On to this American stout now.
About a month in the keg and bloody nice.

Is that your competition saison?

It won last month's forum competition, I have another in the fermenter but it's taking it's time. The plan was to enter the one fermenting into the lab competition all going well.

It’s been a long while since I had a whisky. This one’s a corker.

I upped the abv to 6.5% on V2 but I don't think it will be ready in time.

Still fermenting? You might need to submit the one on tap, I expect to condition mine for 6 weeks.

Yes I have V1 as back up. Waiting on big Donegal John to try the tripel to get some feed back as well

This is really nice, founder's breakfast stout by @phildo79. Big coffee and chocolate hit, great mouth feel. Just letting bit warm up slightly, lovely beer

Hurray, it's the weekend!
Last chance QC of the Pilsner.
This one is from the larger cask, poured at a high pour rate.
Not so clear, but tastes good.
Poured a 2nd one slowly, just to confirm you understand.

Postulate confirmed, but still not totally clear.
I will serve tomorrow's guests the smaller clear cask first, after that they won't be able to focus properly.
So no problem.

I have one of those sitting in the wings, a combination of spicy dinner and fatigue put me off drinking it tonight. going for another scotch instead, full sensory onslaught!

Someone (@samale ) inspired me to have a glass of the Founders breakfast stout. Not that I needed much coaxing. So glad I reordered the ingredients for this brew because 15L just ain't enough.

Its a Range Stout kit can’t brew AG down in Brixham don’t have the equipment but for a kit pretty good.

I find myself in a race against the weather to finish this keg of CML 1864 Amber before it gets to warm to drink unrefrigerated beer (it’s nice but at 6.3% it’s not really a session beer)

Thats a cracker from cml, like you say not a session beer but o so good i will order it again soon

 

[531Man]

Also at last - a QC of my saved small cask of Exmoor Ale clone, also in readiness for tomorrow's guests.
Oh how I've missed the hops from over the road in this.
It'll do fine.

The triple is next.
Trying your award winning saision.
The carbonation is spot on. Pours with a big thick head that stays till you suck it down
First taste reminds me of duvel
Lovely lingering taste of cloves with a slight underlying banana taste in the finish.
The finish is very dry and it’s the aftertaste that makes this a damm good beer. It lingers and draws you in for another mouthful that repeats the cycle.
Amazing what can be done with a burco boiler and a plastic fermenter.
Fine beer young man. Worthy of a medal or a pat on the back.
Cheers for sharing.

Ps excuse the poor photo ive been banished to the bar shed as the wife has friends over
