One of the great things about collaboration brew days is the conversations we have while we’re brewing. Here are some of the best of the Q (and some A) resulting from our collaboration brew day on December 17:
Q: Do we have to brew today? I’ve got tickets to the Chargers game and Foreigner is playing the tailgate party!
Q: What the heck are you thinking? Getting three of San Diego’s most hop enamored brewers together and brewing a scotch ale!? One of the least hoppy styles in existence!?
Q: How long does it take to dump 10,000 pounds of grain by hand?
A: About 4 hours!
Q: How long does it take to weigh out 25 pounds of hops?
A: About 4 minutes!
Q: Are you intimidated by Chuck’s beard?
A: It’s all right, but come back when he looks like Billy Gibbons or Santa Claus. He’s got nothing yet on Cecil.
Q: Did you figure in the extract from the brown sugar when calculating the recipe?
A: Ummm, hey! How about we increase the target gravity from 19°P to 20°P, everyone good with that?
Q: What are the wort IBUs? 30!? You mean 130, don’t you? No?

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and spices. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, malt, bread, and a bit of alcohol, leading to a dry, alcoholic, and bitter finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

This brew is a dark brownish-amber color with a medium khaki head that dissipates slowly to an outer ring. Rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of bready malt, caramel and brown sugar. Medium to full body with a rich earthy malt character and notes of sweet caramel, toast, hops and dark fruit. The finish is malty with a lasting toasty bread aftertaste. Above average overall.

Bottle @ home. I purchased this in Colorado and then dragged it through six states looking to share it with someone before bringing out home and finally opening it tonight. Dark orange brown appearance with a tan head. Today, hazelnut, toffee, dark caramel malty nose. Thick, caramel, hazelnut toffee flavor. Roasty toffee, caramel aftertaste. Pretty good.
