The Captain!! Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Bens Russian Imperial Stout. Holy crap!!!!!!! So complex, nice alcohol warming, smooth, firm bitterness but balanced. Hats off, @Ben 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Captain!! Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Had another win last night with the wife. She tried both Saison beers and liked them both. Both are fairly inoffensive with funk but she really is starting to come around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris! Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I am drinking a colonial pale ale. It is a good beer but the can was the best part. The top opens all the way up so you really dont need a glass to get all those aromas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris! Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 The beer was solid. One thing I have been noticing with the new pale ales out they all have a fair whack of wheat in them, you can tell by the cloudiness...well it looks like a beer with a fair bit of wheat and you can kind of taste it with how, for me, the wheat brings some softness to the overall beer? Anyone else notice that? I have always used wheat for head retention never really got into the stone and wood style of 60/40 malt and wheat because I sometimes hate wheat biers. I might up my next pale ale, I called em tropical ales but I am ignorant, with a nice percentage of wheat and see how it goes. I haven't brewed in a month and I cannot wait for my next batch!

I think it’s a tops beer. Im not a wheat beer fan however I do enjoy a beer with wheat in it. The latest Saison I have going has 14% wheat. And I put roughly the same amount in my pacific ale today. Ive got some good lacing in the Saison due to the wheat I think. Maybe you should get onto craftd beer glasses that are shaped like a can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris! Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I will look into those, thanks Cap! 14% sounds reasonable to me. I will have a look at your recipe is it the bros pale ale? I was honestly thinking like 25% to 35% or so of wheat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Back home yesterday and poured myself my Evil Twin Beer last night. The extra three weeks in the keg has done it wonders. Mrs Hairy convinced me to get his and hers beer glasses. I can’t believe my life has come to this. Bought them in Walmart for a third of the price of Disney World.

Otto Von Blotto Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Having a red ale or two today while I smoke a batch of bacon. Must be getting close to the end of the keg as it has cleared up nicely now. Tasting as good as ever. Cheers Kelsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashed Crabs Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Drinking my "Pussers IPA" as I bottle my RIS and make a basic AG Pale Ale. @ 9.5% shes a solid girl with plenty of character and bitterness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewers I understand it is a disgrace drinking SEBs (Someone Else's Beer... obviously with the exception of SEHBs --> Someone Else's Home Brew) but as tomorrow is the day for bottling of my very first Wheat Beer (Hefeweizen) I guess there was cause to celebrate. Further, during the week I had the pleasure at a Bavarian Beer Cafe of drinking some Franz HW which was tasty, but for the exorbitant price of $12.65 for a halbe (half a litre)... to counteract that utterly disgraceful financial impost I availed myself a splendid 5L Can from Aldi instead for $30... racing out at approx $3/halbe - less than a quarter of the price. And tasting GREAT. So there you go.... there can be some benefit of a Can... And apologies for the Gutmann Weissbier glass... my Franz glass was not to be found : ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Oh yeah, first pour from the kegerator. Brewdog punk IPA Such a good beer. Thinking this one will be on high rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Captain!! Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I’d have to say that the brew dog recipe I adapted to my system is bloody fantastic. I’d suggest to people that are looking for a great IPA. Do this one. My wife was like straight after she finished her first, “so...... you gonna fill that again” I replied with “so I’ve won the war. Ha ha ha ha” retorted with “ha ha yes hun, you have.” Winning!!!!!! im going to do a side by side tomorrow but I think the freshness will be hard to beat.

However, don't you find that weissbier could use more carbonation than these mini-kegs can provide? Especially the second half of the keg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
