Given the occasion me and @Hoppopotamus are enjoying an old bottle of Tetley's

Recipe and measurement

I just poured the first pint of this today, final recipe below. Very easy drinking, not sure why I kept with Nottingham on this though as I do think a bit more body would have benefited it, probably wouldn't have hurt to increase the bittering charge slightly either.

Happened to be putting on a brew the day after our smart meter was installed and it turns out the hob uses about 20p per hour, which was a pleasant surprise actually

Just put my first attempt at a mead into the fermenter, consisted of 1kg honey (mix of Acacia, Orange Blossom & Rowse organic) & 2.2L of water. Yeast nutrient and lalvin k1v-1116 yeast used. OG: 1.1

Checked this yesterday, down to 1.004 already, light sourness present

Bottled my lichtenhainer today, came in at a fg of 1.004 for a 3.8% ABV. Noticeable smokyness and very mild sourness at this point

Hi All, just wondering if anyone else had this experience using the Philly Sour yeast. It was very slow to start, however over the first weekend it was fermenting there developed a krausen ring mark ( I was away so missed the foam), now two weeks into fermentation it has picked up activity and...

Dark mild today, hit the target OG 🎊

Started a bit of a mixed ferm secondary trial today, I've split a packet of 5112 Brett brux across an Imperial stout (1.021 - Skare) and a "Orval inspired" pale ale (1.010 - lallemand abbaye). I've also added some boon dregs to a separate portion of the stout.

Brewing a Big Bad Wolf pale ale tonight, using up some ingredients

Just bottling the Belgian strong brewed with @Hoppopotamus. ABV - 15.6% Fg - 1.018 Attenuation - 85%

I've cracked open the first of my barleywine after 7 months, nice at this point but I reckon I'll wait until at least 12 months for the next one
