What homebrew are you drinking, August edition.

I call it Jack Weed Plunker. Basic pale ale but for the last 15 minutes threw in one pellet at a time of 1.5 oz of Amarillo. Big dry hopping of cascade and simcoe. Sits at a comfy 4.7%

 

Session ale #3 with rye, perhaps too much rye, super hazy tastes bad, could be the first bad batch of the year, gonna wait a week then try again.
Then onto the brothers oak and maple stout, super.

 

Glass blending an older pineapple/sage Berliner weisse with a younger blueberry Berliner weisse. Both fermented with the same sacch/brett strain. Tasting pretty nice..

 

Citra lager after splitting wood. Outstanding and my pals loved it.
5 cord split, 10 pints gone, everybody happy

 

10 pints for 5 cords, you got off easy!

 

Hahahahah, we are getting old and most wanna just go home!

 

65% wheat, 30% pale ale, 5% carared. Brewed 8/13, tapped yesterday 8/19. Spunded to 4vols.

 

DIPA 8.27% ABV, 38 IBUs calculated. Brewed on 6/24/17, poring from the keg on 7/10/17.
Grain Bill: 52.6% Golden Promise, 10.5% Honey Malt, 10.5% Spelt, 10% Flaked Wheat, 10.5% flaked oats, 5% corn sugar (too much).
Hops: El Dorado, Amarillo (small bittering charge), Azacca hops. (mostly whirlpool, bio trans, and keg dry hopped)
London Ale 3 yeast, temp controlled at 63 degrees for first 3 days and slowly ramped up to 72 before transferring to keg. Some of the hops were added during bio-transformation.
Started out bitter and boozy, now its smoothing out to more floral nose, tropical and citrusy flavor. Less boozy with a mildly silky creamy mouthfeel.
I will be honest, I was just throwing grain in the recipe to experiment. I had some cans from Tired Hands and wanted to see how the spelt would effect things. Its a very drinkable beer, my IPA drinking friends have enjoyed it as well!

Here's my attempt at the averagely perfect ESB. Came out pretty solid if I do say so myself

 

Trying to make these two last until my tap water cools down.
First is a Notch "Land Speed Record" clone. 50% wheat with a bunch of whirlpool and dry hopped Citra and Huell Melon. 5% abv. Was meant to add Grungeist but I never got it. Head brewer at Notch actually gave me some tips on this one! Turned out great!

Second one was a clone recipe in a recent Zymurgy for a so-called Sloop Juice Bomb. I used mainly Golden Promise pale malt with about 15% wheat. And again, a bunch of Citra with a healthy about of Amarillo and a touch of Simcoe. (I've learned that I LOVE simcoe in small doses and HATE it in large doses). Two points of interest: 1. This was my first time re-using yeast. I used Gigayeast's Vermont yeast with no starter for the Notch clone and then reused a bunch of it for this one. Really great for summer drinking and will be sad when they're kicked (any day now). 2. First pic is with iPhone 4 and second is with iPhone 7.

 

Spunded to 4vols. I like the sound of this....did you transfer to a keg near end of fermentation and use a spunding valve set to a certain pressure that you knew would hold it at 4vols? I'd love to do this. Great looking beer too.

 

Couple. Of. Citra lagers followed by nibed stout

 

Post some pics. I love seeing other people's homebrew.

 

You always have the best heads of any beer I've ever seen commercial or homebrew.

 

Currently sipping on a NE IPA I did with sacch trois.
80 SO4, 160 CL
64% base malt (50/50 pils, 2-row)
16% wheat malt
16% flaked oats
2% honey malt
2% acid malt (for ph adjustment)

55 ibu. Columbus for bittering.
mosaic, equinox, galaxy and otto supreme in the whirlpool.
Mosaic, Galaxy and equinox dry hop.

It's been exactly 4 weeks since brew day and it's tasting amazing right now.

 

Yup, rack from fermenter to keg with ~5 points remaining. Hold 50psi until FG.

 

Thanks! I pride myself on my foam.

Beautiful. Did you ingest this after the eclipse? I believe Oregon was supposed to be in line for it today!
