That’s right - but it’s a good enough dish to make from scratch.

But not a third. Irish Red loaded to set and forget fir 2 weeks, going to have a Summer Breeze instead.

I went for the fillet steak in the end - and a Guinness Beautiful!

Had the Zot tonight - so many beers, so little time!

A Woodforde's Wherry. It's been in the barrel for a month now so improving nicely.

The KBS is something else. Very high in coffee flavor and thick. It says chocolate but I don't really notice that. It's a high ABV brew and too expensive to buy regularly.

That's my HB Belgian Triple, 13.6% ABV, aged for eight months in the fermenter (7 months and 1 week longer than I wanted, technically). It's only been bottled for 5 days and it's pretty much half way to where it should be. I dosed the bottling bucket with a 11g dry yeast/1/4 C sugar starter (too much yeast I learned after the fact) plus 1/2 C priming solution. As is, it's good enough.

Got caught in the rain so decided to try waiting it out. Greene King IPA it’s surprisingly good.

Well after wrestling with trying to get the cork out and drying the floor from the spillage, it doesn't taste too bad.

Nine days off starts now!

Kicking it off with a quality control sample of my Muntons Flagship American Pale Ale

Still a bit young and yeasty but it's coming together nicely.

Followed by a big bottle of my Cali Helles (Helles brewed with California lager yeast).

The first bottle I cracked open was a dud, it hadn't sealed properly and was flat as a pancake! The second was much better, malty and lagery with a touch of honey. It could've done with a touch more carbonation too though.

My Speckled Hen clone is going down well, but something I have noticed I can't get beers clear like others do, despite gelatine and cold crashing.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Home again today and the first beer I went for is an English Bitter. We had a really nice couple of days in Folkestone so I reckon we’ll go again before long. It’s just on our doorstep too.

 

[LesTom]

First beer of my fortnight's holiday and I decided to crack open my Bluberry wheat, it's pretty good if I say so

 

[Griff097]

Loving this NEIPA from Windswept, I wouldn't term it a NEIPA though but it's an excellent bitter and hoppy IPA

I had a Neipa from a local micro and it didn't taste particularly hoppy, more IPA as you say, I've yet to taste a good example of the style.

Back in Wales and it's wet but who cares? Back on the HPA all grain copy in a Coors glass but again who cares?

My Summer Breeze kicked

So, a couple of days earlier than planned I’m putting my new keg of Summer Breeze on tap. This is the one with a mash hop addition, higher whirlpool temp, and an early dry hop for bio-transformation.

The colour is much the same but this first pint is more hazy than normal and there is a yeasty taste so I’m probably drinking part beer and part fallen yeast Ah well, I’m not sitting too far from the toilet!

It is aromatic but I’m not yet convinced it’s more aromatic. I think it might taste more fruity. More later when I’m not supping yeast!

What's the idea with mashing hops, does it work the same was as the boil and add bittering by adding so early in process?

 

[jayk34]

Next up, steam brew Imperial stout. Not really sure what to make of it. It's very drinkable but just not sure I would buy it again.

 

[Horners]

First taster of what is meant to be Ruby mild clone which I have brewed for outlaws surprise 40th wedding do. Its too cold and not carbed and looks like a glass of mud. Had hoped to bottle from keg tomorrow before holidays on Sunday. Ain't going to happen so it will get another 2 weeks and as we return day before party a hasty decision will need to be made at that point....
