That’s an aeroplane by the way

Gose goose. Who cares

Is gose the same thing as gueuze?

Sort of. But you can drink a gueuze if you have high blood pressure.
And stop acting like you don’t know. I know where you grew up.

Ooohhhhh I didn’t know the spelling police were out tonight
Gose goose. Who cares. It’s salty beer no matter what. Wrong.

I quite like the taste of a salty goose

I honestly don't. I know what a gueuze is... Just not gose. I don't know whether it's a different thing, or just a different spelling

Dusts off book and proceeds to feel like an *****

I’ve just brewed a version of the Winter Warmer on the previous page, not sure what happened but it turned out to be 1.068 instead of 1.062

Spoiler: Don’t tell anyone

But I added some spices to it as well

Just brewed my Christmas beer.
6kg golden promise, 300g crystal, 150g chocolate malt.
Fuggles, Brambling cross & EKG to secret recipe.
1060 odd Og

 

[SMP Brewery]

That is virtually the same, only had EKG n Fuggles in mine added a bit less crystal plus a bit of wheat malt.

I made a basic stout last year and added half a bottle of Dark Matter spiced rum to 21l. It was bloody excellent. Lots of Christmas flavours

 

[Clint]

I'm doing a stout and Cheshire Cat Leffe clone. Bits I needed ordered from MM.

I was going to do a Belgian Dark Strong/Quad but not sure it will be ready by Christmas now as won't be able to brew for a couple of weeks. I may do an Extra Stout instead.

Well that BDSA had turned into a Dubbel after messing up the water calculations.

Fortunately the style label that gets applied to the beer doesn't actually affect the taste! Just enjoy the beer for what it is and don't worry what style it is (the Belgian breweries don't!)

Agreed. I just wanted something too strong and complex for Christmas, but I will just have something a bit less strong (but more of it, which is no bad thing). Wort tasted good so may well be a happy mistake.

Normally wort tastes pretty horrible when I taste it (probably the green hop bitterness). So when I have a wort that tastes anything upwards of palatable, I know I'm into a winner!

On the subject of Christmas beer...in the past haven't the forum members nominated and voted on a selection of styles that we should try?
