So as the Leffe Radieuse is likely to be taking up space for a few months, I wondered what I might be able to brew that would be quick, easy, light, refreshing for the summer. Thoughts brought me to a hefeweizen, but sadly, I have no malted wheat in stock. What about a user-upper of some...

I will turn the heater on then! I did do a Google search on Belgian temps (and I also looked in the James Morton 'Brew' book and all of his are 18c) and it was a lower end of the range. Thanks

AG #28 Old Thumper - Update This has been kegged for a couple of months now and it's still lovely, despite accidentally using lager malt in strad of ale malt. I will def be brewing this again. Only about 5 litres left now.

AG #29 - Leffe Radieuse This weekend I brewed a Leffe Radieuse Clone. I have pasted the details in the other thread to keep all the info in one place, so if you're interested, take a look there.

Talking of Edinburgh, it reminded me that of the three country capitals of Britain, Edinburgh is the western-most.

I had to look that one up - that is bizarre.

I'm in.

Perfectly normal. The 'crud' sits on the foam as CO2 is released from the fermentation process. When the foam dies down, the crud sticks to the side of the fermenter, so you may see the ring sit slightly higher than the top of the beer. There are articles and videos on the 'net on how to read...

I will update Mrs UKS - that'll please her!

Found a load of these still in the "conditioning cupboard'. Thought I'd stick a couple in the fridge for sh!ts and giggles. I have tried the odd one over the intervening couple of years.... not pretty. So..... how are they now, bearing in mind we are now two years on? Well, the overwhelming...

I used to install BT video conferencing systems that ran on those dedicated 64/128k ISDN lines. Now everyone has video calling in the back pocket anywhere in the world pretty much. Amazing really.

This is the drink that introduced me to not drinking lagers and ultimately to take up the hobby of brewing, so I have a soft spot (geddit?) for this. Tiny Rebel Stay Puft Porter They even give you a hint to the recipe

Me too. Mrs UKS, less so.

Proof positive as the spent lager malt in bag arrives at the chicken lady (for the chickens)

It turns out that I made a bit of a faux pas and used the wrong bag of malt for this brew, accidentally using the lager malt instead of the maris otter. Ah well..... C'est le via. Update: Yeasties chomping away with a krausen and CO2 production within 6 hours of pitching. Pretty good for a...

Yes - agreed - thanks - this will be my plan - just buy more malt :D Colour looks lovely and @YeastFace agrees ;) The 'lager' hasn't been brewed yet - so I will just by more when the time comes Thank you for all of your comments - good to know that all will be ok in the end. Cheers

Yes. Sorry. The title reads like a click bait web site saying 'You won't believe what happened next' or 'This is some D List celebrity, this is what they look like now'. Anyway, I digress. Yesterday I brewed an Old Thumper clone using Maris Otter as the base malt..... except I found this...
