Pink Boots Society Hibiscus Pale Ale Review with Jenny!

[@rfldss89]

Dont get me wrong, hops definitely has it's place in homebrewing, but i think people in general are so used to hops in beers, that even homebrewers often cast aside other herbs immediately. It's great to see you putting hibiscus to use in beer, I've made a few batches of rooibos/hibiscus mead myself, and it's honestly such a great summer drink :)

[@williamsommerfeld4346]

Absolutely gorgeous beer! I haven't tried brewing with hibiscus, but I'm going to give it a try. I love your creativity!

[@BrewabitRick]

Nice to see you guys back together in the new place. Beer looks amazing nice work 👍🍻

[@MaestroPdx]

I just brewed 5gal of this no chill yesterday. Excited to try it

[@MaestroPdx]

i just tapped the keg and I am impressed. Very refreshing.

[@weisspayne]

I have a Hibiscus Saison with some honey. It's so good. I named it after my wife, Ms. Marianne Hibiscus Saison.

[@FloraBrewing]

That sounds lovely, like I’m sure your wife is :)

[@luukgx]

Me too! On the beer, not the name ;) How and when do you add the hibiscus?

[@weisspayne]

@@luukgx Flame out. 38g (whole box of hibiscus tea).

[@Vormulac1]

Hi Jenny! Good to see you back again :)

[@katzup]

Hii Just wanted to say I've been slowly getting into homebrewing and it's been very refreshing watching your brew days. It looks like you focus on having fun and try not to worry too much about messing up a little bit which is where I struggle. It's nice as well to see a woman brewing, the feeling of this not being a hobby for me is sometimes there at the back of my mind when I'm browsing forums or online communities, but seeing you puts me at ease! If you know of any other women (or non cis-white dudes in general [sorry white dudes]) on KZbin I'd love to check them out.

[@FloraBrewing]

Don't tell anyone but ladies are amazing brewers and recipe developers...we give the boys a run for their money :) Once you get comfy with it try entering Queen of Beer or the Shebrew competition, it's all ladies! I always say, if I have a brew day where something doesn't go wrong I will just quit bc it's NEVER gunna happen!

[@katzup]

@@FloraBrewing I definitely have my eye on some local competitions! I'm in Canada so I imagine the American ones are trickier to enter. My city has a pretty active homebrew scene thankfully. 💖

[@davidrobertson4301]

I so needed to try this brew

[@rickbosley6246]

Tomorrow I'm brewing a Belgian Wit Hibiscus, Tettnang hops, and a little something special for a dry hop

[@rudirincewind6449]

Sounds good

[@Vykk_Draygo]

I'm drinking a (homebrew) session mead with hibiscus and Hersbrucker (and a crap load of fruit). This is sitting at around 7%. Hibiscus is a great ingredient.

[@FloraBrewing]

Yum!

[@VloggingBastendo]

Cheers, awesome videos as always. Have a great weekend.

[@asabovesotabelow]

That is the color of my current Mystery Braggot I got going.

[@beerman1957]

Casting couch cracks me up.

[@FloraBrewing]

When we got it I was like uhhhh this is 100% a casting couch and it will not be overlooked in the videos

[@SpintressStation]

I've been listening to your podcast and you mentioned trying to bring back the Brewster term, just saying, if you had a few bumper stickers created to aid that movement I'd totally buy some! 😉

[@beerman1957]

Also called Jamaica in Spanish.

[@FloraBrewing]

Yes! I just never know how to pronounce the Spanish! I’m trying to learn!

[@luisfernandodelcorco4146]

Parabens pela produção, Cervejas espetaculares , Parabens gatas!!

[@kennyjoe7asa]

I finally signed up on your patreon today.Sorry it took me so long!

[@FloraBrewing]

Thank you so much!!!!!!

[@klenmcrock5265]

I'd like to get Jenny on my casting couch. Seriously though I just bought a hibiscus wheat ale yesterday called Passion of the Heights by Florida Avenue Brewing Company. Seminole Heights Tampa. It's so delish but only 4.7abv I usually won't touch anything below 6.5. I'm a hoppy pale ale person but wanted a sweet change to the bitterness as it's getting hot out here. CHEERS!

[@tman9338]

Gonna target 7% Hibiscus with next batch.

[@FloraBrewing]

I’m from Tampa! I haven’t heard of them but that sounds lovely. I used to live in town n country and Odessa!

[@craigjenkinson7734]

Love how you were trying to justify getting smashed 😂

[@FloraBrewing]

We’re always trying to justify it

[@crenedecotret]

Noob brewer here. At what moment is hibiscus to the beer? Boil?

[@FloraBrewing]

It’s at the last 5 min of boil. Worked great

[@jimmacdonald1526]

Drink half of the Keg?

[@FloraBrewing]

Drink half the keg, drink the half pitcher you poured, empty the keg, rebrew and re empty the keg for this one

[@obiworm99]

I still can't shake the feeling that the refractometer was off. You could drink much more if it was lol. P.S. love the hop bines on the couch

[@FloraBrewing]

I think so too. I’m ordering a new one. My husband found those! They’re plastic!

[@user-mr9tw6dj6h]

i am trying to get lavendar to make a lavendar pale ale. soon.

[@FloraBrewing]

Omg that sounds amazing I have some lavender drying rn I should try!

[@user-mr9tw6dj6h]

@@FloraBrewing my lavendar supplier is in another state. with current pandemic i wont be able to go get them. have to wait i guess

[@tman9338]

Dang!!! I’m sold with the review. Gonna brew a 5G batch next. Thanks Jenny for your help!!

[@FloraBrewing]

Yes do it! Low fermentation temp is key!

[@rfldss89]

Alcoholics 101: justifying your consumption by reading up on the health benefits of the components of your drinks 😂

[@jasonburns5786]

You know why it was light and no body because your mash temp was 140. 152 makes average body by the way.

[@FloraBrewing]

It was def lower than anticipated I was going for 152 for sure but not used to propane! Honestly the lightness works very well for the beer

[@j.serraldealvarez844]

Great! Can we cook together some day? pleaaaasseeee! :)

[@FloraBrewing]

Haha I’m a mess of a cook and don’t play well with others in the kitchen ;)

[@j.serraldealvarez844]

Hahaha🤭 😅 i mean cooking a beer together. i am a begginer home brewer!!! 😁😎🍻
