What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[samale]

Earlier had a NEIPA (Simcoe & Citra) from @samale . Nice pale colour ,no sign of oxidation
It had a decent head which stuck around till the end. Hop aroma was subtle pine, didn't get much of the Citra. Mouth feel was smooth with a typical NEIPA body with a light bitterness.Flavour was more Simcoe than Citra.
Well brewed and packaged beer, easy drinking. Maybe a little lacking in hop punch as the fruity/citrus flavours weren't as strong as I was expecting. Very nice beer but just needed a little impact from the hops. Thanks for sharing

I wasn't sure on this beer. I seem to struggle with hop aroma when brewing a Neipa. Also that beer is a raw ale, no boil no chill

Interesting..I wouldn't have known about the raw element. Maybe that could effect how the hop oils take up, I don't know much about the raw beer process and things could change compared to a boiled wort

In general I struggle with that style boiled or not. I just checked a pale ale with a fraction of the same hops. It has loads more aroma and flavor.

Last for tonight. Keezer build tomorrow and need to have my wits about me.

Hmmmm . interesting. Can't help with that, If other styles are getting a stronger hop profile not sure what the difference would be as it wasn't oxidised

Little scotch to finish the night

This is nice.

El Dorada IPA, brewed by @phildo79. Weighs in at 9% and brewed with the Pliny The Elder water profile and its eye watering SO4 addition. Fantastic beer, the hops, malt and bitterness are all balanced. The bitterness is surprisingly subtle and soft, the high ABV is in no way apparent, the mouthfeel is soft with a great length of flavour.
Excellent brew, thanks for sharing it :hat:

Hmmm, something has gone wrong

Alright, definitely last one for tonight

I occasionally indulge in a half whole brewing but on the whole large amounts of boiling liquid and alcohol probably not a good mix.

As for your beer a true southern English pint with a head like that.

Hi @obscure,
Sage words.
I had similar thoughts, and did drink with food and spread over the brew evening.
I was a professional chemist in my day, so do have a strong instinctive attention to safety related procedures.
All went well in the end.
See my 'what are you brewing today' if you're interested.
It was a stuck mash Pilsner attempt.

That looks like a snowball!

Is this the same beer you sent @Alastair70 ?

 

[jayk34]

A quick quality check on IPA on a break from putting together keezer. Still a bit murky but lovely citrus aroma and taste with just right amount of bitterness.

Time for a beer. Got a bag of beers from the youngest for my birthday. So we thought we’d try this from Mikkeller.

 

[Rodcx500z]

At Austell salute it’s bloody good, another from cml not had a bad one yet, at 4.5% a great one for long hot summer days and a barby

 

[Rodcx500z]

Think I will be having a few more of these before they day is done

Another one from the son.

I reckon you'd enjoy it! It's medium sweet I'd say. Not as sweet as Brewdog layer cake and such.
