Oh... I'm not sure, I suppose maybe it is ipa bitter but the maltiness balances it out? I really like it!

I’m shooting for something in between the two next time. It’s a great recipe and it’s one of my favourite styles. Enjoy

We are heading across in a few days time - are you on one of the islands?

I was off-line last night because we were out celebrating our grand-daughters exam results. Well deserved after all the work she put into studying. I was on the Samuel Adams all night which I quite liked, very malty.

I also took delivery yesterday of a gift for myself

For anyone in norn-iron Lidl have a couple of the bullhouse brewery cans in small axe and road tripping for £1.59 that’s half what gees etc normally charge. Derry has none this morning bu plenty in limavegas

there are also a few Belgian beers in stock triples and quads

Visited Little Valley Brewery for a mixed case and was treated to the sight of their neighbours stood on the roof pouring sacks of ingredients into their fermenters.

Not a big fan of their modern brews, but a pint of Bread and Butter in Hebden Bridge is just the ticket.

 

[ChrisM]

The aforementioned pint of Vocation Bread and Butter.

The weekend has started. Enjoying my Altbier

Got my Amber to keg tomorrow so I need one of kegs to kick.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

First pour of a Voss ipa with vic secret. Very nice and I brewed it a bit lower than max at 30c there was a slight orange taste from the yeast but it’s disappeared now to leave strawberry and Mellon finishView attachment 52462

Out of curiosity, what was the final FG? I used voss for my latest one and I got 95% attenuation at 1.002. Wondered if you had a similar result?

It's a hard life having to force yourself to empty a keg

 

[LesTom]

A bit lively but my 3rd version of a Cashmere hop SMaSH beer is a very tasty one

It went from 1.056 to 1.008 in 2 days

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Wow. Mine was similar but with a lower OG. Not sure what to make of it to be honest. It's way too dry for me.

I mashed slightly higher to compensate for low attunetation and added some wheat for body its not too bad on mouthfeel

I didn't think of that lol. I need to learn not to trust Brewfather's predictions. Silly me! I'll have to wait a couple of weeks to see if mine is any good. Just put it in the fridge today but it's quite cloudy so needs a while.

What was your ferment temp ?
last one I did with Voss At 40c finished at 1.004 and was thin and orangey but didn’t fit with the hops I used. This time I used different hop combo and fermented around 25-30 much nicer
Would be great to have hindsight in front of us lol

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

It would lol. I did it at 65 for the whole 60 mins. My last one was done at 68 and I thought it was a bit thick, so tried to reduce that a bit this time. I fermented mine at 36c. I think it goes up to 40c it's ridiculous. I used hothead by omega on my last one and I fermented that at 39c. It reduced daily though by itself. On the bright side I'll have temp control next time I start one.
