My Weizen is ready, although I tried a new local supplier this year and I’m not sure that I would again for this recipe. Came out a bit lighter this year than I’d like. Also still having some issues with the step mash up to 150+, guess I’ll just have to keep tinkering with it!

Still looks great. Keep tweaking. It’s what we brewers do.
Wasn’t there a Kiss poster with yer cats, but with the Kiss faces?

I liked trying to name a Turkish beer. I couldn’t . Here’s a wikipedia link that can.
Looks like a Duvel bottle…

My in-laws have come to visit and after a few days drinking IPAs my father-in-laws wanted to get some sours. He didn’t know I had a whole aging cabinet hidden in the apartment full of sours. Some of these lambics styles we are splitting tonight are 3+ years old.
First tonight is a Brett only fermented Blood Orange. I got 3rd with this one in a local bottle swap competition.
2nd up tonight is a Czech Pilsner that has been lagering for 2 years. An extra year waiting for them because of the pandemic. This is important to me because as most of you know I cannot use lager yeast in my apartment very easily . This really worked out so well during a cold snap in NYC where my wife let me lower the temp I’m the apartment a little bit. The head is a little much with the initial pour but lingered throughout at a nice 1 cm band for the duration
That amount of goodies you stash and store in your self-described tiny apartment never cease to amaze. 
How long did the temp drop for the cold snap last for lagering? That is a pretty looking pils!

900 sq ft apartment. But we have 12 ft ceilings so I store my aging beers 10 feet up in the air. I’m typically too lazy to go get a ladder to get them so there’s no chance for me to drink them on a lark.
We run 68 degrees in our apartment all winter and I have no problem with my system going 10-15 degrees lower than that. So I was allowed to run 62 degrees in the apartment for this beer. I timed it with a family trip as well. So my family only suffered for 4 weeks of fermentation and then most went into the fridge when bottle conditioned. I had a liter bottle of this explode all over our apartment from 10 feet up when we had a sudden barometer pressure change when a big storm hit the city
Holy crap! We run our heat at 65 in the winter! 
72 is my AC sleep temp in the summer. Oof I can only imagine the mess that was!

I have to be honest. In an apartment of my size it’s really hard to get the temperature low. You have to open windows to get any kind of coldness. But I am editing above because I was off by 10 degrees.
Makes much more sense.

Oh how I wish about that during the summer… Wife enjoys heat and a bit of humidity…
