What are you drinking tonight 2024.

[Alastair70]

The joys of getting old(er). Sunday night is no longer a school night, it’s now whiskey nightcap night
This is light, very smooth with a nice apple after taste. Not getting much stout, but it’s a lovely dram.

Poe's Boston Bitter, funny thing with this one, kegged two 10-litre juniors, nine litres in each one. No purging just added my sugar solution to each. That was the day before I went to Tasmania for a week.
When I got back found I hadn't sealed one of the kegs! The ring on the PRV had prevented the lid from closing. Checked if there was any pressure in the keg, zilch. Drank the first keg and tapped the other one a couple of days ago giving it a squirt of CO2.
Here it is, just as good as the previous one despite being open to the atmosphere and anything else which could have crawled into the keg. So how pedantic are homebrewers about oxidising beer? I am not saying to try this at home but don't be afraid to open a fermenter to dry hop, add finings, or keg condition. I believe Oxidising is a bigger problem for breweries not so much home brewers.

How I came back and found my keg.

Finally a pint of Nancy Naylors Landlady's offering, delicious.

Looks like a nice pint :-) I’ve never bothered much about oxidation although I am fairly careful not to splash lagers about when I’m transferring them. I believe it’s more of a problem with certain heavily-hopped styles like NEIPAs but they’re not something I want to brew

Out for a pub lunch and drinking this. It’s not bad but is served ice cold

I call it "The law of entanglement ", anything that can get entangled will.

I blame it on the pixies. The same ones that hide my glasses every time I put them down

Not been such a nice day today but the sun is shining and the rain showers have moved on leaving lots of lovely blue sky, time for a Pirate Pale.

On to the Cabalie next. Tasty!

Talisker to go with a nice piece of cherry and fruit cake. Perfect nightcap!

I’m having this at the moment because I’m cleaning my beer lines and taps so my own beers are off-line.

After some afternoon lawn cutting it’s time for refreshments. The Heavy has dropped clear quite nicely.

I needed it, you’re looking at the bit of the lawn I cut. The rest is over a foot long. It’s going to be a long weekend!

Mrs70 is very clear on her position on edible pets.
My plan to get a couple of ducks a few years back was seen through straightaway. May to September, eat duck eggs. October, eat the ducks!

A tea for me, second weekend in a row. An enforced break.

Whilst cycling on 4th I suffered a heart attack. 3 hospitals and 8 days later i was all patched up and released. Gagging for a pint.View attachment 98162

Sorry to hear this hope you are on the road to recovery and they treated you in good time

 

[foxy]

A very pleasant surprise while organising and cleaning my fermenting room. A lonely, and last bottle of Coopers Sparkling clone. Got to be my next brew.

Like others have said, speedy recovery.

I jet washed my decking and paving in the back garden today so I definitely deserve a few. Bitter to start, maybe several.
