First off, a quadruple by strange Steve, wonderful beer, then a bad cat imperial red, then a St. Peter honey porter.

err....

bengali :thumb:
crossing the rubicon - too bitter no flavor
my last sleighed in belgium... lush
duvel-x

and my pink grapefruit ale which has mellowed and is almost drinkable :thumb:

 

[ExpatBrewer]

A homebrewed rye amber ale... not sure how I feel about rye to be honest :hmm:
Used 15% in this recipe... it's perfectly drinkable but rye certainly adds a certain kind of sharpness to the beer...

Genuine tragedy!

Had a night off the beer (after necking a litre of Golden Pumpkin Ale) and moved over to finish off the Merlot Wine we bought "En Vrac" in France back in November.

Tragedy? Oh yes! We got home in the early hours of November 10th last year and after just under 8 weeks the whole 20 litres has mysteriously evaporated! :whistle:

The "Good News" is that the 2 x 10 litre kegs are now available for beer! :thumb:

How mysterious is that....?

Anyone had Dragon's Milk Bourbon Stout from New Holland Brewing? Have a couple of bottles at home that I was given over Christmas and going to open one tonight. Only one mind, they're 11% ABV.

Looking forward to opening a mini keg of my John Bull IPA with a Citra dry hop! After the day I have had I think I deserve a few pints!!

My Ordinary goldings bitter, Might crack open a Shepard Neame 1698 with a huge yeast stain in it, to make a culture for a future brew :)

I did that with 1698 following Myqul's excellent instructions. It worked, Sheps yeast is a powerful beast, but it left my bitter with that 'twang' you get with all Sheps beers. If you like it that's great :thumb:

I think I am drinking a John Bull IPA kit from March last year. It finished at 1.013 after being brewed to half length with some left-over wort from AG brew.

There only ever were 5 x 2L PET bottles and some bits and bobs long since "sampled". Tonight's 2L bottle was tight as a drum. On opening, it gushed like a fountain and needed 2 2L jugs and 2 pint glasses to get it under control. Totally consistent with the recorded FG.

Must say, I feared the worst, as the samples had all been "twangy" - everyone knows what that is, plus a carbonic acid taste into the bargain.

Funny thing is, it does taste like beer. Not great beer, nor even good beer, but beer nonetheless. Twangy-ness faded significantly and blending well the faint taste of carbonic acid.

So, I made it and I'm drinkin' it. :whistle:
