    Just racked my Imperial IPA into the secondary fermenter. Dry-hopping with Cascade and Simco hop varieties. One more week, then it's ready to be kegged! Cheers!!

    Ran across this at Bevmo the other day when I was picking up my usual winter complement of Samuel Smith's Imperial Stout, Oatmeal Stout, and Taddy Porter
    [​IMG]

    It is pretty much a straight up English golden, or "bitter" ale, or technically a "special bitter" because of the abv 4.7. When I first smelled and tasted it, I immediately was transported back to a pub in England. That said, I couldn't distinguish it from any other bitter of its type. Very average. It smells like the wooden floor planks of a genuine British pub. The best part is the fucking kick-ass Iron Maiden novelty label. I will have to keep this bottle forever, as we may never see it again...:headbang:

    Awesome. What is the strongest beer a person has made in their own home? That was still drinkable.

    Some pumpkin ale home brew! Tastes nothing like pumpkin but no off flavors or smells, therefore a success!

    18-20% is possible, but not all yeasts are gonna be able to do that.

    Avery uses 1028 London Ale, and we've exceeded 18% on Beast Grand Cru.

    To get higher, people freeze the beer and remove the ice.

    So far my cider has been a flop, but I'm working on it. Two of the three test bottles were flat and yeasty. Popped the third today, added .5 tsp of lactose for sweetness and 1.5 tsp of dextrose for carbonation. We'll see what it's like around Christmas. On a positive note, I tried a small sample out of each of the two gallons I have in carboys and they're developing some great crispness and don't taste yeasty like my test bottles. They've been sitting in secondary for maybe a month? Getting better with age for sure.

    Even more important is starting out slow by keeping it cool. Hard for most homebrewers to do. We will get a stalled fermentation if we let it rip at 68-72F. The yeast is much more willing to continue fermentation if it starts out at 64F for the first 3-4 days. Darn catabolite repression.

    I had some 120 a few weeks ago at world of beer. They got a keg for their 3rd anniversary. It was a great beer and look forward to getting my hands on it again.
