What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[Donegal john]

It was half price in Tesco and bitter as hell

 

[Donegal john]

This does exactly what it says on the tin and tastes of black forest but just a touch too sweet for me, very good though

Can’t go wrong with a white hag.

This was on offer on Tesco: glad to say I didn't pay full price for it, not that it's bad it's just a bit meh

American Amber while I wait for the brew to hit the boil.

I was saving this, my most favourite beer, fantastic stuff

Brewing another attempt at a hoppy Belgian pale..this time using Kazbek dry hop and Wit yeast.

 

[DavidDetroit]

Decent but I think the high ABV (12%) makes it more appealing (to me) than any other factor.

Do they make 'Smoke on the water' too?

 

[dad_of_jon]

Its g

I’m gonna stick my neck out here and say this is the nicest beer I’ve ever had! My first TIPA and my first 5 on Untappd! At 12% though it’s very dangerous! Doesn’t taste like it at all! It fills your mouth with flavour from the very first sip. It’s amazing!

It's great to find something that turns the dial to 12

I was thinking more of the Williams pinball. With the magna ball save... Will you challenge the black night again?

They do stairway to heaven... That's next... Fnar fnar

 

[dad_of_jon]

Last one for now stairway..

I haven’t had a pint of my Czech Pilsner for a long time so I’m going to put that right now. The Saaz hops are really nice but the cold is hurting my teeth

Might be back on the Bitter/Mild/Stout next!

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I didn’t really enjoy the Pilsner, more in a stouty mood I think

Is that beer haze or condensation?
My Czech Pilsner is maturing, 2 weeks after brewing but I doubt it will clear totally as I forgot to add the Protofloc at the end of the boil.
Doh!
If your's is typical, then I won't be concerned and try mucking around and attempt do anything to it. Probably better to leave it alone and not risk it going wrong by introducing something catastrophic.
What do you think?

It’s a bit of both. If your brew is based on my recipe then it’s definitely fine. If it’s your own recipe then it’s probably still fine.

Thanks for that reassurance.
I think I will play safe and not meddle.

Can't wait, as it's my first beer that is not an English Bitter or a Pale Ale iteration.
I suppose the main difference is just that it's Saaz hops only, really.

The grain bill is very simple and the yeast is more neutral but yes, the hops are quite different being noble hops. They are still quite fruity as you’ll see.
