What are you drinking now?

[orionol73]

HB not so Sour IPA

 

[TwistedGray]

That...is the darkest "Quad" i have ever seen. I don't believe its a quad by any means. Who made this and called it a quad? Wrong color, wrong clarity, wrong head color...I am just confused by it being called a Quad

Sounds like you're about to learn the HBT abbreviation HB

 

[TwistedGray]

Squat day today (all the big uns stacked out of the way then all the small ones on the right were moved and stacked - more splitting once the stumps are ground away)

Waiting for the site to come back online and drinking. Cream Ale and then a Galaxy/Citra IPA

 

[MrPowers]

Spring wheat with black lime and lavender, classic style pale ale with centennial, and NE IIPA with columbus/Vic secret.

 

[hopkincr]

Black lime? Looks awesome.

 

[MrPowers]

Black lime? Looks awesome.

Thanks!

Yes, also referred to as black lemon. (note, i used homemade black lime) Black Lemon : World Spice Merchants : Seattle's Premier Spice, Herb & Tea Shop

This has a little heat from pepper.

What I was drinking last night when the site was down.
HB Irish Red

 

[Immocles]

Clearance shelf find.

 

[grampamark]

Keg kicked. Last of the HB Blonde Ale

 

[camonick]

And tonight while trying to get used to the new forum look/ features...
HB chocolate hazelnut porter. Last bottle of this and I’m not upset about it. Won’t be making this particular recipe/ ingredients again.

That happened faster than I thought.

Yeah. I forgot it was only a 4 gallon batch.

Local pis and 16%er that goes down like butter

while traveling to Sagittarius-A. The whole reason I bought this game in 2015.

 

[grampamark]

HB Brown Ale

lo

 

[Dave Sarber]

Let the games begin! Still feeling my way around the new forum.

 

[Immocles]

HB blonde. Is it weird to like the bottled portion better than the force carbed? Or just in my imagination?

HB Kolsch

 

[pshankstar]

Drank some, saved some and hopeful I can get some of the yeast active to brew the same beer this weekend but with my own personal twist. If not I have some dried yeast that will do. Following the directions @j1laskey shared with me a while ago. I’m so happy I do canned starter wort to make this process easier.

 

[aharri1]

some more good stuff from tavour. Helles was good IPA was excellent!

 

[user 263363]

While deciding what to brew in the morning. A Centennial Pale Ale is the answer.

 

[TwistedGray]

Water from yesterday.
We are now at Day 28 without alcohol. I am also on Day 12 without dairy (step 1 of my six elimination diet).

I've been experimenting and get sucked in easily by shiny hops. But I really do think I my next brewing order is going to have a boatload of centennial in it. It seems boring, but it really is my favorite.

 

[Immocles]

Boil on.

 

[davidabcd]

That...is the darkest "Quad" i have ever seen. I don't believe its a quad by any means. Who made this and called it a quad? Wrong color, wrong clarity, wrong head color...I am just confused by it being called a Quad

I guess you could check out St. Bernardus Abt 12?

 

[Dave Sarber]

Have to agree with @davidabcd. Just happened to have a St. Bernardus tucked away. The head is a little lighter, but the beer is just as dark. Depends on how much D180 you use, and the intensity of your boil. Commercial St. Bernardus = SRM 37.

 

[ajbosley2015]

I guess first I will say that I didn't mean any harm in my comment, and I missed "HB" in the post...I will say this though, the brew in question is much darker than 37, and is certainly much less clear...but that is just in my defense. Similarly, neither of these really qualifies as a quad/belgian dark strong based on color requirements. If its a clone, well done, I will allow it. I am one of those purists and for St. Bernarbus to call this a quad is really stretching the style characteristics quite liberally. For the maker of this clone to say its a quad...well that is a different story if they were shooting for a recipe that isn't actually a quad!

No offense made. I recently had a Unibroue Terible...deemed a quad and also way out of style requirements...

I have been searching for a quad that is true to style to compare mine to it and nearly every commercial example I can come up with would fail miserably at a competition. It's a very difficult task, that's for sure. I'll attach mine that I am trying to compare to those that are true to style and you will see where I am coming from (and before you say anything...I know it should never be in a pint glass, but I was at my brother's house and he didn't have a tulip)

 

[TBC]

Solid beer from @fourfarthing

 

[Dave Sarber]

It all depends on your ingredients and process. This is one of my St. Bernardus clone attempts, nice color, but way over attenuated, FG was 0.992. Tasted like cognac.

[ajbosley2015]

See, your color is spot on for a quad...St Bernarbus definitely isn't...tasting like cognac though...I will certainly appreciate it. Almost makes me want to try another one but with French Elixir

 

[user 263363]

Burial’s All Together. I’m not huge on the haze craze, but this is a very good beer.
