What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[samale]

Trying to work out what to brew tomorrow, wife's away to ginger Ed down in Belfast. I could possibly squeeze in two

Maid Marian pale golden ale, hopped with Azacca and Gelena. I get a pithy citrus cutting edge rather than fruit. Pleasant enough.
Begs a question. A hop new to you. How do you know how it taste, other than someone elses description?

 

[Brianbrewed]

my sense of smell is bust.
I get my wife to do sensory notes on my beer.

The irony is she hate beer and thinks it stinks (great nose though)

2 brews ? Or 2 of the other thing you do when the wife’s away

I think I forgot to post a picture of the pale ale? Anyway, on to a honey golden ale. Not so sure about this one after a couple of sips, the honey is quite pronounced. I’m happy to drink it but might not order another.

Teasel Best Bitter (another awful pic)

Pale Malt
Caramalt
Porride Oats (Flahavans)
Crystal Malt
Chocolate Malt.

Crushed peppercorns for 5 mins in the boil

The recipe, I think, is on MaltMiller.

Bleedin deadly beer. Very fruitly nose. Highly recommend brewing.

My Weiss / Hefe.

I can’t wait for you all to see this label. It was a joint effort between me and my husband (mostly husband who is an I.T. professional). I had a big input too though, with naming the beer and deciding on the concept.

Just to be clear, I designed the recipe, brewed, fermented, and transferred it myself. I don’t want anyone to think women aren’t capable, because they certainly are.

I couldn’t be happier with it.

Brewing, historically, was a womans job.
All the gods associated with brewing in ancient societies were female.
One of the miracles of the Irish saint Brigid was turning bathwater into beer.

One thing I am in no doubt is women are more than capable of brewing beer (along with thousands of other things)

Cool label & beer

I’d hope most (all?) brewers are more enlightened.

No worries Tess.

Women have been persecuted for Millenia.
I work with mostly women (who are much smarter than me) and my wife and sister are better educated and have better wages than me (fair fecks to them).
I only hope my daughter see the world becoming more fairer for women.
(That and a decent Star Wars movie).

Definitely not all which is why I mentioned. It’s difficult being a woman in a seemingly male oriented environment without feeling the need to prove your worth in the craft.

Sorry to hear that is your experience.
Men can be dicks sometimes.

I would give my left nut for my wife to brew me beer

I wonder about honey in a beer. I put a jar of orange blossom honey in a SAISON and could only detect a subtle taste.

My wife hates beer and pork (muslim background, though she has cooked my a full Irish several times).

She has an amazing nose for beer, can pick out minute aromas.
My fave quote from her is
"Smells lovely, tastes like p1ss."

She also speaks three languages. Amazing person who I am blessed to be married to.

You definitely aren’t one Brian.

If all men thought the same there’d be no problem.

By the way, my kids grandad is Muslim too. Your wife sounds amazing.

 

[Brianbrewed]

You definitely aren’t one Brian.

Oh Feck, I can be a b0ll0x sometime, unfortunately.
But I am trying to be better.

Put the beer down and go to bed sir. You’ve had too many.

 

[Brianbrewed]

Oh Feck, I;m maudlin.
I'll stick on 'The Foggy Dew' by Sinead O'Conor and the Chieftains and break out the Whiskey.
