Flavour is starting to really mellow. It's lovely, I will wait another few weeks before sending out some
How's life treating you, the weather has been great here. Got some good cycling done.
Is the rosemary very prevalent?
Life is good I am getting out on the trail 2-3 times a week. If all goes according to plan I will hopefully run a high 50k in September and then try to get into a local 100 next summer.
Really excited to get brewing again although with summer temps I might be doing kveiks for a while.
Glad your taking advantage of the weather.
Here is a pils for the sunny summer weather here too.

The rosemary is really up front, it is starting to blend well now. It's similar to the cardamom and coriander saison I made last year. It will take around 8 -10 weeks for it to come together.
50k is some running, what kind of pace do you run that at.

Really looking forward to this @dave_77 Indian porter.
Perfect carbonation, pours with a nice large head which fades. Lacing the full way through the drink.
Aroma, light roast , chocolate slight smoke
Flavour, this is lovely. Nice body. Some fruitiness from the hops with a good firm bitterness.
Really enjoyed this one, did you use brown malt.
Cheers

Yeah it has 7% crisp brown malt. I love the flavour of Brown malt. Glad you enjoyed and it was all good as that had been bottles with the tapcooler a few weeks ago.Really looking forward to this @dave_77 Indian porter.

Really nice beer. I must get some brown malt in stock. It adds a nice aroma and flavor to the beer which is unique. I have never actually used it before

Can you roast pale malt to produce brown?

The American Brown I brewed last night does have some in it too but only around 3%.Really nice beer. I must get some brown malt in stock. It adds a nice aroma and flavor to the beer which is unique. I have never actually used it before
I found this on 'homebrew talk.com', US site obviously, 'Fahrenheit, cookie sheet,'
He added, "you can only roast whole grain before cracking/rolling"
"After some research I have determined that brown malt (like so many others) is simply pale malt that has been roasted at high temps for periods ranging from 15 minutes to 1 hour.

- Oven to 400 degree (F).
- Single layer of pale malt on a foil-lined cookie sheet.
- Roasted for 30 minutes.
- cooled and placed in paper bag."
" I've roasted my own malt a few times, using a similar procedure. Before you use the grains, let them mellow for at least a week. If you use them right away, it will lend a harsh flavor to the beer. I let mine sit at room temp in a bag for about 2 weeks prior to use. I know this doesn't help you now with your starter going, but for future reference. Also, for the temp, I would roast mine at around 350 for about 1 hour to get a chocolate-like malt.

Thanks but I use only crushed so I guess it won't work. Cheaper to buy brown malt rather than a mill lol.
I’m starting with a glass of my Best Bitter. This is the one currently on tap, not the one that came out of the fermenter today although they do look the same
