What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[DavidDetroit]

I had literally just poured it but all the head went after a couple of minutes

Some of that could have to do with your grain bill. I get good lacing throughout but head retention, not so much.
Does it feel undercarbed?

When you kettle sour it like you're talking about, the boil comes after that which kills off the bacteria. Perhaps you ate something dodgy that day lol

This was fermentors soured I believe, that's the two methods he mentioned.
I couldn't remember the terminology.

As I understand it, when you fermenter sour, which is what Hazelwood and I did, the yeast produces lactic acid so there's no bacteria involved. Someone will probably tell me I'm wrong lol

I would like a bottle swap to try yours sounds like it may be more subtle, this was a homebrewed version at a beer club and everyone else was giving it rave reviews, the guy was a professional brewer previously and the guys present were mostly judges in beer comps, anything else I try would be a commercial version, but my face was screwed up in a sherbert sort of way. Nearly spat it out Lol
Apparently there are two ways of souring the beer and one leaves a live bacteria, I think that gave me a bad stomach for days after as well!

I’ll put you on the list. PM me your address.

early doors at the local, a pint of Bradfield Farmers Blonde and a pint of TT Landlord

I’ve spent the afternoon sweeping up two wheelie-bin loads of leaves so I think I deserve a beer after that. Summer Breeze. Happy Friday folks

I was too busy with my brew day to bother with leaves...I watched my mother in law sweep them up.

Yes it does

On of these next because I’m cooking dinner for teenagers - no time to go to the bar and pour a drink!

 

[The-Engineer-That-Brews]

Been tough day emotionally and feeling a bit wrung out to be honest - need a beer to cheer myself up (yes, I know that's not very healthy but it's true)

My experimental "Best-ish Bitter": almost-a-SMASH with MO, a bit of crystal, WGV and OYL-111 German Bock. Tastes good to me - might need to have another just to check though...

 

[EsterBanana]

BeerWorks Redneck Superior Double Indian Pale Ale @ 6.7% - it's a cracker!

Still a little young in the bottle, but it's delicious, the grapefruit seems most prominent at the moment, but lime, passion fruit and other tropical fruit (maybe pineapple? maybe mandarin? a hint of mango there in the background?) are all present and correct. It has a slight astringency and bitterness in the mouthfeel which I happen to like, I am putting this down to the high alcohol content. Other than that it is far too easy to drink - super!!!

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Having a sneaky half before we go for the son. (I’m not driving).

My strawberry milkshake IPA. Not the nicest thing I’ve ever made but it’s certainly not bad - and I’m super impressed with myself that I didn’t oxidise it. Winner!

 

[The-Engineer-That-Brews]

Yep this one seems OK too - but you can't be too careful eh?

I think that one has a fly in it - perhaps you’d better try again

First check on my take on a Hobgoblin Gold type. Not quite clear yet, and needs a little more carbing, but tastes really good.

 

[EsterBanana]

Did someone say try that one again.... oh go on then, second one is exactly the same as the first, spot on!!

It's like drinking liquid grapefruit

 

[micklupulo]

Back in Wales and came over to see Australian Pink Floyd up in Llandudno on Tuesday which was pretty good and now enjoying a Yorkshire AG bitter out of a masterpiece of a bottle from Orkney.

 

[Rogerh]

On to my Best Bitter. Been in the keg about a month now. Smooth, malty, with a nice, for my taste, level of bitterness.

 

[Rogerh]

Those last two are the first that I have used my new kegerator for. Worth the money, a huge upgrade on PB's, although I will still use them for some brews. It is nice to be able to pour a beer at 'cellar temperature' I have mine set at 12c, which seems about right. I now brew to 21 litres, keg, and get about 3 500ml bottles, which also fit in the kegerator when carbed. It's seems to have taken my brewing to another level. Happy? bet I am.

 

[Griff097]

Another nice hoppy tipple Variation on a theme at the Mess Room, very nice, citrussy finish.

 

[StoutWolf]

Oatmeal stout brewed back in spring and overlooked in a dark corner of the beer store until recently. Going to wish I had another keg when this one kicks!
