Sam's brew day's

[YeastFace]

Think you could do a pleasant Summer Ale with those.

MO/Golden Promise, perhaps some wheat or similar, and maybe a smidgeen of light caramalt. Challenger to bitter, EKG for flavour, and First Gold for aroma/whirlpool (or maybe switch around the last two depending on your tastes).

4%ish, English Ale yeast. Sounds very drinkable on paper.

I haven't brewed now in over 2 months, I have just put an order in for grain and hop's. Hopefully it will kick start Me to start brewing again.

Im the same. Been months. Was thinking of just buying an all grain kit pre milled for handiness just to make me brew something. Can’t get through the stuff I have on tap either cause we away most weekends in camper so might bottle for ease.
What did you plan to brew ?

 

[samale]

This is My problem as well, during the summer I spend My free time in the caravan. The plan is for an American amber with centennial, Chinook and Amarillo. American pale with talus and galaxy. Saison and a stout. I bought Tonka beans for the stout, I also plan to add vanilla and coffee beans. Something along the lines of levig 3 bean stout

I think we all lose our mojo on occasion.

I find that if I make myself get a brew on my enthusiasm returns - it’s like many jobs you put off, once you get started it’s not nearly as onerous as you’d built it up to be.

I had almost a year out of brewing due to other things on the go but now I'm back on it and enjoying the process again.

That’s a lot of keg hops Sam, I normally use up to about 30-40g. You’ll have to let us know how you get on. Respect!

I will keep you posted I need to buy a keg hop filter that can hold them.

 

[samale]

I am thinking My next brew will be an American amber hopped with centennial and Amarillo. I don't want an overly sweet beer

I have no home brew at all to drink, I am enjoying brewing again. So I kegged the galaxy, talus H-blanc pale ale which I kegged hopped. I dry hopped the American amber, and I have the porter fermenting. So time to look at the next beer, I have saisonstein monster yeast in the fridge, I might give a modern Saison a go next.

I have Saisonstein monster yeast on the stir plate, the last time I brewed with this it tasted of bubblegum. Not exactly what I would expect in a Saison. If this happens again the yeast will be ditched and I will go back to french Saison yeast

 

[samale]

Kegged the American amber, colour looks spot on. Added some of the slurry to the west coast IPA. Thats 2 beers kegged and 2 fermenting. I can start to look at some beers that take longer to brew. I am thinking of brewing a dark lager that I brewed at the start of the year. I am also considering going back to bottling some beers. It will free up kegs.
