The FES has a lot of red. Almost like a glass of Ribena. Nice.

Beer de guarde that came top in the July comp 😀

What temp are you going to ferment at ?

Quick attempt at combining the two recipes into a single batch...

Managed to figure out what I did on the day. I made a 13 litre base batch which is the SmallDonald PDF. This ended up as 1.042 as I didn't add the sugar. The recipe shows Saaz as the hops but the printed out version in my note book has the Saaz crossed out and replaced with 32g of Celicia which...

Thanks a lot for the comments, really appreciate it. And well done to second and third (@xozzx and @SMP Brewery ). I'll sort out the recipe which will be a head scratcher as I made a blonde, amber and brown at the same time. The blonde being the main mash and the amber and brown had their own...

That must be a beast.

That's exactly what I was thinking - that it just wasn't as good as it thought it was. All fur coat and nee knickers as they say round here.

Probably. Your nose will help. I probably wouldn't (and I eat cream that is two months out of date). If you'd found it a few days ago you could have made it a birthday cake 😁

Not Dark Matter on AppleTV. Could be me but got fed up half way through episode 2. Taking too long to get anywhere and the clicky sound effect when switching between 'threads' is getting annoying. Its supposed to be science fiction, we've had a lot of fiction but the closest we've got to science...

Worth thread dredging for that joke 😁. (for those that missed it - 8 years ago)

Do it. Nothing to it. I did it for the first time last week. I just used a jug to grab a few litres of the mash and boiled it for 20 minutes and then dumped it back in at mashout. It was quite a thin mash and I think it would have been better if it had been thicker in the pan. So next time I...

Four year old thread.

See attached. Closest is El Dorado...

This open...

Took a gravity reading yesterday - 1.011. The instructions (I know :roll:) say fermentation is complete when the gravity is less than 1.014 so I reckon its done. Cloudy as gravy which could be because the sample came via the tap near the bottom of the FV. Tasted very bitter. Going to do the...

Maybe indeed. I'm looking forward to my open v. closed fermentation test. I just need to finish the Staropramen clone (which I've just started the diacetyl rest) so I can use the brew fridge or a run of cold weather so I can use the heat only brew chest freezer. OR I could do a kviek.

Sounds like you should enter it into the August comp. At the moment you are guaranteed 1st or second place 😁

Oasis soup :coat:

It was interesting. As you say 'open' wasn't in the mix but the corny v. carboy pointed to short and fat being better than tall and thin.
