Hey, everyone! Figured I’d fire up a homebrewing community and see if there’s any takers.
I know you’re out there, just as I was out there lurking on other similar sites. :D
Come here and brag with your latest creation. I’ll start, just brewed an unexpected wee heavy using Eitrhem kveik.
Cheers!
edit: typo
I have a few things on the go at the moment.
Currently Fermenting:
A toasted coconut and cacao nib stout (going for a nice chocolatey stout with a sweet coconut finish à la Mounds or Bounty bars)
Currently Drinking:
A Sorachi Ace saison with some spices brewed with Omega - Jovaru.
A Brown Ale with Applewood-Smoked Hops that I’m not too happy with how the beer turned out which is a shame because this is my favorite beer label I have ever designed
Nice spread!
If the bochet is lacking and blending’s your thing, have you considered blending it with a barleywine?
That’s not a bad idea. I had thought to keep it purely a mead and maybe blend it with a sweet mead I have yet to make just to give it some body but honestly a nice big beer might be just the thing to give it some complexity. I think if I am to go down that route I might choose a nice big stout to blend it with because I think the roastiness might complement the chocolateyness of the bochet nicely.
Thank you! I like making mead because it is high enough ABV that I can just let it age and do other brews whilst I work out what to do with it!
