What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Another bitter for me.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Now I’m sampling a bit of my latest brew too. It’s a citra and simcoe IPA. Nowhere near ready yet and there’s still a lot of yeast in suspension, but hopefully it’ll be ok in a couple of weeks.

The lighting is terrible but I think I’ve managed to almost capture what colour it is!

Edit: - I take it all back! I don't think this is gonna be any good. I can smell the oxidisation! Damn it Janet!

This is it but on the sheet I’ve made a small change in the quantity of roasted barley (from 40g to 20g) because I felt it was a little dark.

Edit: I’m planning to lift the bitterness a little next time too.

Hi H can I just ask you a quick question please when you make pilgrim bitter I notice you use some golden naked oats , do you crush them first or not as I’m using some in a hazy and am not to sure to crush or not to crush.. cheers

It doesn’t look oxidised are you sure that’s what you can smell?

I'm not really sure. How would you describe the smell? It's similar to another one I made that wasn't nice in the end.

Jim's beer is in the all-rounder which is better quality fermenter, and mine is in a fermenter king chubby. I'm pointing the finger at that at the minute, because they're renowned for leaking.

There's just something about it that's not quite right. Call it instinct lol

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

This is how it looks when it’s not held up to the light. Frankly I want to pour it all down the sink. But the husband won’t let me lol

Had the worst day today. This is the cherry on top.

Now I know exactly what you mean!

Here we go first of taste of cml 1864 amber it’s bitter but a nice bitter with other flavours which I can’t pick out but it’s good, this my Third cml brew all have been good View attachment 63995

By chance I’m drinking the same (well a sample from the fermentor, as I was kegging It). A combination of slightly higher than expected efficiency and some what higher attenuation than expected it comes in at a somewhat boozy 6.3% instead of the target 5.3% but even young and un carbonated it tastes pretty good so looking forward to trying it in about four weeks.

Ah yes, that does look like it could be oxidised.

Moving on from bitter I’m having a Summer Breeze next.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

The bottle conditioned ones I made were bloody good. This, not so much. The husband is so frustrating as he says there’s nothing wrong with it. He can’t smell what I can smell ugh! He can drink it all then lol

Oh dear hope tomorrow is a better day for you. I seen yours and had to pop to the shed to check on my one. Thankfully it’s grand.
it’s never easy to pour but it’s better than drinking bad beer
I discovered my keg has a small gas leak I can hear it popping and I had to top the gas up again there. Always something.

bet

On the bright side this is nice! I think I’m giving up brewing I suck lol

Yours looks amazing!

Yours looks amazing!

It’s not a bad drop but they are all one issue away from drain pours all the time
