I’m starting today with a Magum Opus bitter because I screwed up when bottling yesterday - I bottled the wrong beer for one of my competition entries.

Yesterday I cleaned all my beer lines, bottled what I needed to and cleaned those lines down again before flushing everything through, stripping out all the gas pipework, turning off the gas, and putting everything in “storage” while I’m away for a few days. I put all my bottling gear away and sighed a bit sigh.

Today, I figured out I bottled the wrong beer 🤬. For those of you that remember it this was a Hamlet moment…

I asked because tomorrow at 4pm Sharps and Bluntrock are launching a collaboration beer at Bluntrock’s taproom (PL27 6NS) that looks very nice 😉. I’m heading down to Cornwall tomorrow and might be trying to convince my wife that we should just pop in for a look!

Interestingly, Sharps are brewing it on their 1,000 litre pilot kit (25,000 litre brewery kit) and Bluntrock on their 150 litre brewery kit. Would love to do a side-by-side.
 
The bitter is lovely but now it’s time for something else and thanks to @samale (thanks Samale 👋) I have a guest beer, a 6% stout.

The beer is luxuriously black and softly carbonated which in my mind is perfect for a stout. When I got to the bottom of the glass I could see the beer was clear.

The aroma is lovely and very inviting with coffee and chocolate at the fore and a little sweet raisin fruit in support. The flavour matched the aroma but also with a hint of vanilla and is very clean with no off flavours. Good body, bitterness is perfectly balanced, the finish is very clean.

All too soon the glass is empty but that was a cracking beer Samale, thanks very much!

Cheers, that is one of the better stouts I have made. I need to get another on soon for the winter
