Boxshed Timmy's Original - with slightly pointless videos...

What is it about midweek brewnights that really get those hops flowing?

I'm brewing up a nice hop heavy Best Bitter tonight for my friend Tim, who was a fan of Flowers beers but is now a bit of a hophead. I'm blending these two fine passions in one ale (hopefully).

You're very welcome to check on my progress during the evening and witness joy or disaster :)

All seems well this morning. Captured the target 50L in two FVs at 1.046 exactly with no need to liquor back, which is great. Quite a lot of break in the fermenters for some reason, but actually I don't mind that at all - seems to get things really going in there!

I plan to upload more news and photos later on. Maybe even the odd lame video clip (if the camera didn't steam up to badly).

Well, it's all bubbling along nicely. I've now uploaded the rest of the brewday report in a brand spanking new post, together with another dozen or so extra photos. I do hope someone finds this stuff interesting - it certainly smells like it will be interesting to glug, one day!

Hmmm... Now updated with slightly daft videos.
Warning: Contains mild scenes of 'drink-brewing'.

Excellent brew thread fivetide - I love your blog. :

Thanks very much. I find it a really useful way to keep a record of things, and it's always great when other people like buckets of brown stuff too :)
