I gave up waiting for you to brew those multiple test batches and bring them by for a taste! I know, you sent your roomie by with one that tasted fine, but I'm still waiting to taste the rest. "fine" isn't particularly exciting in my books but more importantly is trying a few different methods as planned. I'm not a baby sitter, I ask once then it's up to you. Come see me and we'll figure it out.

Hang tight and we'll get around to more collab brews eventually. It was a grueling haul from Sept through Dec integrating the 14 new tanks. New tanks require a 5 hr caustic clean then passivation with a strong acid solution, then a drying period. Then to get them all filled with product. I also brew beers for the Moustache upstairs now. So yeah, I'm taking a bit of a breather, except it isn't really a breather because I'm too busy.

There's a LOT of things that come into play when brewing professionally that you don't need to worry about when home brewing which I'm not going to get into too much here, now. Suffice it to say sometimes it can be a challenge. Filling all the new tanks left me with all fermenters full and in need of fast specialty beers plus I tied up one tank with Wreckoning RIS for ~ 10 weeks.

Collab beers will happen as I have brain space and there's time to treat the brew with respect.

Meanwhile.... my fermenters are all full. Again :cheers:

Good to hear, I wasn't complaining just looking at what might be coming up in the future. Maybe Rubbertoe and Jamie should get some of that award winning pilsner over to you to try :cheers:
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

PM Sent... Baby sitter not needed. I know you were busy when we brought in the last sample, but you seem to have completely forgotten what you said.
