I certainly didn’t mean to imply a certain style can only be brewed or consumed at certain times of the year, I was simply pointing out that the beer was “just in time for Oktoberfest” was a bit late based on the date the statement was made.

No problem!  This was my first lager, and I wanted to be able to say that I brewed it in March, did a decoction, a diacetyl rest, lagered over six months, and tapped at Oktoberfest time (actually on September 14).  I’ll probably do it again next year, and will most likely do a Festbier too. 

I’ve got a honey nut brown ale in the fermenter, and am getting ready to do a Winter Warmer Porter next.  This past Saturday our brew club, Illiana Beer Rackers Union (IBRU), filled a used bourbon barrel with the Black is Beautiful recipe brewed by myself and several members.    Hope to serve some of it next year at the Crown BeerFest.  Cheers!

Sunday afternoon I braised some boudin in doppelbock with onions and rosemary to pair with brie and crackers as I compared/contrasted my Dubbel with Chimay Red. Truly inspiring lunch! My dubbel made wlp400 is a very different beast but held up well as a dubbel by any measure.

nice, which ones the homebrewed version? left glass?

i made a sugar water wine with a small amount of crystal malt and it is too sweet (1.025FG) to be drinkable but is a great cooking wine. 12%ABV, one dollar a 750ml bottle, uncarbonated. no wasted beer bottles. its the only thing i cook with now

The one on right is the homebrew.

Today in the basement with football, an APA that is crisply finished with Ultra and Glacier.  Two hops you just don't hear much about anymore.

What not a lager? Looks great. Looks a lot like BrewBama’s grain bill, which I just kicked a keg of.  Delicious.

Grain bill here was pale ale malt, wheat, some C40 and also some Copper Malt.  I admit that I am liking this Copper malt in small amounts in almost any beer.  There is a nice depth of flavor and I feel like it really helps with some head formation and stability.  I used a bit in a Czech Pils recently.  Sue me!  :D

I make a lot of lagers in the spring and summer.  This was only the third ale I have made in 2020.  There's another one in my on-deck fridge and another one fermenting now.  Cheers.
