Was this what Esteban was searching for in his golden condor? One for the '80s kids.

Day 3 of being home alone. Living the dream.
Fajitas cooking. A Märzen to wash it down

Pretty decent for alcohol free.

Something to compare my version to.

Mine is much darker, but I have seen them both Amber and light, I prefer if mine was lighter.

Taste - not much in them, this is more bready whilst mine is more toasty. Last night I increased the carb in mine and its a lot of difference

 

[Leon103]

Drinking on my own.
Anyone else doing damp January?

Another Märzen, had this one before. A lovely smokey beer.

Is that your own brew, and if so do you have a link to the recipe?

In Edinburgh this weekend for SWMBO’s birthday. Loving it so far as there are plenty of decent pubs. Also had a pint of Trooper - Day of the Dead.

Yes, here it is

Never got round to updating this last week but on the 11th I brewed a Marzan, my first attempt at the style. Below is the recipe. Should have been a pretty simple brew day but it was full of errors.

First off the bottom of grain basket came loose, I was stirring the mash early on and didn't know why my hand was getting burnt, I lifted the basket out and realised the bottom wasn't attached. It was not so long ago that i got rid of some old fermenters, realising I needed to decant all the wort and grain to refill left me a little puzzled. Luckily I managed to have a enough pots and pans.

Second error came shortly after, in the above error I turned the AIO off, when turning it back on I automatically thought it was still on the mash programme - wrong it was on boil, luckily I noticed within minutes and it only hit about 70c. After sorting all that I put it to boil and went to get a stiff drink, only I didn't press start, when I came back 10 minutes later it was cooling rather than boiling.

All in all it made for a much longer day. End result, 2.5l over what I wanted but also went over my efficiency so all good. Sat at 10c fermenting away lovely.

Amazing!
SWMBO'd joined me in having a early (my) Camden not-so-pale ale.
Lovely, light and hoppy despite the colour.

Next up was my KCB. I must save some for next week to share with my BiLaw.
That could be a toughy.

The on to my Kent Gold ale with my own First Gold hops.

So tasty and rich I just had to pour another!
Cheers everyone!

Love a Triple. Must give that a try.
Now a Quad - that needs a beef and cherry casserole for company!

Drinking local beer. Pairs well with cheese. Not the dairy variety, but TopGun Maverick, Jennifer Connelly being it's only highlight thus far.

Just poured a beavertown neipa, tasted odd and synthetic..it was given to me on my birthday..had to pour it..awful

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

In one of the airport bars having a Devils backbone Vienna lager and a Pernicious by Wicked Weed brewing.

Edit: then I got some ginger flavoured monstrosity. God knows how many shots are in this! I think they're trying to kill me!

First was my Pale Ale followed by my Golden Ale. Golden Ale took some getting down following the Pale Ale with its huge IBU hit of English hops. The Golden Ale with Noble hops tasted so sweet with lots of malt coming through. Having an Extra Stout now just to get rid of the taste.

Got off the plane this morning and now we're in Starbucks having an almond biscotti oat latte, and a regular latte (Jim's). We only got to Northampton (from Heathrow) and the car needs charging already. Humph.

We're going back to the USA in June so the diet starts tomorrow.
