For people wondering: Marshmallows were historically made with mallow roots. However, they were not used as a flavouring agent, just something to acheive the the texture. Today, they're replaced by gelatin. Mallows don't taste much and I doubt it would show up in beer

[@brewdaly1873]

Yeah, any beer with "marshmallow" is just using something like Amoretti marshmallow syrup.

[@dkcook7959]

Marshmallow root is a cough suppressant. The marshmallow candy was created to help kids take the medicine. Though recipes date back to ancient Egypt. You can still find mallow in herbal cough drops like Ricola.

[@brewdaly1873]

33:05 short answer: what you're picking up is a phenolic flavor. Long answer: Phenols can cause flavors that are medicinal or band-aid like. Some bacteria, like brettanomyces, naturally cause it which is probably what happened to your tepache. Some yeast, like what they use in hefeweizens, is naturally more phenolic than other. Specifically 4-vinyl guaiacol, which is similar in structure to vanillin. Ideally this will present in a beer as a more spicy clove character, but if too much develops in fermentation you get those medicinal flavors.

[@JustCallMeCharlie]

Vanillin and 4VG are not the same compound btw, they're both phenols with a somewhat similar structure but they're produced differently and have very different aromas. As far as I know yeasts used in brewing don't produce any appreciable amounts of vanillin

[@brewdaly1873]

@JustCallMeCharlie you're right. I misremembered. Vanillin is grouped together with 4VG, but not the same, good catch.

[@lexinwonderland5741]

i really wish Greg would see and heart this comment. its fantastic. i'm a chemist career academic and you absolutely opened up the topic in a way i wish i could express to my students

[@brewdaly1873]

@@lexinwonderland5741 I'm glad I could be so informative! I'm a professional brewer by trade, so I'm only kind of familiar with chemistry as it relates to brewing. A lot goes into it. If you want more reading, I'd suggest looking into the Brewing Elements series, which has an entire book dedicated to each of the main four ingredients in beer. The Oxford Companion To Beer is also a good resource.

[@Sibula]

Phenolic off-flavors are usually medicinal or plastic in character, but chlorophenols specifically are band-aid like. That's a clear sign you got some chlorine (from tap water or sanitizer, usually) in your beer, which shouldn't happen. And yeah, the pleasant phenols are more in the clove, allspice, and pepper space.

When you repeatedly said "Trappist" (Holidotz) what you meant to be saying was Lambic. Lambics are fruited during top fermentation, Trappist is a term reserved for beers only brewed by Monks

[@howtodrink]

You’re right!

[@russellzauner]

@@howtodrink Mount Angel Abbey’s Benedictine Brewery and Taproom is one of a very few monastic breweries currently operating in the United States. They brew several beer types but my favorite is very similar to a Cascadian Dark Ale called Black Habit. They actually do brew a legit Cascadia Dark IPA called Tyrant which, like all their beers, is very very good.

Fistmas is the sort of holiday beer I really like that's been gaining popularity in the past couple years. really malty, full bodied red ales with a fuck ton of hops to balance them out. Citra Noel from Columbus Brewing Company and Dad from Rheingheist are two fantastic examples of the style. they're a more traditional sort of holiday beer that celebrates the season by being stronger and more flavorful than standard beers rather than by adding seasonally flavored adjuncts.

Framboise beer is typically made with a special lambic yeast. Sam Adams used to make a holiday cranberry lambic beer.

[@nathanvanopdorp1506]

😎 research project mode activating. Lambic yeast applications in mead making.

[@chchamp61]

Lambic isn't a specific type of yeast, it's never inoculated. In lambic production, the yeast and bacteria comes from the environment the coolship resides and is then placed in barrels for a long time.

[@cracgor]

The flavor you don't like that you described as baby diapers or whatever in the hefeweissen was probably phenol. More traditional/real wheat beer tends to have that flavor stand out. It often gets described as plastic, bandaids, or baby diapers but it is also what gives bananas their particular flavor.

[@nicholascangemi6165]

The thing I like about Samuel Smith is that they use open vats made of stone slabs for their brewing. A lot of the beer I've tried from them has kind of this mineral-y petrichor note on the backend that I love

[@AnimatorsatWork]

Not a Christmas beer but it is released around this time, but Stone Brewing’s Xocoveza Mexican chocolate stout is really good. Last Christmas they even had a chocolate and peppermint stout that was pretty good too.

[@cptreech]

I used to brew a braggot (honey beer) with mallow and hore hound as the herbal agent instead of hops. The bitter horehound to counter the sweetness of the honey and the mallow mellowed the bitter finish. I wonder if, with the "wandering into the snow" the mallow rounds the harsh end off the hop bill in a double ipa.

[@summussum7540]

Happy to find this while I’m brewing my blood orange/rye beer for Christmas!

[@aenamabag]

Usually with an NEIPA you do not need to like IPAs to enjoy them. They have IPA in the name but the NEIPA is completely different. It does have ton of hops, but they're added after the boil, with the temperature reduced, so it doesn't extract the bittering agents from the hops, only the very fruity and floral notes. That's why they usually taste like juice. They're almost the anti-IPA with how juicy and approachable they are for non-beer drinkers.

[@anthonyrowland9072]

So they actually might taste good?

[@aenamabag]

@@anthonyrowland9072 Well, I'm someone who likes any style of beer as long as its a good recipe brewed well. So yeah, like any other beer, there's great NEIPAs and some really bad ones.

[@anthonyrowland9072]

@@aenamabag I'll keep it real, not a huge beer fan. I tried a Guinness because I heard of all the flavors it supposedly had. I just got a bottle of super bitter water than made me gag. I tried dumping sugar in it, still gagged. lol Everything either tastes like bud light with a hint of whatever it's supposed to be or a dry heave liquid. I can't imagine what an IPA tastes like. Drinks aren't supposed to give you the "this isn't food" response from your body.

[@davetarpley3740]

Juicy IPAs and even hazy IPA are usually quite different from West Coast or even traditional IPAs. I tend to prefer bitter ones but the other styles capture intense, non-bitter hop flavors that are delicious. Black IPAs (and brown) mix bitter hops with intense malt sweetness. As a change of pace they're interesting but probably not for you. ​@@anthonyrowland9072

[@christajennings3828]

Boiling is what makes hops horrible. I was the designated driver for a group at the annual Stone Brewing event. They served hop water for non-drinkers, and it was nice. I've yet to find a beer I can stand. I hate bitter.

[@julius879]

In Denmark we have a "pseudo-holiday" for when the yearly "Tuborg Julebryg" is released in November. I am not really sure it changes at all from year to year, but the day of it's release is one of the busiest on the bars. The name of the day is "J-dag" (J-day). Suffice to say, "julebryg" (christmas brew) is quite big in Denmark.

[@Wagnogi]

J-dag is the first friday in november (since 1999), specifically at 20: 59, bars and stores start being allowed to sell them. (Though 2009 was an outlier year with it happening on the 30. October.)

With dry hopping the hops do not give off any bitterness. hops that are added at the beginning of the boil are what make beer bitter. Dry hopping is the addition of hops after the boil. Dry hopping add the flavors from the hops with out adding bitterness.

Not just after the boil, but after fermentation even. It’s an important distinction because adding hops at flameout or in whirlpool are other common ways of adding hops, post boil but pre fermentation

[@zachmena1700]

@@christajennings3828 I don't know if there are any that are only dry hopped, but New England IPAs and hazy IPA recipes primarily call for hop additions after the boil. Try some of those. it would be rare to find beer that is dry hopped only because some hop bitterness is really needed in beer to balance it. Malt is super sweet, like syrupy sweet, and beer is almost undrinkably sweet if you don't add hops orsome other kind of bitter botanical (as they did before the rise of hops) to it. That's why even sweet beer styles like stouts have some hop bitterness added.
