What are you drinking tonight 2022?

Cider in the garden because it’s boiling!

I know it’s the wrong beer for the weather but when you fancy one…

The beer has started flowing now, and we’re gonna do a mini barbecue later. Having one of my wheat beers to try and get rid of it. It’s 7 weeks old on Sunday.

The husband doesn’t like it but I’ve persuaded him to try half so I can use the vessel it’s being stored in to ferment something else. I don’t think we’ll get through 9L of it by tomorrow though!

A bit more appropriate for the weather maybe, raspberry sour. Still needed three pours despite increasing the beer line length from 3m to 6m. Made no difference!

We thought we’d try this weird sounding thing. It’s not unpleasant but I wouldn’t buy it again.

Really pleased with how this turned out I might up the carbonation a tad but it is a very pleasant very hoppy pale ale, with lots of flavour.

Given the occasion me and @Hoppopotamus are enjoying an old bottle of Tetley's

Have you vented and pulled off the gas? It might just be overcarbed right now. I had to do it a couple times with the kegs after using that broken regulator.

No. I wanted to keep the carbonation level as it is if possible and just have it dispense without looking like a glass of shaving foam!

This is a little better. Small measures but means we can have a few different ones.

SAISON!!!! flowed by another SAISON!!

I can see what the fuss is about now, this stuff is perfect, post back destroying gardening/landscaping, beer.

Slips down lovely, and I'm starting to feel a bit less like a horse fit for the knackers.

I find SAISON to be the perfect home-brewed beer in that it seems to be practically impossible to screw up, has a huge range of variations and has a genuine lack of commercial examples available. My only real issue is how easy it is to make far stronger than intended, I.e. my most recent batch fermented all the way down to 1.001 leaving me with a 7% beer which is as easy to drink as a pint of 4% Bitter.

 

[NotSure]

On my Idaho 7 IPA today. Half Munich, half Pilsner malt. 5.9% ABV and lots of late hopping. Great hop. My now be my favourite. Before using this hop, I thought Idaho 7 was a rocket powered by potatoes bound for the moon.

Edit: I also used Saflager S-23 Lager yeast to help get it nice, drinkable, and clear. So, I guess it's really an IPL.

Just having @Oneflewover Saison I will reply in the other thread, but just cooking Empire Chicken on the Kamado before friends come round so it’ll probably be tomorrow. I did take notes, the last one I wrote. Awesome

I have never kegged a saison, I just added a small dry hop of Nelson sauvin to my latest batch. I might keg it to see how it goes

I have Mixed views in kegging Saisons I do like the convenience but I never seem to be able to get the carbonation levels right on a SAISON.
