What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[Donegal john]

Sounds spot on. What hops did you use. I have just made a starter for my Belgian Trappist single. I plan to brew on Tuesday

Magnum chinook and Zeus forgot just how potent magnum are. I even managed to bottle 2 so get 1 up to you (finally)
Love a good Belgian.

Flensburger Dunkel

While I mostly bought it for the bottles it’s actually a rather nice beer now just got to get the labels off.

Had to move swiftly on to a WCIPA for something with a bit more backbone.
I have a couple of spare bottles of this if anyone fancies a bottle swap while its fresh?

Swap you a porter.

CLWB Tropi-Que? at 5.1%

The result of me trying some fruit juices and flavourings. I think this is worth pursuing, especially as I had to pry the glass from my wife’s grip.

...need to do something about that colour.

Cooper's stout. My last extract beer ever, well it might be. RIP Coopers :C

Starting this evening with a pilsner from Lithuania while watching the football. Absolutely fantastic beer for this category, there are better from Germany and Czech Republic but not many...

Switched to Flensburger Pilsner again for the bottles however sometimes it’s just nice to drink a nice uncomplicated Pilsner.

Looks nice......

Dark Kölsch. May have overdid it with the Munich and Carafa (and ABV) this time, but good.

Where do you buy them? I picked up a few when last in Germany a few years back, never seen them over here.

That sounds interesting. Do you have a recipe?

This is where I get my bottles: Beer Merchants | buy craft beer and real ale online . I get Flensburger sometimes, but Hacker Pschorr mostly.

Based-upon a dark kolsch from The Saint Arnold Brewery in Houston, Texas called Santo. This is the fourth or so time I've adjusted the recipe. They were coming out too brown before and I wanted darker. Went too far this time on the colour, munich and ABV!. BIAB (sorry about the formatting):
Water: 36 litres total
Grist:

• 6.0 kg Weyermann Pilsner, Crushed/Milled (3 EBC) DBCG 80% 3%MC
• 1.0 kg Weyermann Munich Type 2, Crushed/Milled (20-25 EBC) DBFG 78% 3%MC 2.2%FG/CG
• 0.4 kg Weyermann Carafa Special 3, Crushed/Milled (1,300-1,500 EBC) DBCG 65% 2.5%

Hop(s) and other added to boil:

• 100g Hallertauer Hersbrucker 2019 (A/A 3.2%) pellets, vacuum packed
• 20g Tettnang 2017 (A/A 3.7%) pellets, vacuum packed
• 6g Irish Moss

Boil Schedule:

• 60 minutes from finish - add 100g of Hallertauer Hersbrucker
• 15 minutes from finish – add 6g of Irish Moss
• 5 minutes from finish - add 20g of Tettnang (

Yeast: TWO Wyeast Activator 2565 Kölsch (14-15°C)

90 minute mash, 90 minute boil, Mash Temp 66°C. Target ABV 6.7% (really too high for a clone!) and target IBU 27

I bought it from Beer Sniffers it’s not the cheapest for larger (£2.29 a bottle)

https://www.beersniffers.co.uk/flensburger-pilsner/
A fair few online retailers sell it but all at similar prices it’s mainly worth it to me due to my fondness for .33L swing tops as while I think it’s a perfectly respectable German Larger I wouldn’t say it’s any better than what you can pick up in Aldi.

That looks great. I shall have to file this one for future reference. Thanks.

This makes a trip to LIDL worth it, a really cracking Porter

A second try of my American Citra IPA after 3 weeks, extra pale MO with Cara Malt - really enjoyed making and drinking this brew !
