What are you drinking tonight 2020.

[AMyd666]

My Cali Common (6 weeks old. Yum!), Hawkshead Golden Ale, followed by my own Sweet Stout (double yum. Although I should have put one sugar cube in the bottle not two: I have to keep swirling the glass to de-fizz).

Drinking my first all grain brew from my robobrew. Sierra Nevada pale ale MM clone. Been in keg 1 week only, but very nice and I'm glad to see it tastes better than the kits I used to do! Even when I'm sure I made a few mistakes during the process! Gives me hope that my efforts will get better and better as I get used to the process! Cheers!

Is that cali common from a kit or your own recipe? I've got the MM clone kit to try soon.

Ferry Ales Golden Fleece Blonde - a Kolsch style ale. It's actually very good; not as sweet as when I brew my first Kolsch, bit I use 50/50 pale / lager malt, and this is 100% Pils. Worth a pint if you see it anywhere.

Switched to “Festival”, my 6.9% Mosaic/Simcoe IPA.

From the two beers in my fermentation cupboard a heady aroma of hops: Chinook, Ahtanum, Simcoe, Nelson Sauvin, Cascade, Amarillo, Citra, and Galaxy. Heavenly

Last of the mosaic pale ale, first time using mosaic.

Put a couple of bottles of my latest lager( Master Pint

kit with ale yeast) at the back of the fridge on saturday and forgot all about them - reward for a busy day back on the tools after furlough

Just finished my Sorachi Ace Saison which went down a treat,now having a sample of a Rye IPA with Comet & Columbus to see how it's conditioning

American amber for me

Its a long time since I tried a Porter so I thought I would give Titanic Plum Porter a try for £1.50 from Morrisons.
Hmmm not my cup of tea, way too sweet and fruity, now I like some fruitiness in a bitter but I wasn't expecting it to taste like I was drinking alcopops.
Unfortunately I have another three to drink (not tonight)

Loved it in bottle, had a pint at the spoons last year and it was grim!

Just taste testing my brett pale ale which I sent off to this month's competition and can report that it definitely deserves first place @stigman

I'm planning a Brett Belgian Pale but have been concerned about the bottling conditioning and over carbonation as I have never used Brett before. Any advice on calculating how much sugar at bottling? I had been thinking about adding enough sugar for 2.5-2.7 vol and hoping Brett won't take it above 3. Will this work or will there be issues?

Well needed beer after a hectic couple of days. Picked this up as I know you lot like it and don't remember the last time I had one.
It's nice but I prefer Proper Job
