What are you drinking tonight 2020.

[Hazelwood Brewery]

What are you brewing today. Jealous of the weather your getting. It's pishing down here. I am only back from a charity 8 mile run

It’s another batch of Citra/Galaxy IPA. I’ll have to get another Mosaic/Simcoe on the go next week - they don’t last very long I’m afraid. I have got one put aside for you though

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

You've done another Hazelwood I see...

Yes, but the difference is that unlike the “hazy” IPA this one was MEANT to be clear.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Another pint of “Festival” ( the 6.9% Mosaic/Simcoe IPA) and I ‘m now starting to freestyle the recipe for my Citra/Galaxy IPA - what could possibly go wrong?!

H...how do you chill your king kegs?

giving @strange-steve 's dunkel bock a tasting this afternoon.

pours out a deep dark brown, it's hard to see the clarity in a full glass due to the darkness initially but is quite clear as the cup emptied. carbonation was perfect.
aroma is really nice, brown sugar, toasty malt, caramel and dark candied syrup. as it warms up the alcohol shines a bit with also a hint of purple grape juice and red wine.
taste is very malty, quite similar to a nice belgian dubbel without the funky belgian yeast and a bit more complex. has a caramel malt sweetness with toast, and a very light raisin. yeast flavor is non-existent and has a very light bitterness. Definitely settles to the sweet malt side of the spectrum. mouthfeel is a bit coating but fades quickly with no lingering bitterness.
this is a really good example of the dunkel bock and hits the style guidelines spot on. i was surprised at how little character there was from the yeast, i didn't get any hint of lagerness. it almost seemed like a chico type equivalent.
i really don't have any critiques for this one as it's spot on for what you going for. it did seem a bit on the dark side initially but in a thinner glass it is not an issue at all.
appreciate the share!

H...how do you chill your king kegs?

I don’t most of the time because the shed they are in stays fairly cool - it’s shaded pretty much all the time. When it’s hot even in the shade I sit them in ice when we have a BBQ.

Waggledance clone 4 days in the corny, I love fresh English bitters. Really good beer and too drinkable at 6%.

Finally at the end of brewday. My second runnings is boiling away ready to make a big starter for my poorly Kveik. I'm knackered.

This stout will revive me!

Or knock me out. Either's good.

Stout is always my go-to when I need a pick-up - physical or emotional.

Another pint of “Festival”. The sun is still shining, my new batch of beer is brewed and settling before I put it in the FV, and all is well. Roast in the oven, stuffing smells amazing!

Master Pint European pilsener - little darker perhaps due to light spray malt addition, I also dry hopped with saaz
leaf.
This was really hazy after the hops but am really pleased and surprised with the way it has cleared ( 2 wks in bottle )
and thick foamy head it produced.

 

[Clint]

First of a recent batch of turbo cider... clear,fizzy and dry...just as I like it!

These pictures of blue skies. ☹
It's been peeing down in the northwest all day.

Just sampled my Not Red lager. Something not right about it. Could be diacetyl, but I'm sure I've had this before with CML California Common, a sort of toffee flavour that eventually conditions out

I've just finished drinking a lager I did with light spray malt and it was a tad darker too, I added a dry hop of mittlefrau and was going to add saaz as well but even though I had saaz i didn't put them in and starting to wonder how it might have been?

 

[Clint]

You could be up all night worrying about that. Have a beer to calm your nerves...

Thanks Clint, never thought you'd offer

You’ll not like this then either. Just this moment, another beer, same blue sky!

Budweiser have revealed their "Hazelwood Weekend" box, it's a shame you only drink homebrew:
