Bottled my latest English IPA. Looking OK at this stage. A light malty note on the nose and a good hit of bitter hops with some floral aromatics too. Carries the 6.5% or so abv easily too. We will see how it turns out.

Checked this this morning and after a very vigorous 24hrs it is down to 1.016 already. Tasted it and no apparent off flavours so will leave for a week and keg.
that was a fast one

I did a few batches last year pitching on top of a slurry being careful to go from weaker to stronger and lighter to darker. Most went 48 hours vigourously and finished-up with no issues. Just to be sure though, like you're doing I let them sit on the yeast for at least a week once the airlock stopped even though they tasted fine.
It turns out that lazy works great sometimes!

First brewday in a wee while for me today and a pleasingly routine one. The purpose of today was to try Diamond Lager yeast, and so I have, in a German style, rather sinple lager of pilsner malt and carapils, with a 10g bittering charge of Magnum to 19 IBU and 40g of Tettnang at 10 mins for flavour taking IBU to about 21, and an OG of around about 1.045.

One thing I had intended to do from my last lager where I was otherwise pleased with everythi g including the W34/70 yeast, was drop the ABV doen a touch, so this one will likely come out below 5% and thats just fine.

200g caragold

Pushing the limits.
im brewing again tomorrow but not sure what yet. I’ve pilsner malt some pale malt and Maris otter as well as a load of crystal malt and some rye malt and some roasted malts (still have to sort you for them ) might do some sort of Belgian imperial pilsner thing.
