It makes me a little leery because I’m going to be kegging real soon. I’ll still bottle portions of each batch, but I’m gonna be pissed if I struggle through 2.5-3g of a keg and find I enjoy the 8 bottles. Plan is to bottle condition anything dark and keg anything hoppy.

You won't miss your bottles.

I was of the same mind when I started kegging, but I instantly noticed my beers were improved by kegging--and that was in the olden days when I used to suck off a siphon and let it drain into an open keg. Once I started learning about oxygen controlled transfers, there was no going back. There's a mind-blowingly huge difference, once you figure out a zero-oxygen transfer rig that works for you.

Spend the money on EVABarrier tubing and push to connect fittings for the gas and liquid sides right away. You won’t regret it.
 
19 Crimes 'Hard Chard' for a Friday night change. Yes, I'm drinking moderately-priced Chardonnay in a metal fish print camp mug...because 16% abv. 🤣

It's good stuff if you're tying San Juan Worms, spinners, Wooly Buggers/Worms, or Adams parachutes/thoraxes.
 
This is the second time you've shown pictures of this beer, so it's not a lighting issue. And you're an *excellent* brewer, so it's obviously not an oxidation problem.

Fess up. You've got Munich malt in that fizzy yellow swill. How much? ;)

I ask because I'm trying to lock up my Panther Piss series beer with that color. I'm starting to think Vienna malt isn't the answer. Next time I'll play around with dilute Dark Munich.

Help a brother out.
No Munich. It’s about as basic a lager recipe as there is. I wouldn’t put too much stock in pics on a message board, although the color of that beer is pretty close, IRL, to what it appears like after the original photo has been resized, uploaded to HBT, and then viewed on who-knows-what device. :cool:

Here’s the recipe.

Ah ha! Pale Ale malt. You win. I wouldn't have guessed that.

Thanks for posting the recipe!

As you rightly point out, the image on my monitor is not to be trusted. It is, however, a gorgeous gold with orange highlights and hints of red. It certainly looks like Munich.

It's a good looking pint, sir.
 
On the coffee
Me too. Trying to decide what to do today. I have a couple beers on deck I want to make, but I also want to try a new technique with a couple of them by adding some sauergut to my boil, but it’s not quite ready yet. The family truckster needs an oil change too. An Irish red ale needs to be kegged sometime soon too.

After all these impressive pints have been posted, I'm sure to get a laugh or two with my mid-carb Spruce Tip WCIPA. 😄 There's a bit of carb there, but it's going to be a few more days..lol. Wow, it is really good!

I'm trying to finish off a small commercial order, and I won't do an order ever again! Sigh..bead-headed muddlers are my nemesis! 🤣
