What are you drinking tonight 2023.

[RoboBrewBot5000]

The last bottle of a wheat lager I did back in November. This was a somewhat experimental brew but resulted in a really clean and crisp lager. I had used up some left over American hops so bittered and whirlpooled with those, which left quite a nice subtle fruitiness. This beer is not unlike Neck Oil, and I plan to rebrew with an AIPA hopping schedule to see if I can make a solid IPL.

Off to Germany tomorrow so I should be all over this thread with various German beers!

Home again now, all the Belgians are gone. I have this left over from a gift box of beers so finishing it off now.

Had high hopes for this, but it was a huge disappointment- no flavour

That's a shame, Buxton are usually very good in my opinion.

Sainsbury's purchase..

It's an imperial stout kind of night.

Part of one of my Mother's day presents, from my Tiny Rebel blending box, I'm having this Blue Razz Hard Candy Ice Sour.

Very interesting! Like a blue raspberry ice pop mixed with a stick of mint flavoured rock!

Green beer, the world's gone mad.

Been stuck on the mild and enjoying them, not 100% lacks body but so easy drinking.

First sample of the TETB London Bitter v3.0
It's far too young as it was only kegged on Fri but you have to check the carbonation, right?

It's a great illustration of the effectiveness of auxiliary finings. When I racked it three days ago it still looked a lot like this (down to a severely messed up fermentation because I was flat out with covid for two weeks just after pitching, so I had to restart it and it was in the FV for a month all in all)

And now...

This one is my least favourite of my box, but it's not unpleasant. Still nice.

The husband is hammering his NEIPA keg so I'm getting some while it's still there!

What was your recipe? Sounds about perfect to me.

Drink it fresh!!!

 

[Pennine]

Back to the Munich bitter, this one is getting better with age. A lot of fruit, mostly raising and cherry, but there is also some orange citrus in there too, it's also on the sweeter end. The bitterness is very well balanced in this one.

 

[Pennine]

And a novalager, I forgot what I hopped this with. Not bad and getting better with time.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Not really a fan of this one.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I had a couple of pints of Shepherd Neame Maverick on cask earlier and it was very nice. Now a pint of my Butterfly Effect.

 

[Pennine]

Here is the first bottle of the muscavado bitter. It's not very good, it has the same character as when I used brown sugar in my winter warmer and I am having trouble describing what it is, maybe it's molasses flavour? There is plenty of brown sugar and alcohol in the aroma, it does smell good almost like a dubbel.

 

[Pennine]

Dumped the rest of that one. And onto the commercial stuff to give the homebrew a bit of a breather. The 2nd favorite Czech pils.

I’ve also brewed beer with muscovado thinking it would add interesting notes of molasses and I also didn’t like it.
