What are you drinking tonight.

[marlon]

On the second one: my version of a Vienna dark lager I did from an AG kit. Bit lively but quite drinkable.

No unusual twangs with this

Arkells's Mash Tun Mild, Third AG attempt, brewed in early may and bottled on 27th May. The recipe is straight out of Graham Wheeler's Brew your own British real ale book. A nice easy drinking and very flavorful brew at 3.5% I have plenty, so sesh-on!

That looks like a decent pint. I've got the same book in the man cave, might give it a go too..!

Tonight it's NUNS DELIGHT probably the best Shepherd Neame brew available. Picked up some short dated bottles in France last week (0.66p / bottle), so thought I'd 'take one for the team'... It's tough, but I'm managing....

Bishops finger is one of my favourite beers i wish i could find it at 66 pence per bottle.

...come on chippy...you could do a good clone for less than that!

Sierra Nevada pale ale and thornbridge halcyon. Both very good but the SNPA is superb if served at UK ale temperature. Never understood why the US drinkers want to freeze out all the flavour.

Did some bottling from keg earlier and ended up with a part fill of a beer fermented with wild yeast harvested from the back garden. Pale malt and carapils, hopped with HBC 431. Clean and lemony Saison character from the yeast. I have the same beer fermented with MJ M44 to compare.

Yes, I agree, the clues are easy on the Brewery website. It will be something like 90% Pale malt and 10% Crystal - probably fairly dark Crystal or some a bit light, some very dark?
Hops will be - let's think now, oh! East Kent Goldings. Fairly bitter it is, so maybe to something like 40 IBU's? Probably a little light on finishing hops by contemporary HB standards.
5% for the draught and 5.4% for the bottled beer, so it says.

Brewing software facilitates the recipe. The final product is quite yeast driven with this style (as usual). Is there a bottle conditioned Shepherds Neame beer? I have a vague recollection that there may have been one within living memory?

Had a second bottle this evening of a Vanilla Bourbon Stout (Greg Hughes) bottled on 3rd November last year. There is still a fair "whoosh" of whisky after nine months, but I was a bit heavy handed with the bottle of Bourbon, bought especially, since I am not a great fan of spirits.

Another 3 months, perhaps?

That sounds about right Slid. The bottle conditioned Sheps is their 1698. I cultured up the yeast from a bottle of it a while ago using Myqul's recipe. It worked really well and the ferment went brilliantly. But what a beast it is..! It went bananas. I used a Wherry kit and just swopped the yeast but it tasted like all Sheps brews, with that certain background twang you always get with all their bitters - the one that tells you...yep.....that's a Sheps brew...

Homebrew is 30p a bottle but I don’t take it to a pub and drink it.
My bottleshop/ micropub Has a great atmosphere and is full of likeminded people whom have an appreciation of good beer and like a chat, and it gives me a couple of hours peace from the grandkids and wife. So I don’t mind the extra cost.
Mind you, based on that mark up, I think I’ll start a bottleshop of my own, mmmmmm!.!?.
