This was one of the best written brewing books I have read. Personally malting sounded like a nightmare though!

Yes I’d recommend Naked wines. Your money goes on account and still belongs to you, good quality wine. I’m also interested in where to buy beer online as I have little local to me. Will check some of the suggestions.

Thanks and well done all. My recipe is Greg Hughes but rationalised so as to use 2 entire 100g hop packs and whatever bittering hops I have in stock.

Next Thursday is Lidl beer festival, have brew dog and much more on offer.

It also has a quoted 13% abv tolerance - I used it the last time I made an imperial.

It’s dark beers again for June so why not enter it here: Thread 'June 2024 - Dark Beers' https://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/threads/june-2024-dark-beers.105089/

Does it have much more than Noonan is my query?

1 teaspoon per 500ml is probably too much anyway but I would leave as they are. If you can get the whole batch into the fridge after they are carbonated that would be better.

Inaugural bottle share at Dark Revolution taproom. Now I have had an unknown quantity of very strong beer. Favourite probably the Boon being served as I walked in. I took my all British Pils and Chilli chocolate stout which had very kind comments.

Made the Tin miners yesterday but I’ve subbed the Bramling Cross for EKG rather than make a special order for it. I can never tell if my substitutes are a good idea but there aren’t a lot of flavour hops in the recipe.

Belgian is probably the answer but my experience with the non bierm yeasts has been of poor fermentation with the exception of the Krystal which works as intended. So have been tempted to try it cool and see what it’s like.

This is the boiled mash special. I had no idea how it would taste but it isn’t very different.

Has anyone tried it? I still have 1 bottle of the original in my garage from last summer.

Bock in the garden, rode an actual bike today for the first time in ages, it’s good to be back.

The main thing is how it tastes to you. I would suggest the most likely explanation for your readings is that the water and concentrate were not well mixed at the start, so your sample was watery.

Your OG is about 1.027 and Fg about 1.010. You put these in a calculator eg https://www.brewersfriend.com/abv-calculator/ To get 2.2%. As to whether the numbers are correct - the samples need to be around 20 degrees for the hydrometer to be accurate so you would need to measure that as well...

I wasn’t too keen on the Bohemian first time but I have discovered the cold spot in my keezer to put the lagers in. It’s a bit subtle for my tastes.

Give them to someone who can use them? Maybe a cyclist as they look the same as the ones used to reinflate tyres.

That’s quite a performance for a spontaneous fermentation? I guess it was pretty warm - what does it taste like?

Would people prefer to be served the drink flat then? Seems like a ridiculous survey of something consumers will instinctively deal with themselves.
