Weekend Brew Session

fucking awesome!
this beer is gonna be excellent!
it's thick, sweet, a nice hop balance, and right now the yeast is in full force fermenting it!

12 brew day = well worth it.

spent the entire fucking day drinking, watching horror flicks, listening to metal and eating pizza.

to all who were interested in tasting the outcome of this project....it won't be ready for a while, needs some serious aging...
but it will be worth the wait!

what kind of style ale is it?
(or is it not an ale..?)
 ______________________________________
[Sep 22,2008 2:01pm - orgymf@work  ""]
it is a unique style..
we anticipate 20 percent alcohol.
very dark. a good amount of sweetness from malts, maple syrup, and honey. nice hop flavor without too much hop bitterness.

we probably won't be able to carbonate very well, since high alcohol kills off yeast, and bubbles come from fresh yeast and sugar added when bottling.
 ______________________________________
[Sep 22,2008 2:50pm - orgymf@work  ""]
oh...and yeah, we used an ale yeast
 _____________________________________
[Sep 22,2008 3:54pm - ouchdrummer ""]
i think we can get good carbonation as long we add more sugar at bottling and a bit more yeast, AND keep it at some very controlled temps. I have faith big guy.

Brewing was a friekin blast. That "masters of horror" flick "cigarette burns" was awesome. Real creepy. Jennifer was real good too. And AS USAUL re-animator kicked ass. Your bud renub is close to the funniest person i think i have met in a long time.

Gotta say though, something i ate/drank did not do me well. I don't know if it was mixing all those beer types or what, but i after i yuked right into your poop puddle, i puked again after the train, then again at home. All the bloodvesseles around my eyes are still all popped making me look very crack headish. Which of course everyone i know at work is like "so what did you did this weekend *wink wink*?" and honestly, i wasn't even drunk. Just sick. But besides that i had a great time.

i dunno man....it's gonna be real hard to accomplish carbonation without risk "bottle bombs"
but i am willing to give it a shot dude!

glad ya had fun brewin and drinkin!
yeah, renob is a fuckin riot.

ya know, i had the shits, jayme had a headache and nausea, and you puked.

did aaron get sick at all?
if not, i'd say it's probably just mixing too many different types of beer, on top of eating such heavy food.

if he did...maybe it was that pizza joint.
they never made me sick before, anything is possible.

either way, sorry you got so sick bro, but i'm glad you had a good experience up until that happened.

we should definately bre again on october 4'th.
day after my next payday.
this time we'll drink alot of session beer, and take it easy on ourselves.

i'll buy some sam adams, anchor, sierra nevada.
stuff like that.

I had Sam Adams Triple Bock over the weekend. Brewed in '97.
Stuff has a very strong smell and it's almost like drinking syrup. It's 18% alcohol as well.
It was one of those beers that has different "layers" of taste when you have it in your mouth.
Ever try that stuff?
 ______________________________________
[Sep 22,2008 4:14pm - orgymf@work  ""]
triple bock....
i wasn't a fan.
it really destroys the palate.
it has this awful kind of soy sauce mixed with maple syrup flavor

what i do love is Sam Adams "Utopias"
the 2007 batch was 27 percent A.B.V.
tasty as fuck!

150 dollars
worth every penny!!!!!
 _______________________________
[Sep 22,2008 4:17pm - aril  ""]
you're right abuot that damned soy sauce / syrup taste.
YOU HAD UTOPIA! SHIT man, I've been wanting to try that for so long. They also released one called "Millenium," right? If I remember correctly, they only released one batch of it in 2000 and it's supposed to be one of the best beers ever.
 ______________________________________
[Sep 22,2008 4:29pm - orgymf@work  ""]
yeah....i never got to try Millenium.
which is too bad, because it will never exist again.

yeah, Utopias is the shit!

i tried a sample at the "Extreme beer fest" in February 07.
after that, i knew i needed a bottle.
i bought the bottle and drank most of it.
my buddy Scott paid me 25 bucks for a small sample.

fucking unbelievable

definately!!
i am a big fan of many S.A. brews
boston lager
black lager
irish red
double bock
scotch ale
and their xmas porter

are all great
 _______________________________
[Sep 22,2008 4:34pm - aril  ""]
i love the fezziwig ale. black lager is really good and underrated I think. seems like its getting more attention now.
damn, the scotch ale is great as well. I always get their winter mix pack during the cold months.

[Sep 22,2008 4:36pm - aril  ""]
hard to believe too that SA is now the largest american-owned brewery.

I can't wait for Sierra Nevada's Bigfoot Ale this year. That stuff is so good

yeah, i like most of the stuff in the winter mixer...
except the cranberry lambic, but that's easy to get rid of, since my girl is a big fan of it.

it is really strange that sam adams got as big as they did.

not big fan of Bigfoot....a lil too hoppy for me.

i'm more of a malt sweetness and/or high alcohol fan.

besides, high alpha acid can be dangerous, they say excessive hops can cause impotence.

Been drinking too many Belgian Beers lately. I want to see if I can get back into some english porters and mix it up again.

double bastard is definitely a worthy beer, and their russian imperial is the fucking shit.

[Sep 23,2008 11:30am - orgymf@work  ""]
oh yeah.... i do likes me some oak aged double bastard.

i almost forgot about their russian imperial.
there are soooo many good imperial stouts out there.
plus i have brewed a few.
so it's rare that i go back to any imperial stout more than once a year.

my favs are
oak aged -Yeti
Mephistopheles
Old Rasputin
and
that russian "espresso-and-vanilla imperial stout" that i can't spell or pronounce (Jim knows which one i mean)

The name is pennichuck. Not totally sure how to pronounce it either. The bottles are really distinctive, they are mostly all 1liter bottles. (.25 bigger than most) and have cool looking labels. Like this one-

now i know thats not the one that orgy mentioned, but its fucking good as hell too.
 _____________________________________
[Sep 23,2008 2:03pm - ouchdrummer ""]
So orgy introduced me to a new beer this weekend that was made with very interesting yeast.... no not a yeast infection you sick fucks, but yeast from a bottle that someone found on the bottom of the English channel from over a hundred years ago!! Seriously, isnt that crazy? They found the bottle, and somehow revived the yeast, cultuted it, and started using it to make beer with, it's called flag porter, check out their description:

Flag Porter is brewed from a traditional 19th century British recipe using yeast salvaged from a vessel which sank in the English Channel in 1825.

In 1988, several bottles of the brew were raised from their resting place 60 feet deep in the Channel. They were in their original containers, with their wood stoppers and wax seals intact. When opened, however, they "tasted like old, wet boots" according to Dr. Keith Thomas, renowned brewer and microbiologist.

When he examined the beer under a microscope, he found a small percentage of the yeast to be still living! After months of growing this yeast, he brewed a porter using an 1850 recipe.

[img]
it looks like that. It's great, i recommend trying it. Although it is a little unsettling drinking something made from yeast that old...

http://www.beertools.com/html/recipe.php?view=5703

recipe for the first batch i ever made.
this should be on our "to brew" list.
everyone who tried said it was not only a great beer, but hard to believe it wasn't made in a monastary by monks.
 ______________________________________
[Sep 25,2008 1:33pm - orgymf@work  ""]
so jim, the recipe i posted the link to (above) is definately on my "to brew" (again) list

i also have another idea.

breakfast stout

9 pounds of grain (3 - Marris Otter, 3 - Munich, 3 - Vienna)
along with two pounds of oatmeal, the put a pound of brown sugar and a pound of maple syrup in the boil, then cool it down with cold brewed coffee
 ______________________________________
[Sep 25,2008 1:34pm - orgymf@work  ""]
oh!! and we can add some irish breakfast tea with the flavoring hops!!

just had this last night, it poured 3 full glasses, after about 5 layers of flavor it leaves a nice "i just made out with a dead oak tree" taste. it was great. and it doesn't try to hide the alcohol either.

but i've had a lot of beers, and if i had to pick a favorite, never fails me on tap or bottle:

thanks bro.

i've actually been brewing for a few years, and my methods keep improving.

i actually found the best way to sanitize bottles for high alcohol beers.
put half a shot of everclear (or a full shot of vodka) in each bottle.... swish it around and make sure every inch is touched by the alcohol....
leave it in there....it spikes the alcohol content just a little bit, kills all germs, and if there is too much alcohol heat for your palate, just age it away (six months to a year should do the trick)

this is really good for anything over ten percent alcohol (just make sure you add fresh yeast if ya want it to carbonate).

for everything else...i am a firm believer that one-step is the ultimate sanitzer....iodophor is ok....bleach and chlorine work well, but are a pain in the ass to get rid of and can have serious negative effects on the taste of the beer (even if you get rid of all the poisonous chemicals)

but still, thanks for the encouragement.....and if you ever want people to brew with, i'm always looking for new people to join our little brewing circle.

ya i ve never done it with alchohol but i know what ever you use must not be done half-assed, had one batch that didnt seem right and probably had something to do with the sanitizing. or the fact that i put the ferment lock on too early and it blew beer all over the ceiling haha. I havent done it in a while and i moved out of the house that had a sick basement that always stayed around 68 which was sweet. there will be some in the future though.... winter is the best time to do it for sure. keep me posted on your creations upcoming.

my friend greg has been doing his own brewing for the past 2 years...he made a delicious Wit last spring and an absolutely amazing doppelbock just a few weeks ago. i really want to learn more from him. he even grows his own hops!

as for russian imperials i second old rasputin and the pennichuck you were trying to think of is Pozharnik. i had that at the publick house and shit myself over it's tastyness. chocolatey, not too filling, and gets better with warmth.

also, just had this at my beer club last weekend:

[img]

it was a little too smoky/woody for my liking (it was oak aged) but recommended if you can find it.

oh and the triple bock is absolutely disgusting. never EVER drink that shit, please.

DEFINATELY LEARN ALL YOU CAN....HOMEBREWING FUN AS FUCK!!!
homegrown hops are a beautiful thing, my friend marcus gave me a whole shitload of them, we used them in the batch me and Jim (oucdrummer) made two weeks ago, and i cannot wait until this monster is ready!! -l-

that Pozharnik is one of the tastiest things on the planet, just amazing!!

i will keep my eyes open for "Dragons Milk" sounds interesting.

oh i know the Triple Bock is awful.....but, never turn down a Double Bock (or Dopplebock).......i've never had one i didn't like

i made more beer this weekend....very dark, malty, hoppy, should be roughly 4 gallons of 8 percent A.B.V. brew.

the recipe was Brown ale-ish
but it came out much darker than your average dark ale.

it's fermenting very nicely right now.
should be in bottles about two weeks from now, and fully carbonated not long after

well, we definitely won't miss the next one. You have my solemn metal head promise on this bro. I now have my community service schedule poster on my office wall. It's discretely marked as "practicing with side project schedule" so that my office doesn't know I am a villain.

P.s. I don't know how many calls were from you, but i missed like 45 calls this weekend from about a dozen people. Brutal.
