The Beer Nerd - what are you drinking / brewing thread

Bubbles!

 

Digging this


Also I like cans. Seems to keep the beer more fresh. Except SN pale ale in a can taste weird to me. All others ok.

 

I don't have any new beers to drink tonight, or any beers for that matter, other than a few really good beers, or 750ml bottles that I can't drink to myself. Sad day.

Trying this

 

Cans can be great, especially because they keep beers from getting that skunky light struck flavor. However, I will say it's a lot harder to keep dissolved oxygen levels lower in cans vs bottles. There's just a lot more surface area in the headspace of a can when canning vs bottling. Of course most of the big breweries have the canning process wired with very low can DO levels, but some of the smaller breweries struggle with the DO's of less expensive canning lines, which are more fickle.

 

Makes sense now why some places "purge" the crowler with CO2 before filling it.

The more you know.

Thanks

 

Not bad. Tart, lots of bubbles.

Because shopping for new washers sucks...

 

I kegged my other pils and added 2 oz premiant hops, its been carbonating.
I just poured some, not done carbonating, the premiant have given it a pungent, sharp, almost skunky note (no this beer never saw sunlight).
I dont think I will touch premiant again. OTOH, its very green with 2 oz of pellet hops just put in Saturday.

The Gose I doctored with grapefruit juice and lactic is tasty, but needs some more salt to get back on style.

The IPA was kegged (no dry hops yet) and will carbonate when the pils is done.

 

Sweet!

I just kegged an American wheat and a cream ale. Now they're carbonating in the new to me keezer I got. I also have a really dry English cider.

I'm digging all the space I have to grow into. My old kegerator only had space for two cornies.

My tower only has two taps. I think it's time to add a third... and to mount it to the lid somewhere.

 

I LOVE 21st Amendment's Monk's Blood!!

 

Was in Peru last month and had three of these while watching the Peru-Venezuela soccer game. Quite malty, but I found it went down very well! Haven't found it locally yet.

 

My kegerator can fit 5 corney's in it with 3 taps. My biggest issue now is I have 15 gallons of IPA fermenting and 0 kegs to put it in. I'll have to pull some of my Pale ale's to "condition" in the basement while I carb up the IPA.







My current Brew stand, Will be adding a pump and building a counter flow chiller soon. 1:15 to cool 15ish gallons is taking way too long!

 

I am fucking jealous of all your guys brew setups

 

Hunahpu. I picked up this Zhukov variant when I was in Tampa for Hunahpu Day.

 

I would assume Lakeland. It's between Tampa and Orlando.
