What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[Pennine]

It was WLP500.

I’ve also used Mangrove Jacks M41 yeast, that finishes more dry and I got lower levels of esters from it.

That's Chimays yeast I think 530 is Westmalle. I really like them both probably because of the banana. Pick up a chimay blue from Tesco and see if it compares.

Having a mid week few drinks and then out for a bite to eat and a few more beers.
well it is a special day

 

[Donegal john]

Most bars just have the generic choices and have done since I started drinking, 25 years ago! If you want, I can give you a list of the bars worth visiting, for the next time you visit.

That would be great. We tried biddles and the wife wouldn’t walk to woodworkers one case it was packed

QC on the wheat beer bottled last week...yup, its carbed and tastes nice and smooth. Subtle aromas,getting soft floral from the hops and feint banana. It needs longer carbing I think and another week for another sample but it's drinkable. Head faded quite quickly to a bubble ring round the glass but it's maintained by the steady stream of bubbles from the carbonation.

Enjoying the last of the sun with a Munich Helles, rebrewed with Mittlefruh this time. 4 weeks in keg now it’s hit its stride perfectly.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

English bitter. I have it on good authority it’s what all cultured Italians have with their meatballs al forno.

 

[Donegal john]

Spoilt for choice with this lot

Dregs from fv of a pilsner smash brewed with cml no1 Voss at 35c then free fall took 48 hours cold crashed overnight now in at 20psi, I used 100gr of saaz most late on it’s got a lovely smell and I can taste orange from the Voss but I am rubbish at discribing ale

In the meantime I would say this is my favourite gin, from just outside Bassenthwaite. Its actually a malt whisky place iI have some kind of founders share in and they send me a bottle each year etc ( the whisky, someone gifted me the gin)

 

[Alastair70]

Back inside and commercial example for comparison purposes. Overall, very similar in taste and body. Very happy with the beer I made. The Erding brewery version is a touch brighter. I went with a balanced water profile to accent the malt profile but next time might push the SO4 up a notch. I‘m 90% pilsner malt, 8% Munich II and 2% melanoidin. I think I win on colour and overall flavour. Next batch is already queued up for end of June, will push towards 1:1.5 on the Cl:SO4 next time.
House lager almost locked in!

Sounds ace but don't tell us how you made it.

 

[Rodcx500z]

Enjoying a glass of my user upper from a keg at room temp and lightly carbonated it is a noble ale

Sugar, molases, water, and bread yeast lol.

 

[Turbo_ciders_for_all]

Not sure what to have really...

 

[dad_of_jon]

Well I'm a lasy barsteward when it comes posting beers drunk seeing as I'm so focused on enjoying them but I managed to take a pic of my starter for 10. This was followed by a duopolis, a triple karmeliet then a duval. Maybe ending the evening with a no10 impy stout.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Another bitter. English character, low carbonation, malty with just a touch of bread crust, copper brown colour, good clarity, typical Fuggles flavour. Exciting and at the same time understated.

 

[Alastair70]

Just got room left for an American Amber, early start tomorrow so this is my last tonight. Another balanced water brew, and I’ll be sticking with that profile going forward. Toasty malty perfection; 52% MO, 38% Munich, 10% crystal. Columbus to bitter, and Columbus/Amarillo at whirlpool and dry hop. I really like this one.

 

[Leon103]

A riwaka pale. Needed something cold but the kegerator fridge is cooked and won't go below 15c.

 

[Tanglefoot]

Nice dry Czech lager from M&S with pilsener malt, hopped with Zatec ( new to me, similar to Saaz I think )
Went down well with a burger
