What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[Hazelwood Brewery]

How were they? I've often thought of coming off the A1 and popping in to Harrisons

Some were really nice and others were just nice. I’d go for his flagship ales like Vacant Gesture for the most enjoyment.

T-58 and MJ-41 (one of each) or two MJ-41.

I have used t-58 before. I use liquid yeast for my Belgian beers. I am currently using WLP 550. I reuse the yeast to bring the cost down. So out of one packet I will brew a single, double, tripel and and pale ale. I think I have used my current one 6 times now

It's foaming when you pop the cap. If your fast it's ok. It's not kicking up the sediment. I didn't cold crash which I think was a mistake because it has a good layer of sediment in the bottles

In my opinion, it's the amount of priming sugar, at least that's what's happened with mine. It can take a few months for carbonation to be complete. With stouts it's obvious--beer isn't carbonated quickly at all. With heavy Belgian's, it carbs up nice but it's not finished for a while. This is anecdotal and by observation meaning I have no facts just empirical info.

That's great. I take the easy path and just buy them every time. I don't know how to do any of the saving of yeast, storing, making starters and so on. Just me.

Starting with an English Bitter tonight.

Summer Breeze

Found a few bottles of Herfst Bock I brought back from the Netherlands in October.....very nice.

Another Summer Breeze but it’s quite lonely at the bar tonight. Never mind, more beer for me

I am drinking one of my Exmoor Golds. It's pretty meh. In fact, I've never had much success with 'plainer' brews like pale and golden ales. All you guys seem to be able to produce them no bother, but although I reckon I can brew decent, if not prize-wining, bitters and stouts, and even the odd foray into US-style IPAs and weissbiers have been pretty successful, this style continues to elude me. To be honest, it doesn't bother me much, it's hardly a favourite style anyway.

Been doing a bit of baking this afternoon - low carb quiche, brownies, and choc cake. Time for a reward, an English Bitter.

My latest American Amber although looks like a muddy puddle actually tastes nice in my opinion. Hopped with Centennial, Idaho 7 & Loral

I won't be using American Ale 2 again for Amber's.

Low calorie food to allow beer calories

Yeah, about that…. I may have misdirected you, the beer is mine but the food is for my wife. I had a huge plate of meatballs and pasta (1,300 calories)

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Christmas box from youngest, so thought I’d give this a go (raspberry vodka). It’s sooo good! Must get some raspberry pepsi max to try with it!
