the important part

done with paper, 8 beers down. feeling pretty good on an empty stomach.

fuck allentown

I dont know why it took me this long to finally get around to drinking a Sierra Nevada Hoptimum

but a super thank you to the dickback who left me a sixpack of it in my garage on friday night!

doing some fridge cleanup

new belgium shift pale lager followed by tallgrass velvet rooster belgian style tripel

i dont have high expectations for either of these but they need to go, unfortunately they are also in 16oz cans so I probably wont have anything else interesting tonight

agreed, its real good

growler of old guardian

n1

why cant someone brew an ipa with that much hop punch but have it be less than double-digits in alcohol?

I may need to investigate this myself...

lol cuz a bomber just isnt enough? joe, i love you

they wouldnt let me get a growler of old rasputin nitro

most places dont allow growler fills from cask or nitro taps. the carbonation does clearly stay in solution and the beer would be flat before you even got home with it

i figured as much

technically if it is 100% nitro then it would clearly be carbonation as that indicates there is carbonic acid in solution

Been spending my ass on beer while back in Ohio, I think it is potentially detrimental to my health to move back LOL

There is no such thing as 100% nitro. All draft beer is dispersed with some percentage of co2.
Beer served on nitro is still a blend of nitro and co2. Its called "beer gas." The blends that look more rich and have the stereotypical "nitro look" like Guinness for example are still a 25% to 75% ratio.

By this time on monday I will be 3 hours into my brew day for my first commercially released beer.

There actually are some 100% nitro beers but it is very rare. Also yes I know about beer gas, generally it is used for draft systems with long runs.



WHAT?!

Can you give me an example of a beer that is 100% nitro?

It is my understanding that nitro cannot be put into solution under workable conditions. The tiny bubbles that compose a "nitro" beer are still from co2, its just delivered under a higher pressure rating and dispensed via nitro. I think a 100% nitro beer would be completely flat regardless of how it is dispensed without the presence of at least some co2.

Yes, im brewing a beer for commerical release on a professional system on monday. It is kind of "under the radar" and being released under the brewerys name for legal purposes.

they grow up so fast

don't forget your roots, bucko

collab #1 = this is a real interesting and good beer. i may try to go buy a few more of these.

too late
all gone

?

thanks for clarifying whatever you were pooping about and then afk 3 days

I was just being a smartass

i cant remember how many times I purchased a bottle of something, enjoyed it enough to want more and then experienced the regret of clearly buyin more when having the chance

i think belmont station had something like 4 cases on last sunday. i just got the one for me cuz donno.

Beers recently consumed that are worth mentioning:

Stone Ruination Double Dry Hopped on cask (a million times better than the normal version)
Stone Smoked porter on cask with chiptole peppers

Funky Buddha berliner weisse: raspberry, lime, passionfruit and peach

Evil Twin Biscotti break (this was a beer i had never heard of and had no expectations for, it blew me away. will need to find bottles of this.)

what

dont bother getting excited
its only a rusty homebrew with a nerd friendly label

afk genesee

i lol'd

but srsly wut

what is there to wat or wut about?

its homebrew and someone with creative/nerdy labels. you cant possibly believe there is a d3 beer on the market and if so, it just happens to be in a fridge with a bottle also nerdily named darth vader

you nubs cant be that gullible...

wax job looks legit brah

This is going to be ready sooner than expected. Pulled a sample from the fermenter and it smells like beef jerky mixed with hops. The taste is a combo of smoke and roast like coffee/bitter chocolate. The hops really only come out in the aftertaste. The beer is being cold conditioned and carbonated now. A week from today it will be kegged and ready to go public.

BTW, this beer needs a name so that it can be registered and served.
Suggestions?

made a octoberfest from the mr beer kit, been fermenting for 2 weeks, forgot about it in the garage. temps been fluctuating outside from 60-85 degrees during that time... lets see how it turned out lol

what kind of beer is it?

now you HAVE TO name it desolatecarnage. if the beer becomes popular, then desolatecarnage will clearly only run the internet...but the world.

Rusted Roast, Roasted Rust, something along those lines

A smoked black ipa

This wont work. It has to be relative to the beer itself and be somewhat descriptive of itself.
The owner is already imagining a label that would be rastas smoking a bag of hops instead of weed.

nope, see above

i believe using that described label with the name desolatecarnage would make the drink look and sound mysterious and intriguing. people would ask what is desolatecarnage? why is it named that? having a name that goes with the label is usually cheesy and boring and more difficult to pull off with a creative name.

hippie hops is the only other alternative
