Beer Name: Saratoga Oatmeal Stout
Brewer & Location: Olde Saratoga Brewing Company, Saratoga Springs, NY http://www.monthlyclubs.com/media/ca...meal-stout.jpg Eye: Inky, Jet black, with a thick but not persistent khaki/tan head Nose: notes of caramel and chocolate, "hoppy", light Flavor: Smokey, Smooth, very creamy but not heavy on the palate, Rich and complex, but balanced and not-overpowering. Notes of smokey caramel and dark chocolate Comments: The Saratoga Oatmeal Stout is a truly noteworthy, exceptional stout out of New York, enjoyable, well flavored, it doesn't over power the drinker. A stout which is creamy and rich enough for experienced stout drinkers to respect, but soft enough for the novice to enjoy. |
I have a question about beer and all of the different kinds of beer, ale, etc.
what if you have a place where people eat that offers all kinds of beer local, regional, USA, Canada and Mexico and imports beer by the case from England, Germany etc by the case now and very few of your customers ever purchase the beer from overseas. Got me so far? How long will the beer last in the back storage room in a dry dark area? |
Generally in a situation like that a restaurant or bar will order very little of their least "popular" beers.
As with any food or drink, freshness is important, and beer is no different. Of course it depends on the beer and how it is bottled/canned and stored. a good rule of thumb would be that a cool dry place or refrigeration will hold a beer for anywhere between six months and a year. restaurants are going to have the advantage of reviewing past sales data of course, so they are able then to order more of the beer that sells and less of the beer that doesnt. it is best to keep it refrigerated, or in a storage area that is not subject to temperature changes. If for example your basement or store room holds a pretty constant average temperature without much fluctuation - that is the best storage conditions EDIT: i will add, that beers with a higher % of alcohol content will shelf for longer periods of time than lite beers with a lower % of alcohol content. |
I brew a beer at home. German pilsner, dark Munich and rye malts filtered through Juniper branches and berries. I've pitched Red Star fresh bakers yeast but that is becoming hard to find these days. Now I use and quite happy with Wyeast 1084. Though from what I understand the key to success is to use Finnish Bakers Yeast unfortunately its only found in Finland and its too damn expensive to ship and only keeps for a limited time.
Anyway, I dont add hops nor do I boil or pasteurize the wort. I just pitch the yeast and two weeks or so later I siphon straight from the pail 11% homebrew sahti. Since its not boiled all the wonderous healthy bacteria and protiens aren't killed off. Makes for a very healthy drunk... err, Im mean drink! Next time I make it I'll post a pic. |
What do you call it?

Its called Sahti or in the case of 11% ABV Mighty Sahti anything less is for women, or so Ive been told, lol. Its a beer which has been around for a very longtime and yet there's really no set recipe to follow it varies from region to region. And instead of useing a hollowed out log as a mash tun and milk can. I use a 10 gallon igloo cooler with a false bottom, a six gallon glass carboy or plastic fermentation pail. I get a nutty, fruity, banana, junipery un carbonated brew that sort of makes one euphoric rather than stumbling drunk. But then I've always been able to hold my liquor better than most :). Oh, and I do pasturize it when I bottle as a gift. otherwise I just siphon it straight into a snifter like the fellas in the below video do. good stuff I tellya. http://brewingtv.com/episodes/2010/1...throwdown.html . |
11% ABV, sounds bloody monster to me, pal. I'd be quite happy getting either euphoric or stumbling drunk on that, buddy :) Well done you!

WOLF ROCK

"Wolf Rock", a red IPA (India Pale Ale) brewed by Sharp's of Cornwall, UK. It's a rich dark red and smells deliciously of ROSES; this isn't printed on the label... it's what we smelled when we tried it. It's powerfully malty + fruity; 4.8% ABV |
