What are you drinking tonight 2022?

@foxbat @Hazelwood Brewery Gelatine added to Irish Red this morning. I’ll report back in a couple of days

Kicking off this evening with an English Bitter (if we ignore the sneaky stout I had earlier preparing for tomorrow’s brew-day).

Just trying my competition tripel. This has improved since my last try. Happy with carbonation and clarity. No alcohol burn at all, nice head retention.
Over all I am happy, looking forward to the feedback

First taste of my Sarah Hughes-ish Dark Mild. This was my first troublesome brew in a while - off my numbers, awkward start to fermentation. I had worried it was going to be undrinkable.

On first evidence, it's not too bad. Some estery notes that I think come from stressed yeast. Time will see if they fade a bit. Head retention could also be better, although I went light on the carbonation. On the plus side, it carries its 6.5% alcohol very easily.

I'll stick the rest away in the cellar for a sleep and try one again in a few weeks.

My Leffe Brune clone.

 

[Pennine]

Stopped back for another Italian pils, this is a really good lager, definitely one of my favorites.

Having a nice clear pint of Red in Dublin while the gelatine works it’s magic back at home.

 

[Eskdale]

Was planting out my cabbages this arvo, got some rain. A good excuse to call it a day and have a beer.
Eskdale's remaining bottle of Baltic Porter caught my eye, though the weather isn't cold at the moment decided to drink the remaining bottle as I have my own Baltic Porter planned for next week.
Carbonation is spot on as is the ABV can still detect some molasses, just faintly. Only a sipping beer, saw off a triangle of Stilton with still about 150 ml to go. An excellent example of Baltic Porter.

It could be the molasses you are picking up may be from the soft brown sugar I used to carbonate the beer.

Looks good. My saison has good flavour but not so much the head / lacing.

My Saison might not be to everyone's taste. It's hopped with hallertau blanc, so not really traditional.

Sounds great, wish I could give it a try. I will defintely brew up a batch at some point.

Mine is flavoured with Rye and Indian Coriander. Not sure how traditional that is either

Version 2 is ready to bottle..I just haven't had the time. I upped the abv, version 3 I plan to up the fermentation temperature

 

[Pennine]

Dropped in for a quick stout before the game.

Well, that's a beer that passes the eye taste test. How a beer should look, shiny and bright instead of briny and *****.

I have got 3 packets of Pride of Ringwood hops, so purchased one of these today with an aim of brewing a batch. Haven't had one for years when is was my go to beer down the pub.

 

[Braufather]

First taste of my 5am saint attempt. 6 weeks since brew day but needs anotherI 6 again I reckon. Not getting a lot from it. Very clean but a bit boring. Getting nothing from the 200g dry hop. Hopefully the malt flavours will develop with time.

 

[StoutWolf]

Nice selection available earlier today
