What are you drinking tonight 2020.

[samale]

Trying out a kolsch I made for my brother. After drinking the Belgian beer this is like going from eating wagyu steak to eating mince.
I had to give it test

 

[samale]

The kolsch got sacked. On to my Munich bock. This is really nice. Only two weeks in the bottles it should get better

A busy day today. Brewed one historical bitter, did one load of washing, cooked a large chicken curry, baked two loaves of bread and got my bait ready for fishing tomorrow.
So tonight drinking a long neck of Best Bitter, will probably make that three. Is there anything better.

I wasn't going to drink today but I feel like celebrating after tasting this NEIPA sample I've just bottled.

Now all I need to do is pray it stays this colour and tastes just as hoppy when it comes to drinking it.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Due to my legendary bottling skills I’ll be having half a pint of pale ale

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I did manage to pour the rest but this ale would put most gassy lagers to shame!

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

After all that excitement I need something to calm my nerves - Saison!

Edit: Actually, I think it’s a good job I have another batch on the go, this one is past its best now. Not bad though given there is only about 3 pints left.

 

[Mrhandsome]

Decided if it's just going to be one beer today it might aswell be a good strong one.

So I've cracked open a new weizenbock 8.1%

 

[Mrhandsome]

A bit muted to begin with, I poured it straight from the fridge because it's fairly heavily carbonated. Now it's warmed up in the sun it's pure banana aromas and raisiny sweet wheatiness. Creamy head and mouthfeel and the barest hint of alcohol. I'll try to save a bottle for the next dark beer competition.

Good theory. In reality because it’s s good one you’ll enjoy it and have three!

Edit: I’m a pretty laid back guy and not much gets my goat but the automatic spell correction! It changes any number of simple spelling errors into completely different and irrelevant words but is happy to accept “s” instead of “a”. In what universe does this make sense, when is “s“ ever a perfectly good substitute for “a” as an indefinite article?!

Edit 2: PS I realise it would have been quicker to just change the “s”!

Halfway through, engage party mode!

A pint of “chilled” Galaxy/Citra ale from the keg in a jacket. Last temperature report because the experiment is done now. Ambient 21.6, beer 15.5

 

[Fuzzy Growler]

This is different from barrier brewing in NY, experiment series hopped with Mosaic incognito and lupulin powder. Really intense hop characters without the overwhelming bitterness, sticky over ripe tropical fruits, slight sweetness and a nice balanced bitterness at the end.

 

[Mrhandsome]

Just finished my brewday, efficiency is up again. I'd put in 80% on brewers friend expecting about 82% max. Only went and hit 90% didn't I!!

I wanted a session beer damn it!

An Oslo lager will numb the blow.

Edit: I've just noticed there's 11l in my fermenter instead of 10l... Brewers friend tells me that's 99% efficiency, that can't be right. What is going on?

Titanic White Star (4.5%) Golden Ale

Inoffensive golden ale, nit something exceptional but a perfectly respectable session ale. A fair bit of bitterness but still,some nice fruit like traits.

@dad_of_jon 6.69% Orange Abbot.....
Fantastic beer, sweet and sticky, with orange zest notes, and the alcohol content is showing itself but personally I do like this from a beer rather than drinking something that tastes like juice. Love the labelling

 

[Cheshire Cat]

A pint of my Waggledance clone followed by Urquell clone.

 

[SamBrewster]

Box Mill Falls:

Looks better than it tastes...
