Another new member introducing himself

[Dorst]

Hi all,

A kind greeting from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I'm new to this forum but I'm an experienced home brewer (been brewing for about 7 years now). I've lived in Oxford for about three years and always had a soft spot for British beer and beer talk.

I used to post and lurk around the BrewUK forums in the past but their forum has been broken for a long time now - and I had a less than pleasant experience with one of the admins. I really enjoy interacting with other people around beer so I hope to find some like-minded people here.

My brewing setup is a Braumeister 20 liter, 2 Grainfather conical fermenters hooked up to a glycol chiller, and a self-built 3 tap kegerator. I'm really pleased with my setup although I am dreaming of upgrading to a Brewtools B40 if I ever win the lottery.

I currently have a Mild and Kveik pale ale on tap, and a Czech dark lager and a wild stout in my fermenters. Corona lockdown has been good for my brewing schedule it seems.

Last but not least I set up and run a local homebrew group (foebar.com) and contract brew beer in Bulgaria (dorst.bg).

Nice to meet you!

Welcome Dorst. WHat's your favourite beer?

Nice to meet you too, welcome to the forum

Hard question to answer; but my stuck on a deserted island with only one beer choice would be Saison Dupont.

I really enjoy Belgian lambics and geuzes, Orval, Rodenbach. I like German helles and gose. Or a good bitter IPA.

When Iook at my own brewing I can see that I enjoy making simple beers more and more. I made a Dortmunder Export lager and it was perhaps my favourite beer I have brewed.

Hi Dorst

Good to see you back posting on the forums

I really hope I wasn't involved in giving you a "less than pleasant experience" ... it didn't involve that bottle of herftsbok I sent you, did it :tinhat: ... if it was me, I apologise unreservedly ... welcome aboard

Cheers, PhilB

Hi PhilB,

Seems you also made the jump - nice to see a friendly face :hat: (and no you were not).

Although I never got around to give you feedback on that herfstbok. It has been a while and I don't remember too much specifics. A bit on the sweet side but nice? I'm sure it was based on the other beers I had by you.

How have you been? Have they made you admin here yet?

Sounds like a good subject for a new thread.

Hi Dorst

You did give me feedback on the herftsbok at the time ... I think "a bit sweet" about sums it up ... teach me to try making a beerstyle I've never even tasted

I'm well thanks ... and no not a moderator around here, more hassle than it was worth anyway ... I have nothing but admiration for moderators of any forums ... but I'm more than happy to let them get on with doing it without my help

... I reckon I could just about manage with an infinite supply of Timmy Taylor's Landlord on cask, FWIW

Cheers, PhilB

Great idea! I kind of tweaked it for current events and opened a new topic
