The Beer Nerd - what are you drinking / brewing thread

It's a mead, not beer. It's delicious. Very very sweet. Definitely a bottle to be shared

 

Freddy Murkury - Imperial NE IPA. Really juicy and good

 

Just saw that in the pic.
Looks good.

 

The most I'll have is 6 beers, although sometimes some of them are 12% alcohol or so, but if it's those, I have a small glass.

 

Nope. I'm 47 and have no issues. First thing I would check is your hydration level. Dehydration and alcohol is a bad mix

You'll be fine. Most home brewers let their beers sit for 30+ days.

 

Great I'm planning on letting this sit for 3 more weeks.

 

Stone Corral Bramble Blackberry Sour

 

That doesn't seem that bad but if you're mixing a bunch of different types maybe that's contributing to it.

 

Abide by the local Brash Brewing company. Described as a White Russian Milk Stout. I describe it as delicious.

Be careful man, there's a cocktail here....

 

I got my first-ever hangover around that age. You're no longer a spring chicken. If you must drink, you need to hydrate at the same time. Powerade Zero is my go-to hangover preventive. I make sure to drink at least half a bottle before going to bed and I keep the bottle beside me to sip on during the night. Take a swig or two between beers also. Got to keep those electrolytes in your system.

 

Oh wow, how was this

 

OK. For the longest time I have wanted to make a Cascade style (Lactic) sour.

The journey begins today.
I found a Rare Barrel Porter recipe to use as a base, I am making 10G, which will age in a plastic malt container where I will add wood and fruit.

So its a sach primary ferment and the second gets innoculated. I will use Cascade to innoculate it.

18.5 lbs Avanguard German Pils
3 lbs German Wheat
1 lb Belgian Aromatic
1 lb Flaked Oats
1 lb Simpsons Medium Crystal (65L)
1 lb Belgian Chocolate Malt
1 lb German Chocoalte Wheat (Spalt substitute)
4 oz German Dehusked Carafa 2

.25 oz Perle 2% 60:00

The recipes calls for spalt, which wasnt available I was told wheat would work, and I figured some more chocolate wouldnt hurt the style, so I chose German Chocolate Wheat instead of other wheats. Spalt wasnt available at my brew shop, they say get asked about it once a year.

 

Afternoon all. Enjoying a simple but tasty Red Lager.

 

Stressful day. So I stopped by my local (didn't know there was one!) Mr. B's and grabbed something that apparently rarely comes to Colorado. Other things, too. But this one stood out.

 

The Alchemist Luscious British Imperial Stout

 

Nice! From our neck of the woods. Good to see it there. If you can get Kiwi Rising, get it. Worth a try.

 

Not bad...very spicy which overpowered the rest of the intended flavor. Stick with Stone's Xocoveza.

 

Wings to go with my beer....
