What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[Stu's Brews]

Working through the last of the Golden Ale so I can make room for the Belgian Blonde.

Tonight's small starter of Mongrel of Kentish ales.

I’m in the mood for something strong, soft, flavoursome, and warming. Belgian Tripel of course!

No2 is back from uni. We’re having a couple of Longboards while we cook some steak.

Recipe please! :)

I'm assuming you meant the recipe for the Golden Ale:

Malts (all from Crisp):
3.2kg Extra Pale Maris Otter
250g Caramalt
50g Crystal 150

Hops:
15g Challenger - 60mins
25g East Kent Goldings - 10mins
25g East Kent Goldings and 50g Willamette - 20mins Hop Stand at 75degC

Yeast:
Wyeast British Ale (1098) pitched at 0.75million cells/ml

Mash for 60 minutes at 65degC then mash out at 75degC for 10 minutes.

Fermented at 20degC for 10days and then cold crashed for 4 days prior to transfer.

Can't remember the specifics of the water profile off the top of my head but can dig it out of my notes if needed.

All the above us for a 20L batch that comes out at 4% ABV.

First try of my Talus IPA tonight. First time with this hop and still trying to work out if I like it or not

Getting discontinued from Tesco, no idea why because it's a nice beer. Down to 2 pounds a can

I quite like beers that use Talus but don't think I've ever had it in a single hop beer. What is the flavour/aroma like?

Another porter I had a back up glass out to get an IPA in case the keg kicked.

I’m getting a lot of coconut oil. The best way I can describe it is It’s sort of like drinking a beer with suntan oil all round your chops.

That's a fine looking kegerator. How are you finding the boel tap

Couple of Big Waves while we cooked some chicken for the ladies.

Interesting. I know it's derived from Sabro which has big coconut flavours but I don't tend to pick that up so much from Talus. Maybe it's more to do with how it works in combination with other hops though.

Thanks. Really like the itap so far. I got the version that does crown caps for £80 from AliExpress and 3d printed the other clamps for pet bottles and the longer neck crown caps.

Fancied something Hoppy, so onto the IPA

 

[Rodcx500z]
