Where has Dave been living the last couple of months

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Another stout.

 

[dave_77]

Altbier for me..I like this style. Well the one commercial version I have managed to find and my brew. I think I will brew again.

Haha yeah been over here for a while now. Unfortunately the only UK brand I can find out here are sam smiths and a few fullers options. I do pick them up on occasion.

I have a best bitter carbonating now and should have enough of a back log in a month to stop drinking this mostly disapointing professional stuff.

Well atleast you brew and you can make your own English styles whilst getting fresh American beer.

And you can get German hops that we can't even get in the UK anymore thanks to Brexit

Really interested in this one. I have a Munich dunkel lined up next. I might give this ago when the fridge is free. Is that on keg

Yeah it's kegged this one. Been interested in the style for a while. I went on the more bitter end of the style , preferring it to the Czech Amber Lager that I brewed. It's from the Brewing Classic Styles book.

I have most of the ingredients in stock

 

[dave_77]

Drinking a imperial Brown stout from @beerison . I have had this for a month or two conditioning as instructed. 8.8% abv. It looks as clear as a dark brown beer can look, soft carbonation. Roast and fruitiness with a little alcohol aroma. Soft roast flavours, a little sweetness from the alcohol.

I'm gonna leave it to condition for another week before I bottle some but I will send you a bottle at the end of the month.

I have a few lined up to send in return. I am really enjoying the Saison with hallertau Blanc. I have a Belgian pale cold crashing that I added the dregs from a couple bottles of Orval

Digging into the back catalogue this is my Brett Saison brewed using wlp670.
I seem to really struggle with this yeast to get good carbonation

Saison with Blanc sounds an interesting combo. I noticed that you mentioned about wyeast 1214. I have never used this yeast, how are you finding it? Is it fairly neutral and does it attenuate well?

It attenuates well but is seriously slow at starting. I mean maybe two days before you see any activity. It's a nice yeast very subtle flavours, I kept the temp at the mid range around 20.

 

[Ade McDade]

A nice pint of Woodforde's Wherry brewed from a kit.

 

[Pennine]

Trying out another cashmere pale ale. Still not very happy with it. I might try to brew a small batch with just 1450 to see if it's the yeast or cashmere hops that I don't like.

I opened a bag of the most amazing smelling citra I have ever had. I might get a second brew going with an all citra IPA soon.

Mmm don't like slow starters ..I had heard that and it put me off using it.

It’s time for a beer. The brew-shed cooling is doing a great job

It took a long time and 200 pints ruined by heat last year before I finally took the decision but now I’m happy I did.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Another of the same while I chill down a fresh batch to go in the fermenter.
