The Beer Nerd - what are you drinking / brewing thread

Not much tang to it, would not buy again.

 

Built a new display today.

 

And I'm drinking beer. Not good beer but it was free

 

How old was that beer?

Edit: never mind I remember you are an impatient pourer

 

Proper head is key

 

I always like good head.

 

Don’t we all

 

Gotta get rid of the last beer taste

 

What did you have?

 

This.

 

So I usually regret buying this beer but I’m a sucker...



Actually ok today.

...Lousy Lagunitas doesn’t put dates in their bottles.

 

I agree with @Beer:30 he knows his stuff.

For me I got rid of all my oxidation issues by skipping secondary almost exclusively. There is always a danger of adding O2 when you transfer... unless you do it under pressure with co2.

And kegging helped too (no bottling bucket).

If you have the ability to cold crash prior to transferring you’ll minimize the amount of suspended yeast that’ll transfer. But a little doesn’t hurt anything, it packs down.

In fact my last cream ale I didn’t have time to cold crash and kegged it anyway. Came out just as clear as usual but when I went to clean the keg after it kicked there was pretty big yeast cake at the bottom. No problems.

 

On a road trip to Cedar Rapids, IA for work (NCAA D2 wrestling national tournament), found the local brew pub and tried this out:

Third Base Brewing- Don’t Stop Living in the Red (Imperial Red Ale):


Wierd watery after taste... but at 8.4%!

 

Nice!

What do you do for NCAA wrestling?

 

Up next.

 

How is it?

Ranger used to be my favorite

 

I loooove it! Very juicy and hella good flavor. I highly recommend it
