What Homebrew are you drinking? (September 2018)

on the electric lease for next week, so couple of clean up ipas and a couple of bvery young belgian blueberry/peach.

 

In between houses right now... staying at my mom’s with my wife and 2 kids, with half of our shit in her living room. Stressful times, but I’m drinking a simple saison, fermented with white grape must. Dry hopped with hallertau blanc.

The YB saison blend I is on its 5th generation and really starts getting good after a few months of bottle conditioning. Moving sucks, but this beer doesn’t!

 

onward to another chocolate stout, friends have swung by.

 

How did you sour? Kettle? Post boil co pitch?

 

What wine? I'm looking to so a saison with Nelson sauvin and sauvignon blanc must if I can find a 1 gallon kit.
But if I can't find a SB kit any fruit forward white should work.

Nothing crazy, but the grape flavors came through pretty well after carbonation. I added it at two stages during high krausen

 

Neipa with WLP-300. Was hoping to mix banana esters with the hops but it came out like grapefruit.

 

Post boil pitch. I give the Lacto 24-48 hours head start over the yeast when I do that. It's arguably risky with Sacch (since the low pH could interfere with a good healthy fermentation) but Brett can handle the low acidity (and actually, in my experience, so can Sacch). I generally pitch the Lacto in the 90s and then let it free fall to room temperature, at which point I pitch the yeast.

 

30 minute mash and boil neipa with citra eldorado and so4. Grist was typical. Very satisfied for only taking 3 hours.

 

Helles!

 

Not the best lighting but this is my NE-ish IPA that I’m calling Still Bitter. 80% 2 row, 10% rye, 10% oats. Bittered to 50 ibu with Simcoe, and then lots of late Azacca and Mosaic additions. Soft, creamy, fruity palate. Finishes dry, green, and lightly bitter, with a little peppery kick from the rye. Pretty good!

 

Some recent QC on some of the new beers on the system. Not ready yet, but getting close.

Helles


Pils


Festbier

 

This is my gluten free attempt at this:

The yeast blend really rounds things out and adds a little perceived sweetness to the brew. I'm a fan and will be experimenting quite a bit with this going forward. Head retention and lacing are much better now that I've cut oats out of the grist. Flavor is very nice. I can see the Julius flavor in there, but this hopping schedule is not as hop saturated and as aromatic as I would like. My best gf hoppy brew to date!

 

burton light,,,, only.

 

American version of imperial stout; prefer the Belgian version. Aggressive pour.

 

Roggenbier , Hefeweizen, NEIPA all on tap.

 

That looks tasty!

 

Thanks, I’m gonna cellar the remaining. Good fresh but could improve with some age.

Edit: sorry by cellar I mean till December. This beer was bottled 11 days ago.

 

Excellent bottle opener!
