What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[Leon103]

Miserable here and same for next few days. Caravan is parked for the better weather.

20% of rain tomorrow or 80% of sunshine and then no rain for the length of the bbc predictions. We need some rain, put so many plants in garden and we go away in just over a week.

Return to normal life.
Beer & a band within walking distance

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.

Ha ha,
now you're talking.
Mild and bitter was a classic working man's drink.
And you know how much I'm into beer blends.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Strangely I’m enjoying this beer more than last time. Might be because I’m in need of beer tonight

 

[531Man]

Goodness me that’s clear - top marks 531!

Thanks for the compliment.
Yes it is stunningly clear, when it did 'hang a haze' for a while.
But then it was various generations of recovered Nottingham yeast, so I shouldn't really be surprised.
Talking of recovered yeast, there have been discussions of how many generations to safely use, not beyond 3 seems to be a general recommendation.
This beer has contributions from brews using gens. 6, 7 and 8!
Yes, I am anally retentive about sterility.
And I have no idea what 'brett' tastes like.

 

[Leon103]

Last one for me tonight. It's been too long since I had a weiss and this is fantastic

 

[Jim Brewster]

Did you use Munich malt as the base malt with the wheat?

No, just pale malt. It was a user-upper batch really, and probably the reason it was thin without it

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

You’ve gotta have…

 

[Nottsbeer]

@Nottsbeer dunkel! Finally got round to it, a nice beer, little aroma but nice flavours, malty, toasty and sweet. As you say, a little thin perhaps for the style but I've enjoyed it. With a bit more body it would be great.

Again, having an issue with pics..

Glad you enjoyed it. Will make this again with a different mash schedule to get more body, and maybe play with slightly different hops.

Definitely inspired me to brew a dunkel or dunkelweizen in 3 brews time, schwarzbier and paler ernest and bramling x pale first!

Just joining the dots from last night.

Some bars get it right

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

We have arrived in Ilkley for the beer festival and are having a cheeky Wetherspoons before we go in. Husband and I are having a shipyard to go with the food.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Having a precious falling by north brewing - fruited sour with honeyberry, hibiscus and lemon.

 

[531Man]

Bottling day.
Drinking the FG tester of my lighter most recent Pilsner (Dortmunder looking at Palmer' book).
4.3% now, will be 4.6% when the priming sugar fermented and conditioned up.
Made it lighter so me and my guests don't fall over too early when hopefully having garden B&Bs.
The 1st Pilsner drinking now is 5.25% and too tasty for its own good. And as it's not conditioned, its 'in cask' so no bubbles to slow down its consumption.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Having so much fun, forgetting to post.

The son and DIL have popped up to the hotel to check in. I’ve recently had a verdant x unity IPA, and I’ve now got a vocation death by cherries sour. Both very nice.

I’m on halves and thirds by the way. Wouldn’t be able to last the day with pints!

 

[samale]

Derry Jazz festival is in full swing. It's a great week of music if anyone has plans to visit Derry

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

This is pure gold! Had to come out of the venue for the interval.

 

[ecirpian]

left old peculier clone and right deadpony clone. Rewards for fixing the leaking toilet and almost patching up the plaster.

 

[Rodcx500z]

Czech pilsner with all saaz not quite ready yet but very nice

 

[NormanHurst]

Lost and Grounded Running with Spectres Baltic Porter whilst putting a chicken dinner together. Very good.
