What are you drinking tonight 2020.

[ChilledGecko]

@strange-steve I've spent the evening so far going through your 'Beginners Guide to Water Treatment' (my RO unit arrives next week)
Only on page 18/53 but I have a fair few pages of notes that I've taken so far....
A clear precis of a complex area, chapeau, monsieur, chapeau! :hat: :hat:

That looks really good, not a million miles away from my Houblon-ish brew

What's the Houblon-ish? I have a few litres left of the Pale if you fancy a beer swap?

What's the Houblon-ish? I have a few litres left of the Pale if you fancy a beer swap?

It was an attempt to brew something similar to Houblon Chouffe, as below:

3.500 kg Pilsner
0.300 kg Granulated Sugar
0.150 kg Melanoidin
0.100 kg Caramunich I

5 g Magnum @ 30 Minutes
25 g Hallertau Mittlefrueh @ 20 Minutes
25 g Saaz @ 20 Minutes
25 g Hallertau Mittlefrueh @ 1 Minutes
25 g Saaz @ 1 Minutes
25 g Hallertau Mittlefrueh Dry Hop
25 g Saaz Dry Hop

Fermented with Wyeast 3522 - Belgian Ardennes

I wish I had some of these left to swap, but I'd love to try yours and I'm sure I have something else Belgian if you're interested? Maybe a bretted pale ale?

Hmmm that recipe looks interesting, I might have to give that a go.
Bretted Pale sounds great, my next brew I'm going to try the Orval clone recipe in 'Brew like a Monk'. Well I plan to split the batch and add the Orval dreggs to half the batch and compare the difference. Message me your address and I'll get a bottle in the post this week.

Latest brew is based on a beer I had at the start of lockdown. Cream ale grist with Crystal hops in the boil & Sorachi Ace dry hop,coriander & orange peel fermented with German ale yeast. Crisp easy drinking beer, orange aroma, lemon orange flavour..tasty but if I brewed it again I may reduce the orange peel a little.

First one today, a nice bitter. This one is my reward to myself as I jetwash the decking before I oil it.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I’m drinking more bitter but rather than show you another picture of my bitter I’ll show you the “last orders” bell on my bar - that bell has NEVER been rung!!

 

[Pennine]

out in sun, a bit dehydrated so im sipping away on my last Cali common. I like tettnang, and am going to use a bunch of it in my festbier I brew up next weekend.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

STILL on the bitter, now painting fences while the decking dries.

A pint of ordinary bitter (Big Lamp Clone)

Was a bit worried that the weather might be a bit warm to dispense this unrefrigerated but apart from being a bit of a pain to draw off from the corny keg this has proved very drinkable.

 

[ChilledGecko]

Busy day in the garden and brew shed.
Enjoying the last of the summer sun.
The boss is enjoying a summer cider of mine while I'm willing my latest lager to clear, the taste is there but will it clear, will it hell as like ☹
Still I'll persevere

Cloud Water Black is Beautiful (11%) Imperial Stout

This is dark, treacle like and heavily spiced, very much the kind of beer I love.

 

[marshbrewer]

Been for Sunday lunch with the good lady to a boozer on the wolds that was a proper drinkers pub back in the 80's but is a bit more refined now. Pint of Theakstons unpasteurised keg Pale ale. Ok, but a bit dull. Then a real ale, a pint of Great Newsome Sleck Dust, which was nice as a session ale or with food. Nice and refreshing, bit not a huge amount to it.
