It is. I’ve bought a few sours over the years and I’d been thinking about brewing a sour for quite a while but never followed it through. Recently I decided to take the plunge.

I like the odd sour and my wife is the same but not sure of 19l keg of it. Be a nice change though.

AG Yorkshire Bitter again which last night was a bit bland at garage temp but tonight I remembered how our U.S. cousins laugh about our warm beer so tonight brought a bottle inside for an hour before opening and wow I can taste the malt!

I have enough kegs for it not to be a problem and if it is, I’ll transfer to bottles or tip it. If it’s nice I might just plough through it (or send it to you )

Time for a change, so, Summer Breeze.

Now an AG Citra which was fine at garage temp.

I have no doubt you will manage hb. your a trooper.

Irish Red Ale

This was made with a CML all grain kit and has come out very nicely, I am still surprised how strongly the honey comes through in this. It also doesn't seem to take that long to condition, it has only had a couple of weeks in the bottle and is already very drinkable.

That sounds good, I like an Irish red ale but hard to find commercially

That Red looks great! You've reminded of a Red I brewed a few months back; I think I'm going to have to revisit that brew. Here's mine from a while back.

The current Helles, brewed with Lallemand Diamond Lager yeast instead of the usual Wy2308. Anyone used it before?
I’m getting an estery flavour that’s heading towards pear drops and I’m not sure I like it. Thankfully, I’ve got a new sachet of 2308 in to see me through next load of brews.

Never tried a helles but it's on my list. I'm leaning towards German lagers with my tastes, as well as hoppy stuff.

A hefe to compliment the red Thai curry.
Both lovely.

Second half, another beer.

Nice to see some @Hoddy beers in the fridge.

This is a version of the first beer he sent me over 5 years ago. A rosemary and simcoe pale. Love this beer, not sure why I have only ever brewed it once. 2022 will sort that out.

Love a German pilsner.
So easy to do and super cheap brew. Unless you have a old fridge that costs loads during lagering .

Absolutely. Deffo on the list for after Christmas.

Started with wherry… now heading for a honey golden ale

Here’s the original recipe, I’ll be sticking to that from now on!
Obviously, the fermentation temp wasn’t 18C, I’m very traditional in my lager brewing.

Got a few recipes in my brewday thread. Need to ferment low and lager even lower

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

I've made them already in my Brewfather, but I'll certainly take a look to see how they differ and what I could do differently.

Bad co off tempo dipa. This is my kind of beer. Bitter dank piney resinous lovely.
