HB roggenbier. (For roggenbier, HB is the only kind I’ve ever found!)

That was one of my first, non American brew attempts. Came out as straight up banana!

Taking the kids out tonight but cooling off with an adult beverage.

A kegging sample of my new Vienna lager. It’s a tad sweet, but I had a hell of a time with my strike water temp, so that’s what I’ll blame it on. Maybe it’ll be better when it’s clear and carbonated.

Also a HB Schwarzbier from @Section1 . This is excellent dude!! Very well done.

Edit: after a couple more sips of my Vienna and seeing the FG reading (1.012), its not sweet, but there’s a slight white grape flavor I’ve been striving for. I forgot I put 28 oz of Sauergut in my boil. Now I’m eager for final taste.

Too much wood Character?

So with no mention on the label, this was a PB&J style mead. I guess the PB was the “natural flavor” mentioned on the label. It appeared that the PB did not mesh well with the barrel character. I personally love oak flavor, the oakier the bourbon the better. But, it just majorly clashed with PB flavoring in this bottle.
 
HB India Pale Lager. 5.9% at 51 IBU. Saflager S-23 at 14°C (57°)F for a few weeks. Lots of late hopping, but no dry hopping as I wanted it clear. Malt was half Pilsner, half Munich Type 1. Used Idaho 7 hops for the first time. Tastes great. I generally avoid new fangled words, but it does taste "dank" or maybe a bit of tabacco, but in a good way. I think I found a new favorite hop.

Bought a 10gal Rye Whiskey Barrel this morning. Ergo, brewing a 3gal yeast starter. Plan on this being a French Toast Stout. Got a couple of these brewing beers for tonight.
