I like a bit of variety and even with all these I still buy beers I haven’t got.

I love a project 😍, make sure you post loads of pictures. My brew-shed on a hot day like today feels very chilly inside 🥶
I have an 8m X 6m space to play with. The plan is a cabin and a paved patio area. Digger man is booked for June 👍

That's a decent sized area, this is the site for our new garden studio ( 6.m x 3.9m ).
I dug holes for all fifteen footings by hand ( approx 2' x 2' x 2' ) at the end of last year,
also had numerous tree roots to dig out first.
My mate and me built all the brick peers in a day, still got a couple left to do.
I've been building the timber frame as a kit over the last few months, plan is to fit the bottom plate and joists first
then get the frame up, put the roof on and get the outer ply skin on to get it weathertight.

That will be some job when it's done 👍
 
What a beautiful day it’s been today! Someone told me it’s been the hottest day in March for 50 years! Shame to let that pass without a couple of pints in the back garden! Just tucking in to my second pint of vic secret/citra pale ale. This is a great combo imho! Very morish!

I have the mash on for a Vienna IPA. I am using the new Talus hops. I am not sure what to pair it with. Hop selection
Mosiac
Cascade
Chinook
Sorachi ace
Citra

I am thinking citra and a bit of cascade
 
It's lovely the sun has come out and the temperature has risen, but I can't be the only one who cringes a little bit when shown a glass of clear hoppy beer in the sunlight.
 
First beer tonight comes courtesy of @Brewnaldo, a reciprocal Munich Helles bottle swap. The bottle opened with a satisfying hiss quelling any initial worries about carbonation. Medium golden colour, still a bit cloudy but is quite young so should clear with time and a good white head that dissipated over five or so minutes. Pilsner malt aromas predominate on the nose with hints of noble hops in the background. The taste malt forward, clean bready malt flavours predominate, bitterness level is spot on with well balanced German noble hops flavours. The length of favour is long, with a slightly sweet but well attenuated finish (if that makes sense, it did to me when I was drinking it). I could easily keep going back to the keg for a ton more of these. This was a great beer, well brewed and bang on style, cheers mate :hat: Carbonation levels have suffered slightly with transfer into bottles, I'm sure this is an absolute belter at your end.

Beer No.2 is a Munich Helles from Beer52 for benchmarking purposes. First comment, flavour profile is very similar to the first one, hats off again to brewnaldo for nailing the style. Mouthfeel is a little thinner, and the residual sweetness a little higher compared to the previous beer. It's an all right Helles, but there are better examples on the supermarket shelves and not one I'll be going to the Beer52 bottle shop for more of it.
