Summer Brew and Swap - British Golden Ale

[samale]

Big decision
Bottle condition or keg.

Open to everyone, the more the merrier. I didn’t get time to brew this weekend, it’ll be going on late next week by the looks of things.

Please can I play?

Mine has now finished carbonating in the keg.

It's ok, nothing wrong with it but I'm not entirely happy with the UK Chinook. The floral and lemon notes are there but it's bitterness is a touch harsh for the style.

I may yet do another batch before the swap but revert back to EKG with a touch of UK Cascade as a late addition.

Looks good

Oh yes, fire up the Grainfather!

Just removed the dry hop and tried a sample. It's definitely improved
I am going to bottle it on Friday night all going well

What's the date for the swap? I just happen to have a golden East Kent Golding's thing fermenting away... It's a made up recipe I put together with leftovers but I'm really looking forward to it!
Count me in!

It’ll be end of August sometime. I think we’d talked of posting on around weekend of 22nd.

I kegged my golden ale tonight, I also bottled 5 for the swap. Looking forward to tasting it

 

[dave_77]

First sample after 5 days in the keg

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Looks good Dave. I’m brewing mine on Saturday so I’m hoping there’s enough time for it to mature a tad and also hoping it’s gonna be drinkable

 

[Alastair70]

Nice! I'm brewing Saturday too. Not sure how my holiday is going to impact on its aftercare after that.

 

[marshbrewer]

Think I might have a go at this on Friday. Let me have a look at my ingredient stock.....

 

[samale]

Only 3 days in the keg but I had to try it

 

[pilgrimhudd]

Brewed mine this afternoon, went with an Admiral/Challenger bittering mix, Ernest and Bramling Cross flavour and whirlpool, thought i'd brew another soon with the Harlequin and the rest of the Ernest. Using CML 5 and actually using my brew fridge this time to keep the temp on the low side, 18c.

Bottled my brew this eve. FG was 1.008,vgiving me 4 2,% which is slightly higher than planned. Nice color tho not sure about the taste!! Will see how it is after a few weeks conditioning. Went with Bramling Cross for bitterness and Styrian goldings for aroma. Have this and my previous golden ale for the swap

 

[Alastair70]

I’m a little late to the party, but the Wy1318 starter has just been deployed. Brewing Tuesday.
