Whats everyone drinking?

[A T]

Fools Gold :grin:

 

[J_P]

Tonight I are mainly drinking Lucky7 Yorkshire Bitter, oddly enough each time I brew it it tastes more and more like Jennings Cumberland Ale so I'm not complaining :party:

 

[Wez]

I've had a bottle of Batemans XXXB now on the Harvest Gold (kegged version) Mrs Wez has tried a bottled one and a side by side comparison confirms that this beer is definately best bottled. The keg beer isn't 'bad' just dissapointing after trying the bottled one

I had a nice surprise when the shopping was delivered too, Mrs Wez ordered me some Anchor Steam Beer (never tried) and some SNPA :drink: I think I'll save those until Friday night

 

[Wez]

More Harvest Gold for me :drink:

Started a bit early tonight ah well, I am on holiday and I've 'worked' quite hard today

In my opinion I deserve a beer :drunk:

 

[Frisp]

tonight its Big kenny x5 or 6.
I would love to know what BK tastes like when its been kegged for more than 10 days, but alas I doubt if this cornie will see the week out

 

[Wez]

:lol: :lol: I've said it before but IMO some beers are better young, pretty sure AT agreed that BK is one of those :

 

[Wez]

Oh, the beer engine is getting hammered tonight, and so am I :drunk:

 

[Vossy1]

Good man...enjoy :drink:

 

[steve_flack]

SN Celebration. I'm wondering whether to open my bottle of Stone Arrogant ******* this weekend...

 

[A T]

Who's Your Daddy, 3 pints only and i'm really feeling it. This is a serious hard beer, bit to much for A T

:lol: :lol: I've said it before but IMO some beers are better young, pretty sure AT agreed that BK is one of those :

I think all beer is better young :lol: :lol:

I'm 'aving O'Haras Irish Stout tonight followed by some yummy London Pride

 

[Dunfie]

I'm on some very young Hefe this evening. Think I'll settle in for a couple more :

 

[Wez]

Just tried a Harvest Gold with the sparkler* fitted to the beer engine (reasonably tight), I think I prefer it :hmm: This is going to be a regular here I think :thumb:

*disclaimer, I normally have all my beers without sparkler, let the great sparkler debate begin :lol:

 

[steve_flack]

Tonight's beers were

1) SNPA
2) My Dubbel
3) Westvleteren 12

I also got my grain and water sorted out for tomorrow's brew session.

And now....to bed...up early to get the mash on.

Tonight I am mostly drinking Liberty or bust my trial with liberty hops a nice pint similar to cascade but not a strong flavour more of a aroma hop but used in large quantities oh well will know for next time :grin:

 

[Wez]

Looks a nice pint :thumb:

What was the grain bill? My Harvest Gold is similar in colour, pale and just a touch of medium crystal.

[Wez]

Nice looking recipe

How do you find the TW? I sometimes get a sort of cream-soda taste in beer that I use it in :? first wort hopping IMO is the best thing so far that I've changed about my brewing, how do you find it?

 

[ni9e]

TW is cream soda'ry you hit the nail on the head I could not think of it I never actualy first wort hopped I waited for the boil now you mentioned it that could be the cause of the lack of flavour :hmm: there are hoppy flavours but not enough for my taste and not quite bitter enough.

Going T total during the week at the mo, so 1st real sup tonight :party:

Lots of Tesco's finest IPA, I've said it before and I'll say it again, a fine brew.
My fave all time bottle conditioned ale, Special London has now been eclipsed by this brew.

I must get up to Alloa to see how the William Bros make it :hmm:
