Beat me to it. Damm

No photos I'm afraid, but a quick wander in to The Robin Hood this lunchtime (website) for a bit of sampling of their cask ales.
The Wychwood Hobgoblin was amazing - a real eye-opener compared to the kegged and bottled varients (and more sessionable, too, at 4.5%). Fresh, malty and a subtle bitter edge to it without being in-your-face hop overload. Fantastic beer.
Also had a pint of the cask WantSum brewery's Imperium - veery nice too. Another top quality malty brew.

Without wanting to sound like a zealot (I'm absolutely not) I really think that pubs should shout more about having fresh beer on cask. It's a different drink altogether.

First pint of IPA out of Keg “B”. This one has been cold crashed and sat on the bench for a couple of weeks and it tastes great!

There is no metallic taste and it is as clear as a bell. Not bad for a one year OOD Coopers IPA Kit with ditto DME that was going a bit brown!

The next two photos show three (only 9 more to go) new vents in the shed and the thickness of the wood! I really needed that pint!

Absolutely agree.

Something out of this...with flies and leaves usually!

Fancied one of these this evening! Happy Friday comrades!

Started with a Mild but now on the bitter because I need the keg tomorrow and I know there’s not much left.

Trying my small spelt saison (3.4%) for carbonation/conditioning.

This was my first brew in the G40 and first try with Lallemand Farmhouse (non-diastatic strain) and was concerned it would lose the Saisonyness. But it's got a typical saison aroma, finished dry enough and tastes pretty darn good.

Will clear over coming weeks, but I'm not bothered by a bit of haze in Saisons.

The assumption that “there’s not much left” in a keg has tripped up better men than you and I, so be careful!
:hat:

 

[Stu's Brews]

First sampling of my English IPA that I'm entering into the LAB Open.

Genuinely quite chuffed with this; Chevallier malt with EKG and First Gold hops, which gives it a nice marmalade vibe without it being really in your face. Head retention is probably the best I've had as well, which I'd guess is down to the addition of some torrified wheat.

Embarrassed to say that was in my head too when I read the post :) maybe it’ll be on Heardle soon.

But the stars we could reach were ….?

 

[ecirpian]

1) maltmiller dubble
2) my version of a dubbel

still too young (13days conditioned) but both nicely carbonated and tasted ok. Hope they improve over the next two months.

 

[ecirpian]

Has anyone tried this? Any good?

It’s looking good - I’ll have my fingers crossed for you!

This is the second, I’m going to say there are two more. Place your bets…
