What are you drinking tonight 2022?

Sometimes I think I'd like to do bigger batches. But best not, I think. Bigger batches equals more avoirdupois. The catastrophic damage that would result if anything went wrong manhandling a big batch makes me work a little more conservatively. I could injure myself and/or wreck my kitchen. I'm not risking that.

Italian pilsner for the football

Bottle of my golden promise hoppy beer

First tasting of my kiwi pilsner v3, looks the part, slightly undercarbed, nice bready aroma with a hint of lemon. It's quite bitter, too bitter for a pils if I'm honest. But, the more you get into the pint the nicer it gets. Pretty pleased with this one.

What hops did you use?

 

[Nottsbeer]

GH Cornish Tin Miners Ale...very nice pint, just lacking a head!! Still quite young do may develop over time.

On to my Belgian pale

What hops did you use?

Magnum to bitter, southern cross for flavour, it may be that the lemon flavour makes it seem more bitter.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I just saw someone on TV with a pint of Pilsner and fancied one myself.

Interesting..been looking at Southern Cross for a Hoppy Belgian pale

Think it would work if you used the right yeast, a punchy one. Mind you I just checked my recipe and it did come out at 42 ibu.

This was the recipe for 19l.

4kg pilsner
1 kg vienna
Mashed at 62c for 90, sparged and brought to boil.
15g magnum
10g southern cross @60
15g southern cross @ 10 and 1/4 tab of protofloc
40g southern cross, hopsteep at 70-75c for 30 mins.

After karchering the yard I deserve this wilko thirsty Red Devil I have said it before for a kit tweaked with dme and gervin yeast it’s very good

 

[micklupulo]

I am grateful to Mangrove Jack for inspiring a new year's resolution I will be able to keep. No more kit beer! This is their pils which at 7 weeks is still not very inviting.

 

[micklupulo]

My resolve has not wavered despite this Dark Rock Session Aussie Gold being rather better.

Tonight's brew is this Excitra Golden Ale from Pheasantry Brewery. Good bright colour. Pleasantly bitter, but wouldn't know there was citra in there, no aroma or hoppy taste.

A red festbier from @DocAnna

Really, really nice beer. Perhaps its being amplified by the fact its my first beer in 12 days, but I am having a good old time here

Been trying to finish this keg of Mosaic and Cascade pale to make way for the Cali common I brewed at Xmas,
Had two pints, bottled 2 L,, gave my daughter a glass and it's still not kicked !

Brooklyn Alcohol Free Hoppy Lager... midweek rules at the moment.... not bad at all. Very tropical and hoppy. If 4.5% of this had been ethanol it would have been ever better!

On a more serious note, the average quality of low and no alcohol beers seems to have jumped in recent years.

I have it on good authority from my wife that Aldi St Etienne 0% is not bad plus it comes in 500ml bottles!

And now my own Perle Pilsner.

Always better when someone else makes it tho eh....
