What are you drinking now?

Supposed to be an Irish Red Ale but but I over-tweaked the recipe. I’m now calling it Massive Red Fail because the first few glasses tasted like crap. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s a Friday afternoon or what but this glass actually tastes pretty good. More lager like than IRA, but this is actually becoming drinkable.

Red ipa sample. Not terrible but not what I wanted. Moar hops next time.
A housewarming gift from a friend who, unbeknownst to me, brewed a 5 gallon IPA to honor my new house!! He thought it sad my keezer has been empty for months!!

What hops did you use? Made Northern Brewer's Imperial Red using Palisade hops,many moons ago. It was killer.
Magnum to bitter. Mostly Calista (one of my favorites!), with a bit of mosaic. I dry hopped with a small amount of cascade that I had leftover from numerous brews. It was an experimental 1G batch and at packaging I thought I had made my worst beer to date, but its coming together. A little tweaking on the hops and I think I would brew again.
Palisade might turn into a staple in my inventory. It seems really underutilized, but I used it in a bunch of different brews last year and was really impressed with it.

Been quite a while since I’ve posted here. Crazy start of the year. But, my lab just got a new grant studying new drugs for cancer, have a new foster Frenchie, and dog sitting a Frenchie. That makes 5 for the house. So, drinking this tonight.

Never used Calista but I think the fruity character of Palisade works with the Malty Red character. I think your right in general. With the maltiness if a Red almost requires more hops for an IPA version. Local brewery, Austin Beer Garden Brewery (ABGB), makes a killer Imperial Red IPA, Big Mama, if you ever make it down.
Next....GBR! Girls are up against Minnesota

And it’s not the same without a sold out Devaney Center. 8K+ fans is a different experience. Best place to watch volleyball.
Baltic porter. Mmmm.

When you come down, give me a heads up, lots of great places between Virginia Beach and Richmond. Scott's Addition in Richmond is probably the best bang for your buck.

Went to my daughter and SIL’s house for supper, played with the young grandsons for a couple of hours. Back at the house, feeding the washing machine and having a little CC for a nightcap.
Mosaic ipa
Only good thing about working nights is that I can stay up a bit later with a few more beers.

Unfortunately not. He was working on is PhD in Chemistry if I recall. @Remmy will pop in once in a blue moon still. Not many here left from the 2015 crew...
Hydrometer sample of Hb Amarillo pale ale. One of my favorites!

Can you get another one of those glasses? That bisch @RevKev was gonna get me a similar one, but he disappeared.
Was wondering the same thing.

Still trying to dial in the candy cap addition, and playing on SparkFun site.

I can certainly check. They came out a few years back when NYS was promoting the Beverage Trail for tourism. Each participating brewery put one out. This is Captain Lawrence’s. I’ll check around and certainly let you know.

How is that? I can't seem to commit to a whole 6 pack when I see it at the store...
I don't hate it. Admittedly, I only purchased a 12-pack because all SN products are on sale at a local liquor store, but its pretty good. I'd still prefer their flagship pale ale, though. I'm not a huge fan of overly hoppy/juicy beers, and it just starts to slightly get into that territory for me, but its a nice change of pace from my usual favorites. It's worth a six pack, in my opinion.

Beautiful Central Texas Winter day! Did something happen this past week? I don't have water..
...but this will do

Homebrewed kolsch (anybody else competing in the Kolsch Cup?) The batch has been bottle conditioning for 2 weeks, and now that it's carbonated I'll stick 'em in the back of the fridge for lagering. Cheers
Got Chinese for dinner. I usually get the 1x spicy on the mild, medium, 1x to 4x spicy scale. Tonight I went crazy and got 2x. As my eyes are watering and nose running I’m wondering what 3x or 4x is like! Holy cow!

Finally got warm enough to melt a little snow today, but they are calling for a chance of flurries tonight... getting cloudy.
