Damn.  If we remove all the irreverent posts looking for new pages (cough, cough, thirsty, cough), this thread is only like fifteen pages long.....  Got to work a little harder ID.  Me, this is still my go-to brew, and I need another week to put some in a keg.  AMBROSIA, Thanks Bruguru!!.  But, in the mean time, that oatmeal stout keeps me going, and my post isn't quite so irreverent (at least in my judgment).  : )



 

dry hopping now. FG 1.020. Taste and smell seem to be good. To be continued...

As the recently assigned (just now) Quality Control Manager of this site I will need two bottles of your beer to confirm that it meets the stringent standards set forth by the many experienced brewers that make up the membership if this site.
We strive for excellence in our members and their efforts in making the highest quality homebrew in the nation.
You may also get requests from other QC advocates from this board also. I highly reccommend that you send them "samples" of the beer also.

haha, nice try wink

 

Here is the color of Mac & Jacks.
I'm going to see if I can culture some yeast from this, it is dropping out.
My stirplate is in use right now with the M&J's porter yeast, and it's building nicely.
Is there is a centrally located person on the Right coast that wants me to send them some yeast (Bruguru, Thirsty?)and then they can distribute it from there. I'll let you know when it's ready.

Man, I was sure I was gonna have it with the doh!  Guess I'll never know greatness...

bottled...
tasted like flat goodness

 

Tasted mine as of 5 days. It has been a while since I had the original. I am not really sure i liked mine. Shared a 22oz with my brother-in-law (kindred beer enthusiast and part time brewing assistant) He says that we really should withhold judgment until the 30 days... just like the man said!

BTW The orange was there in droves (or is it groves?) And with all those hops, including the dry-hops.... Hops were not really noticeable.

I will hold the temptation for another small taste test until next Saturday. Might be fun watching (tasting) this beer as it cures......

 

I hope yours did actually turn out ok patmcq.  In all the times that I have brewed up this version of M & J, I have no disappointments.  That said, I better find some serious wood to knock on, as I have a batch cleaning up on the lees in primary, which will go into the keg this week for some heavy dry hopping, and I sure don't want to jinx it.  I know just saying this is bad karma, but none of these batches have been anything but good, and most have been really good.  My biggest problem has been having any survive the full month of keg aging.  Hats off to Bruguru for perfecting this one.

Fritz
