What are you drinking tonight 2021?

Picking a beer that sums up my week

 

[Fuzzy Growler]

I’m not sure about this DDH DIPA. For a start there are too many initials! It’s quite intense and again while being nice doesn’t really taste like beer (to me). One nice thing about this beer is that despite the really intense hop flavour there’s no hop burn so hats off for that. As I’ve been drinking it it’s grown on me and is nearly finished in the time taken to write this post, and it’s 7.8%

Don’t tell anyone but so did I.

I like it, probably

This perfectly summarises my sour experiences!

Three of these are in my favourites.

I have never had a schwarzbier or a doppelbock. Looking forward to brewing them

The Doppelbock is a malt monster!

Was going to be a Festival Winter Spiced Ale but the keg gave that distinctive hiss of an empty keg, so instead a glass of Summer Breeze (such a hardship).

I have been researching the recipe, one of the things I like about trying new styles.

This next. Quite assertive bitterness but I quite like that. A cornucopia of hops in this one.

Yeah, me too. My first Doppelbock is coming on nicely and is starting to settle down a bit - I thought I might have overdone the maltiness for a while.

Trying on of the supermarket beers next. Lost cosmonauts, never fails. Really nice ipa

I searched the forum it's not a very popular style. I had a look at your recipe. What yeast did you use, did you build it up

I made a starter from dried MJ M54 California lager yeast. I only made it the day before so yes but not like a cultured yeast.

I rehydrated it and added it to a litre of 1020 wort. I gave it a vigorous shake every few hours through the day and the next day I tipped away all but a little wort and the yeast that had settled at the bottom. I then swirled the yeast and dregs of the wort at the point I pitched it.

My plan is to use the yeast cake from my Czech pilsner. I have wyeast 2278 in the fridge. Probably get the starter on Tuesday

3Ravens Brewery salted caramel milkshake IPA. Very nice, great aromas and aftertaste, quite sweet. Balanced off with tonight's "well too hot" shawarma!

I need to invest or make a stir plate

No, just a 2 litre coke bottle.

Probably the last for tonight, this King of hop is a bit more traditional in taste being hoppy in the old sense of the phrase - 5g /l I still like it (I’m such a beer tart!).

Reminds me of the joke of the boy telling his mate about a girl he used to know called chip's and beans.
He asked why did you call her that ?
Because she goes with anything
