Porter, based on the Ace of Spades recipe from Malt Miller. Lovely combo of Centennial and Willamette attracted me to it. Slightly modified due to not having enough medium crystal, a touch of Munich and extra maris otter

Sorted
Minch malt, basically pale ale malt

No brewing but needed to get a move on with my supply chain so having blitzed my floor decided to crack on with bottling.
Just finished bottling two batches,Golden Ale #2 and Hazelwood Brewery Best Bitter #3..or maybe #4! For a satisfying total of 94 bottles. Time for a sit down then plan the assault on tonight's curry..

Tropical Stout MKII. Following my infected brew this week, I decided to use the **** weather in Central Scotland, and the wife on a late shift, to my advantage and let the wee man play his PS4 while I put a brew on. The wife's going to be ecstatic when she comes home to a house smelling of brew day. Needs must, but smelly candles on in every room now.

All went fine apart from starting the recirc pump without the tube in the grain basket. Wet sticky floor tiles.

Fingers crossed that this one doesn't get infected. Everything was deep cleaned and sanitised thoroughly. Chilling the wort at the moment.

That sounds like my house
I have fermenters hid around the house, my tropical stout was in the cupboard you keep your coat's. She told me there is a while smell of ***** coming from in there, I told her I would take a look

 

[Clint]

I desperately need to get another 3 batches on the go...stout,Tribute, Belgian.

The wife's just came home. Not a peep about smells, but she's been banned from the kitchen until I get my wort into the FV.

Second attempt at foxbat's Fuggle Duck, this one looking much more promising than my last effort. Base malt increased to allow for my less-than-stellar efficiency, and now I've nicely hit targets with 15 litres @ 1047 OG for a BHE of 68%. Lovely and clear in the testing jar too! And smells great! Just hope this liquid yeast works OK.

 

[moto748]

Well, it *was* looking more promising... no sign of life from nearly-out-of-date liquid yeast Very disappointing.

Have bunged in a packet of Wilko yeast.

Did you not make a starter

 

[Pennine]

Well since I have some Chevallier, I am going to run my nottingham verdant samplers today. I figure to do 3 one with each Nottingham and Verdant and one with a mix of both.

I'll keep the recipe very simple so I can understand the yeast and malt.

It is very unique and flavourful for a malt, definitely more to a Munich level than pale ale.

 

[moto748]

Did you not make a starter

Nope.

 

[moto748]

Looks OK now. Dried yeast went straight to work. Hopefully no harm done.
