Way past time for me to brew again. Just drank the last of my Irish Blonde keg. Many tears and gnashing of teeth.

I have a keezer so I’ve considered another lager. I’ve only done one and it had so much diacytl that it tasted like movie popcorn. Nasty. I was able to clean it up by getting another yeast culture going, raising the temp of the beer, pitch, and let the little yeast-beasties do their clean-up work. It helped a lot, but I didn’t share that beer with friends.

I have been trying my best to keep some homebrews ready to drink. But missed my schedule this week. Hate it when I run out of the tasties!

“It helped a lot, but I didn’t share that beer with friends.”

Yup, sometimes “I make the beer I drink” turns into “I drink the beer I make.” - we've all been there.
