What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[pilgrimhudd]

I was just having a kiwi pale ale v2, which isn't as good as v1 I dont think, it could do with being a touch stronger I think, but its quaffable in warm weather.

Glad you like it dave, it's probably my best pale ale, which to be fair isn't saying a lot. Hops are simcoe and cascade, I'll dig up the recipe later if you want.

Yeah be interested to see it. Liked the combo and the way it came across in the beer.

I’m starting tonight with a Summer Breeze. I haven’t had one of these for a few days so it’s long overdue

Looks lovely as usual.

I am hoping at some point I can join in the beer swaps with you all, but I think I might need more experience first to get my techniques right.

Wine no problem, beer, could do better lol. My latest one. Still not confident about it.

It looks lovely Lisa, what are you concerned about?

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

It went too dry so it’s not balanced enough really and it’s took away from flavour I think without the touch of sweetness. Damn kveik! I don’t think I will use that anymore. It’s not unpleasant though and great for my diet but still not really what I was going for.

Get stuck in! I’ve learned more from the feedback from other members than anywhere else. Sending out ones that aren’t quite right is a great short cut to nailing a recipe. Also consider entering a few comps for some more critical feedback.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Thanks Alistair. I do suffer with lack of confidence so I’ll reconsider.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Thanks Alistair. I do suffer with lack of confidence so I’ll reconsider.

I think you should as @Alastair70 suggested. Also consider entering the competitions, again you’ll get feedback.

If you’re enjoying your beer, others will too.

BBQ is almost ready, time for this offering from Beer52.

Thanks Alistair. I do suffer with lack of confidence so I’ll reconsider.

Expect only positive feedback from friendly swaps. Knowing what went well with a brew and what to think about next time is the best confidence booster

Had a Helles ( origin unknown) and then a Zmajska pale ale eating a smashing meal looking out over the Adriatic. The beer here has been quite good; even the bog standard local lagers are ok, in a bog standard kind of way. Had some great Croatian dark lagers as well. Overall, from a beer perspective, much better than I was expecting.

Unfortunately it's one of those nights but have a couple of events coming up so better be good! This one is bearable.

 

[Alastair70]

Beer52 APA no.2. Nicer than the Cosmo, and I’ve got Skynyrd in my head now, so win win!

I'm doing an english pale next, thts the sort of colour I'm going for, do you use crystal?

 

[Alastair70]

I'm not enjoying this one and life's to short to drink an under bittered pale ale that's been dosed with vanilla. Bleugh.
I'm pouring it out an going for something else instead.
No stars.

I had this on holidays I enjoyed it. Just remembered I never posted about it. I am not a massive lager fan, the hops added a nice flavour. Not as dry as a typical lager either, what hops did you use

 

[Alastair70]

Clearing the palate with an ESB. Fuggles - the taste of old men, cloth caps and despair.
Ahhhhhhh, everythings better again.

Four stars for the beer, plus a bonus star for its curative properties.
