What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[Hoddy]

Blended or started as a lager and finished with saison yeast?

It’s a blend of dry yeasts 50/50 and then fermented right in the middle of the min/max temp for both yeasts at 13oC.

After those, disappointing. I’ll have another go some time soon.

I'd like to have a crack too

Did the saison yeast take over and turn the beer into a saison?

I might just massively ramp up my bitter recipe and see what happens. 🤷‍♂️

Really nice and dry and snappy and pilsner like with a Belgian character.

My best bitter, brewed 11 days ago. The carbonation is spot on, hooked it up yesterday at 8 psi. S0-4 is a fast monster and it might even clear. I am also surprised by the bitter gold, it really meshes well in a bitter. Now I need to leave this one alone for 2 weeks. And also get another batch on top of the yeast cake.

 

[Pennine]

Had one of these too.

2nd Oktoberfest of the night. Normally I'd expect to prefer a darker lager, but this is much better than the Hacker-Pschorr. Delicious stuff.

I'll try to find this, I really like the hacker-pschorr version and also Paulaner.

A saison yeast at 13c very interesting. Pilsner like with a Belgian character sounds like a fabulous combo.

Happy days

I quite like that one. It’s mucky but got a lot going on.

Trying out the Cold IPA I brewed a week ago at 13c, it's done fermenting and is actually quite delicious. Azaaca is amazing. A bit of hop burn still lingering, a couple weeks should mellow that out.

One of my.own next

After running out of Opus bitter last night I’ve put another keg of bitter on tap for a family BBQ today 😉

I haven't heard of premium bitters before is this a new category? Or basically an ESB?

It was a CAMRA category. They had session strength for up to 4.3% and premium for 4.4% and over.

A thoroughly terrible day outside with wind and rain and my wife in bed sick so all Sunday chores fall to me. So time for half an hour of American pickers and a cyder.

@pilgrimhudd saison now
Very highly carbonated and really well balanced bready malt aroma and a subtle hop taste that dances in your mouth with the bubbles. Very smooth dry finish that hides the 7.3% very well. Bloody nice beer. Cheers for sending.

Edit**
Just looking over your brewdays thread and I see this had cardamom in it,didn’t get it on the aroma but it’s there in the background on the finish. Very interesting.

Ahh that is interesting, I get a hint but thought it was just yeast esters and not really cardamom that I was tasting but maybe it does come through, glad you liked it anyway. 👍
