GW Black Sheep Bitter

Nothing remarkable just a nice solid 3.2% session bitter.

How on earth do you make the ABV that low?
I've never managed to make a homebrew mash that came out below the 4.2% of my Golden Delicious copy.

This is why we have opposable thumbs!

And mine aren't expensive cos I qualified in lockdown so can do them myself!

Did I ever tell you about the one-armed fiddler I once met?

There I was sat sitting there and …..

…. oh, I’ve already told you have I?

It’s a terrible story of deprivation and hard work, so I can well understand why you would remember!

:hat:

 

[531Man]

I'll start this evening with the same beer I finished with last night.
The Mongrel ale blend.
Now that it's first, I can detect more of the component beers.
The Ernest is back, but quickly swamped by the Goldings, then the bittering hops.
So I don't have Covid ?
SWMBO'd is still testing +ve, so there's still a chance despite us dancing around each other in masks.

Still on my single hop Centennial IPA, after busy day in the garden

Now trying this Citra IPA from Buxton brewery, also a single hop.
Nice fruity aroma, grapefruit bitterness and creamy head, more of a NEIPA in appearance though.
Got a brew planned this weekend with Citra and Cascade, extra pale MO and Caramalt.

Ernest and bramling x pale for me, drowning my sorrows after argyle threw away a play off berth this afternoon. No picture my phones camera is playing up....

Another please bar man.

A Devine faith double ipa at 8% opener for me (more of a juicy pale) could eat it with a spoon it’s that thick
And a passion fruit and vanilla blossom gin for the missus.

 

[531Man]

Her ladyship declined a beer, and demanded to go straight on to the wine.. A present of Aussie Roussanne, which was destined to accompany the Chicken Basque later.
Will it last that long?

 

[micklupulo]

On rations for health reasons so a fat one makes sense. Very nice and it's cheap!

 

[531Man]

Meanwhile I'm on to my Czechish Pilsner.
That's better, last night's haze has gone.
The layers of flavour from a SMASH are wonderful.
Don't know where that came from.
But I know where the beer is going.
Down the hatch,
Cheers!

I feel your pain. I’m only having a few for similar reasons as well and thought I would go for big ones.

Blame my terrible efficiency OG was 1.033 FG 1.009 grain bill is fairly small as well throw in a bit of luck and I have an easy to drink low ABV beer. Reason I like bitter and mild is that is a style that can give tasty easy drinking beers with fairly low ABV’s.

A couple of beers that we took home from Brew York, first up the epic Toast

Followed by probably my most favourite stout (so far) - Nefarious Ninja No9

D'Arenberg are a good outfit. I sold cases and cases of this when I worked in Oddbins 20 odd years ago

 

[Leon103]

Don't think I will be moving far from here so might as well have another

Goodness me that’s clear - top marks 531!

Back medicine.

I think my accidentally cloudy IPA is clearing in the keg.
