so far a bottle of vitus, double hop head, friends homdbrewed coffee porter and his amber ale. I think thats a night. Vitus by the way is one badass beer. if you enjoy wheat beers this is a must. Reminds me of hopfen weisse without the hopfen.

I had a little from a bottle today. It was fantastic. I agree on the agressive bitterness, but I though it was close to very dark chocolate and coffee rinds. the flavour was not overly bitter at all. this was also at 10am on no food or coffee. I think the caks didnt due this great brew justice. Awes...

Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye IPA How is this drinking? Based on the name, style, and the fact that I love nearly all of SN's beers, I'll probably be hunting it down on my next U.S. trip.[/quote] It has been excellent. Rye dominates the palate with loads of fresh cirtus hops right after. Reminds me of...

Picked up one of each yesterday while in toronto. right now I am enjoying the black ipa. nice beer, but there is definetly a metallic note in my bottle. hopefuly it is just this one. I have a few more to go through.

I was just wondering about different peoples procedures for getting it ready. no need to be a dick about it. Sorry, I didn't know what you meant by suggestion, my response was intended as a leading question, no dickish intentions at all. I just throw my oak cubes directly into the keg/secondary for...

solid list. times likes this I hate being a student.

I might try and age half of this batch on oak with some bourbon. Anyone have experience doing this? suggestions appreciated. -buy oak -boil the oak (10 min) -put oak in a sealable container (mason jar, tupperware) -cover oak in bourbon -seal container -place container in your fridge for ~ 1 month -...

today while brewing i had a few homebrew and 2 bottles of sierra nevada ruthless rye pale ale. Very nice beer. Good amount of rye flavour very dry and spicy.

This brings a smile to my face. I always used to have a bomber of this in the fridge. I have been drinking a fair bit of the steam beer lately.
