3.8%, that's almost a night off.

That's Evil Buzz. He's a bad *******!

I thought that was Spanish Buzz?!

New glassware! I keep making wheat beers so I thought I may aswell have a glass to go with.

My wheat beers are all gone though so I've had to fill it with my Chinook, Mosaic, El Dorado pale.

My wife thought this was a commercial beer so I guess that's something

 

[Mrhandsome]

And a chocolate rum stout to finish the pre weekend drinking. Would want to get too squiffy...

You wouldn’t?

Another MJ AuPA but in a new glass.



Tried my MJ Stout last night and it was nice, in the kegerator in bottles at the mo' chilling but putting it somewhere dark and cool at the weekend as I have a bet with the other half that this won't last until October/November (she may win).

Depends how many you drink

Hahaha wouldn't!

Or is that shouldn't?

Trying some of my bottled beers. Really, the difference from the kegged beer is night and day. The kegged beer is sooo much better.

Parti-gyle mild ale 3.8% lacks abit of sweetness, but nice, light and refreshing.
will add alittle crystal malt on the second mash if I choose to brew that way again.

This is something I always wanted to know. Is keg beer superior to bottled beer. What is the difference

5l batch
900g Maris Otter
200g wheat
100g carared

1g Chinook @60 mins
3g Chinook @10
5g El Dorado @10
5g Mosaic @5

US West Coast yeast

Ferment for 2 weeks and transfer to secondary vessel with 2 pureed mangoes for another week. Then dry hop with 2g Chinook, 10g El Dorado, and 10g Mosaic for a week, and 100g hibiscus for 3 days.

That was the planned recipe anyway, I had an explosion when some of the mango clogged the airlock so I lost quite a bit and had to add more mango. I'm not entirely sure how it would have turned out originally, but the end result is good enough for me. I'd maybe add another mango to get the flavour coming through more, but I'm not sure how much I lost.

Caledonian Deuchers Clone (4.5%)

I have this in a 5L mini keg, and haven’t bothered to refrigerate, thankfully though weather has being a bit cooler this week, after a few weeks of drinking beers ice cold I’ve forgotten how good a beer can be at warmer temperature, lovely soft carbonation, hop flavour is largely aromatic with a bit of bitterness. Makes me look forward to the autumn when I can expect my beer to be reliably at ‘celler’ temperature in my utility room.

I think a lot of it is carbonation. I just whipped the CO2 out of my bottled plum porter and got something far better at the end - more like the kegged beer.

I think @Hazelwood's are King Keg's, so more like PB's. Is that correct?

Yes, that’s right. The pressure release stops me over-carbonating!

Tonight Matthew, I'll be drinking a bottle of Wolf Rock by Sharp's.

I thought I'd buy it because I've never tried it before. To be honest, it's a bit meh .

I think I'll have to follow it up with my Guinness clone or some dark lager (pilsner with a small addition of crystal).

Ive largely being put off pressure barrels by all the horror stories you hear on them but I confess I can see the appeal for really low carbonated English ales.

That's what I had today - minus the mango and hibiscus. The original beer smelled so good fermenting before the extra additions that I had to try it again without them. Both are great!
