What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[Donegal john]

A brandy in the whisky? lol

You’ve never had a baileys and brandy ?? You need to try it.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Nope - there's always a first time! Husband says why not! You irish folk lol

 

[NormanHurst]

First look at v3 of my English IPA. I like this recipe a lot. A small % of Amber and Crystal but 95% MO. Challenger and EKG. Nottingham yeast. 6.3%, dry and crisp with interest from both malt and hops.

A Christmas straggler found at the back of the fridge. Not bad !

[Hazelwood Brewery]

After a while most of the head settled on that stout and I spooned off the rest. I put the stout on nitro but the recipe was for low carbonation using CO2 so when whipped up it just turned to thick cream.

Never mind, it was nice…eventually! Time for an American Pale.

After another el dorado this is @matt76 Podium IPA, lovely again, however I think I preferred the last version. It's a perfectly made beer as per usual, everything dead right. I think aroma and taste wise, whilst good, doesn't stand out as much as the other. Not disappointing, just not quite as good but still... excellent?

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Another American Pale while I watch Bohemian Rhapsody (again!).

 

[Applesnmore]

Back to the Lovebrewing Goose IPA.
Isn't as intensly hoppy as previous brews. Took too long from dry hopping to botting, 17 days. Could that account for it?
Still a nice brew just lacking that hoppyness

 

[pilgrimhudd]

After all those American hops I've got the urge for a Stag.

 

[Scrattajack]

Got one of these now, a bit too sour but has a lovely flavour.

Sorry about the glass from Kiddyfiddler Abbey. Will get rid once the replacement turns up.

Wouldn’t be like a catholic institution to be at that eh ? Should shoot the lot and burn the Vatican to the ground.
beer looks nice though

A 17 day dry-hop is a looong time so maybe. Dry hopping between 1 and 3 days should be enough.

Reminder of a brilliant day out in Lewes in December with friends, watching football and drinking this stuff on draught in large quantities.

 

[LesTom]

Can't believe it's taken me to now to try this belter

 

[pilgrimhudd]

Brixton Brewery IPA, amazing aroma, loads of citrus, pine, fills the air when the cans opened. However, flavour lacking, a bit thin and undercarbed. Disappointing. Especially as I have another in the fridge.

 

[pilgrimhudd]

First taste! My orkney ale, interesting, first time I've used oak chips and you can really taste it, perhaps overly so but its early days, quite a complex beer, bitter and malty. Think it needs another month or 6.
