What are you drinking now?

[BrewinInPA]

My just kegged Oktoberfest/Marzen.
Got tired of orange O'fests. I found Hubert Hanghofer's Ur-Marzen recipe and tweaked it a bit. Turned out nice. It seemed to emulate what I used to get many years ago before the "Festbier" replaced the original Oktoberfest. In particular, Hofbrau had a great O'fest back then - dark and very easy to drink. Not quite there, yet, but still working on it. I'm thinking some Munich Dark might be the answer.

Consider a Dunkelweizen or a Shwartzbier as well Doppelbock, anyone?

No, just a little to change the character.

Not so sure about this one.

My first beer in 9 days. HB NEIPA. Tastes weird… but then again nothing tastes quite right yet, and from what I understand, might take a long time, if ever. I’m happy to see that it doesn’t look like mud though.

My taste came back in about two weeks. Smell took months and it still comes and goes at times. Go luck and get better

I am kind of in Wine/ Cyser mode, but I just kegged an amber Belgian Dubbel I made a couple weeks ago. Waiting to bottle a couple of gallons of Seyval wine and my Cyser, but I keep stealing samples of it. I also just started a batch of mixed black grapes, about 130 pounds worth crushed yesterday and innoculated today. That won't be ready for months though.

Welllll this looks good.

My O'fest recipe has shifted from roughly 1/3rd Pils, Munich & Vienna (orange beer) to a Munich/Vienna mix with a little CaraMunich III. In view of my effort to emulate the Hofbrau O'fest of old, I'm considering subbing maybe a pound or so of Dark Munich for the Light Munich. Setting aside the higher percentage dark munich's you point out as changing the style, what would a small bit of dark munich add to an o'fest/marzen?

First world problems! I need to kill my West Coast IPA so I can keg the Chocolate Milk Stout.

You'd hire people to do the heavy lifting and just do the brew mastering!!!

One of the things that people who don’t own a business don’t understand is that everybody else gets paid before the owner. If I want to make beer without knowing if I‘m going to get paid this week I’ll just keep homebrewing. I don’t need to trade the uncertainty of the business I already own, and have 45 years of experience in, for the uncertainty of a business that I have 0 years of experience in.

Was just encouraging you because you seem so dang good at it!

I homebrew and I know things. Beyond that, don’t let pictures posted on a message board fool you.

Earlier, just before sundown, HB Porter while waiting for 38 lbs on the scale (filling a tank out of our bulk tank by the shop so I could grill some burgers for supper).

Now, HB Mosaic SMaSH.

 

[pshankstar]

Very sweet, slightly tart and smooth. The raspberry was my favorite followed by the apple and cherry the least.

Tried the peach? I love that one. I haven’t had luck finding any varieties around here lately though.

I was hopeful to try all four last night and saved the peach for last but was exhausted and couldn't stay up any later. I look forward to trying it tonight. I lucked out at our local Wegmans (grocery store) and found all four bottles in the make your own 6-pack for $12 in the beer cooler. Yet on the European shelf they had them all in full 4-packs and the mixed 4-pack. They were $15/4-pack if my memory was correct. I had been eyeing these beers but kept holding off and I am glad I did! Got the mixed 4-pack cheaper and two other beers.

Just mowed the lawn and having a “short” pour. HB simcoe Amarillo. BTW short pour = anything less than 16 full ounces in my book! Lol.

Love pizza night. Tossed my last pizza on the grill.

And on the grill. Changing it up. Some Maine cider. Okay
