What are you drinking tonight 2021?

[cushyno]

In an abbreviated form yes, happy to send you the full recipe if you wish.

Yes please. I'd like to compare with yours and see how far out I was last year. Mine was nowhere near!

 

[NormanHurst]

My Belgian Wit. Really enjoying this one.

It works pretty well, I should say the Bramling Cross are very much the dominant hop in this one, give it a rather nice black current flavour.

And I still have some Saaz in my freezer so may yet still give a Bramling Cross and Saaz Saison a try.

I must say, I'm a bit protective of Styrian Goldings recently after having realised what a great taste and aroma it can provide. Anything to disturb that goodness is like a snack in the face! I do think Saaz and SG may be a good combo though.

For my current Saison I used Saaz and Mittelfruh as I'd run out of SG. It works ok but it's more subtle and malt dominant than if I'd used late Styrian Goldings.

I live the fact that these so called earthy and noble hops, purportedly delicate and mild, can have such a profoundly different outcome depending on how they are combined.

 

[LesTom]

My latest finished brew, a single hop (El Dorado) and I'll be brewing this fella again

The wife informed me that we need room in the fridge so I'm bottling my Helles and having a hefe. Only two of these left now

I would agree with you here, it’s a nice beer but the Styrian Golding is arguably wasted here would be tempted to use both in single hop Saisons just to see how it turns out.

And now onto a Blueberry Milkshake IPA whilst transferring my Rye IPA to the shed.

 

[Horners]

First Lidl one. Despite having had a Kent postal address for the last 16 years I've never seen this one before.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Finished the fan enclosure so having a well deserved stout.

 

[cushyno]

Seeing as the sun has shone for at least 10 minutes today - Saison!

 

[NotSure]

Chocolate Cherry Imperial Milk Stout (i.e. longest f'ing name ever Stout)

 

[Horners]

Can't face trying any of the Lidl ones in funky cans and it's gone v chilly out here in the brewcave. Going for a classic.

Living on a building site is making getting the garage a difficult and messy task. The step into the garage is over 2 foot high, not easy after a few pints.

So I have decided to bring some cans into the house. Obvs I had to fill the glass first, so starting with a sabro porter.

 

[samale]

After talking about this beer last week with @Donegal john I thought I would try it again

The usual high standard from kinnegar

Winter Wheat my Weissbier hopped with Saaz and Hallertauer Hersbrucker fermented with CML Gretel it’s got a good kick of banana and is just nice and easy drinking. A bit of a pain to pour from the mini keg but overall I’m pretty pleased with it.

 

[Pennine]

@Pennine made me drink my last bottle of SS imperial stout . Followed that up with a TT landlord. Now a sour porter from Siren that's a new style for me.

Happy Friday folk's.

Hard to say no to that one. I have 3 left. They also had the brown ale, india ale and the taffy porter. I might get the brown ale next.

What's the hop combo like any flavours coming through? I have wanted to try them together.

 

[Tanglefoot]

Can't resist a taster of this Cali common steam beer ( Jon Finch recipe; Munich and Pilsener malt, Hallertau mittlefruh hop, MJ54 ) barreled 4 days ago, whilst I drool over today's delivery from BKT !
Really nice toasty, caramel maltiness.

 

[Horners]

Still always surprises me the number of outlets Tadcaster based SS have around the West End and City of London knocking out all of the favourites.

I was thinking of giving Gretel a try with a beer I have planned. What temps did you ferment at
