Looking at maybe brewing this tomorrow night. All going well👍
After that it's a run of Belgian beers
👍🏼 Tasting nice now..wasn't sure if I had overdone the melanodian but is smoothing out nicely. I'm bottling some Belgian pale and lager this week so I'll get some in the post

Sounds good 👍
I will have a black IPA and a doppelbock to send in return.
 
Time for that 10% Belgian Strong. It’s the start of the keg so it’s not clear because I’ve picked up a bit of sediment from the bottom of the keg.

Starting with the big guns tonight, this 8% DIPA from Good Things. It’s quite intense but to me is lacking the balance, juiciness and smoothness of @dan125 ‘s DIPA.

Commercial DIPA.... Always a gamble 😂

Planning to bottle some lager and WCIPA later in the week. Will get at least one of them in the post to you. 🍻
 
18 months since my jaunt to France. At the end of treasure brought back. Duck confit in a tin and Leffe Royal Blond.
The Leffe is sweet but not as sweet as others. Fuller flavour than regular blond, spicy fruity notes. Easy drinking. 7.5%. Pleased it's a 750ml corked bottle, added to the theatrics opening the bottle.
Tinned confit is a treat. Ditto cassoulet. I have a fondness for bottled fish soup too, the red stuff as murky as the water in a Breton harbour.
 
A can of 7.2% Jackhammer.
What I do not understand is the IBU's are anything from 125 to 250 depending on where you look and yes it has bitterness but if I did a beer with that IBU I would not be able to drink it?

Agree. I brewed a dipa before Christmas with 85 ibu’s and it was deffs more bitter tasting than jack hammer. Not like brew dog to over hype their beers though 🙄

Oh, me too! Have a Belgian Blonde bubbling away, Saison to brew next weekend. It's good to know I'm on trend. athumb..

Today I am trying out this one supposedly like and alt bier. it's ok but not like something in dusseldorf.

Aren't IBU' s theoretical after a certain point?
Not sure Clint but sometimes the IBU's lie to your taste buds. I have had low ones where people say its quite bitter and high ones where its there but not as much as you would have thought.
Maybe one of the scientist could educate us?
