Tester of HB bitter, needs another week to finish carbing up.
 
Done for the day. Tomorrow, I get to try my hand at mixing the red/black paint to create a dark maroon she wants. Luckily we have several colors lying around already. Given the price for wood these days, saving money on paint would be nice...

Speaking of nice. $2.50 Nitro action

Calcium and Mg in good ranges. Sodium ridiculously low - I have a hard time getting under 50 even when I cut my tap water with distilled. I’m still struggling to understand the effect of sodium other than “salty”. You have about 2:1 sulfate to chloride and both at good levels. Seems decent enough, I like it. I’ve been going a little higher, maybe 2.5 to 1 sulfate to chloride for British beers. There’s something about calcium helping with hot break. I think the rule has been to try to get to 100 but also not to add chalk. I wouldn’t be unhappy at 78. Sometimes I struggle to get to 60 if I’m using distilled water.

Banded Peak Brewing Sour DIPA. I left out the hazy, even though it's in the name. Kind of a haze to it, I guess. :) It's a bit bitter, and a bit sour...nice grain finish, and they used Alberta-grown malt, from a company called Origin Malting & Brewing Co. Hey, 8% works too! 🤣 Cheers!

Edit: I guess all the 'haze' is in the bottom of the can! Poured the last little bit, and yup, there's some haze in the glass now. :mug:

You know that you're not going to maintain weight loss by drinking these, right? Anything above 5% ship this way. I'm here to save you!!

Well damn, this isn't going to help...

HB 7% Dubbel. About half way through the new West Side Story. Pianoman is very impressed with the music and choreography.
