Kegged a traditional Belgian pale on Monday that finished at 1.010 for 4.7%.
Then brewed a Belgian Single, this one I used a dry yeast as wasn't very organised with sorting out Ardennes( used CML Belgian ale at the lower end of the temp range). This one had Brewers Gold and Mittlefrueh hot side, and will have a small dry hop of Mittlefrueh and Wakatu for a modern take on a Single. I used Wakatu in the Saison that I brewed for the Burning Sky comp so I'm happy with the way it plays with Belgian yeast and Euro hops 🤞🏼should finish around 5.4% and around 50ibu.

Before my trip to Norfolk last week a kegged the Belgian Single that finished at 5.8%. there was a bit of yeast in suspension which was giving the sample a yeasty flavour which I'm sure will drop out over the next 2-4 weeks while it's cold conditioning..hops tasted good and finished at 85% attenuation so nice and dry.
 
Brewed a pilsner based on a Schonramer Pils recipe from Craft Beer and Brewing. I have brewed this beer before and really enjoyed it and scored well in comps so thought I would brew it again as I only had dry lager yeast and lallemand Farmhouse available. I had planned to brew American pale using a Citra & Columbus but didn't have time to build up a suitable yeast.
Hit all the numbers for the Pils and pitches WHC Einstein. Hops are Tradition & Mittlefrueh and should finish around 5.2%

Yes Dave, I just received 300 g of Pacific sunrise as the mystery hop from the malt miller. How did you get on with it, I have e never used them.
 
Brewed another hoppy Belgian pale this week also which I dry hopped today with Bobek & Motueka. Yeast was Lallemand Farmhouse, which started at 18.5c and after 4 days is now up to 22c. Should finish just under 5 % and around 45 ibu.
