I’m going to do this until I fly out to Disney in mid June. I’m losing 5-7 a week then gaining 2-3 back on the weekend. Should get me another 10. Could be more but will be harder the last few weeks to lose much. I’m down 14 as of this morning in the 3 weeks. At Little league last night, I coach...

Heating up mash water. Milling Barke Pilsner. This is my 5 years of brewing beer. Batch 134. Nothing special about the beer though, it’s my typical Helles.

He grows his own and has them tested, right Tim?

I’m brewing Saturday finally. Helles time.

This is week 3 of dieting. Low carb and no beer on weekdays.Im enjoying the pictures haha

My spunding valves use those and my picnic tap 2.0

Welcome to the forum!

in better light it’s browner but not a lot browner I used 2 ounces of Carafa special II right before I pulled the bag out. I did a triple decoction on this one which gave me a little touch of color too

If you are using 34/70; once you get over 50% let it warmup. Not fast but don’t freak out. Keep it under 70 F. If you have plenty when you start and the first part of your fermentation is good it will be fine. Not going to taste the same as a lager that had time to lager and won’t be as clear...

It turned out well

I have these and love them. I pour off a corny. I gave 4 of these taps.

last of the night some of my stout

first pour of my not quite cleared yet Pilsner. It’s tasty. This will be a great spring beer. Inside WLP 860 dry yeast. Which is the Augustiner strain, reputedly. So this beer isn’t as bitter as it would be with 34/70.

It was super flavorful when I last had it. BUT that was probably pre-covid. It WAS in my top 5 beers. But been so long and since I started brewing German beers got more attention from me

Holschuh Biergarten

Night of small pours for me. Up first Dunkel

I’ve had hobgoblin Ruby ale before and loved it. Not seen in a while. I doubt it’s the same as a domestic one for you. The one is had was not bland.

Won 10-9. Came back down 2 going into the last inning.

21 years in HS athletics. Much easier to coach the older ones. Should be a fun day though. Small town really does it up. Last night we had a parade through town with all the teams and led by fire trucks and police cars.
