What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[samale]

Did some work in the brewery, time for a brown lager. Will definitely drop the brown malt down next time. Next to my Orval dregs that finally started going with a refeed. Only took 48 hours. They are old though, and it might be time to brew a Belgian table beer and then an actual Orval clone.

How long have they been working their magic in it?

I made the saison with wyeast 3711 then added the dregs of a couple of bottles a few weeks ago. I will bottle now and let it condition. Hopefully it will be good for Christmas.

Will be interesting to see if it the Brett sticks out from the saison yeast.

Enjoying one of these now, very good.

My last bitter, intended to be a copy of @pilgrimhudd 's recipe. but you know how it goes... More normal bitter colour, albeit dark, than the reddish shade in my poor pic. No prize-winner, but I'm not displeased.

My ESB which has been bottle conditioning in the shed on the back paddock under the Dragon tree, temperatures average about 10 degrees. Is it the longer conditioning at cool temperatures which gives the brightness or just the longer time? Unfortunately I have drank the ones conditioned at 18 C

The last of my London Pride clone.

Time clears the beer regardless but cooler temperatures clear the beer more quickly than warmer temperatures. Also, cooler temperatures keep the beer fresh for longer.

I’m having a bottle of Summer Lovin’, I prepared too many bottles for competitions

Wife and I are having that bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout. This is my half.

First up @dave_77 American amber

Really like an American amber, nice hop aroma mixed with sweet malt. Again good flavour, not sure what hops you used. I get pine and light citrus.
Only down side is the colour, normally your beers are bright. This is a bit muddy looking

I needed some more of the dregs. I am bottling a Brett Saison. I forgot how joyful it is to wash 40 odd bottles.

Haha yes...hops were Idaho gem, Chinook & a little Mosaic. It's a little ugly which is a shame as I like the colour. It is starting to clear a little now but still far from bright. I think my Gelatine is past its date just wouldn't clear.. had a bigger whirlpool and less dry hop to try and get it a little clearer

Brewed a beast, finally done.

This one isn't bad, I don't get much oak?

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I’m starting with a Schwarzbier today just because I haven’t had one for a while. Rich malty goodness with a little spice from the hops.
