What are you drinking tonight 2024.

[531Man]

Plastic bottles. Only primed with 1 drop each and none 'feel' too/over carbed.

Good news, but watch it, as S. diastaticus is a 'slow burner' only gradually converting remaining dextrins and starch to fermentable sugars.
Which your Windsor yeast then does.
Your one added drop could unintentionally become topped up.
Whoosh!

A Cobbler's Best Bitter while enjoying the late afternoon sun. Another 11 days and we are into autumn.

Time for one more before I fire up the Barbie.

Decided to have a sipping beer while the corn grilled. My Baltic Porter, strewth! I was expecting a sweet hit after my Best Bitter, this is about two years old and has now taken on a strong licorice taste, not sweet at all. Extremely happy, and as usual down to my last half dozen stubbles.

Last night was a Jenlain Bière de Garde Ambrée, followed by a palate-freshening Low ABV elderflower pale I made last spring.

What was the Ambree like and where did you get it ? I'm in the planning stage of a BdG brew and I would like to have a few bottles so I know what I'm aiming for.

Tried my 1st dark mild after 17 days in bottle.

Gushed and the yeast (windsor) was floating all over.

Didn't taste anything 'off...

Will try another in a few days.

May or may not send in for the Feb dark beers.

Include a cloth to wipe up after opening

Had a couple of pints.after work. Manabrea which I have never seen before. Stated a premium Italian lager. It was very nice and refreshing, good malty back notes with some decent hop flavour. Quick good shows it's available in supermarkets

From memory it is brewed by Tenants (or is that Tennants ?), fairly sure its made in Scotland.

It's been over 30 years since I've last tasted this, pleased to say it's still a top beer. More will be bought soon

Last year I was out in the countryside and the farmer had been tidying up the gorse bushes which had exposed an old bottle of Newcy Brown. It had the old screw top lid (which meant it was from the 60s). There was still some dregs in the bottom. I was tempted to see if it could be harvested so I contacted BrewLab to see if they were interested in it. They weren't .

Thought it might be brewed in the UK, although my limited Google search didn't bring anything up.

Looks like they are a sole UK importer/distributor (the article is from 2014 so maybe they do brew it now ?). Another article says they are Heverlee too.

First try for me, TT has quite a reputation but doesn’t see that much action on this thread. I’m not sure about it, certainly it has a fine balance.

I am a fan.

What are the odds of you both having the same worktop and tiles!

 

[YeastFace]

Tastes much more like maple syrup than when I last had it

I have 2 of them in the fridge at home but haven’t bothered with them as I’ve lost heart in brewdog lately. Are they decent ?

Yep, still a top beer (in my opinion)

And now onto one of the top IPA's
