What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[Pennine]

Yes I would brew this one again, hopping level seems about right compared to commercial versions I have had .
Here is the recipe

Thanks, I love how simple these recipes tend to be. Do you get any fruity from the hopstand?

Yes definitely a cheaper brew that the IPA's and a nice simple brew day. I'm not sure how much the whirlpool hops give to the full profile as I haven't tried it without,but I like to have some hotside before yeast pitch without giving much to the bitterness. I'm sure most of the hoppiness comes from the dry hop. It's subtle but noticeable compared to a normal Pils.

An English Bitter. I’ve not had one for a few days so I’m enjoying it all the more.

Why it’s my birthday I thought I would try one of the beers I got

First pour of my Saazy Biatch Pilsner. My first attempt at a lager. Missing on clarity slightly if I am being critical but on point for taste it's worth the slow process.

Happy Birthday!


At his last birthday, No1 son bemoaned the fact that the older HE got, the faster the years passed by! Time does that!
:hat:

Venturing out to another brewery dark roasted lager, not bad, a bit heavy on the roast but has a good malty backbone.

Just found out these are all gluten free and millet or buckwheat based. The dark lager was the better of the two. This one is a buckwheat Belgian

Makes a pleasant change to see a couple commercial beers with clarity.

Tonight an early taste of my Guinness clone, (bottled 15th April) I almost doubled the sour wort from 650 ml to 1,200 ml this time used the Widbrew sour pitch yeast. It is getting there but the next brew I will double the sour pitch wort to 2.5 litres. I did smell and taste the sour pitch. It tasted and had the aroma of Guinness. First time I left it to chance with whatever bacteria chose to ferment the wort I had in the flask. Using the lactic acid bacteria made a huge difference, don't know why it is so expensive though.

Not a great picture, but I’m having a small glass of my butternut squash and thyme wine. Trying to cut down a little, as we have a very boozy day coming up on the 1st May.

This is the Coopers IPA that I expected to finish two days ago!

This is the newly fitted fly-screen in anticipation of the summer; having been rejected by SWMBO on the basis that it’s “garish”! I don’t care as long as it keeps the flies out of the shed!

I love those fly strips - it reminds me of being little. We used to have those ones that looked like candy stripes

Left Hand IPA while mashing a double IPA in my trusty cooler using all Centennial hops expected OG is 1.100.

Quite a refreshing brew!

I've just bottled my first all grain beer - Spiced Coriander and Ginger Beer ex GH.
Supped 2 bottles before it's had chance to get capped! Dangerous too at 5%, once it's carbed and chilled - shall have to be careful.
Bottled straight from the brew bucket, a few fine bits of Coriander or Ginger carried through the little bottler. Don't know what that'll do when carbed - extra fizzy I guess!
Will be making again.
Put 5l in a mini keg ( another new ebay purchase!) with 12g dextrose so hopefully that'll be ready soon.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Another try of my Altbier. Starting to clear a little but quite a way to go yet. Still tastes nice though.
