What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[dave_77]

I thought sub-1010, possibly the hop flavour and the bitterness giving the impression of something more dry?

Possibly..it was ,40 ibu Calculated and the water profile was more towards sulphate so this may have added to it.

Next up my beer that's going into this month's competition. English golden ale brewed using the leaf hops donated by Anna. Summit and first gold

Lovely looking beer, really looking forward to feedback on this. My only other golden ale was a swap with Dan. His was dry hopped with citra so it's hard to compare

Time for the Gnome..

Sorry Jay, I’ve actually never read Greg Hughes so have no idea. I can tell you that my stout is lovely - to me at least!

Ah right, that answers my question will have to give your recipe a try. Love stout

I am brewing a porter tonight. I will get one sent up the road when it's ready

Proper Job to go with with prawn and coconut curry

Porters and stouts are my favourites too but I have been trying to educate myself to different styles. This post here lists the recipe posted by another forum member and modified for UK malts.

Edited: UK hops to malts.

I read that thread and notice that Anacou and yourself are experiensed brewers and I can add little in the technical department as it is not my way, I am more practical and do not paint by numbers, more by eperience.
I find Porters and dark beers benefit from longer mashing and boiling times, I can't say why, it's just what I have found.
I will leave you two to get on with the technical joshing.

Back away in the caravan. Tonight I drank the final two bottles of my Talus pale.

Brewed this a while back but too aroma and flavour have kept, maybe because it was in a cornie. Will be using Talus again

V2 of the dry stout. Very nice.

I value everyones input and experience as I'm definitely not an experienced brewer. I only have a few AG brews under my belt but @An Ankoù is definitely a VERY experienced brewer and had been really helpful with his time and experience with me via forum and personal messages.

Getting ready for the winter ? What recipe are you following ?

 

[samale]

@dave_77 shared a lovely bottle of the kernel India export porter. It's of BYO web site

 

[Dazzelknight]

Coconut stout is great, cant believe how well its turned out. Tastes like a bounty. No head whatsoever though unfortunately. I planned to have them tonight but forgot to stick em in the fridge.

Beer + Bounty ❤ any chance you can share the recipe

Sure! Just copied the page from my brew thread.

Essentially the below recipe, scaled back to 10l, with 200g oats and 200g lactose.

This time a coconut stout, scaled back to 10l i've copied this recipe LAB Coconut Porter | Beer Recipe | American Homebrewers Association but i couldn't resist the urge to tinker, I want it with more body than I think this one will give me so i'm adding in 200g oats and some lactose near the end of the boil! Hops remain the same. Dessicated coconut will be added after high fermentation ends (roughly 7 days) and then left for a further 2 weeks. Yeast will be good o'l us05 again.

Bookmarked Sounds like my kind of drink.

So the good bit is the taste is great, very very coconutty, but, and some others have also said the same, the oils from the flaked coconut mean that the head dissipates almost instantly which is quite disappointing.

a lovely fresh hoppy citrussy lemony pale ale from tge micro brewey i visited today

 

[dave_77]

It's the weekend
Wanted to try a Donzoko Lager for a while.
This is fantastic, says on the can it's moderately hopped with New Zealand hops..tastes great.

Went to Folkestone for the afternoon for a walk round and to enjoy the seaside. The weather was really hot most of the afternoon. Had some food in a beach front restaurant where I had a beetroot salad and a couple of beers from the Kernel Brewery. Nice.

Table Beer usually very good and very useful given the ABV when one has to think later in the day!
