What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[Clint]

Next another from Hopsteep...a stout that to which the recipe has gone missing!
As you can see it pours with just a little head! Only joking! It's fantastic...thick and luxurious and remains like a big blob of off white ice cream!
It's a "sense" bomb! Coffee and choc aroma,a firm bitterness and quite a dry finish which I like. Tastes of coffee and bitter dark chocolate...it's quite highly carbonated (for a stout) I think,but this isn't detracting from my enjoyment.
I know it's "recipe lost" but I'd like to know it...with a "C" dry hop this would make a nice American style stout...more great flavour coming through as it warms..the head is still thick and creamy half way in...and has turned a nice tan colour! The dryness still comes through...I like this!
Hopsteep says it had "speciality" malts and as said,lost the recipe..so a bit of a conundrum...but I'm leaning towards more than an Irish stout,if that sounds right! As I said I recon some cascade or centennial late on maybe would be in American stout territory..
All in it's a complex,tasty,big,in your face beer! Find that recipe and tinker...
I've an inch left in the glass and there's still a thick,rocky head!
Cheers!

While I’ve got a Pilsner glass out, a pint of my Czech Pilsner. The keg is about to finish on this. I do have another keg but I suspect that will go at the family BBQ so I need to get my expanded fermentation cabinet up and running.

Just finished prepping for tomorrows brew day. Grains and hops weighed, water additions completed for first time for GH Northern Brown Ale. Now having a few of my brown porter which is really coming into itself.

Going for my Greg Hughes European lager - a touch undercarbed and a hint of chill haze, but nice and crisp and refreshing taste

Just bottled an imperial stout. Giving this founder's porter a try. Sweet chocolate and very light coffee aroma. Lovely mouth feel and a nice level of bitterness to cut the sweetness from the malt.
This is nice

I do need to get a brown ale brewed, it's been a long time.

Time for a Summer Breeze, just need a bit of Summer to go with it

Now moved on to my Witbier - really enjoying this one

This is a first for me @dave_77 American brown ale.
Pours as expected brown with a nice off white almost tan head. Carbonation is perfect.
Aroma: sweet malt, I can pick the brown malt which for me is a unique aroma and flavour. Light pine
Flavour: nice body on this. Well balanced between the brown malt, sweetness and the piney hops.

Really enjoying this beer. Your beer is always of a high standard across multiple styles. This is no different, thank you for sharing

Cheers for the comments, glad your enjoying that one. Im happy with it and I'm pleased with the hop combo as it was the first time I have used Galena.
Just kegged a Talus & Mandarina White IPA today.
Just finished brewing a Saison hopped with Crystal, EKG and will be lightly dry hopped with Lemondrop and then bottle conditioned with Brett.

Your a busy man
My latest Belgian is cold crashing, just looking what to brew next from the supplies I have. I might make an attempt at making my own Candi sugar for a Belgian dubbel. I will need to buy a cheap non stick pan incase I ball's it up.

I’ve been a bit absent over the last few days, thankfully because the social scene is starting to open up. Friday was homebrew club, Saturday was pub day (we spend the day at the pub), yesterday we visited friends and I took a couple of litres each of pale ale and bitter.

Next weekend might be busy too, we have another pub day planned (different pub), and we have a family BBQ planned - looks like the weather should be good for us

Have the bottles been shaken? Or is the head normal mine look flat

I’d not long filled these bottles from tap so the head was still settling down, give it a few minutes and these would look flat too. You do get a small head on the beer when poured from the bottles into a glass.

I've a few of these from Tesco for later...found some club card vouchers in the cupboard..had to add...wait for it....10p!

I bought myself a small collection too, to help eke out my own stocks while I’m not brewing.
