I need to get my eyes tested, I first read your comment as "a quick w**k in the sun." Lockdown is not good

Just a little taste of my Vintage Ale in the blazing sun - unexpected treat according to the forecast!
The beer is still young but the flavours are starting to come together at 6 weeks conditioned. I expected this to need three months conditioning and I think that’s probably about right. At the moment it’s still a little alcoholic and the malt is a bit hidden as a result.

Cracked open the second bottle of Tin Miner's Ale (GH recipe) last night.
Really nice, complex taste. I got orange, chocolate and malt on the palate. Kind of reminded me of a badger beer. Of 50 AG brews, I've never brewed anything like it before.

This is really good, fruity with cherry but very smooth.
Apparently a blend of young and barrel aged beer, the barrel flavour just comes through the right amount.

First sample of my 12.2% quad today, well it is Wednesday after all
Amazing colour considering I only used Pilsner, extra pale and homemade candi syrup. I got an immediate hit of breadcrusts whilst I was pouring followed by a rich dark fruit fig aroma. Lots of the same in the flavour, very complex and boozy, low bitterness and quite sweet, but not cloying, it actually finishes fairly dry with a slight velvet chocolate lingering on the tongue. Nice medium carbonation and a small creamy white head that fades to a thin rim and then disappears. It's still fairly young, I bottled this on the 31st of January. I feel it could use a few more months to mellow out the alcohol, but it's pretty damn good either way.

@Hazelwood Brewery's Czech Pilsner, kegged it a couple of days ago and forced carbed over 24hrs @ 40psi
Nice drink, although a bit young

i had no idea it was touted as a barley wine either. finding it rather inoffensive. cheers!

It came out at 4.7% (OG 1.044 FG 1.008) used a crushed campden tab for water profile, I might have overdone it

You've obviously done far too much walking, it's affected your eyesight
Out of interest - what water profile do you use in the pils HB?
I start with RO water and just add Calcium Sulphate (0.15g/l) and Calcium Chloride (0.05g/l).

Munich Dunkel, six months ago I'd never tasted it but first one tonight from a batch I bottled a month or two back and the second on draught. I really love this beer.
Did you follow the recipe to the letter? I really enjoyed that one, I must do it again!

Some bottling tonight so thought I would have my DIPA to get me in the mood.
Interesting. I'm just drinking my lager/pils and although its soft enough I'm wondering if a touch more sulphate would improve the crispness
Packaged 23l of Belgian Dubbel into 10 bottles and a Corny. So time for a pint!
Coopers 86 day Pilsner, bit frothy as its on the short line but its still fizzy and makes you wobbly so all is good.

Yes, maybe. Your sulphate is quite low compared to mine. I mash at 145F (62.8C) too.

Wilko classic lager artisan range, not bad for a cheap one. Comes with 10g of hops. If I did it again I'd probably double up on the dry hop. Sorry about the background but if you've seen any of my other posts you'll know I've been blackmailed. Where's my brewzilla???
That's the other thing.... mashed at 64 and only managed 77% attenuation. Another 5% would probably make all the difference.
