I might give that a try if i ever get a bacon beer urge again! Thanks for the ti. I'm not sure that's how brewdog would have set about it, as i'd imagine adding spirit in a tincture would have been an issue in licensing terms. Sent from my SM-T585 using Tapatalk

Me too mate, me too. There's nothing worse tham aging a beer for a year then realising that it wants to escape the bottle in 0.2 seconds as soon as it's open Sent from my SM-T585 using Tapatalk

It didn't escape quickly, so nearly all of it went in the glass. I had the same with some of their other beers too. I'm not sure that their bottling process is up to scratch. Sent from my SM-T585 using Tapatalk

I did the decent thing and cracked open a pannepot of similar age. It has a less in-your-face spice character I'd say, with more body, even a smooth chocolate that my homebrew doesn't have. It's still quite peppery, so I'd say the t-58 would be a good choice if you want to aim towards this. I...

Just tried this for the first time in a long while. The spice is pretty smooth now. You could still call it peppery, but it's still hard to say where the spice ends and yeast character might start. It's got less body than it used to, but it's aged quite well. I've got a 2015 pannepot in the...

Brewdog made a memorable version of this a number of years ago that was around 15% abv and had maple syrup and (somehow) smokey bacon in it. It sounds like the worst kind of "craft" beer excess, but was effing fantastic. Think it was called lumberjack stout or something similar Sent from my...

@strange-steve It's quite hard to tell what any one component brings to the table in thus beer, as the flavours are so huge. This was the only brew that I've used t-58 on, so I don't have anything else to compare it too. I'll try one tonight and feed back! Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

@strange-steve An eisbock would be great! I'm still at the same place, indeed. I'll see if I've anything to trade. I was surprised at the level of spice in my beer, especially with a FG of 10.20 which I thought would have hidden it a bit. I home-made some candi-style syrup using the 950g table...

I had a go at a Pannepot clone a few years back. My recipe was very similar, based loosely on a recipe on the mad fermentationist site and some other sources. It worked well but was spicey as hell for quite some time. The remaining bottles are nearly four years old now and have mellowed out a...

It is. Last Sunday of every month at 3pm in the gallowgate bar. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

I live in Aberdeen but missed Devanha as I arrived here in 1998. I'm sure that a chap from our local homebrew club recreated a Devanha beer which, if I remember correctly, was fantastic. I'm pretty sure it was a xxx, but memory is rubbish at the best of times Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

It's quite natural to want to monitor it so closely, we all do it at first. If it doesn't have any pressure after two weeks, start looking for a leak, otherwise you can only wait. It's a homebrew cliche, but it works - don't worry, relax, gave a homebrew Sent from my SM-T585 using Tapatalk

If it's any consolation, your 80g of sufar should be right. If it's somewhere warm-ish for a while it'll be fine Sent from my SM-T585 using Tapatalk

It can take 2-4 weeks to get decent carbonation. If it's only been two days, you're jumping the gun a bit Sent from my SM-T585 using Tapatalk

Sounds like a winner to me Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

I've never tried basil in a saison, but a lemon zest saison I made a few years back was the best I've ever made. If this is a winner I might try something similar! Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

I'm fond of a few french beers and have managed to pick them up in Super U. I recommend Ch'ti, thiriez d'esquelbec, la choulette, gavroche (malty but very nice). You'll find lots of belgian beer too Sent from my SM-T585 using Tapatalk

I'd rather have a vacuum packed pouch,no tin for me. Sounds like a great project though, i'm definitely interested in fresher hops, thumbs up! Sent from my SM-T585 using Tapatalk

That looks good to me. I paid around the same for a 9 litre (6.3kg, i think they're equivalent), with a larger deposit and had to drive to glenkindie to collect it. If they agree to deliver to Aberdeen please let me know, i might use them next time Sent from my SM-T585 using Tapatalk

We take our own brew along to share. The bar actively encourage this as long as we buy a few pints and don't take the piss. It's a pretty good arrangement really. I look forward to trying your beer! Sent from my SM-T585 using Tapatalk
