:D okay, so it's not 100% current.

in fairness, we just finalized the trade on Friday.

 
Had three FBG homebrews last night

coldchills - What the Puck ESB - He said it was so-so when he sent it. Found it very high in esters from perhaps too high a fermentation temperature for the yeast? No noticable hop aroma or flavor got through.

coldchills - gravitation apple ale - Nuke had some of this and we sort of came the same conclusion that the harshness in apple flavor didn't come through. When I did one at the same time my apple flavor was WAY too strong. Maybe mix our two batches together and we'd have something good. Still very drinkable as a mild lawnmower type beer.

Schmenga's Stout - Extremely dry stout. Lots of roasted malt flavor and some coffee getting through. Thought it was fantastic. I'm not sure that it would quite pass off as a stout for homebrew competitons due to it being somewhat thin for the style, but a great all around effort. The hops were in there but took a lot of warming up to really seek them out finally. Solid effort. :shrug:

Thanks guys.

Leaving coldchill's DIPA in my cellar for awhile.

Glad you liked it. Believe it or not, that recipe has won two awards in the local stout contest, which is no small feat. I won vox populi one year and the following year the judges awarded it with a blue ribbon. Of course, both of those entries were fresh. The one you got was 1-2 years old. Not sure if that makes much of a difference, though. It is certainly a room temp brew, which you recognized. I never chill them, but I'm sure DHL didn't do much to protect it from the wonderful midwest cold snap.I've only recently become a fan of the imperial stout style, so I may be working on one of those sometime in the next year.

You got a recipie? The only real knock is the mouthfeel IMO.
 
do you homebrew guys even buy beer anymore? or are you just knocking out your 5 gallons of beer and then brewing more?
I haven't bought beer in 3 months for my own consumption at home. Only beer I have picked up are for trades and things.
been wanting to do this but have a huge backlog of beer right now and just can't justify brewing 2 cases that i won't touch for a year.how quick is the turnaround?meaning.. do you brew one beer and then have only that for a month? or do you have enough equipment/space to do multiples?

You can stagger them pretty well. The limiting factor is bottles and your patience to undergo the bottling process which is a PITA. If you keg then it's easy. In a dream world I'd have a fridge with 3 pony kegs tapped at all times and just cycle out the oldest one as it got low.If you had 4 cases worth of bottles or some other holding tank system (party pig, TAD, etc), two secondary fermenters, then you could theoretically Batch 1 = "small beer" Batch 2 = "Big Beer" Batch 3 = "Huge beer" Batch 4 = "small beer"Week 0 - Brew Batch 1Week 1 - Rack Batch 1 Brew Batch 2Week 2 - Rack Batch 2Week 3 - Keg or Bottle Batch 1, Brew Batch 3Week 4 - IdleWeek 5 - Keg or bottle batch 2, rack Batch 3Week 6 - Idle (Batch 1 in bottles ready to drink)Week 7 - Brew Batch 4Week 8 - Rack Batch 4Week 9 - (Batch 2 ready to drink, but young)Week 10 - Bottle or keg batch 3 and batch 4week 13 - Batch 4 readyweek 16 - Batch 3 readyWeek 17 - Start overThis would likely serve about 10L per week or more. Of course you could lag your start time for the next set as needed.
