Having what is the only beers we have whilst watching the farmer rounding up the newly born lambs.
Today I’ve been cleaning my beer lines and I gave the taps a strip down and deep clean. Mucky little buggers needed it too. Taken the Porter off and put a stout in its place. This though is my ordinary bitter which I’m drinking outside in the hazy sunshine - wasn’t expecting much sun today.
Having a pint of Heverlee after a walk on Castlerock beach. What a great afternoon. (I’ve included my daughters finger for scale)
Nice glass.

Not bad but a bit sweet for me but maybe all porter is? Head did not last long but salt from the crisps I scoffed probably didn't help!
Preprandial time!
My Camden Amber ale 'clone'.
Rich citrussy nose and taste.
Then I remembered SWMBO'd wine, so here it is:
I'll be on that soon with the Seville marmalade roast lamb. An Ottolenghi recipe I am reliably informed.
A full on Spanish red to accompany.

Ah…but how big is your daughter? She may be tiny in which case that’s a small beer, or she may be a giant

Thought there would be more at the bar. Weather was decent today.
For me, a Märzen, trying to empty the keg.
I deserve this. Been chipping wood since 12, aching all over now.

This standby is much better balanced. As they might say in Woodsetton "It's bostin ay it?"
I’m having a glass of that Stout I put on tap today.

They've left now, I dropped them off at the pool earlier.

So...
Had the amber, very nice caramel flavour. Should be really nice once it has lagered for a while.
BUT...
Had another of the lager/base brew. Flat again. I tipped the bottle out and it had the carbonation sugar on the bottom of the bottle. I don't understand. The base brew was the heart of all of them and the rest have all carbonated. I had all four brews in demijohns and all were blipping away apart from the Amber which I had the temperature probe in. So they all had live yeast fermenting away and the lager/base tastes like beer not wort. So why have these bottles not carbonated ?
I'm assuming the fix is easy - open the rest of the base/lager bottles and add more yeast but what has happened ? Its like they have been pasturised
