What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[SMP Brewery]

A Kwak for me first one since the Brussels beer festival in 2002

Been a long day today. Up at 3 to drop the missus to the airport 2 hrs away then onto a days work so I deserve this.

I commented elsewhere that my Directors kit tasted lovely but not quite like Directors. I still have one kit left. I put on a Muntons IPA and jus cracked one after a scant ten days in the bottle. My first thought? "That tastes like Directors"....Early days yet but I think it'll turn into a decent pint. I did a light secondary priming, 85g for a full 20L vs the recommended 100 because that's how I like it.

In other news my Festival Porter is turning into a really good beer. There will definitely be some Christmas cheer generated there. Though my previous present recipients will not receive their customary bottle as I have retired from the police. As I now work as a delivery diver for a well known catalogue based retailer, gifts of alcohol might send the wrong message [plus I don't know them well enough yet] so more for me!

I love Kwak I made a clone about a month ago and bottled 50/50 between 33 & 50 cl bottles. Should be good at Christmas but I’ll chill a 33cl and check it’s ok.

American Amber has cleared a little but still not as clear as planned, happy with the flavour though

My latest pale ale with cascade and azacca. Big peach flavour of the azacca

Evening all, I’m enjoying one of 3 nights at home in a 2 week period. Checking out the BrewCon Hefeweisen. The head dissipated quite quickly so I’ve turned the gas up a bit to try to breath a bit of life into it. Taste profile is good, clove and banana well balanced, just what I was shooting for.

Week in the keg, first taster of my BIPA hopped with Chinook, Mosaic & Citra 6.4%

 

[ChrisR73]

Advent Calender arrived early.
I fear it wont survive the weekend…

 

[samale]

One of my favourite Tesco beers

 

[Donegal john]

Was heading to bed but this fell out of the fridge and wouldn’t go back in

My Sierra Nevada clone

Is it close to the original

 

[Pennine]

Makes sense. The original recipe is only 20g dry hop in a 19l batch..little sprinkle.
What's WB & Down?

I am not sure about the amount, I think they use HBlanc in the dry hop so it's could just be more potent.

 

[Pennine]

Found a Kellerbier, delicious.

Hblanc is a great hop, I prefer it over Nelson sauvin. Both have similar characteristics to my taste. Love both in a saison

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Yes due to the Cascade hops.

Ohhh, where?

 

[foxy]

First off bottling dregs of an ordinary bitter.

Second but last bottle of London Pride clone.

Golden Bitter.

 

[obscure]

After a rather miserable walk in the rain up from the station it seemed like time for a pint of Mild. Also feeling rather pleased this is the last pint in the keg with it kicking just as I filled the glass.

Overall being very pleased with this batch I will likely up the chocolate malt slightly and increasing the priming sugar a tad (was a Greg Hughes recipe) but a nice 3.5% session beer, and more importantly I have 20L of Bitter ready to tap shortly.
