Hazy pale, I keep changing my mind on this beer.
For a wilko kit this a really fine pint 1.7kg add 1kg of dme and a pack of gervin yeast, sadly coming to the end of the keg, see you next winter when it’a to cold to brew outside
Ending tonight with a Belgian Quad.. what better way to prepare to go back to work tomorrow..
Since giving myself a new year’s resolution of improving my sensory skills I’ve been watching video presentations and reading about it for a couple of days. I’m thinking of starting a new thread on the subject and involving others that might get interested. In the meantime I’m preparing a beef chilli and enjoying a pint of Summer Breeze. Cheers!
That was tasty so I’m having another - I might just stay on this for a while, I’ve not had a lot of hoppy ales over Christmas.
That batch certainly didn't taste as it should, it was brewed in the summer and I ran out of fridges so it got too hot in a 40 degree unit and strained the yeast.I’m starting tonight with a guest beer from @Griff097. This one is labelled as a Speckled Hen clone at 5.5%

The beer is fairly softly carbonated with a small nearly-white head that dispersed quickly to a ring of bubbles round the glass and then hung around. The beer is Amber in colour and is crystal clear.
The aroma is bready malt and a little toffee. The flavour is nice but I’m afraid the beer doesn’t taste like Speckled Hen. It is malty and there’s a good bitterness though. There is a little sweetness and a slight tackiness on my lips so I suspect a medium attenuation yeast. There are subtle fruity notes too that I think might be stone fruit? The finish is a lingering bitterness - and then it’s all gone!
Thank you!
Hooligan.
I thought as much
Another of the same. Chilli is ready, I’m having rice, wife is having cauliflower rice. Quiet at the bar tonight - too early?
Wilko thirst Red Devil really good for a kit, better head and lacing than my ag brews
Trying to be good, but not working. Got the wine on the go and the the poker app with the hubby lol
Just filled the glass before we settle down with a couple of films.
Another of my Irish Stout. I've really been enjoying this beer!

Today drinking my India IPA clone. While drinking was reading an article in BYO magazine. Previously I had posted eating Stilton cheese with my beer. The article I was reading was about some preserved 2,700 year old human feces found in a salt mine in Austria. It was discovered that among the well preserved remains were Saccharomyces cerevisiae and also Penicillium roqueforti, fungi used to create blue cheese! I wonder if that where the saying came from, 'Cutting the cheese'
Starting tonight with an English Bitter.
On the Orange Gose tonight keeping the dragons company. Very pleased how this came out at the first try.
In fact I liked it so much I bought a book
