What are you drinking tonight 2023.

Now onto my hoppy Belgian pale

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

OK. I had a birthday. Now, either my family loves me very much and knows exactly what I like…or there’s a plot to get their inheritance a little earlier

First beer made from the G30 - London Pride Clone

Its as clear as a bell but tastes awful!!! Not a patch on the BIAB one I did. Not sure I trust the Grainfather app water additions

Not sure I trust the Grainfather app water additions

I've had funny behaviour with the water calculator. It says it's beta. Sometimes it's told me to put waaaaay too much acid in. I take it with a pinch of salt.

Another try of my ****** up pilsner. A but of chill haze but not bad all considering

When I did the BIAB brew for about 10 ltrs ish I did:-

Mash
2.4g of gypsum
4.8ml of CRS
Sparge
3.2g of gypsum
Add 6.6ml of CRS

For the 23Ltr brew GF app said:-
Mash
Calcium Chloride 1.700g
Gypsum 3.140g
No Acid
Sparge
Calcium Chloride 1.500g
Gypsum 2.770g
Lactic Acid 6.130ml

Have put all the figures into bruinwater (I have very similar figures to you) it says

Mash
Calcium Chloride 0.5g
Gypsum 0.5g
Lactic Acid 5.1ml
Sparge
Calcium Chloride 0.5g
Gypsum 0.5g
Lactic Acid 7.6ml

Not sure who to trust but given that the GF app version tastes rubbish, might do it again with the bruinwater additions

Why is water chemistry so hard?? It's driving me to drink!!!

Now this IS intense cherry. Take my word for it this is the beer to give you beautiful flavour, smooth tartness, and intense cherry.

Went out for a pub lunch and had a few pints of Proper Job on cask - so much better than the bottled version.

Home again now and I’m trying a guest beer from @YeastFace , a Peach Saison (I think that’s what the PS means on the bottle cap).

The beer is a lovely hazy golden yellow with moderately high carbonation and an almost white head that is foamy in texture and is quite persistent.

Served chilled, the aroma is very fresh like cucumber and sherbet with a hint of peach and a note of spice. Very inviting!

The flavour is a little overwhelming at the first sip because you get everything at once. Several sips later I can start to distinguish a range of citrus and tropical fruits. The citrus and tropical fruit storm is followed by a doughy spicy rye bread malt and a softer stone fruit (peach) flavour. The bitterness is soft and smooth and not really noticeable until the finish which is long, dry, and very clean.

This is an excellent, well-made beer in my view, I was looking forward to trying it and I’m very happy I have.

Thanks very much YF, I hope to see you again very soon

You're too kind. Glad you enjoyed it!

Oh, and Happy Birthday!

UK Cascade Summer Ale (pretty miserable outside though).

Poured through a stout spout to try to emulate a cask beer, ok job.

Tastes decent, if a little too inoffensive. Clarity is quite poor but as usual I am drinking it too early.

Photo even worse than normal. Dropped my phone this morning and it's utterly dead so on a really old backup.

2nd beer from my Braybrooke box. Very clean floral Helles.. not my favourite lager style though..not bitter enough

 

[Baldylocks Brewery]

Had a Tim Taylor on the train and now enjoying a Verdant - Even sharks need water

On to my Belgian pale (Saaz/Styrian Goldings)

 

[Agentgonzo]

"wit"bier from @Alastair70

Landed in St ives, pretty straight forward drive from mid west Wales with a caravan.

First thing to do was a beer. My own pilsner first.

Gone into the onsite pub for food. A decent selection to be fair. Height I would stick with a lager a offshore pilsner, not that nice.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Blimey, can't believe it's Friday again already!

Sharing this one, and it's bloody lovely!

Hope everyone has a good weekend.
