Got to check out this brewery after seeing my family that lives in the area. Loved the staff and the beers. I was really happy to see black ipa on the tap board. It’s a style of beer I miss. Im really glad I got a chance to check this place out
I really regret going here. The beers are horrible. I knew I was in trouble when the stout and the ipa was bad. Both styles it kind of hard to screw up. The lager and pils had an odd sour flavor. It’s a hard skip for me.
So I have Frankenstein yeast from white labs. I have about 8 ounces of Citra. I’m looking for a base mall. What would you recommend for this yeast in that hop that would make something of a happy little accident ? The goal is on paper. They won’t look like it works, but it does Bob Ross’s happy little accident. I want to name it happy little accident and I’m looking for ideas.
Got a chance to check out hidden brewery before the official opening next weekend. Next weekend they will be opening up I believe at 12 noon. I only tried three beers. I tried the kolsch, Saison, and milk stout. All spot on all great. If I had to pick one beer that I liked above all, it’s the one not normally in my wheelhouse the saison. From my understanding they are working on merchandise and beers to go. I have really high hopes for this new brewery.
Just left Tom’s River brewing. I don’t know what was better the staff or the beers. Both are phenomenal. The red ale is the best I’ve ever had. The IPA’s are well balanced to to hoppy not to juicy just right. It’s worth the drive.
Went to Wild air today. The beers are great. They don’t follow the standard ipa only tap list. I was able to enjoy beer styles that are new to me. The staff is great as well. Parking was a bit of an issue other than that awesome place with awesome vibes.
Today, I finally got to go to erratic fermentation. What a great staff with great beers. I gotta say if they are not top 10 for New Jersey IPAs they will be soon. I hold their IPA up there with greats like carton, alternate ending, and Kane. The staff is super friendly. Next vacation I’m definitely going back. As with a good chunk of breweries, they’re only open all my days when Im working and I work mid shift
Decided to come to skinny flower after a job interview today. Got to say it’s as good today as it was the day it opened. I know there 1 year anniversary is coming up soon
Got to check out two ton brewing. Got to say the new staff and owners are fantastic. Like carton they really make you feel at home. The beers are really good as well. I can’t wait to go back
Yesterday I decided to go to ghost hawk brewery up in Clifton NJ. Got to say the stout and the maibock were really great. Was also cool to check out the car show across the street at rutts hut
I noticed when I mash hop. Yes I know it’s not needed but when I do historical beers, I like mash hop since that’s what was done back then. I also noticed more hop flavor when I mash hop. My question is why do I still have to worry about a boil over even with the rolling boil ? Can someone explain the science of why?
Does anyone have the new customer service number. The delivery guy refused to deliver my coffees I ordered hangs up when I tried to contact him. And labeled my number is a scam. And Uber Eats just changed their customer service number.
Came here for the 250 pale ale. Got to say it’s true to how it would have tasted back then. Parking is a bit of a pain. Other then that it’s a cool little spot
I just started a ig page dedicated to my homebrewing and brewery reviews. Is there any brewery’s open on a Monday or Tuesday that wouldn’t mind me doing a quick review and tagging them. If I can make something of the ig page I see it as a win win since I try to keep things on the positive side. To help the Nj beer industry
I went to Icarus brewery for there kolsch night. Got to say it was a great event. I want to encourage others to go in July when they have it again. It was a true experience that I really enjoyed, and the beer was fantastic. I’m gonna try to go to the next one. As long as it doesn’t fall on when I have my Home Brew meeting I’ll definitely be going back.
With the AHA awards that were just for lease I want to give a special shout out to brew hardware we’re winning shop over the year. If you haven’t checked them out, check them out they have both brick and motor and online store. They are great if you have any questions, they answer them and they don’t make you feel stupid for asking them. I can’t sing enough good things about brew hardware. Congratulations to all the winners, especially brew hardware for winning shop of the year.
Last week I brewed a kolsch. Today I gave it a taste test. Did it come out too bad I was a little bit nervous because when I put it in the fermenter, it was more of an orangey tint to it, and when gave it a taste test today, I see the color drops to what it should be. Has anybody else ever had this happen to them on the brew just to find out that the color adjusted. Does anybody know what would cause this? Taste just fine. Everything else is on point with it does it brew the color was off? But it adjusted again no clue why.
Today for Father’s Day I went to Belford brewing and cricket hill. I got to say I loved Belford brewing company. The owner is awesome. I can’t recommend Belford brewing company enough. Cricket hill is good but Belford is way better in my view.
On Instagram and YouTube, this company claims that they were the first of that system that they were ripped off by major companies now. Being so close to claw hammer I think they’re trying to accuse Clawhammer of ripping them off. However, I don’t believe those claims are true. Does anybody have inside into this company? I know their customer support isn’t that great and their equipment isn’t that great. I also know they also look a lot like claw hammer system with some minor differences. However, claw hammer does have the best system. I also like how qua hammer you could make it more your own and modify it however you want. Again, if anybody knows what’s true I’d like to kinda hear their input.
Now that MoreBeer has purchased anvil, I was thinking of emailing them with some improvement ideas I had for the anvil brew bucket. Since I love my anvil brew bucket, but I’m not crazy about taking off the lid when I have to dry hop. I was gonna email them to see if they could look into making a way you could dry without having to take off the lid completely. Just wondering what you guys think of this am I thinking too radically or is it something that other people who like anvil brew bucket would like to see as well? I do know Clawhammer has a keg that I could do this with but right now funds are too short for that. With my next thing I now I’m thinking too radically with equipment changes i’d like to see a claw hammer two simple changes one with their kettle and basket. I wish there was a way that I could just lift up the basket twist and have it stay on its own kind of like their new all-in-one system that mimics anvil foundry and mash and boil. I’d also like to see a heating element that could do a better boil at there 120 element. I get why, but it says changes I would like to see like I said I kinda think about these things and what I would like to see. What do you guys think of that? Like I said, I like looking at the equipment that I love and seeing how it could be improved. Sometimes in your head, it thinks it works, but maybe it’s not so practical would like to think what you guys have to say
