What are you drinking 2024.

[6Trails]

Really pleased with this. Was drinking the one above mainly because it's one of my favourite beers and I wanted a direct comparison. This one of mine has Centennial and Riwaka with a little Simcoe and more than happy with it.

 

[SMP Brewery]

Klarstein Mundschenck for its first ever brewday tomorrow.

Good luck

And now a very dependable Oakham Citra.

 

[SMP Brewery]

Rusty Red IPA

 

[Druss]

Good luck

Cheers

It's a bit daunting since I've only ever done one gallon BIAB on a portable stove, feels like I'm finally doing it 'properly' now but I'm sort of dreading something going awry!

Continuing with the Doom Bar goodness...

I used to drink 2 or 3 £10 bottles of a wine a week. I’ve realised why I stopped drinking wine when after I picked up a couple of pricier bottles (voucher from a very happy patient went on 4 bottles instead of a case). Now I’m thinking one or two like this a month is a very acceptable outlay, and I’m still quids in. Drink yourself rich!

I shall have to make a visit to Tanners to see if I’m able to taste the difference between a £10 and a £25 bottle, I’ll not tell the wife.

Doom Bar gets a bit of a slating on the forum last time it was discussed i said they used to have it at my local and it was a good pint.

 

[Donegal john]

One of these to get the taste for it. The rum is definitely at the forefront

 

[Chippy_Tea]

Something different tonight.

 

[Leon103]

A west coast dark lager to start the evening

 

[Leon103]

A stunning superdelic pale ale from @dan_125

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Home again with a carry-out or six. We had a good evening at the tap room, they had an old rocker playing some music and to be fair he wasn’t bad. Anyway, I’m on Trigger and my wife is on toffee-apple cider.

 

[Leon103]

On the pils next

It would be good to see a rundown of how your brew day went. Don't be intimidated, all in ones aren't that hard to use but I am interested to know how you cope with your first brew on this particular unit.

 

[Twostage]

At the tap room (Musket Brewery). I’m having a Fife & Drum, my wife is having a rhubarb cider. Food wagon due shortly

Interesting, what was the rhubarb cider like ?

 

[Twostage]

I need to try and recreate this, or something like it, some day soon. Centennial is the business.

I'd try doing it as a SMASH with just Vienna. I made a Chinook/Vienna SMASH and it was brilliant. (I was going to say even though I say so myself but others agreed).

I didn’t try it but my wife said it was fairly sweet and fruity but also subtle. She said it was very nice.

A pub that has its own onsite brewery.

Yes, I can imagine it giving it a nice sour twang. We grow rhubarb (or more correctly it grows in our garden) so I might make one.

1 of 5. CF310. These beers are the same base, small whirlpool of Harlequin and 7g/l dry hop of the test hop after fermentation.

The official description says strawberry, red fruit, woody. I can sort of get strawberry but it doesn’t have much residual sweetness - maybe you would accentuate that if the beer was designed for this hop. It is interesting.
