What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[Alastair70]

Zoom meeting kicking off in 5. Must remember to keep the pint behind the camera.

I ended up with Ca 100, Mg 10, SO4 220, Cl 35.
I probably should have aimed to get the Chloride over 50 or higher in retrospect, if I get round to dosing a glass with a little dissolved CaCl, I'll let know what the effect is.

(I've done this before with other brews when I started to pay attention to water chemistry. If you haven't tried it, it's worth giving it a go sometime. The weights and volumes of gypsum or CaCl to add can be worked out from the tables in Water and How To Brew - John Palmer).

Think I aimed for:
Ca 110, Mg 18, Na 17, Cl 50, S04 350

Had to use epsom salt to get the sulphate levels up, which raised my sodium levels to over 40 ppm. No idea if this is what tainted the beer. Might go for a more balanced hoppy profile, just in case.

I would say if they want to hold a meeting at 5PM before a long weekend then frankly they shouldn’t expect anyone to be sober.

Take a picture of yourself listening intently from the camera on the computer, set that picture as your avatar. Every so often turn off your camera (so your avatar shows) take a couple of sips, turn the camera back on.

Petote Saison again. Don't want to drink too much tonight as brewing tomorrow and hangovers and brewing never mix.

Given there were no finings used at all (forgot protofloc and never use any fermenter/keg finings) I'm quite impressed how clear this is getting.

Here's the final water make up in the brew. I reckon our source water supplies can't be that different. It's the same rain falling in very similar reservoirs that aren't that far apart. It's a pale beer so I diluted with 80% RO.
The sulphate:chloride ratio in your proposed profile is very similar to what I ended up with. I'll be send you a bottle of mine after the weekend, you can see what you think of that balance.

It's still Wednesday for me. I'm working in Dublin today and tomorrow and they don't seem to be celebrating the jubilee down here.

Does feel a bit like a Friday.

Completely. My American colleagues seemed a bit unhappy I got two days off just because good old Queeny has been reigning for a long time. I told them they had their chance, but blew it in 1776

That could get confusing after a few pints

Well that went on for a while. Time for a proper pint with the crossword while I wait for a wee spot of dinner.
