Dull as dish water here

Mine kicked last weekend so guttered for not getting some more feedback for it.

Evening all. Belgium Pale need this keg now and I’m sort of bored with it so probably won’t finish it. I’m not saying it’s bad just not for me.

That’s a new one on me, will have to go there. I too love Pembrokeshire, probably go there every other year

Ok beat me there as I’m a sprightly 61 😀 the beer we had was Landlord, Sammy Smiths etc. just didn’t need any additions.

Nope they were ****, a sign the beer was **** at the pub or uni bar.

Nope. Must be a young man’s thing always had good beers that didn’t need altering back in the day.

Lack of will power alert, supposed to have another 20 days conditioning. It nice so hey ho. Best bitter I’ve made, but as I’ve done only 2 or 3 before probably not difficult to achieve.

Good news Brewfather gives a finished gravity of 1.013 and it’s currently at that and I can’t see anymore activity. That’s 1.050 to 1.013 in 9 days, did a saison and it went from 1,050 to 1.010 in 24 hrs!

I don’t think we get as good Aussie wines as we used to, or perhaps they are more expensive. After spending 3 days trying as many vineyards as we could in th Hunter Valley ( of which Blueberry Hill was my favourite) I get the impression it’s a bit like Italian wines they keep the best for...

Taste test of my TTL clone, starting to taste nice now, not sure it tastes like Landlord (need to get a bottle) also not clear, but has nice lacing down the glass to the end.

We buy nearly all our meat from the butchers now.. Occasionally buy bacon from the supermarket to put in freezer for when you've a an urge for a bacon butty. Same with Veg; try and get it all from the Market or Farm shop (though they seem expensive these days) as it's not all packaged in sweaty...

Against my better judgement I decided to use my starter instead of the dried yeast as it had bubbled away quite aggressively Friday Night & Saturday. I was regretting that decision as after over 48hrs there was no activity.. But it is now bubbling away this morning... Phew.

Didn’t realise you could still buy Double Diamond!

Back home now.

Next at the local brewhouse.

I did it October once and like you at first found it really difficult, especially giving up a Gin n Tonic, had to find 0% ones (just not the same). But come November had to have a beer, perhaps it’s the dark nights but I didn’t not want a beer afterwards.

it’s flight time, left to right.

Whilst the wife is away. Is it too early, can’t be as spoons is packed. Really nice beer this.

My favourite badger beer 😀 From one of their pubs. I probably bought Glory more than any other beer back in the day from supermarkets, just found it a nice easy drinking beer.
