Controversial Beer Opinions Thread

haha too true, i gotta save my money to buy a bunch of fonta flora stuff on the black market, and it's pricey

 

I reserve the right to revise and extend my remarks at any time.

 

Spoken like someone who has legal counsel near to hand.

 

There are no nutrients for the yeast in honey, so the yeast struggle. Meads can be made in less time than a lager if you add nutrients.

 

Not it. I'm always on point, brah.

 

Yeah , I used to ferment my meads pretty cool to control any fusels and whatnot, and even those were done in 3 to 4 weeks because I also added yeast nutrient.

That's obviously not necessary when honey is added to beer because the wort has plenty of nutrients to begin with.

 

I tend to give my braggots 8 weeks to finish, just to be on the safe side. Honey is so variable as to its sugar content. Some varietals have almost all monosaccharides, while some have a higher proportion of polysaccharides that take longer to ferment.

 

cool thanks for clearing that up

 

also forgot about this beer but Morning Smack by Three Taverns was a good maple taste for me.

Almost 62 pages! Now that's controversial! Thanks to @EvenMoreJesus

 

Very true. People have strong opinions and sometimes argue well. My debate professor in college was very agreeable unless he thought you were wrong. His insistence on logic was maddening!

 

Oh, ok. I'll let the brewers at Cantillon, Hill Farmstead, Allagash, etc know that they're doing it wrong.

 

I had a Cantilloon beer once, pretty sure it was infected.

 

As mentioned previously, it's a bit of a tease directed at the constant misuse of the term adjunct, not the beers themselves.

 

If not, I'd want my money back!

 

Please do. Keep us posted.

 

Sometimes the fruit in beer has been used as a fermentable making it an adjunct rather than an "add-junk."

For example the cherries added while making a Kriek using traditional methods are left in the barrels for several months and there is a refermentation that takes place.

 

And the regular bottling of Cantillon Kriek is so dry, stark smelling redolent of cherries, further fruity, with sugar that I don't know of, and I love it for rattling my teeth and opening my eyes.

 

It's good to have a positive self-image. Maybe not realistic.......

 

The definition I found for adjunct is unmalted grain. Since fruit is not a grain, not an adjunct - according to that definition.
