What are you drinking tonight 2023.

[Braumeister]

Newly kegged clone of Yuengling traditional lager. Strangely it required half a kilo of flaked corn, can’t really taste it though tbh. One for the summer really but it’s going down nicely.

Onto my Gose. I am enjoying this beer, nice and refreshing..only one problem..
I like sour/tart beers, but don't think Im really fussed about 19l of it

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Fancied something fruity and cold

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

A nice pint of bitter, not mine on this ocassion but I won’t hold that against it!

 

[Alastair70]

Back in the bar after dinner. Finished yesterdays crossword in the restaurant so now have to do todays on the iPad. Guinness is still good.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

My bitter this time and my wife is having a bourbon Imperial.

 

[Alastair70]

Almost there. A pint of Irish Red should see me across the line. This one is pretty good. Leaning towards the caramel malts, I like a bit more roast in mine. On the plus side, plenty of fruity notes from the Irish Ale yeast.

Bonus crossword close up for any lurking cruciverbalists.

Picked this up in Sainsburys. Only £1.50 and fairly nice.

Summer Breeze I bottled today as a test for my new Boel iTap.

Awesome pint that Summer Breeze

 

[Pennine]

Having another of these. The alcohol in the aroma is distracting.

Reminds me though, I need to get some hopy brews going. I feel like I am moving on from my malt phase and back into hazy IPA territory.

Looks like it keeps the carbonation perfect. I also saw you can double the cpf as a regular tap. Thanks for the info on your brew day thread.

The Italian pils isnreally something now.

 

[Braumeister]

Would you share your recipe?

Yes sure

I didn’t have cluster so I just used cascade but it should have cluster too. I also had higher than expected mash efficiency so I had to top up with some water to keep the abv down to 4.5%, so you might want to just use the % grain split rather than the absolute weights.

Yes you can but it would be very expensive compared to regular taps.

It could make sense though if you only had one tap that doubled for both dispensing and bottling.

Did you drill a separate hole for the gas and drain.

Did you drill a separate hole for the gas and drain.

Yes, that’s right.

The gas line plugs into my gas manifolds (whichever the keg is plugged into) and the drain is currently into a Jerry can inside the brew shed but will be routed back out under the bar and into the drain from my under-bar sink.

The beer feed is another length of 3/8 with a black ball-lock disconnect that I just push onto the keg I want to bottle from.

This is a real problem. Like the style, want to understand the challenge of how to brew it well, can't face the thought of 35 pints of the stuff!

It's why I've never brewed a Tripel or an Impy Stout. I enjoy them a couple of times a year max. I'd never get through a 20L brew.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

At a local hotel looking at options for our silver wedding anniversary. After the meeting the bar is calling. Camden Pale it is as it’s the only ale on tap.

Agreed
Those styles you mention I would like to brew also, but I will definitely bottle condition the batch so they don't take up space in the kegerator and I can take time drinking. I have a Belgian quad that I want to brew and I plan to bottle condition. They only problem it then mucks up my beer schedule and beer stock
