What are you drinking 2024.

[Tanglefoot]

My first go at a Belgian single kegged a couple of weeks ago, fermented with Abbaye yeast.
Extra pale Maris Otter with some Vienna, Tettnang to bitter with Styrian Goldings late boil and hopstand.
Still a little hazey but nice biscuity malt and spicey fruitiness from the yeast.

And on to my KCB bitter.
Crystal clarity, pity it's coming to its end.
Sorry @Hazelwood I disagree for the first time, one can never have too much of Bitter!
Admittedly you did say, "for now".

Who remembers Sparky and His Magic Piano which also warningly said, "For Now" ?

Earlier whilst waiting for the adhesive to cure on the car window clips, I filled the time by training the burgeoning hop shoots:

Please ignore the Forget-me-nots, SWMBOd insists they make the garden pretty in the Spring.

Enough bitter for now = save some for later, don’t tun out before the next batch is fermented.

On the Pirate Pale now.

A tea for me, second weekend in a row. An enforced break.

Whilst cycling on 4th I suffered a heart attack. 3 hospitals and 8 days later i was all patched up and released. Gagging for a pint.

Belgian pale whilst watching the Masters
Bottled my Brett Saison earlier also, liking the taste at the moment. The 70 days in the keg has got the FG down to 1.000 for around 6.7%

I just painted 10 fence panels so I reckon that’s enough work for one day and it’s time for my reward(s). I’m starting with my bitter.

Cheers. Luckily it was minor in the grand scale of things and feel normal already, if not a little tired

Nice Westie Collab by two great breweries, what can go wrong?
Nothing..it's great

Trying My bitter after a brew day

 

[531Man]

Vacqueyras (a Rhone red) with pork.
Sublime aromas and flavour.
Affordable as it was bought in Carrefour, Calais.
Deeper red than the photo implies, the lighting was strange.

Thanks to @dad_of_jon , I’m celebrating the end of a week’s annual leave with this Ris-Kier buisness which at 11.25% I will be sipping slowly. It’s dark, rich and knock your socks off flavour packed. A bready saison spicy aroma, hints of bitter orange and dark roasted coffee. Flavour is Belgian with bells on, full bodied espresso, saison spice and ending on a plum fruit bit of sweetness. There’s a fair wallop of bitterness there which I found a bit much with the first sip but I’m now picking up the fruitier sweeter end. Thank you this is one for sipping slowly!

I wish I was able to describe beer as well as you can doc! My attempt would be a boozy spiced smack in the face of ooooh!

Porter is last of the night

All the best @Leon103, hope you're fighting fit soon.
