What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[Pennine]

What yeast did you use?

M15, although it seems like all of my beers have had haze issues since I have been back in Denver. This one is pretty young though I have been drinking it out of the keg it fermented in. I think it was brewed 23 July. So it could be that? The only beer I have been able to get clear was a wheat beer?

Curious. Flocculation is usually quite good with M15. What was your water profile?

Power failure in our area, so had to come outside to the other side of the garden as the battery fail safe didn't allow me to turn the alarm off (inherited an ancient system). Estimated fix for 10:30 tonight in the meantime my West coast murky IPA

Yeah that is what I read too, I am going to brew your award winning bitter next and use S-04 to check if it is a yeast issue. Usually s-04 drops likes a rock for me. Here are the stats.

Another NEIPA. Not sure what’s going on with this. It was really bitter the other day (too much) but today not so much. I wonder what could cause it to change? Any ideas? Temperature? Carbonation levels perhaps?

By Jove this was good (at 6:15pm).
My Dortmunder Pils Bier from the fridge. Back from my hot cycle ride
Aaaahhh.

Quite high on the sulphate but nothing obvious there, what about pH?

Yeah I was trying out higher sulphates to see if I prefer them. I don't it's very sulphury to me.

pH was
20min mash - 5.39
Pre boil - 5.21
Post boil - 5.04

Then it was an OOD Beer52 GCBC Boston Helles lager.
BBE April 2022.
Still fresh and lightly fruity.
The pizza was a try-out on SWMBOds new(ish) Big chiminea using a Cornish volcanic stone to cook on.
Typical me, stone way too hot on the still glowing red embers of the wood fire.
The base tells the story.
I ate the charcoaled bases, SWMBOd had other pieces cooked in a more controlled conventional oven.
I must remember to be more patient.

. Nope, nothing there either. Grain bill?

Hops have mellowed.

I think you might be onto something there Leon.

Pizza tonight so cracked this.
Not to bad. And very cheap and available in the organic/health store down the road

 

[Leon103]

Most definitely. Just like aroma and flavour, it will settle. The beer is still young so it always happens.

Followed up by a proper taste of my Italian pils. On initial taste I can detect a flavour I am not familiar with and perhaps didn't like. That goes quickly as the beer warmed slightly. Think it's the hops.

Here is my Czech pils with Urquell yeast, brewed on May 31, cold fermented. Still plenty hazy. They both taste quite good though.

Back from my Jolibobs in Spain.

Time for some beer that tastes a bit more beer like. I'm not knocking lager, when it's 40°c and you are sat doing nothing in blazing sunshine, it has its place, but I'm ready for something tasty.

How about a homebrew SAISON!

(Why don't people write it like that anymore? Is it because I've finally got round to brewing one? )

This Kegs seems to be lasting ages.

That’s me just about done! Fermentation temperature?

Something to take away the taste of melon.

An OOD (of course) Belgian Kviek IPA Dry Hopped with Azacca, a Galaxy and Sabro.
BBE 09:02:2022 .
Richly hoppy. Very tasty. Me like.
