I was recently having a discussion as to whether there is enough phosphoric acid in a can of coke to be useful for mash/sparge pH adjustment. Gonna have to give it a try sometime.

That glass should have been placed on a mirror with a credit card.
Would of been a nice touch! Given however that I am a school teacher, and this is a public forum, I have to stick to the straight and narrow.
 
On my third glass of a Mongrel, pic doesn't do it justice, it has very deep red hue to it. (dark timber background does not help)

1/3 A Lil bit Epic (mid strength Epic Pale Ale)
1/3 MIDAPA (my house mid APA, kind of like a Epic style but not as full on)
1/3 Irish Red

* For those that don't know the term, Mongrel beers are left overs from the fermenters mixed into a common keg.

A nice thick creamy head, quite hoppy on the nose and upfront, finishing of with a nice big malty hit and a balanced bitterness. Reminds me of a White Rabbit Dark Ale on steriods. This is a really nice drop. I'm thinking of making a recipe based on this one.

Pic just does not do it justice.

Haha! I agree. Teachers shouldn't be allowed to show a sense of humour over slightly innapropriate topics in public places :)

I'll be watching your grammar now ;)
 
I got Gorden Strong's Sweet stout in my glass. I think it's called "headlights on". What a beer it would have been. It stopped at 1030, I decided to carb it and see how it went. The flavour is coffee, chocolate, roast, and to be honest oatmealy....I think thats from the lactose tough. So next one i'll use 1968 and mash at 65. Only because it's got like 20% roast in it and 1kg of laktose. Im also thinking of putting some bacteria in the other keg to eat some dextrins.

A Hitachino Nest White ale inspired brew. I love this commercial beer !

Lots of orange zest and juice, coriander and a touch of nutmeg. Nice dry, slightly tart finish...very refreshing.
6th/25 and 110pts at Beerfest...happy with that !!

Some of my mongrel kegs have been amazing beers, none have been bad beers. I mix whatever comes out the fermenters next, ales, lagers, light, dark and I have never had a beer that's not very drinkable.
I served one up at a swap here once and because of the colour I called it a Porter, brewers loved it. The only sad part is I'm not able to reproduce them.

BB Pale and Ale malts for the base, and around 9% Dark Crystal.

All Cascade hops throughout.
