Wife loves PR. She's jelly of your pictures. San Juan side?
East of.
Looks like a balanced diet, there, Remmy. Iā€™ll trade ā€œ3 squaresā€ for three ā€œround onesā€ any day on Island Time. šŸŒ“
I have plenty of Treehouse here, if anyone is interested. Just smashed 4 Medallas.
 
Congrats!šŸ»
Here, hold my beer.

SWMBOā€™d and I have #53 coming up shortly. I thought she had better judgement, but I guess it only underscores how we all marry ā€˜aboveā€™ our station in life.

Congratulations šŸŽŠ, and best hopes for many more with the one with whom you share a loving devotion.

Hotel beer in Minnesota. And Iā€™m watching HR required harassment training while I have nothing better to do at my hotel. Fun times.

I thought Iā€™d edit: the training is annually required for all employees. Nothing to do with me. Wasnā€™t sure if I gave the wrong impression based on some of the responses. šŸ¤£

A final glass of Panther Piss.

Use more S-189. It's an amazing strain on the second pitch that is clean, crisp, and really accentuates the corn on a CAP. Plus, it drops like no other lager yeast. It's a great strain, criminally underappreciated.

You guys should be using more S-189 instead of chasing the Mexican lager yeast fad.

I have 10g conditioning right now. Agree 100%
 
You sure? I just recently bought a stainless steel utility sink from them and it shipped to my house. I'm nobody's business. ;)
Okay, I havenā€™t ordered from them in a while, but thatā€™s the way it was. Iā€™m sure. Hubby and I will be closing an office later this year. Depending on what the climate is we may move or transition to a virtual office model and I said I was going to do another order before we do that.

Yesterdayā€™s cold brew while driving home and an imperial stout, saison and tastes at a HBC meeting last night.
 
Lunch beer a couple hours ago. HB Amber Ale with a takeout Reuben.

One of our favorite, funky, hole-in-the-wall restaurants is closing this Friday. We figured weā€™d better get one last lunch there. Us and a few hundred of our closest friends. šŸ˜Ž There was a steady stream of folks going in and out while we waited for our order and all six (count ā€˜em-six!) tables were full.
 
Wishing I could find a commercial gose around here.
You are right. I just called "Standard Beer" bottle shop and talked with the proprietor at length about Gose. He didn't have any, nor knew of anything local, but might have a out of state draft arriving soon if you want to touch bases. He did mention it might be a heavily fruited sour though. Sounds like a homebrew only project...

Thinking of @camonick

You really nailed the color on this one, no easy feat.

My hat's off to you, sir!
It's the Raging Irish Red recipe on this site from @Mysticmead. Always turns out that color for me. It's a good recipe but it doesn't have the slight roastiness that I prefer. It's very malty instead, but I do really like it though, as does everyone I serve it to.

It's a style that, frankly, intimidates me. There's no margin for error anywhere in your recipe or brewhouse performance. It's a rabbit hole that I don't want to fall into.

Like you, I enjoy the suggestion of roastiness. If I ever get brave/lose my marbles and take a serious stab at it, I'm thinking roast malt, not roast barley? That said, I've never gotten the "harsh/acrid/ashtray" thing that people use to slag off roast malt.

You dunked on that one. Last week's picture was even better.
 
Had a glass of Panther Piss IV earlier tonight.

And a glass of my unintentionally juicy APA.

The Giants are on the East Coast, so I'm getting to watch them live for a change with a glass of that nameless lager I made. With this improved offense, I should switch to antifreeze.

Dad was a huge BB fan. He sent me a picture of the back of Madison's jersey all those years ago. Rarity to see one's surname, spelled the same no less, in such a prestigious position and the favorite team no less! He was a joy to watch. šŸ»

Thanks man, I really appreciate it. I'm my own worst critic, always trying to find fault with my beers.

Give this recipe a try and see what you think. I call it the Irish Red Ale for people who don't like red ales. It's so easy drinking. :D
