Coopers Dark Ale, 6% with Mosiac, carbed like a lager.

Started with a commercial local brew for a change - BISHOP'S FINGER....It's good to gauge your own brew against a regular professional one now & again. Followed with mine....it is sooo much better ...all doubts dissolved....job done..!

A few festivals endeavour pales. Second time I did this kit. It's pretty tasty :grin:

Finished off with a Rosemary and Simcoe pale, too tired for another.

Don't get me wrong, I'm the wrong end of starting at half five but I seem to have found the John Bull IPA (from the last ever Tesco Sale that we're ever going to talk about). Brewed 25/04/17 - 20/05/17, S04, 1kg BE, 50g of honey 52g of Crystal 3.9AA, 20m boil and the hop bag added to the FV for the ferment. OG:1060-FG:1007 7%. Bottled this on 20/05/17, it's gorgeous.

Just bottled and mini kegged my last one on sat last weekend, dry hopped with 50g of citra....looking forward to popping the first one in a few weeks

Ah but what happens when you compare to something a bit more technically competent, maybe something by Stone, Kernel, Cloudwater, even Brewdog? That raises the bar a little.

Yep. IMHO. At least 90% of commercial super market beer is rubbish, especially anything sold in a clear bottle. Most well executed homebrew should at a minimum compete.

Woooh, that could be great in six months time. Mine was.

Mangrove Jack M31 made some very good beers for me. Will do a set again maybe next year.

Yep....very true. "Better than something from Sheps" isn't that much of a challenge:lol:

But... one small step for mankind - a giant leap for a little man :smile:

Look out Brewdog - I'm on yer case..!

Just a bit more practice needed....:drink:

Tonight, appearing on the JJSH beer show, we have;

Banks's Amber Ale - I am assuming this will be pants, its 89p a bottle in Aldi.
Hobgoblin IPA - Its new, so I thought I'd give it a go, but Marstons really are thrashing the nads of the Hobgoblin brand IMHO.
Rocking Rudolph - Never had this before
Aldi / Marstons Medusa - I really like this. I'm getting into Red ales for some reason.

 

[sdt7618]

Youngs pilsner, brewed with s-23 lager yeast, with a decent dry hop of mosaic. Must admit not feeling the mosaic as much as I enjoyed cascade.

 

[Leon103]

Finished the mini keg of oatmeal stout, then a English ipa and now a black IPA. This is over a year old now and still tastes spot on. think I need to make it again soon, not many left now.

 

[Manxnorton]

might try this one the nite!

Does 1pm count as "Tonight"?

If so, I am indulging in a litre of "Low ABV Pale Ale" that I brewed back in August and a week ago tasted strongly of grapefruit!

I checked the brew (it's in a Wilco Keg) today and discovered that the grapefruit taste had gone; so I asked SWMBO to check. I got the "Can't taste anything but beer!" reply so I am amazed.

I can only assume that there must have been something up the spout when I poured the original "taster" a week ago because this is the very first time that a "grapefruit tasting brew" has come good! :thumb: :thumb:

Drank this the other night and probably one of the best Pilsners/lagers I’ve come across.

Marlon's Pride tonight. Why is it that your brew gets better the further down the keg you get..?
.....answers on a postcard....:-?
