Do you keep and reuse wet yeasts. I might build my stock up after Christmas.
What are you drinking tonight 2023.

Doing some "hop research" whilst sorting the toasties. Works well in a golden ale. What doesn't?
My annual Bière de Garde. This didn't fare well in a competition, with DMS and sulphur aroma being the main negatives.
I have a cold but not getting either, so hopefully it has aged out, if that's possible. Mouthfeel is quite creamy so wonder if that was interpreted as slickness you get with DMS.
This is the first version I've fermented with a lager yeast, think I'll go back to an ale yeast next time.

When they say pina colada they mean it! More than a little strange this one.

Started with my own latest bitter for which fortunately I am developing a taste!

Now following it up with this from Aldi which I think is a palatable bargain.

I had been in the past overbuilding a starter and keeping a theoretical 100b in a mason jar to build up within 3 months..but I didn't manage to use them in good timescales so went to the drain.
With this wyeast strain I have frozen some samples in test tubes using the cryo mixture method so I will see how that works.
Will build up a collection that way if the first sample works well in a starter.

I was doing something similar, I had a good stock build up. WLP 023 for bitters, porters & stouts. Then a few Belgian strains and the French Saison yeast. I will start to build them up again. I have noticed a big jump in price of the White lab yeasts

Advent box beer 3.
I fancied an ESB but mine has only been conditioning for two weeks. Luckily I have a couple of shop bought stand-ins 
Day off tomorrow so its the last of my 1698 and a Hobgoblin which we got from the local shop as we haven't managed to get the car out of the street due to the amount of snow and the state of the side streets, it has forecast rain tomorrow so with luck we can get out and restock.

This Mad Cow Stout from GEB has only had two weeks in the bottle, but I gave in to temptation and stuck one in the fridge today. Very happy with this still young beer. 
My Kent pale ale as a pre prandial for me.
SWMBOD demanded some of the Madiran, meant to accompany the Cassoulet.
So she got it, of course.
A great combo.
We're off to Calais for a day trip next week, so will restock at Carrefour then.

This is nice
I’m going to start with one of these again and put Apollo 11 on, then maybe move on to my porter.
On to that porter. This keg seems to be bottomless, I kegged this porter in June! It’s also rewarding that it tastes just as good six months later.
Might qc the oatmeal stout later to see if its carbing up.
Won't have many tonight as I had a trough full yesterday in York...6 or 7 pints of which were stout or porter.

Acting daft as usual...me with my big daft drinking pal!
I’ve just watched Apollo 11 and there are certain similarities in this picture and watching the lunar lander dock with the service module.
After another couple of glasses of porter I checked the keg - it’s very light and I maybe have only another pint or two in this keg (I do have another ready to go on tap so it’s not an issue).
