Enjoying the warm weather, beautiful view and this crisp, cold Korev lager - Magnum, Hersbrucker and Saaz.

Holed up in our holiday hide away in the far south of Cornwall enjoying the first taste of this Hallertau Blanc steam Pilsener kegged a week ago, after a long drive. Looking forward to some swimming, fishing, reading, eating and drinking -weather looking promising 🤞

I've used this Kedem 100% white grape juice from sainsburys as an addition to elderflower wines. No colours or flavouring, it does list Potassium Metabisulphate but I've never had a problem with it fermenting out...

Outside doing a few jobs ; cleaning out the gutters, hacking back undergrowth then forced in by the rain so sitting down with this Crisp IPA - nice zesty bitterness. Nugget Cali Common I kegged a couple of weeks ago, taken a while to start clearing but lovely balance of biscuity malt and...

Pickling is quite trendy now, could be the next in thing with the hipsters ! Used to get pickled onions on the bar too, can't beat an old fashioned ploughman's with a pint of bitter.

Now having a glass of my Belgian single, Tettnang and Styrian Goldings, while I wait to see what beer my daughter will bring back from the supermarket - I have faith !

I like a richer maltier ale now and again, this hits the spot - slightly treacley and moreish.

Olicana pale ale still going down a treat. A lovely summer ale, this keg isn't going to last long. Got a Hallertau Blanc Pilsener ready to put in a mini keg this weekend, then stick it in the fridge till we go on holiday in a week.

On the ball City !

Olicana pale ale kegged a week ago, while listening to Oxford Utd do the business at Wembley ! ( I was there in 2010 when they regained league status )

Back out in the fields now its dried out a little, the young pup enjoying the buttercups !

Not expecting it to be hazey but really enjoying this pale ale with Citra, Cascade and Mosaic - lovely grapefruity bitterness. @dad_of_jon that Garth can cracked me up !

I always keep a bag of coins handy to pay for parking, far easier than faffing about on my phone with apps especially when there's no WiFi ( e.g on holiday in furthest depths of the west country ). Also if you want to tip you can be sure the right person is getting it.

Yesterday I brewed a Steam Pilsener using up a few malts and trying out a couple of German hops for the first time. Hallertau Blanc Steam Pilsener Batch #51 12L BIAB no sparge Total water 16.7L OG 1.052 FG 1.012 ABV 5.3% EBC 8.5 IBU 36 Organic extra pale 1.1 kg Vienna 1kg Pale MO...

This is my experience also, I've kegged Elderflower wine both sugar primed and carbonated with co2 and natural secondary fermentation made for a much better drink. I also found co2 gave a fizz that quickly dissipated, if you sugar prime in a keg you also have no worries about bottle bombs.
