Looks pretty damn good. How much blackberries for what size batch?

HaHa!
1-1/4lb in primary (wild, fresh-picked, then frozen, thawed and crushed in a hop sack); then 1lb dropped in fermenter for the last 7 days. LBK sized batch brewed on 7/28/13, bottled on 8/18/13.

I'm enjoying this simple pale that I have used to learn about different yeasts: light DME, a bit of Crystal 80 for just enough flavor to be interesting, and Kent Goldings for balanced bitterness, flavor & aroma, then the yeast.

I loves me some C80. Use it along with C60 and a pinch of chocolate malt in my reds. Goldings or Fuggles and any English yeast. YUM.

I'm drinking "Franco/Belgian IPA". Bella Saison Citra IPA. Super dry at 1.002. It has intense flavor.

Swen has the coolest glassware.

Oh yeah, drinking Levitation.

That's the Spiegelau IPA Glass...

As for beer... I'm sick, so I'm not wasting any good beers when I can't taste them (Kealia's will have to wait until I'm well)... If I have a beer, I may break out a can of Shift...

That glass is pretty sweet lookin.

That glass looks interesting but at $25 I will have to hold off for a while.

I happen to be drinking a Spiced Caramelized Cider I had tucked away and forgotten until I discovered it in my closet today.

It like every cider I have made smells like some sort of hard liquor almost maybe scotch like. But outside of the smell the taste is fairly good. I am looking for my brew notes because I don't remember the ABV but about 8 oz has me very mellow.

Edit:
Just realized the cost was for 2 20 oz glasses not as bad as what I originally thought.

$25 for 2, but you can find them cheaper. Mine was gifted to me, but I know I've seen them below $10 per...

And I will tell you... I thought the hype for this glass was total BS until Neil set me up with a Hop Project in a normal tulip pint as well as the IPA glass. The IPA glass really kicks the aromas up... it just smacks you in the face with the hoppy goodness.

"Sierra Gold": when it was time to brew my all-grain american red ale, it was the start of a heat wave, so I decided to use T-58 yeast instead of the normal US-05. Given that, I replaced with small bit of roasted barley, which was for redish color, with aromatic malt. This has turned out great, I will make it part of my regular lineup, and I will probably enter it in a competition as a Belgian pale ale.

Summer Saison

got a 2ltr growler of Why Golden's Ale from the Cannon Brew Pub in Columbus Ga

Calypso Belgian pale ale, followed by a Murican Wheat.

My pipeline is dwindling. I need to brew!

Currently one of my White Wheat Hoppimania IIs. I can't believe the clarity of this beer from the keg. Especially when it is a wheat beer and I used no whirfloc on it.

Drinking the last bottles of a batch of Screwy Brewer inspired 420 Special Wheat ales.

Oatmeal Stout II earlier.

My Nong Brew....at last!
