Expensive bottle of Reisling from Alsace a case of which arrived as an essential item from Davy's wine merchants today and a pint of my latest "Double Gold" - Golden promise/ first gold bitter which after only a few days in the keg is clearing nicely and has attained nice cask level of carbonation. Was meant to be a dry day today but the wheels fell off the home schooling for both kids today. Also knocked up a nice 5lb piece of gammon left over from Easter, glazed with Cumbrian wholegrain mustard, demerara and marsala.

My Greg Hughes dark wheat that I did with 1g of kristalweizen yeast and 0.5g of kolsh yeast in a starter the night before. It tastes exactly like cream soda. I don't like cream soda. I'm going to try a different wheat yeast next.

I love cream soda!

Could you post the recipe? Please and thank you.

OG: 1.060 FG: 1.013 ABV: 6.2% 66.7c mash. I bottled 24 litres.

Yeast: took 1 litre of 1.020 wort runoff and put in 0.5g of kolsh and 1g of kristalweizen that got 24 hours on the stirrer while the wort no-chilled.

I've had the ice-cream taste from the kristalweizen yeast before but at normal pitch levels and I've liked it then, but this time it's horrifically creamy. At bottling it tasted more like a nice bitter so loads of the flavour seems to have happened since bottling. You could use a simple 50/50 pale/wheat recipe and I bet you'd get exactly the same taste.

I'm not on Instagram, but always up for a HB bottle swap if you fancy trying the Vic secret pale.

None of that around my part of the world. Sounds good
They tried it on Belfast last week but the Cops knocked it on the head. Licencing Laws are different (arcane, stupid) over in Norn Iron. Brewers can home deliver eg. Northbound on Derry but can't sell from their premises. The Bars can't do anything though I see the Cosh Bar here s selling Cocktails on a collection basis along with food.

The bars have applied for a shop sales license of some sort so they can
