A smoked Hefe from an experimental gallon batch. Has just a hint of subtle smoke. I scaled up for a 3 gallon batch and increased the smoked malt this time around.
Drinking my first “Barrel Aged” Brew. A Kentucky Vanilla Barrel Cream Ale. Nice blend of aged bourbon barrel oak and vanilla flavor. Not a session beer, but certainly a good starter to my sessionable beers this Friday evening.
Inspired by the bourbon barrel aged Kentucky Vanilla cream ale, decided to chase it with my favorite Kentucky Boubon.
A little change of pace. Drinking a raspberry cider I fermented about 3 months ago. I do ciders for the wife, but I think she gave up the drink for lent, so somebody has to drink it I could get used to this.
Golden Road’s “Back Home Gingerbread Stout”, it’s a seasonal beer for them that’s brewed through December. It’s okay... I get the stout and gingerbread, but not my favorite. 6.5/10. Wide gives it a 7/10
my pub beer ive been waiting for turned out off, well had a crazy fermentation, I'm putting it together what happened but long story short acetaldehyde, "green apples". it fermented for 12 days without stopping so I just sat it in a cold place and it stopped then kegged it, I guess I could warm it up and add more yeast, not sure whats worse waiting or tasting green apples lol
got my pub beer fixed, drinking a glass now and very good beer, wow just like i planned, its still young and milky but i ran out of co2 so ill work on it before pics
Cherrywood Smoked Stout. Used a pint in the cornes beef boil yesterday and the wife used dome in a chocolate cake too. For only being in the keg for a few days it's very tasty.
Waiting for a keg of IRA to settle out after transferring it from the shop to the house. Right now, a pull from a VERY small batch of whisk is wetting my whistle.
