The evap method is simple...hold a beer at 175F for 15-30min. That's really it; however, in doing so you are changing the beer and have to adjust accordingly (it's the adjusting accordingly that's proven to be the challenge).

So mash, boil to sterilize, ferment and then what about treating the period at 175 as the boil? Add hops through that process?
Honestly idk what I’m talking about

Damn, take that long to drink HB? You know a black hole could enter our orbit any day.

A fav!

Hard to believe but this is my first CBS. I couldn’t get bombers by me this year so thanks @pshankstar for hooking me up. Even though this is my first I was able to accumulate a vertical of CBS for a special occasion. Also I’m not sure if this was a good decision on a work night.

Last pour. I think the central air is on but I’m getting warm.

About 2 hours ago. HB Cream Ale in a Yeti cup, off to charge the A/C in one of our trucks.

About an hour ago. HB Cream Ale with supper.

Just now. HB Cali Common on my way to the recliner. Long day.

He really is kind of the best cat ever. But at the same time he's completely the worst.

I think that describes every cat I’ve owned. And I loved them all.

Stopped at my new favorite local for couple beers and a bite to eat, Humdinger Brewing.

I’m glad I could help you out with your first CBS! That’s cool you were able to collect a vertical of them too!
Cheers bud!

Mash high (although I'm beginning to question that guidance), then boil to sterilize (add low quantities of hops and lower AA preferred), ferment, then bring to 175f and add hops as needed. Holding off hopping until the evaporation is to avoid super bitter beer which you would have if you followed your normal process and then evaporated.

This year that I'm having is either it's slightly too sweet or it has a twang to it (the only way that I can describe it). The sweetness I think is coming from mashing it at a high temperature, but they tell you to do that when you're making non-alcoholic beer. I forget the logic why; it was something I read but don't remember.

They also say this is not a good method for pale ales and absolutely not with IPAs (due to hops). Supposedly brown ales and wheats are a good beer for this; however, I think I'll do a stout. They already have low alpha acid hot additions, and a little sweetness is actually a good thing. Maybe an oatmeal stout since I haven't done that before.

To be clear, I don't know what I'm talking about either. This is only my second evaporated beer. All of the other non-alcoholic beers that I've made have just been based on a grain bill and setting the OG where needs to be.

Still no C or K BS; however, they're on the shelf mocking me all the time.

HB Berliner Weiße. 3,5% ABV, no boil, no hops. Co-pitched S33, WLP672 (brevis) and Brett bruxx. Ph stopped at 3,5. Just the right amound of "sourness", lots lemon aroma, some brett, love it.

Interesting. No hops? Sounds good!

OT: Drinking water (actual H2O) with breakfast.

That temp might need a lunch beer.

Stopped at a liquor store I haven't been to before and found a few things. My first time having one of these. I really liked it.

Always available at Kroger. It's my favorite beer they have on the shelf.

That's a sweet little boy, watching the bubbles or waiting to get his share.

 

[TwistedGray]

@TBC RIS - I did not find it as "spicy" as mine, which means it's easier to drink anytime of the year.

Lunch beer. HB tripel #28, brewed 3-24-20. This one is my favorite so far. I used Neo-1 hops for bittering.

EDIT: I was trying to hold off 'til 4, but it just hit 111°. RealFeel? 111 f*#@in degrees!
