Moving onto my own bitter now.

Thought I'd give this another go. When I brought it last time, I was disappointed that with its retro label and bigging up of Burton Ale, it was full of American C hops (to be fair, the label does make this patently obvious ). However, I'm expecting them this time so a well prepared. It's not bad, actually.

Would be better with Fuggles and EKG, though. Baaa humbug.

Agreed!

First time trying this, my son bought it for me and it’s not bad

A Vocation heart and soul, its ok, quite grapefruity. Mate brought it round the other night and didn't get drunk, shame to let it go to waste.

Bateman's Victory. A beer originally brewed to celebrate one of the most important events in English history.

But now they put Lord Nelson on the bottle label. Apparently, he did some important stuff as well.

It's fantastic.

Last IPA for tonight as I have a lot of hedge cutting tomorrow.

Little pale after getting back from the brewery...with a cheese toastie

Not a patch on what it was, still good but

Drinking this while I contemplate getting some citra, mosaic, bru-1 and azacca. £13 for 450g seems like a good deal but do I need more neipas?

Second pint of my Theakstons. It has come on a bit better than I first thought, and I'm not sure I'd go with a beer with this low an ABV again (I prefer to stick to 4-5%). But at 30 days in the bottle, it's certainly a bright, clean, tasty pint, if not feeling particularly alcoholic. Which, I guess is exactly what it's supposed to be, so I'm chalking that down as a success!

More seriously, it struck me that if I had the facility to easily make, say, 50 bottles at a time, it would be a good thing to have a stock of. But I don't, so for the relatively small batches I make, probably not the best use of my efforts. Glad I did it, though.

Tasting the Czech pilsner that tastes like an American lager. It's like the wyeast2001 removed all traces of hop from the beer exactly like an unnamed macro does with it's beers. I will definitely not be using this yeast again.

@Hazelwood Brewery thanks for the carbonation tip at 20psi it's carbing up nicely.

No photos to share but I had a few cans from my latest brewdog order.

Libertine Black IPA - really really good. Was very easy drinking considering it was 7.2%. I could smell the hops with each delve into the glass, as if fresh hops had just been added. Lovely.

90 Day Bock - was OK. Nothing to write home about.

Triple Agent - could tell this was a strong 'un (8.5%), but very flavoursome and went down well. Would get this again.

A local 'American Amber IPA'. I enjoyed this. I think it used a Belgian yeast strain so it was a proper mish mash of styles.

Good grief, carbonation tips from me!

You will need a longer beer line too as you increase pressure or you’ll have foaming issues.

Brew day today. After the boil was over and everything stowed away.
Time for a 'California Steaming' ale.

A small sample of the CML Māori Mingle I brewed last Saturday and kegged last night and It’s pretty good this is why I love Kveik yeast in the summer as you really can go grain to glass in under a week.
