    Collaborative Brew Schedule - 2024

    I've just opened 2 bottles of my Scottish...not the greatest of beers so I'll skip this one. Not sure if it's just the style, my grain choice, or something else but I wouldn't want to force this on anyone😂. My Biere de Guard is nearly ready for bottling, hopefully this will be better. 🤞

    What are you drinking 2024.

    Cool, glad it was still tasting ok👍 I enjoyed that beer, pity I've none left.

    Collaborative Brew Schedule - 2024

    Just bottled my Heavy....came out at 3.7%. Quite a bland tasting beer at the moment. Hopefully will improve greatly once conditioned. Feel like I'm ahead of schedule....need to plan my Biere de Garde now for brewing next week. And then think about the May swap one. 👍

    Got my Scottish Heavy on the go yesterday 🎉. FV taste was good...bit more bitter than expected but that will probably fade. I'd never had done this one left to my own devices, but having looked into it and read around, very curious how this will turn out. Having to be super organized this year...

    Drinking my final swap beer tonight...imp stout from @pilgrimhudd. Opened with a gently hiss and struck me as a thicker beer when pouring compared to the others. Not much aroma but found this to be more bitter than I was expecting. Couldn't place the flavours, but maybe malty. This one had a...

    Great stuff. I don't go through grain very fast but it's good to find a couple of local people to spit bags with. I've looked online at the Place to Brew but never visited. Have a nice little setup at home so never needed to use it. Sounds and looks great though. 👍

    Great. I'm hoping to get something ordered and collected next week. I'll let you know once I see the state of my brew shed over the weekend. I haven't done anything since June so it may be a mess!! 👍

    Hi Chico, yes it would be pre-crushed. I was thinking of just splitting the bag, probably using bathroom scales 😂. I've a large blue barrel I'd use to store mine in. Do you have anything suitable?

    My second Imp Stout swap was by @Stu's Brews. This opened with a slight hiss and poured nicely. It had a thin head which dissipated quickly. Nice aroma, maybe a hint of chocolate. Warm taste, maybe fruity and dark choc. A lovely alcohol warmth when drinking. No idea on the %abv but it struck me...

    Had this lovely beer from @Caramel Ox the other night. Again, top marks for your labels and cap decoration. This poured with a very thin head. Lovely colour. I couldn't detect much of an aroma,but I'm not sure if that was me missing something. This was an easy beer to drink, hiding the 8%...

    I'm thinking of buying a sack of MO and a sack of Golden Promise (both £30 or just over for 25kg crushed) from Murphy &Sons. I won't use that much grain over a year, so wondering if anyone local to Stapleford would be interested in splitting the sacks? 🍻🍻
