Followed by a Coopers Sparking clone

And finally a Red Irish Ale

That's a proper 3 course liquid meal and no mistake.

 

[531Man]

Wooh hooh!
Last of the January OOD stash left over from my Beer52 subscription.
BBE 25.01.2023.
A good flavoursome Marzen lager (unfiltered natural style and full bodied they say) I can fully agree with that.

 

[531Man]

And on to BBE February beers.
A Watermelon IPA with El Dorado hops, Watermelon and grapefruit juices.
It sure is watermelon skin green!
And fruity.
Probably better suited to quaffing on a Summer's ee'n in a Sun warmed, walled garden.
But I needed to have it before then!
How do I source some more to test my hypothesis? In Kent.

A pint of my British Golden Ale.

It’s been conditioning a couple of weeks and lovely for it.

Made with EKG- a lovely pint



Rotated

Bit fed up today as my hob is completely stuffed up, so I'm having to cook my stir fry on a camping stove. Such fun.

Got a Kolsch to cheer me up

Oh no! How did that happen?

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

After a few other beers a change of pace with this stout.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Oh no! How did that happen?

It's had a crack for a long time, but I was just wiping it today and then I noticed it was loose at the front. I guess someone must've dropped a pan on it or something and not said. Good excuse to change it for an induction hob though. When I bought this house that's what I thought I was getting. Those lying bast@rd estate agents!

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Staying with stout but this one is very different. @brewhaha sent it to me as a prize (along with another) for winning the Feb competition. It’s very nice - it is sweet as you’d expect from a milk stout and has lovely chocolate and caramel flavours.

Super glue

I think it’s time to finish off those beers my wife bought me (the carpet is laid). I quite like these ring-pull crown caps.

Back on my own beer again now, Butterfly Effect APA.

 

[dave_77]

First time I have had a Kvass style beer, very tasty sour..nice and light and just over 3%

 

[Pennine]

This is one of the most stunning beers I have ever had, every offering from them has been fantastic. I need to figure out how to make one of these too. West Coast Pilsner.

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Just the kind of cloying stout that I love!

This is a good thread from which to make a start from and there's Timbo Pils by Highland Park that seems to be the benchmark. I've got one coming up soon on my 'to brew' list.

Funny I have been wanting to do one of these for a while too and had that recipe in mind. Here is the description.

Light and bright with in-your-face tropical, citrus and dank aromas from the HBC 586, Mosaic & Strata dry-hop. Balanced bitterness leads to an incredibly drinkable and repeatable West Coast Pilsner.

I am assuming it's just pils malt with a whirlpool and dry hop. It's quite bright fruitwise and I am wondering which hops does that Strata or HBC 586 which I have never tried.

This should link to the OG recipe from the brewery. It states 45% both Pale & Pilsner malt + 10% Dextrine. Highland use Saphir on the hotside and Citra / Mosaic dry hop. You could do something similar with a noble hop hotside then whatever West Coast hops coldside? I've used Strata several times and I like it, goes well with Southern Hemisphere hops or the usual Citra / Mosaic. It seems completely open to interpretation.
