Must be the Barleywine - reaches the parts...

Ooh it went down very nicely, contemplating a Rochefort 8 now but it's my last one

What strength are you chatting to be classed as a dipa

Bcjp would have an opinion but I look North of 8%

I'm on the commercial stuff now until my Golden Ale carbs and conditions, and I bottle my 2 Belgian Strong Honey ale thingies and let them carb / condition.

As I had no reason to go to a big shop today, as we only needed a few bits and bobs (bread, onions, some cheese, etc) I was limited to the Coop local in our village. So Ive had a Coop Triple Hop (brewed by Robinsons, not bad), a couple of Shipyard IPA's (nothing special, fairly typical Marstons new-world-a-like offering. Purists may shudder, but if all mass produced commercial ale was this good the world would e a better place and a lot of 'craft' breweries would have to up their game) and a Marstons Old Emprire IPA (a much underrated session beer IMHO, despite its 5.7% heft. Hoppy, but it doesn't sandpaper your taste buds off with hops so you can sink a few).

Sun's out, guns out!

Time for some gardening which calls for some refreshments.

A bottle of my second my second batch of wheat beer to start. I fermented this at 20°C and carbed it more heavily than my 24°C wheat. The carbonation is better on this one, but the 24°C tastes better (not by much though). I also put them in 660ml bottles so I can taste one 330ml glass without yeast and one with.

I've been exiled from the house whilst my birthday cake gets baked in readiness for tomorrows festivities.
As the suns out I thought a cheeky saison would help pass the time.

It was mine yesterday I got a custard slice cake. Unreal,

 

[dan125]

Looks lovely.
Due to Lockdown ingredient restrictions I think I'm getting a Victoria sponge

 

[Mrhandsome]

That custard slice looks good!

I tried to buy the wife some rekorderlig yesterday so I have someone to drink with on my long weekend. Her reply...

'No I can't drink I'm getting fat because of this lockdown'

She then proceeded to make some brownies.

Oh well, now I have beer and brownies.

In the middle of making a new saison and sat down for a few minutes with a pint of my hazy IPA. No, it isn’t the wrong photo!

Rebranded now as my Lemondrop Pale Ale.
