Just tapped at Sheffield's last night......
Thomas Sykes Old Ale from Burton Bridge Brewery, Burton-on-Trent, a 10% ale
brewed with Pipkin Pale Malt and Target hops. It's a pin so it won't last
long.
Also I will be at Sam's Marcy St tomorrow 12-4PM with some Christmas
libations to taste......
De Dolle Stille Nacht
N'ice Chouffe (10% Belgian barley wine)
Ale Mary (RCH)- bottle-conditioned beer of the year at GBBF this year, a 6%
bitter spiced (subtly) with ginger and pimento as well as coriander,
cinnamon, nutmeg, clove. It's superb, definitely one of my favourite beers of
all time.
Harvey's Christmas 2001- an 8% strong "stock" ale that is dry-hopped .

"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a
species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of
reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation,
and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law
strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was
founded." -- Abraham Lincoln, December 18, 1840.

I can confirm this. The cancellation was listed on the November calendar
which was emailed out to this list. Larry was apparently a bit fearful
of what Kalamazoo city officials might do about crowd control.

Greetings fellow homebrewers. Take me to your liter!
Every now and then, you hear something and wonder about the statement. You don't discount the idea but have trouble believing until you experience it. Sound familiar?
For years I have heard the phrase "drop the yeast" used by professional brewers. I knew that yeast in my system slowly (over the course of a month) will drop out of suspension but have never had this process work well or quickly.........until now.
Two days ago, in preparation for the gala holiday event, I tossed out two large kegs of Kolsch into a snow pile. These were the same cornies used for primary fermentation but the beer was racked one time. Rescued the cold kegs last evening and put them on line with the filter.
For some reason, the filter processed the beer very quickly. Usually the first 5 gallons goes quickly and then the rate slows considerably. The whole batch (16 gallons) was filtered in about 1 hour which is a record!
The pads had very little residue. Residue stuck to the bottom of the cornies and the ride through the basement didn't rouse up much sediment.
Yeast used was a standard Kolsch yeast (white labs I believe) - the combination ale-lager variety. Total ferment time was 20 days. O.G. 1.040. Try some at the Christmas Party tomorrow with your Beer Cheese Soup!
Moral of the story: Question many things but keep an open mind as you evaluate the results.
----------------------------------------------next----------------------------------
Do you remember those great spare ribs and BBQ that we made for the party last year? Good. Now with that memory close at hand, think about some variety. OK..............you're almost there..............
a little further please............
Rick and Dawn are making B E E R C H E E S E S O U P. The recipe will be furnished but it already sounds good. Fresh Popcorn, beer cheese soup, beer, cheese, what more could you ask for?
Door prizes galore!
