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!
Happy Friday, Dude.
Cheers H2BMHappy Friday, Dude.
Yeah, I pulled a ratchet out of the shed this morning that was frozen solid with dehydrated grease. Complete disassembly and cleaning all parts with Aerokroil put things right.Aerokroil! One of my favorite, secret ingredients. And in the king size can, no less!
Altho a neighbor state, mass, they've distributed here for a while. Seems like they have a good dist connection.Sloop Juice Bomb! Ive had this before and its VERY good. What surprised me the most is that I bought a 6 pack of 12oz cans in a small local craft beer store here in eastern north carolina! I was super surprised to see this here given Sloop is in upstate NY and I didn't know they were distributing beyond the NY area. I asked the manager if they got this on their own or a distributor brought it and she said that "advantage distributing" brought this beer to them and they serve NC, SC, and TN. So since this is one of their staple core beers, Im wondering if Sloop has plans for major distribution. Ive only had a handful of their beers and all are very good. Nelson DDH Bomb was my favorite thus far. Hoping to see more down in NC in the future. I will also add that the canning date was 5/14/20, so its only 15days old from canning date too!View attachment 682705
Yeah I looked up Advantage Distribution and while they serve only three southern states, they claim to be only a "craft beer and fine wine" distributor. Interesting approach from a distributor. I imagine they are small sized but that allows them to distribute good beers within appropriate timelines too.Altho a neighbor state, mass, they've distributed here for a while.

A favorite of mine!!Another new one for me. I guess I should get out more. Wasn't sure about it at first but it's getting better as I drink it. Definitely dark and big on flavor.

Ouch! Reminds me of the time a family member put her finger in the fan blade of my DIY glycol chiller right after I had chilled my blood orange pale ale. Had to improvise to save the beer as she ended up destroying the chiller. We ended up calling it 22 stitches pale ale for reasons that are not hard to imagine. Feel better!Well I scored an old broken kegerator with 10lb and 2.5lb co2 all free.
Grabbed this great new find to start stripping it down

I'll have to confess it's one of my favorites too.A favorite of mine!!

It's big on flavor but not on abv. I seem to recall it's 5% or less, iirc.I did find it very enjoyable. Plan to try and make something similar if I can find a recipe that's close to it. I don't usually like bigger beers but this was excellent.
HB Pliny the Younger clone. I’ve had the Elder but not the Younger, so I have nothing to compare it to. All I can say is this is really, really good. Only in the bottle a week so still fresh. Goes well with the air fryer buffalo wings.

I dry hopped day 6, 4, 2 and 1. Fermented in a 5 gallon bucket. Dry hopped in hop bags, but boil hops were just thrown in and then just decanted off when transferring to fermenting bucket. The recipe was not mine, one of those available online.Sir, if you don't mind.
Did you do the 4 dry hop version? What method of fermentation? Keg? Carboy? How about transferring and straining the hops? Curious minds what to know.
