I use the dregs of boon oude gueze from two bottles and a bit of clear strained greek yogurt juice with lacto. keep nice and warm 30c+ no yeast required. It will be uber sour when young but will mellow over time.

I often fire a broadside after drinking one or two of those 😳

Yesterday's haul as I needed a no beer day plus it was easier to manage driving home from hebden bridge. 3 of these 4 beers were delicious for different reasons but the black IPA didn't quite live up to the other bipa's I've had. The queen's knot brewery aka @DocAnna was most welcome like a...

Tuesday ahhhh...... Along with my previous visit to VC a visit to vocation tap was on the bucket list. It didn't disappoint. 😍11,13,14,15,17,19,20 were my picks 🤣. Mrs loved the kirsh Russel by brew York. She had the grapefruit radler to start. It was important for me to try life and death on...

I used gozdawa yeast and it has flavours similar to la trappe quad but it's darker and lower in abv. https://gozdawa.info/en/en-drozdze-pok-v

thank heavens its not been held in Belgium then :laugh8:

So Monday was down from Inverness to Dumbarton via fort Augustus and harry potter viaduct. Arrived in the premier bin rather late via McDonald's so a few beers in the hotel room. Thank heavens for our portable mini fridge. The vault city kirsh of life was better in the hanging bat Edinburgh on...

Sunday was a touring drive to Skye and back. Honestly pretty much all bar 7 or 8 miles of the 113 mile each way drive were incredibly scenic. We picnicked along the route as portree is mostly shut on Sunday. Ended up back in Inverness for a cheeky hotel drink before black Isle rooms again then...

In metallic green with a black vinyl roof. You could open the car door with a knife. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vauxhall_Viva#/media/File:1975_Vauxhall_Viva_1800_(38952688220).jpg

Cheers, you describe it better than I could.👍🏻 When really young it was capable of turning your face inside out. Nowadays it's considering a pipe and slippers. I've not had one for a while but probably in tart and apple-y territory.

So Saturday was in order of merit a red rocker from cromarty, Rhode runner from black Isle and finally forest dweller from uile bheist.

So for Friday in Inverness at the black Isle tap & rooms, thanks for the recommendation peeps.... A weizenbock, a delicious black Isle 7% stout nessmalle a Belgian blonde and the red beer was a yonder blueberry Bakewell fruity pastry sour but less sweet and more subtle than VC beers. Finished...

The burning sky was in Stirling spoons as brewdog Stirling were closed on Thursday during my visit. 🙄 all the rest were from the hanging bat Edinburgh. No 8,11,14&15

Yes it was uber cool brings the forum to life. I thought it could be a bit nerdy but having a good old chinwag with a fellow brewer is a pleasure. Non brewers just don't want to know although are often keen to drink the results 🙄 One of the takeaways from our chat was I can never match your...

Hi Alan firstly you don't need to do a full volume boil I use dry malt extract.(Dme) You will need to steep/mash some grains and the should be a reduced volume boil with the wort you get from that. I use a big stock pot for this. I've never had a homebrew twang using DME. I've seen extract based...

Wednesdays beers in Edinburgh..... The brewdog clear beer was solo Simcoe and a bit disappointing the jackhammer however was great. As for vault city only the elderflower and pear was below their usual standard (or too subtle for me).

All from the William Rufus on Tuesday as brewdog were closed. They were all pretty decent I was surprised to see they had the Welsh regional spoons beers as well in Carlisle!

I've never added yeast at bottling as long as there is some 'sugar' left in the beer that they yeast will chew on and the yeast isn't at its alcohol tolerance limit it will be fine. I've had 12%+ from a single packet of dried yeast.

Pm'd athumb..

That all good as in it's safer and has less nasty minerals from congo etc. It's not as energy dense but improved lifespan. So it may make cars heavier to compete with li-ion. It seems that it will go in cheaper cars and if the battery lasts longer that will be good for us peons. Those that want...
