Just left Sussex on the southern tour where it would been sacrilege not to have a Harveys Best Bitter!

Sorry! Mind you, it’s about time we had some better weather.Show off. I'm contemplating lighting the fire
Yes H ya right! We've had the log burner on the last couple of nights but it's been warm here today. I even managed a post painting cup of tea in the garden with the cat.

Picked these up from the local Tesco. All brewed by geterbrewed. Starting of with the pale ale. Hopped with trident salvo, cascade, citra and Simcoe

I like they give the ingredients including hop's and yeast.
Having a TC after a good brew day 21L pilsner thingy
I had a couple of pints of Sussex Best in the pub and then picked up this 5-Points Best on the way home. I’ve seen @dave_77 with a bottle a few times and have been meaning to try it because it uses the same ingredients as my own best bitter. The 5-Points version is lighter in colour, is less malty, and is a lot more bitter. Quite a nice contrast given the same ingredients but I would say the bitterness is maybe a touch too assertive.

On the Kent leg of the southern tour. Not seen a good Shepherd Neame pub so had a Young's Bitter. Not as good as in the drayhorse days but maybe I am too old!

Just been to the Potting Shed at Hythe and had a Titsey's Californian Spring. Not bad at all.
That's interesting, The Malt miller do a clone kit which I was thinking about trying. Maybe I'll reduce the bittering hop.
Evening all, ooop North and found this in the fridge, as I’ve a long weekend and just finished mowing the lawn, thought why not. It’s nice but just a tad sweet.

Now a Gadd's Green Hop Ale at our friend's house.
I love Gadd's dog bolter, I remember back in the 90s you could get a Bruce's dog bolter extract kit.
I spoke too a brewer from Gadd's at a promotion at my local garden centre, he said he'd worked at Bruce's back in the day and it was the same recipe.

Regular.
My brown porter, much darker than expected (45ebc). But so was my mild. Common denominator is black malt (1300). Both 3% of the grist.
It could also be the black malt given it a distinct flavour like the mild. Slightly harsh, hints of liquorice and burnt toffee.
Good news is it didn’t gush, as I pitched some notts to finish the job Windsor couldn’t do!

Some more random stuff in the fridge. Not sure about this has a metallic taste.
Added some gin n tonic to it and it’s now passable.
