Commercial Beer Reviews / Re: Sam Adams Noble Pils
« on: January 28, 2010, 11:50:51 AM »Also wondering if anyone knows which hop is giving the slight citrus/tropical fruit notes that I'm picking up. Wasn't aware of a noble hop giving this flavor?
Could be yeast giving those notes. I have yet to try this beer....but if I see it I'll give it a go. Thanx for the mention

Even beer, BUT it is worthy of honorable mention because when
you find something good you might wanna tell people about it
and share the goodness...
Well, I got a bottle of Meukow VS Black Cognac....and I gotta say
This stuff is NICE.
http://www.meukowcognac.com/
Aroma of vanilla and nice oily ring around the periphery of the snifter...
taste of Oak notes smooth on the palate warm alcohol glow...
just really NICE....wish I could afford the Napoleon

Hey Wes,
Why not just go over to New Belgium and smooze some employees...

Take a brewery tour and ask em...what is in those sacks etc?

hmmmm....I see how that comes into play Denny. I got my grain mill and set the gap
using the credit card method, and never looked back. I got a nice crush that looked
real similar to photos that were put up at NB.
I have fairly consistantly hit the numbers. Once I Got dialed in on the water additions
and a copy of John PLC tech's, Mashwater software, it just came together nicely.
I guess in my mind, the water is the Key to hitting the OG and I overlooked the crush
variable. Just plain took it for granted.

beersk,
Now you've gone and done it. I been brewing since 06, and never calculated
efficiency yet. I'll take your word for the 70-80%...and never look back.
I guess it's kind of nice to know ....BUT, I am just a lowly homebrewer
that tries to brew the best beer I can with the best quality ingredients I can obtain.
I feel I would not need to know efficiency stuff unless I was trying to stay
within a budget or brew for profit.....bean counter stuff turns me off....
But thanks for askin...lol
I put it up over at NB there is a following of my hydro shots...
and yesterday I just had one of those photo ops...

Well she is by the numbers spot on....maybe a little dark but I can handle it...
Got to get her down to lager pitch temps and put it on that nice FRESH pils yeastcake
that is just waiting and ready (racked the pils to a keg today).
