Did my first extract beer as part of a HB club challenge neipa with kveik yeast. So much easier than a full brew day.

Keg kicked as I was pouring 2 glasses for the wife and I earlier. Managed to pour her beer but not mine. Off I went to the offy. So it's a sixer of Moosehead for me tonight.

Disappointing. I was expecting something more, but it was just a pleasant blonde - no better than a Leffe.

BP historic lager (really a pseudo lager with CML Kolsch yeast). Best lager I've ever brewed. And I must have brewed, ooooo I don't know, at least.. four?
Seriously though, it's very nice. Shows you can't go wrong with yummy Saaz!

Second beer of the evening is Brouwerij De Ranke's Guldenberg.

At the first taste it was wonderful. Halfway down the glass I'm not so sure. I think perhaps either 8% is too strong for me or the Hallertauer Mittelfrüh hops are wrong for the beer

BP Historic IPA - Pale malts plus the classic Fuggles / EKG combo. This is, without doubt, the best beer I have ever brewed. So tasty and juicy. Nom nom......
Darkstar Hophead clone not conditioned yet but very sessionable. Loving how 15 months in I can make something like this. No adjuncts but great head retention. Good body for a 3.8%er.

Hey Stigman. Where is the H/B club based in town, and do you have some info. Cheer's :hat:

I'm drinking this tonight:
and I wish I could share it with you. Not because it's a stunning pint, it's not quite that yet. I'm using 100% Bestmalz Red-X at an OG of around 1050 (as recommended by the malster). It's a difficult malt: a little malt forward, but with a hint of acidity after the swallow. Refreshing, but "creamy" as well.
Made my first batch with Aramis for bittering and Barbe-Rouge for flavour- too grassy. My second batch, the one in the picture uses Magnum for bittering and Huell Melon for flavour- lovely, but not stunning.
I'm sure that if I can find the right hop or combination of hops, I can really make this malt sing. I'd wanted to stay all German or Alsatian, but ready now to move further afield.
Has anybody had any experience of using Red-X at 100% of the grain bill. If so, with what degree of success.
I should say that when I gave this to a German lass, she thought it was the dog's bollokcs, but I know it could be better.

Usually 3pm Cafe beermoth but sometimes we have it at beer nouveau brewery, the owner still comes to meetups and along with a few others runs the group. There's a Facebook group and Twitter if that helps.
