What are you drinking tonight 2024.

[Donegal john]

Belgian pale ale for me. Then a couple of good whiskeys before bed.
Still miserable weather.
Glass was a present from daughter in Canada.

We’ve been at the pub today. Nice Sunday roast, live music from the Stark Family Band, and lots of nice beer - on this occasion from Musket Brewery.

 

[Baldylocks Brewery]

Down in the Dordogne at the mo mostly drinking Affligem plus the beers I took from home.

Yesterdays drink and my personal beer of the year Poe's Boston Bitter.

Tonight's tipple Fullers London Pride clone coming a close second to Poe's.

And bringing up the rear a Bass clone, looking forward to the next brew of this and adding 'some body'.
Reminds me of a Melbourne gangster, Mick Gatto, ex boxer he had shot Benji Veniamin a hired killer, and when the police searched his car he had a body bag in the boot. When asked by the police, 'Why the body bag' he said, 'I am keeping it for somebody' or could he have meant, some body. True story.

Home now from a pub lunch with our eldest grandson. I was drinking cask Tribute.

I’m now enjoying a glass of my Pirate Pale and the sun has just started to break through after a dull day.

About to sign in to the LAB video meeting but not before pouring a glass of my kegged best bitter. Lovely.

Another cracking caravan beer.

Poe’s Boston from the bottle

 

[Stu]

Had a small glass of my usual "Hazy Daze", except this time I used the Mango Madness yeast.
I'll stick to Verdant next time.

It's fairly flat, despite being fermented under pressure and served at 20 psi.

Should it have more pressure? Any ideas how I can make it slightly more fizzy? I'm not after a lager style fizz, but would like a bit more.

How are you finding it I have switched the hops for one brew but back to the original EKG.

Pacific Ale by Stone and Wood. Interesting story behind Stone and Wood started by three young brewing enthusiasts who worked at Fosters, sold their brewery and a couple of others they had acquired sold their interests to Lion for $550 million not bad for a hobby-led business. Bloody refreshing beer it is too.

The official recipe as per an ex Stone & Wood brewer is
OG 1.043
IBU 24
60% Pils malt
40% Wheat Malt
Galaxy @ 20min – 6 IBU
Galaxy @ 10min – 9IBU
Galaxy @ 5min – 9 IBU
Galaxy @ 0min – 1.3g/L
Galaxy Dry Hop – 3g/L - 7 days
Yeast – Safale – US-05

The usual suspect to bring up the rear is Poes Boston Bitter.

That's not the yeast fault. You still need to carb it depite it being fermented under pressure. How is it currently stored ?

Yeah, aware that's not a yeast problem. It's in a corny keg in the fridge with a tap.

Pours OK - although not as lively as I'd expect, came out with a decent head.
