What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[Donegal john]

I love this beer on draft, it’s not the same in a bottle.

It’s nice in bottle. Would be good to taste on draught

This next. Needs no introduction.its a stout apparently

 

[Chippy_Tea]

Starting with a
St Peters Plumb Porter to be followed by a TT Landlord then onto the wine, we made the Range store make your own white wine this time as it's been ages since we made white wine.

Ah another cracking IPA from Brewdog

Tiramissu night

Last one in the shed bar. A Belgian single/blonde/double was to be a single but I got better efficiency than normal and it ended up at 6.5%. Call it what you want but I call it lovely.

Quick dash back home and grab the last couple of cold Neck oil cans I have in my fridge.
Bizarrely I thought it tasted better on draft - certainly fruitier - when I was in the pub last Friday.
Still good though.
Need to do another clone of this soon.

Spent today at St. Ives and the evening at the Pilchard Press Alehouse in St Ives ( a favourite haunt ). It’s a small micropub with cask ales and a wonderful atmosphere. Back at the holiday home now and enjoying a can or two. This 8.3% DIPA from Attic is nice.

Night on the Saison, this time one of mine.. tasting much crisper after 10 days old conditioning

Mrs is not impressed after two Saisons... carbonation has taken its toll

Heard about this a long time ago. Could hardly pass up the opportunity. Wouldn't rate it as high as I have seen but it's nice. Quite boozy.

I have brewed a couple, try using redx malt

I’ve looked at Red X before, but haven’t tried it. What proportion did you use? Bestmalz say up to 100% is ok.
I‘ve got always good colour from red through dark amber from mixing roasted and dark caramel malts, and you get to manipulate the flavour profile that way. Wayermann suggest equal proportions of CaraRed and Melanoidin for a bright red, I tried that on an Irish Red brew. The colour was good, but not noticeably better than other brews.

 

[SMP Brewery]

What was it and what’s like? I have one in my sights for the brew queue too.

I thought it was lovely had a fruity sweetness to it that complimented the hops.
It is a seasons Red IPA at Brewhouse and Kitchen Cheltenham. I might email and see if they will shed a bit more light on it.

Here’s my recipe for 18 litres of Pataskala Red IPA
4000g Red X
400g Cara Red
1000g Vienna
30g Carafa 3
Hops Columbus & Cascade

Loving the afternoon sun, though it's getting very autumnish.

Hefeweizen is perfect for sitting in the sun

 

[SMP Brewery]

Had a hard time this lunchtime searching out the pubs to eat as family are here as well.

Stick to farming Adam.

A pint of Cheltenham Gold again, then a pint of Campden Pale.

It was a hard task but someone had to do it.

Felt like Cider ice cold fizzy and bone dry.

Love this stuff to kick off an evening and I’m not normally a cider fan

 

[SMP Brewery]

I might email and see if they will shed a bit more light on it.

Got a reply

The recipe is very simple for it honestly. I used the majority Pale malt for base, then Munich and Light Crystal for flavour and colour additions. The hops were all very easy as well. I wanted to emphasise a super citrus with a back note of pineapple and grapefruit, so I used El Dorado for aroma, and Zeus for bittering due to its high alpha content.
The Yeast was BRY-97, which helps bring out esters of stonefruit and floral aromatics too.

After kicking off my first ever proper cider it’s feet up and pale ale time.
Stating off with this little beauty:
