Forum brew

[Moley]

Assuming everyone who's voted is taking part how much does it cost to post 33 bottles of beer? :!:

So how does this work? Who's judging or how many bottles are we meant to send where?

I've not done one before... do we all swap beers, or is there a panel of experts???

I'm with ya lad!

 

[Ceejay]

Even though it's probably a lost cause, i have also voted for Steam Beer since it doesn't get brewed very often and could be quite interesting to get right, what with the bottom fermenting yeast and that...

 

[craigite]

APA for me. Firstly cos I've never brewed one and secondly I haven't had the time looking up to see what a steam beer is.

So how does this forum brew work? and When?

 

[leedsbrew]

looks like APA is a nose ahead! Luckily it's a style I brew a fair bit! :thumb:

 

[paulpj26]

Come oooonn you Steam Beer! :lol:

It's going to make a late surge I can feel it :shock:

Now, if I can only find a way to hack into the poll :whistle:

Ok then, as I've got a Yankish brew on the go at the moment I've joined the Mild camp.

If it goes that way though I'll be attempting a Trad. Mild :drink:
(and I'm not playing swopsies with anyone who's fannying around in the low thirties)

Its basically freestyle. It costs around £4.50 to send through parcel force so you just put a budget on how much you want to spend and then swpa with people. Usually people write up reports of the beer on the forum.

:nono: :nono: Anyone can brew a beer of 5% or more, it takes real skill to brew a flavourful balanced beer of around 3.5%

 

[Moley]

I take your point and consider myself admonished, but I'm not going to brew something I've never drunk.

I thought Mild (by its mid-late 20th Century definition) was what boys or youths drank before they graduated to real beer, before lager was invented :whistle:

Can I recast my vote ? :whistle:

 

[31bb3]

[robsan77]

You can now :thumb:

I hope you don't mind Eddie, I've just changed the poll options to allow re-voting.

APA it is then???

Not necessarily, still 6 days to run.

As part of the moderator team no i dont mind :thumb:
As long as its to vote for mild

 

[Tony]

I brewed a mild as my last one .. 4% and rather good ... maybe a little 'sweet' though. Might cut back on the crystal next time. Certainly a beer to be drank young though.

Is this going to be more expensive on postage than on ingredients?

That's not what I voted for though!

Well I think that it has become fairly obvious that it's going to be between APA, Mild or Bitter, so it seemed a shame that any who opted for Stouts, Fruit or Steam couldn't switch their votes.
