Stinky Daddy Brewery

Chubby Squirrel Amber Ale (B55)

AHH! Post 300 and a new brewing session. I tweaked my Knobby Tar Amber for this partial mash.

1.8lbs XL DME, 1.5lb 2-row, .5lb Victory, .3lb Cyrstal 80, .25lb Munich, .25lb Special Roast, .2lb Biscuit, .5oz Willamette @ 60, .5oz Fuggles @ 20, .4oz Fuggles @ 2, Irish Moss, Wyeast American Ale II

Whew am I rusty! Hit my mash in temps but missed both mash out temps. Just didn't heat enough water. Oh well. Also had trouble keeping a good boil on the stove top. But I got through it and now have something fermenting.  I forgot how good mashed grain smells...

Dropped in on Epicurean Outpost - LHBS

Dropped in over at the Epicurean Outpost yesterday. Their was a group in the parking lot cooking up an all grain batch of amber ale. Just happened to have a couple of bottles of Lucky 7's IPA in the truck. I gave them as samples to the brewing crew and Dave the owner. It was well received!

One More Lucky 7's IPA (B51) review

I too have been the recipient of a Stinky Daddy Lucky 7

It is an awesome IPA, In fact if I may say it is as good or better than a Dogfish Head 60....

I am not kidding, it is one wicked beer!!!!

Thanks Andy for the Great beer, and Thank you Derrick for posting the pour pictures.

 

Thanks Ron!

Brewing Buddie's review of Lucky 7's IPA (B51)

 

Mmmmm... Cascade is strong on the nose. Earthy, Grassy goodness. Picking up some Amarillo as well. Slight Malt fights it way through the hop aroma.
Large medium size bubbled head. Just slightly off-white. Brilliant Bronze color. Just simply amazing clarity. Lots of raising CO2. Excellent head retention and lacing.
Wow this is an awesome tasting beer. Slight malt sweetness at the front. Cascades and Amarillo take over mid-tongue. By the finish it is all about the Hops. Finishes clean, with minimal Lingering bitterness. Starts to finish a little sweeter as it warms. Nice mouthfeel. Carbonation is perfect. Slight, ever so slight hot alcohol pokes its way through, but is carried by the wonderful balance of hops and malts. Hard to believe that this is a 1.078!
Overall I do not know if I have conveyed that I enjoyed this beer. If that is the case, let me just say that this is a friggin' AWESOME beer! I wish I could brew a Pale like this. I think that I would need to use bottled water to achieve this wonderfulness. My water is more conducive to Browns and Darks.
Wadda ya charging for Six Packs, Andy? Stinky Daddy Beer is Habit Forming.

Jeez, thanks for sending this beauty, Andy!
Amazing!

WOW!!! Thanks Derrick!

Busy Busy Busy ... but not Brewing

Wow have I been busy. Work, school, and baby girl have been wide open since February. Have not had any time for stinky fun...no brewing & no blogging. EMR project at work has been taking it all.

Had to go to Dallas for 2 weeks of work related training in March. I did get to visit the Flying Saucer and BJ's Brewhouse in Addison. I took tasting notes and will post them here. I do have to say I was not impressed with BJ's. 

Took a trip with Stinky Momma and some really stinky friends to Miami last weekend. We stayed in a 3 bedroom condo at Acqualina. All I can say is WOW!!! Way out of my tax bracket. The BMWs and Mercedes were the junk cars in this parking lot and black suited security guards in the beach/pool area. The valets sure made our rented minivan disappear quickly..... 

Maybe ... just maybe I'll block some brewing time for tomorrow!
