My beer was New Glarus Hop Hearty IPA. Anyone who has tasted that glorious, piney, herbal, citrusy, and discontinued brew understands.

I tapped the keg ~3 weeks before. I really do think that it is just the top fuel effect. This ale did not clear after 3 days cold crashing to 33*F and has a permanent chill haze. Lighter alcohols and lighter proteins in the top methinks. I'm just hedging my bets on the bottle conditioned...

I think was sober when I floated the keg, however unlikely the convergence. Truly a pint apart.

It was a 1.075 - 1.013 (8.3 % v/v) IIPA brewed October 28, 2010. Top Fuel I guess. Gives new literal meaning to "...there's no pint better than the last pint."

that is some serious smoke in those pictures... I smoke jerky at 150 degrees for 8 - 12 hours [very cool coal bed] with chips resting on the coal bed on a pizza pan. this produces a mild smoke, much lighter in density than what is in the pictures. this works great and imparts a gentle smoke...

airborne guy, hes talking about smoking his specialty grain steep water while boiling [1.5 gallons] with hops and then adding it to boiled ebxtract + water, and topping up like any other partial boil extract method.

Screw it, do it! There is no reason not to try. I know it's possible to boil water over coals. I keep a pizza oven [roughly the shape of a webber grill top... with a chimney to let out smoke, which lets out heat] at 550 degrees all day long with a modest [about what you'd burn for a 4 person...

I love Welcome to the Machine. Used to have dreams about the machine as a kid. I was in the machine... on a conveyor... being transported through a series of mechanized tunnels. Kinda funny how a kid's mind can be so perceptive without understanding what it is he/she is experiencing.
