Ok. Not that bad. But sour.

It depends on what you get. Most are very gingery, not sour. I thought with all the fermentation fanatics on this site, someone might enjoy it It is open fermented tea usually made with fruit and ginger and usually highly carbonated. There is an alcohol version, but the ones in the store are usually below 0.5%. I love the damn things, and Publix even has their own brand.

Gotta be careful Roach, if you tend to suffer from dehydration!
But don't only drink water. You need to replenish electrolytes.
Worse suffering I have seen in my pretty harsh climate is when people only drink water.....

Oh yeah, I come in for a Gatorade with lunch, but I tend to avoid those while working so hard. They're not real good for the ticker. When I put the tools/equipment away, I'll have another Gatorade for a cool-down, then follow that with a couple more big helpings of water, and then chase it all down with a nice cold beer just before dinner. I can tell when the electrolytes are down, too. Arthritic joints will let you know quickly. Gettin' old SUCKS!

You know that battery you traded in the other day? You know the liquid inside it?

Just sayin'.

Think I gotta go with BB on this one if it's that bad, LOL. I'm fairly open to new things, and will try most anything (that makes some logical sense) at least once. Food/drink, yep, I'm probably gonna try it, if I can get it past my nose. If it smells bad (to me), nope, ain't goin' down the gullet. Sometimes, I'll even try something two or three times just to make sure my tastebuds weren't on strike or something.
 
As for next brew, pretty much outta time to get the Quarterly in. I get a little too repetitive in what I brew, especially if I find something I like. I do 22L batches, so don't wanna brew up a big batch of something I don't want/like. I need to have a look at the quarterly recipe.
 
I think I need to try Kambucha. Gotta find a scoby somehow

Anyway, next brew will be a simple cider on left over BRY 97 slurry as it is so easy to make.
And, as I will be kegging it, that gives me about a week to decide on my next beer :)

Nothing ventured Nothing gained RoadRoach.

The whole idea of the Quarterly brew is to introduce you to styles of beer you normally wouldn't brew.

Your loss...

There isn't (at least I hope there isn't) a rule that you have to brew a quarterly brew in the quarter is was selected for. I went for a 6 month stretch where I didn't have time to brew anything. After brewing a couple of recipe's of mine I've really been wanting to brew, I will look at the quarterly brews I missed and brew one of those. As for brewing a style you're not sure you will like, try a commercial beer of that style. I did that with one of the quarterly recipes and wound up not brewing it because I just didn't like that beer style. I can honestly say I have never been disappointed in a quarterly brew. And even been pleasantly surprised by some. One in particular was @Nosybear's Big Lubelski (Piwo Grodziskie). I never would have brewed that one on my own and therefore would never have known I liked beer maed with smoked wheat malt.

Indeed. The Q recipes have never once let me down. Sometimes they are a bit difficult to shoehorn into my schedule, but every one that I have brewed has been worthwhile. And I have learned a lot brewing outside my comfort zone.

Best idea ever.

Well after a VERY long lagering period my Cali Common that I believed to be a dumper, dropped clear and taste is right on point...so I'm feeling lucky.

Going to take another stab at the style I just can't seem to get right. Thinking I need to increase my batch size to get the mash right so I doubled it to 11 gallons...

Scary how beer tends to work out if we let it. Glad to hear the batch turned out fine.

That one looks about as simple as a beer recipe gets.
 
Will do. I brewed this a few times before (slightly modified this timeI’ll see if I can find it. But yeah I’ll post pics of it when it’s done. Probably brewing Saturday
