What are you drinking tonight 2021?

The alcohol free beer from the Tesco Brewdog/Cloudwater 4 pack.

The aroma is promising, but the flavour can only be described as dish water with a twist of lemon.
Pleased I tried it but I'd rather have a cup of tea if I was driving.

Just a taste of the Summer Breeze I kegged yesterday while I’m waiting for the sparge to finish (Czech Pilsner). It’s already nice!

Saaz & Auora Sasion

I’ve finished the 5L keg I had of this but luckily I still have a dozen 330ml bottles. I primed each of these with 2.5g sugar and it is a fair bit more carbonated than the keg was. Very dry with just a hint of underlying bitterness. Will need to brew another batch shortly.

Drinking a coffee porter whilst brewing a GH Nelson Sauvin pale . Cheers

I’ve all but given up on alcohol free beers I love the idea but the execution has always being lousy come to the conclusion that my best bet is a soda and lime.

After some suspected oxidation in a couple of beers I've sent out, I'm doing a side by side bottle versus keg with a pale ale I have on tap.
The bottle (on the left) was filled about 2 weeks ago and there's less difference than I was expecting.
The bottled beer is just half a shade darker. I might be imagining it but it also finishes rougher, compared to a smoother lingering hop flavour off the keg.

My Saison! Even persuaded the wife to have a glass, not told her its 7.4% though!

Summer Lightning ahead of brewing a Golden Ale on Monday. Always diligently researching me.

First bottle from my 11 litres of Saison de Cheshire Nord.
It just over a month old and tastes good.

First carbonation test of my Taras Boulba clone...and tasting as first attempt. It's only been in the bottle a week and although it has some carbonation it's nowhere near the 2.7vol target. Even has a little sweetness that maybe the priming sugar that's not fully fermented yet. Initial taste my thoughts are maybe slightly too malty and a little too dark so maybe just base malt only. Needs more IBU's for MK2.

@obscure @pilgrimhudd , how different can a Saison be?

Here's me Saison de Lancashire Oest (as Obscure would say) aka "Out in the Fields". Deliberately hazy and beginning to get that spicy Belle Saison kick behind the Saaz and Styrian Goldings.

Indeed! I have to say that when I thought of saison before I brewed mine I would have said it should look like yours though! Did you post the recipe for yours anywhere, I'd like some inspiration for another saison from you guys and @samale .

Starting off my evening with a couple of fruity numbers the first my own creation and the other a brilliant sour from Fierce Beer

Moving on to my kiwi pils.

@pilgrimhudd here you go fella...
Out in the Fields

A bit of Vienna and Munich in there but not much, so just a bit of colour. Wheat for the haze. This one dropped to 1.001 but it took two weeks to drop the last 3 points.

It's very different to my previous effort (which was very enjoyable), which I have to attribute to the golden syrup rather than sugar, the wheat, and slightly higher mash temperature. This one really has got a bit of body.

My Saison is pretty simple I initially made it because I purchased Auora hops on a whim, then needed something to do with them, as it’s described as a ‘super styrian’ a saison seemed the logical answer.

Personally I’m loving Saisons they are so straight forward to make yet (as long as you like the style) give great result.

Will probably play around with yeasts though as I have being sticking to Belle Saison to date but really like the flavour of Wyeast French Saison in the GH Bière de Garde I made, so definitely think the yeast can have a huge impact on flavour.

Cheers mate, both sound nice but I like the sound of your most recent one.

Similar here on the yeast front. I'd like to try a couple of different strains side by side.

Already have a half-baked recipe for a Black Saison up my sleeve too...

Yeah the yeast makes a massive difference, something I hadnt appreciated till recently.

Last bottle of Czech lager which I bottled off the keg a few weeks ago. It was a little short on the bottling volume and I thought it would be a little flat and may be oxidised as it was a lively bit of

bottling. It's actually tasting the same as it did off the keg
