What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Any good? I can't tell you how many times I've eyeballed this in Sainsbury's! My main concern is it's too sweet?

It’s in that space where it’s good enough for me to buy it again but not quite good enough for me to recommend!

Hope that helps!

I am just about to finish the boil now. I made some slight changes.
5kg Maris
1 kg Munich
500g carafa 3 cold steep in 3 litres of water overnight. This is added to the boil
15 g magnum @60
20g citra 20g Simcoe @10 mins
30g citra 30g Simcoe @ hop stand
50g of each dry hop.
Pia yeast

That's what I did

I’ve plenty of magnum but no citra or Sabro so will have to change the hops around a bit but a black ipa sounds good
Have a rare 5 days off next week so will get at least 3 brewed as stocks are low at the min.

What does the motueka add to it ? I have 200g of leaf hops here to try

That’s what I thought was weird! Like a Malibu sort of coconut in there! Not my cup of tea! Mind you I’m not a fan of coconut... won’t eat the dreaded Bounty

You know what... I have no idea! I’ve never brewed with either! The combination was just a bit strange

It’s listed as lemon and lime flavours so don’t think it would go down well with a coconut flavour hop. Not a thing I would aim to try anyway. Coconut should be in a raspberry ruffle not a beer lol

I completely agree! It honestly tasted like Malibu

Yeah my Riwaka and Motueka Pilsner tastes like lemonade.

Is that good or bad in a beer ? Shandy ?

I wouldn't say it's fancy..it's a home.made counter pressure. Made from a bottling wand/tube, Silicone bottle top and a bung. Which I connect to a growler tap piece. Then I have a splitter with a picnic tap on my had line to purge the bottles before fillingView attachment 43031

Brilliant I was watching different video's on YouTube last night. I can't justify 90 pounds at the min on the one Dan and Leon have.

Early try of my light pilsner pale with citra and cascade. This is nice

It's not bad at all, but possibly a bit sweet?

Now that looks nice

Haven’t had one of my Czech Pilsners for some time, maybe even a couple of weeks! Putting that right now.

Was looking forward to this but while the aroma is there from the citra and I can taste the ahtanum hops as described as earthy and citrusy,slight pineapple flavour and sweet from the marshmallows it is nearly flat tasting I appreciate this style has low carbonation but something in it makes the carbonation hard to find as it’s slightly slick in mouthfeel. A strange one but at less than £2 in Tesco it’s money well spent to say I’ve tried it but won’t buy another

I have looked at the filler they have and I prefer the look of it to the beer gun. What I have does the job and is easy to clean so while it's working I won't be rushing to upgrade. It's so easy just to replace with the growler filler and off you go.

If you are bottling to drink within a couple of days I have connected some silicon to my intertap, run it to a party tap and then a length of silicon to the bottom of the bottle. Works ok. Obvs won't be using that method any longer.

Nothing for me tonight. I had planned a few and even stocked up the fridge with some new Tesco beers but still wacked after the ***. Ready for bed.

First or second? Had my second last wednesday and Thursday was a complete write off.

First. Had it a week ago but still suffering.

 

[Donegal john]

Now that’s a bit better. Vocation are pretty solid in what they produce

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Arghhh! Keg just kicked!

I do have another keg already conditioned and ready to go but I now need to plan in another brew-day.
