What are you drinking tonight 2021?

Thirsty?

It is a Friday night
Saying that I am just getting over the feckit Thursday I have had enough of work day!

To be clear, the kolsch I tried was a shop-bought one, and trust me, there were no saison undertones in that one. But I have another to try too, that may be a little different. I was a bit surprised by the colour too, it was very pale, even by lager standards, and again I was kinda expecting something a tad darker.

Looks good but I’m not getting any aroma or flavour.

As its feckit Friday just tapped the latest Proper Job, bloody lovely, plenty in the tank and a cracking head to boot

All this talk of a stout got me to get this out. It is a lme brew Blackrock miners stout with added dark lme. Probably not the place to start the evening. Treacley

Just a few early slurps tonight as I'm back in the sweat box tomorrow...
First a SAISON!
Then a return to the brew shed and a rummage unearthed a very welcome...get ready for it...20 BOTTLES of my 3c pale...thought I'd drank the lot..
So next..3c pale.

I'm drinking a bitter from my local brewery. Which I've never tried before. It's a lovely colour, sort of at the tawny end of the bitter register (small amount of choc malt, maybe?). Despite a modest ABV of 4%, a very nice pint. And so cheap! They seem to be charging me £1.80 + VAT a bottle.

Would Buy Again.

This Lager/Saison is tasty

Moved on to Festival Founding Father. A much easier brew to sup.

The science behind it is that the alpha acids “complex” copper ions that would otherwise make it into the final packaged beer. Iron and copper ions are pro-oxidative. In theory adding 1g of high alpha-acid hops to the mash per litre reduces the likelihood of oxidation down the line. This also improves flavour and extends the hop fade of your beer.

I’m trying it for the first time as one of several changes to try and increase the hop aroma and flavour of my hoppy ales.

It doesn’t affect bitterness (much) because the alpha-acids are not isomerised very much at mash temperatures and are changed by the time you boil them.

Not knowing what percentage of the hop addition to add to the mash I just put 5g Chinook and 5g Willamette in my PJob, interested to see if I can tell the difference.
