Cool. Is that snow on the ground? Where I live in Southern California, it’s been like summer the past few days.
Oh, and to stay on topic, I’m drinking Sierra Nevada Hop Bullet - tasty.

Why yes it’s snow, the frozen water that transforms Wisconsin into a barren wasteland for 2-10 months of the year.

We hit the North end last time we were there and Bridge 99 was one of our stops. Sampled some nice beers and played some Cribbage. Comfy place.

Piper Down at Highlander in Missoula MT. We heavy at 8.5abv
Tapped into my cream ale. It’s ready!
Plenty of body. Going to add a little corn sugar next time.

Okay, words cannot describe this one. Made by a local craft brewer, Northworks, who are good friends too. Elaine roasts the beans herself, then cold brews the coffee to add to this robust stout. This is one that you would want to drizzle over your french vanilla ice cream on Christmas day!

One of the better beer names I've seen in a while.

They have a few versions of this one, the original did not have coffee in it, they call it the 9 toed sloth, my buddy Steve only has 9 toes, and he is not to be trusted
This version is my favorite.

This time it's not the normal wanting the keg to kick. I'd rather it lasted. The IPA I brewed last Sunday is still actively fermenting, despite an quick start and very reasonable vigor since. It did slow Thursday and I Set the temp in my fermentation fridge to 70F, allowing it to free rise.
I added the dry hops yesterday and it's still putting out a steady stream of bubbles through the airlock (2 or3/second). Normally I'd have the temp ramped down by now. I seldom use BRY-97, but have always gotten to FG in 3 to 5 days. The Krausen is receding, so it is getting close. Looks like this will my first brew that doesn't make it from grain to glass in 16 days or less for a looooooooooong time. Still have some Smoked Stout and, there's always PBR

First batch of yeast cells flocked out early and left their offspring to finish the ferment?
Sure isn't a sign of a bad beer either...
Havnt fermented an ale with Chico/standard ale yeast for a fair while since brewing with Kviek that stuff just rocks through the wort throws it's own fruity flavours though well the ones I've used at high temps anyway so not neutral.

Wouldn't ya know it. Went in and checked on it just after posting and the airlock isn't bubbling I'm not worried about the beer quality, just want it done. Guess I'm just spoiled with the performance I'm getting out of the Mangrove Jack's strains I've been using. Once I learned not to expect attenuation over 67% from their Empire Ale, I'm getting everything I want.
