beer Being Crafty

The Berliner I brewed last Thursday is now sufficiently kettle soured. I've brought it up to a nice boil, and my house now smells like super sweet sauerkraut. It's actually a pretty nice aroma. I will whirpool a half ounce of galaxy, then pitch the Sacc. I'm hitting it with a massive amount of guava pulp in secondary.

I group sour/tart beer with lamb and venison ...

Someday I'll explore ... maybe.

How do you feel about Chinook hops? 

 
I had a Chinook single hop beer from OH and was surprised how much I liked it.

Yeah but how would you describe it without scoogling?

Oh so they're floral? Trying to figure out what hops I'm tasting in this beer. Hard to pin point some of the flavors 

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Yeah but how would you describe it without scoogling?

 
Better to taste. Describing hops can get pretty off the wall. "A hint of banana and skunk..." lolll

 

[The Hot Pepper]

I would describe but I would need a beer in front of me...

 

[Grass Snake]

 "banana and skunk"  that sounds legit haha

 

[t0mato]

They're like a smoothed out version of cascade and centennial. There's a very pleasant piney/spicy flavor and aroma to them....at least I think so. I think they're very underutilized too.

Oh my sweet lord this is one epic beer. I'm getting big bad baptista flashbacks. This one is a little better.

Tons going on here. It has an epic Sump-like mouthfeel, coffee and chocolate flavors, sweet/spicy/cinnamon like flavors, a little bit of refined booze, and a slight tingle on the tongue from the chiles. The beer coats my entire mouth and teeth. There might be a little too much going on.

Wow.

 

[The Hot Pepper]

Sump?

 

[t0mato]

Sump?

Sump is another exceptional stout that is also made by perennial.

I just tried the Eetah IPA in 3 different glasses, a pint glass, sifter, and stemless wine glass. I found the stemless wine glass to brings out the citra hops more than the other two...
