Just managed to squeeze the last pint of Russian Winter from the barrel earlier. Found a Brakspears Triple hiding in the wrong cupboard with a loose Old Peculiar. The Triple has gone and the peculiar is going and then it is down to either Bombardier or Hobgoblin. Laphroig as a nightcap.
Galaxian 2,5.5% and lovely with it.

Been brewing today and am knackered now. Supping a couple of bottles of Pedigree.

Strongbow, but only cos I'm painting the bathroom today, MrsH doesn't fancy wine so I'm not allowed to open a bottle of red, and my latest batch of homebrew needs a little bit longer in the bottle... Strongbow fron the corner shop is therefore all I have... Tragic, tragic...
Turbo cider. Classy as a crack whore 🙂
I've been in the pub on a Saturday afternoon for the first time in years meeting up with an old mate! I drank a few draught Stella's, mighty tasty!!
Mahou 5 Estrellas, as per usual. Not a bad lager, but would rather have ale... Spain is pretty crap for beer 🙁
Probably ought to try home brewing, but drink enough as is.
HAve you tried adding hops @ + 10min , or even +15min.
We hop and copper fine at -2min , then wait 2 min and switch off.
Then add more hops whilst the protein and boil hops are settling out.
I think you will still infuse the oils and 'flash' less of the volatile ones out and into the atmosphere .
Both those recipes look good. Do you get over attenuation with US05? We use it sometimes and it doesnt really ferment quickly at 20 - 24'C , just slow and steady . It then keeps on going whilst cooling and seems to slow right down once below 9'C.
Hine champagne cognac
Macallan 30 Year Malt - has been a bloody long day!!
Dartoor ale.....tasty
Exported to London village .
baby in bed early,snuck off for a couple of pints.
Number 3 on way,could be the camp bed for me tonight!!

second slug of jura superstition here
HAve you tried adding hops @ + 10min , or even +15min
not recently, but I have with another recipe. Gives a lovely nose with Citra.
I usually find US05 goes down to about 1006 if I start at 1045-1050, but this one started a bit higher & went down to 1012, pretty much as expected. Ferments out in about 6 days at room temp
Poacher's choice.
Tripel Karmeliet. In matching glass.

Aldi FTW.
Mount Gay Barbados rum.

Pedigree and I may have a Camus XO Borderies cognac later or a Bushmills
Cider for me 😆
Been out for tea to an Italian called Piccolinos tonight. I've had a pint of Moretti, a glass of Valipollacella and an Amaretto to finish. Was delicious with tea!
Back at home and having a bottle of Peroni now!
Jura 😀
The Galaxian recipe isn't quite complete,I cooled to 80degC post-boil and added 30gm Galaxy and steeped for 30 mins,then finished cooling as usual,I find it gives a whack of hop aroma to the beer.
