Thinking Bitter: 6pm 26/2/09

My local microbrew uses Nottingham in all brews apart from APA, in which he throws US-05.

I think I'd have to use different yeasts in the exact same recipes to have a view, but then again, I'm sure my mash and fermentation etc... etc... all vary by tiny degrees, so it's anyone's guess really! But yes, I'll definitely have an opinion, as ever. :)

Siphoned into a secondary at 1.010.

Smells and tastes pretty good considering it was grain four days ago!

I still have 24L. Time to leave it be for a week or so.

TTL version next up!

Who are you trying to kid...have you lost your straw :lol:

I'm annoyingly good at leaving beer to ferment and condition, on the whole.

But I do aim to brew again this week if possible - a TTL style beer based on Wheeler but with WGV and Bobek. Reckon that'll do? Might steep a little Bobek too.

By the way, haven't got a spare 50L stainless knocking around waiting for a loving owner do you? :P Bloody Nordic...

I did a TTL with Bobek recently and it was good, not exactly like TTL, but a fine drink none the less.

:lol: , nah, sorry. I keep meaning to pop into a couple of local catering suppliers to get some quotes :hmm:

Ultimate posing power, using shiny support :clap:

 

[tubby_shaw]

No stopping me now, I've bought a big shiny runcible spoon to stir things when brewing now :P

 

[fivetide]

That's £100 worth of plastic support right now, according to eBay...

TS does that HLT double up as a camping shower??? :lol:

 

[tubby_shaw]

I don't understand Wez :wha:
Do people shower when they're camping :grin:

 

[Wez]
