Absolutely, looks 👌🏻

Absolutely love this mate, I wish I could afford a bar like this myself!

Thanks @AnimatedGIF 😁 When I was younger I used to produce music so I used to have to come up with names all the time for tracks... I guess that has made naming beers a bit easier 😅

Starboard Porter - just brewed today, dropped into the fermenter so ABV subject to change 😅

Mill Hill Gold - brewed for the campsite I work at's end of season BBQ. First time using a pressure barrel so 🤞 it conditions well.

3 more brews to add 🙂 25L - Golden Ale 23L - Dark Mild 20L - English Porter TOTAL 7,942L

Today I brewed an English Porter and hit my target of 1.051 bang on 🙃 My first porter and 2nd dark beer.

23L Pilot Pale Ale 22L Hubbard's Harvest (Wet Wild Hop Ale) 6933L

You were right about the crystal @Keruso it has come out a bit sweet but by no means cloying. For my v2 recipe I have dropped the crystal additions down to 9%, added a touch of carafa special 3 to get it back to 28EBC and bumped the IBUs up from 53 to 58.

So Hubbard's Harvest was brewed and dropped in the FV yesterday... Next up in the brew calendar is Left at East Gate - Dark Mild

Absolutely, just hoping it tastes as good if not better than the last batch 🤞🏻🙂

Update as requested... Ramped up a couple °C Saturday for a diac rest and checked FG again on Monday and was still at 1.008 so bottled on Tuesday and seems to be conditioning ok - 3 PET bottles inflated and clearing nicely in the clear bottle.

Here's my boy Hudson

As I don't have a clue of the AA content of the hops I charged it with about 25 IBUs of challenger at 60mins then added 450g of the wild hops for a 30min 80°C hop stand using my malt pipe as an giant hop spider 😅

Went and picked a load of local wild hops this morning for a wet hop ale. Now heating up my water to mash in.

Thanks for allaying any concerns guys, I will bear in mind this in the future👍🏻

Thanks @lmbollinger my target was 1.011 it seemed an unexpectedly high attentuation for BRY-97 to me which is what made me question it.

Will do 🙂 Tbh I am kind of hoping it's done as I have found a few good locations of wild hops a few miles from mine that were nearly ripe the other day and I really want to get a green wild hop brew done as I'm guessing this heat wave will have sped up the ripening this weekend.

Thanks @Rwilts and @Clarence It was a new packet of yeast... I've not yet delved into yeast cropping and repitching yet. I'm sure I am just another newbie over thinking things (this is only my 8th brew). Just hoping the fact it has attenuated a few points dryer won't have completely changed...

Hi all, So I brewed my Pilot Pale ale for the 2nd time on Wednesday. Target OG 1.050 - hit bang on, target FG - 1.011. I mashed at 67°C and used BRY-97 yeast same as before... when I brewed it in June I pitched at 19°C as planned, had about 36 hours lag time as expected and it fermented in 5...
