Had some lovely bao buns and a panang curry, now using some of my stout to top up (or bottom up, I put it in first) the 440ml Guinness through the nitrosurger

Couldn't resist a try of this cobbled-together Best Bitter I used Munich dark and a touch of chocolate malt for colouring and it hasn't turned out too bad 7 days in the bottle taste is rather green but clearing nicely.
Had to put this back into the fermenter as it was like a nuclear explosion when I tried it previously. It may look flat, but it's got a pleasant carbonation when I drink it along with a pleasant bite to it. I'm chuffed with it, it's like alcoholic Ribena
Says has a “bunch of audacious hops” I think their definition of audacious is different to mine.

The Black Country might no longer produce anchor chains for steamers but the beer's good!
Nice mug though

I think Shipyard is a typo, too.
Day off tomorrow so starting with -
Back home now,
My pre dinner is my own hopped Kent pale, her's the dinner Claret that
needed decanting.
I get the filtered off the crud taster.
My, that went down quickly so it has to be my Camden (not so) pale ale clone. Absolutely gorgeous.
I had my first actual Camden p. a. last night at a pub dinner.
Mine is tastier.
Son turned up just on time for my Camden pa clone taster. He agreed, sensible boy.

I thought I would give my Golden Ale a fair crack of the whip. So it was the first cab off the rank tonight. No, still ****, a definite toffee note, and lacking the bitterness which satisfies my palate. No more Noble hops for me in an ale. Second was another taste of my latest Best Bitter, even green it is more like it. I had an English Pale Ale after that, even better.
Best Bitter.
Best Bitter.
It's a shame about that Golden ale hop/toffee balance.
The one I brewed was an Exmoor Gold clone and an absolute cracker, using just Maris Otter pale (normal) malt, a little (100g vs. 4kg MO) light crystal malt and flaked barley each. Hops were Challenger 60mins. boil for bittering, and EKG for late boil and 75c whirlpool. Simple but delicious.
The recipe originally came from Graham Wheeler's book via @Cheshirecat on here.
Must be at least 20 yrs old now, bought for me by our then neighbours for Christmas.Nice mug though
After a long day kegging, bottling, and brewing, I’m having a Saison while setting up for tomorrow’s brew day. I’ll be starting a little earlier tomorrow because we’re going for a pub lunch.
