What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I'd give that spot to either the mild, or rocking Rudolph, depending on my mood, but it is a nice drop.

I'm on this one now, then I'm going to stop being virtuous and crack open something stronger

For me the Ruddles, then Rudolph, then Mild. Then nothing, that’s it.

IPA time. Another one I wouldn't mind attempting a clone of.

My first of the night, this ipa from lords brewing, very nice fruity aroma, piney finish, shame I didnt get another!

 

[pilgrimhudd]

Swiftly followed by one of my old ales, and then @matt76 NPS Stout, really nice. Well carbed, possibly just over? Nice thick creamy head which lasts the whole glass. Initially a sort of coffee, chocolate taste leading to a strong roastiness. Malty bitterness, there is some hop flavour, I wonder if a bit more might add a bit to it? Quite full bodied once warmed up and a lovely malty aroma. Nice!

Hop Schedule, bearing in mind the southern cross was around 13% and Magnum around 11% it was quite a bit for a pils, perhaps less/or no Magnum next time, will defo do this again though.

15g magnum
10g southern cross @60

15g southern cross @ 10

40g southern cross, hopsteep at 70-75c for 30 mins.

Just good old Lancashire pale ale, I will drop the bittering hops down next time I brew this apart from that it is a fine brew

 

[marshbrewer]

That looks lush.

What size batch was this ? Speaking to the brewery they said they only used it late and it still translated into high bitterness.
I would probably keep magnum for a smoother bitterness and take out the 60min southern addition and leave it to the late hopping.

Oh yeah that would help... I was going for 19l so it was thereabouts.

4kg pilsner and 1 kg vienna.

So many cask beers are poor from bottle. In fact, I think a truly great straightforward bitter in bottle may be a myth.
