Well, it's better with the dry hops though not great. I'm mixing it 50/50 with california common that I have on tap and using it up that way.
Ah, the beer palette...... In my case four taps, four very different beers. You can mix and match and stretch one that's running low, or hide a minor imperfection like yours. There are no rules...... it's a medium for expression, another level of creativity.....know what I mean?
Hic......
OK, I had a few beers. But, here's my excuse. WARNING: THREAD DRIFT.
We have an upstairs and a downstairs heat pump. The upstairs air handler is in the unfinished attic. It is right now, 160º up there. For a few years now I have been listening to the electric motor that drives the squirrel fan in the air handler.....it's been getting louder, and louder.....it got to the point where I knew.... it was time.
But, I was hoping to stretch it to fall, it being 160º up there...... No such luck. Last friday it went WHEEEEEE WDRHHHHHHH WHOAEEEEEEEEE....... as in serious bearing failure.
So, I shut her down, pulled the motor, gave it to my wife to drop off at the motor repair place......and went to Amsterdam.....
Anyway, I came back and the news was bad. Bearings shot.....spindle shot. Parts not available. New motor......$180. OK, go ahead. Today it came in, and I spent an hour up there sweating my balls off getting it in.....finding out it was turning the wrong way, pulling it, reversing the mount, putting it in again and finally........success. It's cooling down up there..... We may not have to sleep on the air mattress in the family room tonight......
So, my reward was a "session".
