Always fun to try. Let us know what it's like. If it's too hrsh or burning to drink neat (straight) try a couple drops of water at a time and taste it to see how it changes. Depending what it is, you can always mix it with Coke, 7 up, or Sprite.
It's good straight doesn't burn going down at all and it has a great smell and a dry after taste I think. and a little burn on the tongue after.
I'll bring some at Mopars in the park. I got a lot to learn Mike and still looking forward to your orange shanty.
I need to try that Shandy. Last time I tried it ti didn't taste that good. May be this weekend for some samples.
Was gonna make a batch of beer but my last batch was way to fuzzy and I kinda got frustrated.
Try again. Sometimes it doesn't turn out good.
I will and should soon.
Damn you fit right in so that makes 3 of us with bad behavior. lol
Cheers and TGIF.
Cheers my friend.

FedEx just dropped of our next homebrew a few mins ago. It's a Pliny the Elder kit. 14.5 lbs of grain, 1lb of sugar, and 14 ounces of hops for a 5 gallon batch. I guess I know what I'm doing next weekend.
I know it's a difficult beer to get your hands on, but if you ever have a chance, give it a shot. It's a great double IPA.

Sounds good would like to try it. I'm still new at brewing but will learn I hope.
Looks like a fun one. Keep us posted. I haven't done a IPA yet. Not a huge fan but a homebrew might be a different thing.
Got to like the partial mash batches. More complex and fun to do.

I will for sure! We'd be brewing it this weekend, but I like doing a yeast starter for anything over 6-ish abv. Next weekend it is!
I'm still getting everything from Mr Beer the guys there are great and my cousin just sent me a bunch of books on home brewing that I need to read.
I get a lot from them. From Northern Brewer as well. They are from the Twin Cities I believe. Ramie get's kits there. He cheats, he just drives over. LMAO
Wife and I used to make wine, we made 3 or 4 batches at a time, always let them sit for a couple of months before bottling, but since we moved it has lost it's appeal. We used to get friends involved, have taste nights, and of course bottling parties, but the friends are back in Winnipeg, so the fun part is significantly reduced. Last batch didn't even make it out of the carboy, siphoned off a bottle at a time.
I'll check Northern brewers out thanks.
You moved a long way away from Winnipeg that's like me and my friends and family in Washington. I like it here just fine though.

Look into MoreBeer.com too. They have killer deals at times. Not sure if they have a warehouse in your neck of the woods though.
I think I have bought a kit or two from them as well.
No way in hell I would ever move back, I do miss some of the friends, and I know my wife does too, but I have never regretted moving.
