Cooper's Lager with BE 1 and Ross's Swiss Lager Yeast. New job with many hours has resulted in a backstep from Ag to the K&K. Not Happy, but will be looking for some killer K&K recipes.

Cheers

There is always a way Hirns, sleep is overated. I have started to mash in as late as 8 pm on some nights, even with work the next day. (work seven days a week for 4 months of the year) No chill has helped that a bit, even if i don't like it.

Back OT, drinking my EIPA tonight, no commercial or craft beers for me, too poor :lol:
Cheers

My most recent batch: some noble, English, US, and New World hops (cube additions only), Crisp MO, JW Trad Ale and Cararye, Wy1028. Bit of a strange one in some ways (which is fine, clearly my intention) and one of my best in others. First time I've used Cararye (and never used the real deal) and I don't think I dig it but even then I can't stop drinking the stuff once I start - every session has gone at least one longie longer than intended (which is a very rare occurrence around my house).

Having a quick schooner of my most recent ginger beer whilst the wife is off visiting the in-laws (and who says having the flu is bad?)

A lot of spice and quite a bit sweeter than my last attempts, but it has sure cleared my blocked nose and sinus. I should market this stuff as a head-cold remedy!

Just got back from my brother-in-law-to-be's bucks party where they had stock of LCPA. Not much of a fan of strip clubs, personally, and the price-tag of $10.50 per stubbie just further reinforced that. But still, even at that price, much better option than the other beers on offer.

Now I'm home with the wife and a beer of my own creation and wondering why I even bothered with heading into town in the first place.

Am having a dry spell. SWMBO said, "You are drinking too much." (An obvious untruth....) "You couldn't go a week without a beer." So I replied, "How about if I go for the whole of April?"

:shock:

It hasn't been too hard. But I am kind of looking forward to May....

I'm drinking the 2nd edition of my home brewed AIPA. What else can I say but, 'it's awesome'. Not as full bodied as edition 1 as I dropped the mash temp just a little bit. Magnum for bittering and Cascade to 60 IBU. Next cab off the rank in a cascade with drsmurto chinook flower APA. Can't wait for that either.
Cheers :)~

Dave, you must have made that commitment whilst " drinking too much " cause no sane, sober person would.

Bah. I figure I can chuck this out as a future bone of contention; "My dear, I like a beer but I don't need it. The National Health & Medical Research Council says I should drink this...." :wink:

Admittedly, I was feeling a little bloody-minded when I said it.... Can't imagine making such a rash decision in February when the throat is so dry.

Just blew the keg of an experimental ESB that I made (all American hops but my normal ESB grist) so now I'm having a quick GB before pouring myself a cider.

Haven't done a 'research' night in a few months so I may have to get SWMBO to chauffeur me down to DM's when she gets in. Feeling like trying new things.

Got stuck on the cider so no 'research' night for me. Sonny, if you're reading this, the cider dropped both perfectly clear and bright. I can read this forum through my glass from my couch (may have zoomed in a touch, but the point is still valid.)

At about 6%, I'm on my way to not knowing my arse from my elbow, so I'll promptly jump offline. Lovely stuff, though. Just Aldi juice and US-05 (so it doesn't attenuate too much and suck all of the sweetness out of it.) Not as complex as my Normandy style ciders (where I add tannic acid & various other additives) but I'm liking it because of that. Nice and simple.
