Christening a new beer glass with my mild.

Aye, you’re doing good work there

Keep it up and learn any important lessons for next time (to do the same?).

Perhaps not do the same!
Rather nerve wracking.
So it was racked into the cubitainer 1st April at SG1010. Today looks like SG1007.
It would appear to have had a 'yeast revival' some 4 weeks later after being dormant in N corner of garage the whole time.
I think it's because it's proper Pilsner yeast. MJ M84.
Fortunately the batch#2 was bottled at SG1009 and I only used 100g sugar for 21 litres, so the bottles should not (hopefully) become Pilsner bombs. It could well be lively on opening though.
I will keep the community posted, be assured.
Leason learned: Take more heed of the hydrometer sleeve which reads, "DO NOT BOTTLE (OR KEG) BEER UNTIL HYDROMETER SINKS BELOW 1006 OR BOTTLES WILL BURST."

Only after drinking @Broken Toe IPL.
Top class beer, really enjoyable. Sorry for the short review but I am on steak duty

 

[531Man]

That SG checker sample mustn't be wasted.
Passes the QC test, even if it is not as cold as it ought to be, so as to get the correct hydrometer reading.

That pig looks lovely.
How long has that been roasting for
?

An Rye IPA tastes really good only the second rye beer I’ve made. Had a stuck mash and a BHE of 58% and an ABV 5.4% but it’s fine.

 

[Jordang]

Cheeky pint of Dunkelweizen.. carbonation isn’t quite right though but taste is delish

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

This is the 7% IPA. It’s not as dark as it looks in this subdued lighting, it’s more amber. The bottle is in Greek but I can make out the hops; Mosaic, Citra, Simcoe.

 

[StoutWolf]

Next up is an attempt at GH elderflower ale.

Must have a go at that. Is the flavour distinctive?

A couple of years ago we decided to keep a pig and fatten it up. I told the neighbour about it and he asked where will you keep it. In the house I said. He asked what about the smell? I replied the pig will soon get used to it.

 

[Donegal john]

A saison. Lovely beer. Chuffed with this one.

 

[Leon103]

A his and hers pale ale, enjoying pizza in the sun

 

[micklupulo]

Just the one. But pleased to say my AG bitter is on form after about 14 weeks in the bottle.

I was amazed when I tried it on a big bag of Japanese Oolong tea I had been given, written only in their character script .
Immediate understandable instructions appeared.

First of the day...this pale will be gone quickly

 

[DocAnna]

Now this is properly yummy passion fruit, peach and a wee zing of pineapple- yes please.
Loch Lomond ‘Zoom time’ session NEIPA

First proper taste of this English bitter user upper I kegged last weekend.
Bittered with last of some Admiral and late addition, hopstand and dry hop of EKG.
First bitter for a while, hits the spot !
