The Lupulin Effect

Finally after way too long, I stepped to the next level. Officially kegging my homebrew now. This will open me up to yet another level of control and preservation of this glorious nectar. #keg #kegging #corny #cornelious #craftbeer #allgrain #ale #bnarmy #beer #bjcp #homebrew #keezer #brewstrong

That moment when you realize you finally made the right decision, and why it took you this long. #homebrew #kegging #cornelious #corny #keg #craftbeer #blueberry #blonde #winning #blueberryjay #ale #allgrain #beer #bjcp #bnarmy #packaging #centennial #competition #gold #hops #ribbons

A littler fermentation action for you guys. These guys are finishing up the last little bit of dinner. #craftbeer #allgrain #american #blueberry #blonde #bjcp #beer #ribbons #competition #lupulin #hops #homebrew

Late night brew day, and sampling some yellow rose. Blueberry Jay 3.0, even when this is a year old it wins me ribbons. #homebrew #craftbeer #allgrain #ale #centennial #beer #bnarmy #bjcp #brewday #beerculture #clean #competition #ipa #gold #hops #hoppy #keggle #lacing #lupulin #thermoworks #blueberry #blonde #lonepint #yellowrose

Super busy this weekend. I was able to steward at a BJCP competition this weekend, put on by Greensboro's Battleground Brewers Guild. I was able to learn more about how a BJCP competition is ran and judged. I also was able to pull three ribbons too. This also marked a year since my first completion. Won 1st in smoke/wood aged beer, with a smoked Porter. Won 2nd in fruit beer, with a blueberry blonde. Won 3rd in American IPA. Celebrated Sunday by brewing a big Russian Imperial Stout that should come in about 9.5% abv. #craftbeer #allgrain #american #ipa #blueberry #blonde #smoked #porter #bjcp #beer #ribbons #competition #lupulin #hops #ris #russian #imperial #stout #homebrew

Another brew today down. American stout, nice and roasty with just a touch of hop character. Going to be good for the upcoming winter. This yeast will be reused to make a 10-11%abv Russian Imperial Stout next brew day. #allgrain #CraftBeer #beerporn #brewday #keggle #ale #beer #bnarmy #hops #homebrew #stout

Enjoying a nice hoppy Amarillo wheat while my daughter playing in this amazing afternoon weather. #CraftBeer #allgrain #hoppy #beerporn #amarillo #autumn #raindropwheat #ale #beer #hops #homemadebeer #homebrew #keggle #outdoors #relaxing #thermoworks #wheat

Got that beer fridge back, stocked up, and labeled to help me remember what's in there.

Finally got my ribbon in the mail from the last competition. First place for American wheat! #craftbeer #homebrew #lupulin #allgrain #ale #beer #bnarmy #bjcp #competition #hops #homemadebeer #brewyourown #yeast #american #wheat #firstplace #1st

Packing up for a bottle trade. Threw in the JADE for good karma, and because it's the shit. Had a blast at the epic foothills bottle share last night. Got to try a lot of things I'd never get to try normally. #foothillsbrewing #sexualchocolate #basexualchocolate #bottleshare #foothills #beer #beerculture #craftbeer #ncbeer #hops #hoppy #lupulin #ipa #stout #jade #cheerwine #teku

That moment when you find a full fermenter that you had forgotten about. #craftbeer #cider #hardcider #bjcp #bnarmy #yeast

Doing a little R&D for my next competition. I'm very happy with these results. Beautiful color. #homebrew #craftbeer #allgrain #hibiscus #orange #peel #paleale #amarillo #ale #beer #bnarmy #brewyourown #competition #hops #homemadebeer #lacing #yeast

Cold beers and brewery tour today. Love having this brewery in my backyard. #ale #americanwheat #ipa #beer #foothills #hoppy #craftbeer #lacing #lupulin #nc #ncbeer

That time again. Sampling which beers to enter. Dropped entries off today, and now enjoying my latest hoppy pale ale. I impressed myself sometimes. #craftbeer #homebrew #lupulin #allgrain #ale #beer #bnarmy #columbus #centennial #amarillo #ipa #competition #hops #hoppy #homemadebeer #brewyourown #yeast #wheat #paleale #mild #westYorkshire

Mmmm just pulled samples of my IPA and cider. IPA is ready to be dry hopped, at 7.1%abv, and needs some more time to clear up. So hoppy, and smells amazing without the dry hops. #craftbeer #homebrew #lupulin #allgrain #ale #beer #bnarmy #columbus #centennial #amarillo #ipa #competition #hops #hoppy #homemadebeer #brewyourown #yeast
