My Pinot Noir Ale outside yesterday smoking ribs in the background.

awesome colour, did you mix pinot noir must or wine with it? or use wood soaked in wine?
It’s stupid simple. The fermentables are 2:1 Pinot juice to malt. Recipe being 1.5 gallons Pinot Noir juice, 3 lbs Pilsen dme boiled with hops for 10 ibus, fermented with wlp400. Took me a while to warm up to but I’ve really enjoyed it!

that sounds really good.
It’s an adult wine cooler, I’ll be brewing it again.

I should be clear I add the cooled wort to the juice in the fermenter. The 2:1 ratio is fermentable sugars.

I have a pound of azacca that I am struggling to get through, they are just too fruity for my tastes.

Maybe you should mix them with something spicy or floral instead of another fruity hop.

The beer looks good.

My recent porter. Drinks beautifully. I wasn’t a believer in this brew till I clarified. Now it’s so good, a favorite.

That looks good. I have a brown ale on tap that came out a bit more porter like than expected. It’s been great for this time of year.

Got a few meads bottled up for the holidays.  From left to right they are a traditional mead made with 100% Tupelo honey, Cherry mead made with Japanese Knotweed honey, and a Clover honey mead aged on juniper.

really nice, how does the juniper aged mead taste? ive really wanted to go heavy on juniper in something soon, and mead is a natural connection.

Surprisingly quite good.  That particular mead came out pretty sweet.  The FG was 1.040.  It was aged on 4 oz of needles and 2 oz of crushed berries (which had dried out by the time I got them) for 10 days.  Big juniper aroma.  Almost too much.  But the flavor starts with sweet clover mead and finishes with the juniper.  I did this one with a buddy and we were both happy with the result.  This was kind of just an experiment, but I'll definitely do it again at some point.

Thanks! I make a lower ABV Pale Ale version as well. Very simple Two Row, Rye, Crystal 60 and Amarillo hops. Rye malt and Amarillo hops are a match made in heaven.
