What are you drinking now?

How have I missed Sapwood Cellars! Thankfully a good friend was there and offered to bring back my online order for me.
Some ages on these cans but still drinking really well. Especially the cheater hops.

Glen Moray while kegging the Chocolate Milk Stout.

Nightcap. I’m not a serious Bourbon drinker but, for a middle shelf whisky, this isn’t bad, at all.

More HB Märzen

 

[seanjwalker1]

HB Czech Premium lager. Quite D-Lish !

 

[grampamark]

Good looking beer, Sean!

Finally doing the happy birthday part of the happy birthday. Can't believe she's 15. I need more ammo...

Good looking beer, Sean!

Almost all of our beers are good looking.

Sort of like all of us homebrewers, huh?

Keg kicked. I'm drinking the last pint of a pale/amber ale based on Yooper's #20. Fortunately I have a nice triple ready to move into the empty keg.

Goes without saying...

. Last time I partied with the Captain I damned near got busted from Sgt to private. Got chased by the Schweinfurt Germany Gestapo, got in a fight with the post gate guard, told a SSGT to stick his head where the sun don't shine and got into fisticuffs with a German tree...not my proudest moment in uniform. Never touched the stuff again. I won't even go into the international incident in Mexico courtesy of Mezcal tequila....

That damn tree had it comin

 

[lawdawg]

Yes they do

Looks can be deceiving!! Not always.. Just saying ! Last Czech I made looked like Heaven and tasted like Hades!

As I recall from that long ago alcoholic fog Human-Arbor battle...the tree won. I might a got the best of it, but the German bushes ganged up on me too. It was a lost battle from the start

So an hour or so ago I posted a picture of the last pint of a delicious ale from a keg that just kicked. .
Instead of doing the smart thing and calling it a night, I decided to have a nightcap. I pulled the first pint of a keg that had been conditioning in the fridge. Acetobacter up the kazoo! A true dumper! Immediately I was pissed; but now, not so much. It's just water, I mean beer, under the bridge.

In thirty years of this hobby; this was about the fifth batch I dumped. Thinking about the paucity of dumpers in my long career made me smile for a few reasons :

1. I'm obviously a master brewer.
2. Obviously my process is close to flawless.

OR MAYBE

3. Apparently I like ****** beer.
4. Apparently my palate sucks.

Whatever, I'll be cleaning those kegs tomorrow and refilling them with the nectar of the gods.

Sipping on some homebrew. Hopfenweizen that slightly misses the mark. I tried to get more advanced than I probably needed to with the mash procedure and over acidified the mash a touch. I also opted for a big whirlpool addition instead of dry hopping which put a little too much bitterness into the beer. It's certainly drinkable. There are things to like and things to fix about this beer. I will have no problem polishing off the keg but it isn't good enough that if I had ordered it somewhere I would have paid for another pint. I feel like I know what I did wrong, I can easily fix it for next time and it will be a great beer the next time.

I've considered that one a few times but not tried it yet. Let me know how it turns out

It's great! There's an all grain version too...and it's pretty cheap.

Coffee while my mash rests...

Bonus: My upgrade drip tray arrived!

HB Blackcurrant IPA. Maris Otter and a bit of Carapils for malt. Hopped with Bramling Cross for 78 IBU. For yeast I used the yeast cake of a Dark Mild made with Wyeast London ESB. 9 days sitting on thawed flash frozen blackcurrants mashed with a potato masher.
Tastes tart, bitter, and good. It reminds me a bit of Lambrusco.

I ended-up with 7.6% ABV, so one could call it a light DIPA with a full days supply of vitamin C!

@NotSure I have a Black Currant Black IPA in my queue! I'm glad to see that you had a similar thought... For now I have to settle for New Beer Saturday: HB Citra and Idaho Gem IPL:
