What are you drinking tonight 2024.

[Rodcx500z]

After a great bbq with family and a few friends, time for a relaxing pint, was on raspberry vodka with ice and lemonade

Drinking a few Viennas from a split batch I did recently with Einstein and Nova. Way preferred the standard one early but to be honest the longer it goes the closer they get. I would say the Einstein gives a better malt sweetness though.

I think it’s the 1 I shared. Possibly.
How did it turn out ?
I think they use the verdant yeast according to the guy that took the last tour I was on

You don't have a scraggy one by any chance?

SWMBO bought these today in Sainsburys i have read the label and the description is exactly the same does anyone know why the labels are different colour.

Quercus 22 - a fantastic barley wine from Dogs Fall

Another catch up.
My Camden, in the late day's Sun.
So well needed after a day refitting a dropping window on our K11 Micra.
A pita job.

Then for dinner farm shop butcher's beef and this, a serious Romanian Pinot Noir from Waitrose.

It was a beautiful day overall, despite the Araldite episode in the middle.

Run that past me again.....
Watering the garden!?
Remind me again where you are,
Timbuktu?
Surely the water table is only at grass root level throughout the entire British Isles.
Or is it a case of, "I'm just getting another glass of lager, luv.
This garden watering is such dehydrating hot work in today's sunshine."

Home again now and just poured myself a beer, not one of mine yet because nothing is on tap and I want to clean my beer lines before I put beers on. This will do nicely to get me started.

A good Beer of Kent to welcome you home.
Enjoy.

Was the Challenger added at different stages, or only for the full boil bittering as I do?
If you do, what does it give that you like?
I ask as I have quite a fair amount of it in stock.

Just for the full boil, I have made this bitter now with Challenger and Northern Brewer both as the primary bittering hop at 60 minutes.
As the ABV goes up I go for a higher AA count, Super Pride, Ella, and Target I then use the Alchemy Overlord for dosage (SMPH Model)

Many thanks for the details, I love that name 'Alchemy Overlord', I'll give that a look.
I have only used the Brewersfriend calculator so far, and then often only after the brew for the final IBU.
It's not completely random though!
I do know the ballpark that it will be, from the recipe.
Variation often occurs en-route.
As well as Challenger, I have a fair quantity of Northern Brewer available too, 'happen.

Pots, baskets, beds all need watering.
It's at least two pints of beer worth of work

Left the office a couple of minutes too late to make the 15:07 so decided to wait in a Weatherspoons rather than a station platform for half an hour, Black Adder Stout, not the best beer in the world but it was £2.49 so cant really complain.

Ran out of ink in the printer

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

As planned I cleaned my beer lines today. Time for the first of my own beers since getting back from Cyprus. Best bitter, lovely!

 

[Chippy_Tea]

No work tomorrow and as SWMBO bought these yesterday it would be rude not to give one a try.

A celebration ale to follow -

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Followed the Full English Best Bitter with a 49’er Stout and now moved on to my Pirate Pale.

 

[dave_77]

Had a quick trip to London Bridge to meet a mate for a few beers and watch the England match...Beavertown and Brixton were the best on offer for £7.50 a pint

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Out for lunch with the grand-children. I’m having a bottle of Sharps Atlantic.
