I'd love to know what people are planning to drink this coming weekend! I've got a Stone Enjoy by 7.04 waiting for the day of, as well as some Creature Comforts Tropicalia and Burnt Hickory Wendell Gee. I'm loving the new beer laws in GA. I can finally take home my favorite beer straight from the source!
I've been homebrewing for a few years now. I've been doing meads for a bit longer, and have one approaching bottling time in the next week. I just got the parts for a cooler mashing tun conversion which I need to assemble, but I need a slightly longer version of one of the stainless threaded pipes. Once I have that I'm gonna do a brew. A tripple maybe? It's been waaaay too long since I've started a new beer.
I haven't tried meads yet, in fact, I've never even tasted a mead! Once you brew an all grain beer with your mash tun, you will never go back to partial. Of course, then it really becomes an all-day event which means a whole day of drinking beer! Cheers! Hopefully you will keep us updated on your triple!
I'm having a case of severe jealousy right now. If you are ever interested in trading, Creature Comforts tropicalia is one of the best IPAs I've ever had and I'd love to try some beers from Michigan that I can't get down here!
I was homebrewing with friends in college. Now I'm going to have to get new equipment and do it by myself if I'm going to continue with this. We've made some pretty good beers, our pumpkin porter recipe is my favorite but our hefe is pretty good. Definitely a craft beer enthusiasts, it's to the point where the majority of my beer money is spent at local microbreweries and I haven't been buying as much at stores lately.
A pumpkin porter sounds so delicious! I've not had much luck with porters, they usually either turn out to watery or too roasty? Not sure if that last one is a word... In GA, they just changed the law so we can purchase beer in the breweries now (a limit of only 72 oz) but at least it's a start! So naturally, I've already gone through my beer money for the month.
