I’m tired of being 4 months behind. Lets start over.
First off, mind blow. I met a dude today who brews good beer and didn’t know what this forum was, or AHA was, or that there was an NHC. How can that be possible?
This weekend I’m brewing a Vienna, an APA, and a Nothern Anglo-Land Brown. Intentionally, none of these will meet the mandates of the poobah guide, nor will I pay to be told how they don’t meet. Nor will I post recipes to be told what I want or don’t want.
Its official my friends, for most of us style don’t mean rip for the next 9 months.
Ooh, that reminds me… Hey, how much nestles quick is appropriate for a light lager?
Know brewing this weekend, but I am splitting and stepping up a yeast started of Cali 001 for an 11 gallon batch of a pale ale to be brewed next Thursday, and starting a vial of 007 for an IPA to be brewed next Friday.
Doing a lager and a bitter. Gonna try some two row and flaked corn to Mericanize the lager and MO to Briticize the Bitter, but don’t have a BJCP style in mind for either…seat of my pants brewing this weekend for some summer guzzlers.
No brewing this weekend. Getting a starter going for an experimental batch of brown ale. Attempting to get close to a local brew…
Then I have to figure out how to brew on Easter weekend: family tutorial for all interested family members? Maybe it’s too much of a reach…
I’ve been thinking the same thing for one of our wedding beers, but with black pepper. I have some small test batches planned over the next few months. Have you considered meyer lemons?
That is just amazing!? Guy must live off the grid or something.
Plan on brewing a double batch of a rye farmhouse style ale. Got two vials of yeast from The Yeast Bay I want to use. The Wallonian Farmhouse and the Funktown Pale. Also just brewed 15 gallons of a belgian dark strong yesterday for a whiskey barrel. That was the first 15 gallon batch I ever did by myself. Thank (enter deity of your choice) for pumps!
Not much brewing here. I’m going to bottle a couple of beers off my Red X test batch before I add some dry hops. Other than that, just a little spring cleaning and organizing in store for the weekend.
Man, this thread is taking me back to my college days. Tang powder, ice, tequila, and a splash of sour mix. Blend. Orange margarita time
But yeah, tang takes me back. Many moons ago, my brother had my mom buy some at the grocery store as a goof after watching some Married with Children episodes. We got hooked on it after that. Tang mead seems like a waste of honey, but it’s sounding really tempting right now.
Heh, funny - this is a test batch for our wedding too. I have considered Meyer lemons, but they are hard to find at the grocery stores here. I could go to whole foods or something, but that’s another trip I gotta make. So I’ll probably stick with the regular lemons.
