Is the recipe for this on your brew thread. I have 100g of first gold, 70g of challenger and some EKG to use up. Any suggestions are welcome. I could maybe do a bitter or am English pale

This one, though I did a First Gold bitter awhile ago which I think was better, can't find it but I will have a look.

So this for a 18l batch had

3.8kg of pale
250 crystal 115
50g roast barley

Sparge with 6l

30 min boil,
25g challenger @30
20g challenger @5
15g challenger hopsteep @80, allowing to slowly cool for 20 mins.

Cml Atlantic pitched at 22c, no temp control, just left it to do its thing in the utility.

Can’t believe the difference in the weather, after a lovely coastal walk it’s time for a beer.
A pint of Sea Fury, not sure if I’ve had it before buts a lovely pint.

Kitchen duties and a pale ale this has been a winner for those who have tried it (Big Sip) inspired. I didn't really have a recipe for this but have one now and it is next but one in line for brewing.

Kitchen duties involved making a lamb biryani, added some spuds to give it more body, will be fun watching my wife trying not to get any spuds on her plate.

The Czech beer tradition is deeply rooted, which is reflected in an impressive beer consumption of 181.7 litres per capita per year.
The quality of Czech beers is known to be very high.
And so today I am tasting an American Amber Ale "Rudoch" from Pivovar Falkenstejn, Krasna Lipa (CZ).

A beer I’ve had before and really like, @phildo79‘s hazelnut brown, fresh out of the keg this afternoon.
Big toasty roast flavours tied together with the hazelnut. It really is delicious, it’s your signature brew mate and it’s a corker! Hope the dry Irish stout I gave you lives up!

Copper top table! I seen a chap get hit on the bonce with a smaller version many moons ago!
The wild west fight that followed was epic!
Windows in the lot!!
 
My Manchester trip hasn’t been a great beer experience- I can’t include a brewery with work unfortunately. In the hotel bar the best available is Camden pale - it isn’t even a national hotel chain so that’s a mystery.

Hit 2 local pubs tonight, 1 had nothing local, the other - a Robinsons owned pub - had only one of their beers?

Ha, thought you were saving the hazelnut brown until the weekend? Currently enjoying a dry Irish stout from @Alastair70 and it is yummy. Carb level spot on, that almost charred caramel flavour being the dominant one. So this is what Beamish is like off the nitro, eh?

Sorry, can't seem to upload the photo.

Ha ha! Not working tomorrow and the temptation got the better of me 😂
Glad you enjoyed the carbed version of the Beamish-ish. It's going to be the first brew in the new pad when I get moved in.
