The beer thread

Carslberg and Tuborg are both Danish. Same company I believe now too which is why I am keeping my fingers crossed that Tuborg finds its way over here.

I grew up on Grolsch, one of my first regular beers and still at the top of my list!

I think even the Heineken tastes different in America vs Ireland.

Probably watered down here ;-)

For instance I hear drinking a Guinness in Ireland is vastly different than having one here in the USA

Cracked open a few of my homebrew Witbiers recently...turned out great

After sanitizing since I got off work and making a batch of Bavarian Hefe, this is by far my favourite style and obviously my favourite to make

This is with half the malt extract after I brought water to the boil.


When it came back to the boil I added hops.


Boy does my house smell heavenly =)
More pics to follow as it progresses!

And done, hopefully it ferments and tastes as good as the second to last batch I made!

Awesome let us know how it turns out.

i seem to rarely buy beer now. I have a wheat beer in primary right now and racking it tonight. going to add in fresh mango puree, let it sit for about a month, and then add some jalapenos to get a sweet/spicy flavor.

last beer i made was a cinnamon roll ale...kind of a brown ale base with cinnamon sticks and vanilla beans...turned out great. more of a holiday type beer instead of summer

otherwise i still have some of the imperial nut brow ale i bottled back in dec, and a belgian trippel from feb.

Have you used peppers in beer before ? I've made a couple of green chile beers, they where a bit too peppery for me. I've used jalapenos before but can only seem to get the peppery flavour and not the flavour of the fruit.

The gaff smelled great with this fermenting this morning.

looking good. i always like the aroma around the fermenter

i have never used peppers before, but have sampled some peoples attempts. some were nice like chili/lime beers. and some were like drinking lava cause they used habaneros or ghost peppers.

i am more so leaning towards splitting the batch. maybe 1 gallon with peppers (no veins or seeds) tasting every day or two until i get some peppery flavor. the rest will be without peppers for more of a summer time wheat.
