Go to Loretto KY and dip him a bottle of Maker’s Mark. Put his name on the label and thank me later. Cheers!

Hey, sorry for my interruption. I just need your help. I have been looking for a perfect gift for my father who is a hardcore traveler and a Liquor Drinker. I can guess that you guys can help me. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Big brew day tomorrow - imperial red ale first, then house IPA afterward.  should put a small dent in the hop and malt inventory.

I'll be brewing tomorrow as well, today is cleaning kegs and organizing (off work this week).  Munich Dunkel and Märzen.

Ok, brewed the extract Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout 3 days ago.  Was told I'd have very active fermentation - but hasn't happened yet.  Normally I see activity after 1-2 days.   Q: am I impatient?  Should I add another packet of yeast?

Thx

What was the OG? How much yeast did you use? What strain and at what temp?

Take off the lid and take a look.

I did a strong brown lager that had no airlock activity throughout fermentation which is the first time that has happened to me. Not sure how there was a leak but it fermented normal. I peeked a few times and a hydrometer reading proved everything was fine.
On Tap/Bottled: IPL, Adjunct Vienna, Golden Stout, Honey Lager
Fermenting: IPA
Up Next: mexi lager, Germerican pale ale

I'll be brewing my Celebration rip off
Some day we'll look back on this and it will all seem funny

I'm sure its going to be better than this years - I can't recall a time I've ever been disappointed in SNCA - but this time its a let down.

Agreed. It just seemed a bit "ho-hum" this year.

I felt the same way last year and I bought it on the day it hit the shelves here (I was in the minority in this opinion last year)- for the first time ever. Hearing this posted again, I doubt I'll buy any.

hopefully the $7 a pop I spent on a couple bombers of Estate at lunch today don't have the same outcome.  doubt it though - SN historically has been one of the most consistent;  just makes me wonder if the hop crops themselves, in terms of quality for Cascade and Centennial, are subpar in recent years.

I wonder the same. SN makes some great beers with other hop varieties. I know Centennial is pretty temperamental.  On that note, I posted part of Stan H's recent hop e-newsletter recently where he said that Centennial is being cross bred to improve its consistency and viability.  IIRC he called it Super Centennial. That could be a good thing.

An old guy and a man with a hat talked to YCH, he said this year's crop is supposed to be really great. A great interview.

I'm excited the BA is finding more USDA hop research.

I'm possibly bring a Kölsch this weekend, any yeast or recipe recommendations?

This makes a pretty solid beer:

WLP029 or WY2565 - hold around 58F.  2565 has a little more character, but is pretty slow (even hard) to clear. 029 clears out much quicker IME.

1.048 OG
1.010-1.009ish FG
IBU 20ish HM - 60 mins. Sometimes I add a small late addition, sometimes not. Good either way.

85% Barke Pils
15% Vienna

happy to say, the same malady did not befall the Estate ale - I really enjoyed that last night while I was grilling up some salmon.
