'Marshal Zhukov's Imperial Stout with Peruvian cacao nibs, ancho & pasilla chiles, Madagascar vanilla beans, and cinnamon.'

It is really tasty :-)

Seth had a thread posted about the brewery release. It generates some good turn out but nothing like DLD

This can be arranged.. I also have a 6-tap keggerator. About to keg up an Imperial Smoked Porter (10% abv). Also, the beer is officially at 16% abv. Went from 1.150 to 1.030 SG. Seriously though for some of you Georgian's, my mom has a place in Dahlonega as a second house (she moved there then got married and is living in KY with stepdad). I could make one happen in either, or both, places. Beer, Bourbon, and Cigars. Can't beat it.

Also, for my 100th batch (next is my 84th) I will be completely insane and scaling that 16% abv beer up. Shooting for 25% abv.... I'm serious. The grain bill will yield a little over 20% abv (70lbs of grain, 40% efficiency, at 1.05 qt/lb, 1st running no sparge), assuming fermentation goes well (A LOT involved in getting that right, like injecting pure O2), then I will be adding Kentucky Sorghum Syrup and Sucrose to push the yeast to it's absolute limit. We'll see how that goes... :-)

Ok, this sounds insane. Where in KY are you again!? If you have people down for the 100th batch, do let me know!! :-)

I'm often down in Louisville and Lexington for work and always looking for more people to herf with. I'll actually be in Louisville all next week (Mon-Sun) doing events during Derby week. Hit me up if your in the area.

That was an awesome release! Def marking it down as a "must-go" annually.

Should be at DLD around noon...prob not bringing any cigars, as I don't really like to mix cigars and beer. We have a pretty huge crew heading there...lots of tasty rarities. :-) I'll try to look you guys up.

I am currently in Lexington but from Louisville. Moving back to Louisville in June. Maybe I can throw something together this summer once I get settled in my new house. Hoping I can find a nice one for a nice price. That 100th batch won't be for a couple months or more anyway, but a nice get-together for it sounds like a good idea. We can enjoy it's smaller brother (Monolith, the 16% abv stout), along with plenty of other brews. It will be an alll day brew, since I will be doing 2 more beers off that same mash. 2nd runnings should yield another big Stout. 3rd maybe an Extra Stout, not sure. I'll let you and other know when I figure things out.

I was thinking about this earlier, as much as I want to smoke cigars at DLD, I will be trying so many awesome beers I don't want to wreck my palette with some cigars. I love pairing the two, but this is a little different. I can't wait though. I may bring one for later in the day.
[Reply]

Sounds good man, look forward to having an opportunity to try some of those this Summer as I won't be able to attend DLD this year due to prior commitments. I'll gladly bring the cigars for the event!

Do let me know once things start shaping off so I can be sure to put it on the calendar.
[Reply]

Will do. Should I post a thread in this section or the Herf section? I guess the Herf section would be more ideal.
[Reply]

For this thing coming this weekend, you homosapiens are pretty quiet....
None of that "I can't believe it's almost here" business, or "Three more DAYS!"
Is it cancelled or soething?
[Reply]

4 MORE DAYS OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!111


I wonder how differen't it's going to be this year. Much less crowded than last year I suspect, since it's an admission ticket this time. Last year was nuts.
[Reply]

Just a reminder: I'm willing to help any of you guys use an extra ticket if one should end up needing that assistance. :-)
[Reply]

You don't want to be too excited yet because it is 4 days away. Come Thurs/Fri things will change.
[Reply]

Just doing a quick line change:

1. ODLS1
2. Jbailey
3. IBQTEE1
4. St. Lou Stu
Icehog3 - Not coming :-)

You can remove my name from the list. And I really wanted to go to this too. But I have to stay home and watch mine and Wes's son.
