Pics of recent brews?

Well it looks good. I guess you don’t like it?

I was just lamenting the fact that appearance only counts for 1/50 (in theory anyway).

I did make this one a little lighter than usual so I can drink it while I’m playing tennis (1.045 OG instead of the 1.055 I usually do for this recipe). I didn’t dial back the minerals, but at that gravity it comes off the slightest bit minerally and otherwise a little boring. Oh well, it serves the purpose and I like it much better than Gatorade :wink:

Personally, I love the German Dort lagers I’ve had and they’re all a tad minerally.

In between serves?

I’m sick of looking at all of the gin-clear lagers around here :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I’m still hoping more of the hop smeg will drop out, but here’s my take at a hazy IPA:

This is with a flashlight directly against the back of the glass:

Looks great. I can almost smell it from here!

Only on changeovers  :slight_smile: I limit myself to 16oz for a 1.5-3 hour match. Works for me, but YMMV.

I used to know a tennis player in Germany. She would drink lemonade mixed with beer. She was one bad @$$ B.

Gelatin is magic.

Oh no he di’n’t!!!

This supposed to be some kind of Hill Farmstead/Heady Topper wankery for the cloudy-on-purpose deal?

You just started a new obsession for me. I had a little cheapo Crystal Light powdered lemonade laying around and did a few trials in a taster glass at 30/70, 50/50 and 70/30. I think the 50/50 mixed with my Dortmunder is my new favorite sports drink. The minerally bite of the Dortmunder plays nicely with the sweetness and acidic bite of the lemonade.

Latest dort.

That’s a beauty. Love the frothy head.

Yep. Looks great.

Looks awesome !

Nice!

Can you provide a quick hop schedule for a dort? I have a beer that I think is pretty close to a dort in style but uses sterling and crystal hops.

I’ll bet it tastes even better than it looks!

usually merkur/magnum for about 22ibu, and some noble like hallertauer for another 8ibu late addition.

I went with a 50/50 caramunich and carahell blend for 4.6% of grist…digging it.
