Pint of American stout next. I really do like this version. Easy drunk. Not as in your face

Having a pint of citra and simcoe pale tonight. Not many left in the keg but trying a double brew weekend so do this again and something else on Sunday if I get the chance. View attachment 65808
I've just done that one today with the only change being the yeast. I had the m66 hophead yeast in the fridge that in thought I would try this time. Hopefully doesn't spoil it 🤞
 
Definitely an “age thing” and the beer started before my two “pikelets” * for lunch.

At 79, gone are the days when me and a mate could get through a litre of Grouse each as we sorted out the world and watched the sun come up!

Lucky? You bet! Especially as I only gave up smoking after SWMBO said “Smoke or eat - your choice!” Here’s hoping she doesn’t start on the beer drinking!
:beer1: :D :beer1:

* Now called “crumpets” for some reason.
Pikelets.
Had to Google them.
It seems the name is of Celtic (Welsh ) origin for a drop scone.
Same mixture, just thinner and not circular like crumpets are, as no 'ring' is used to keep them contained.
Apparently served in Oat cake shops in Stoke on Trent.
Do you come from that way?
 
This one was
5kg pale ale malt
200g cara rye
200g chocolate malt
150g roasted barley
150g carafa 2
100g black malt

15g magnum 60min
15g Zeus 40 min
55g bramling cross 10 mins
Pitched on Bry 97 yeast slurry.

Great timing, was looking for American Stout recipes, malt bill much the same as what i've been thinking, though might chuck in some special B. Hops i'm looking at Chinook and Centennial.
