What are you drinking ?
Ok, so What Are You Brewing was a hotty, as topics go.
Now I'm 15 pints into a keg I only filled on Tuesday and wondering if anyone else has a favourite at the moment ?
It's my second brown with US-Oh05 and it's better than the forst, maybe Ikept the temps down a bit during the scorcher we had in januray

I allways try to have one lager going most of the time, its a good change from an Ale to have a lager on tap - but as James says its not really harder, it just takes alot longer, and patience!
Im currently drinking my Summer Pils, made out of the dregs of my malt cupboard and a 2124 cake and its by far the brightest beer ive ever made! Not to mention being delicously refreshing, specially after the lawns :o)

depends what beer it is...
Almost every beer I can think of is defined by one to four of four things: water, malt, hops, yeast. I'd say 4 is very uncommon. 2-3 is common and the best beers are probably around the three mark. One is... well, one-dimensional, but pretty rare (barring infections and the like).
Think of something like DAB... the water really definies this beer but the malt and hops play a nice supporting role.
A good Burton-style IPA might only be able to be defined by all four in harmony.
Epic Pale Ale has hops dominate but the malt plays a strong second fiddle to ensure it is anything but one dimensional. Water and yeast are pretty neutral.
Yeastie Boys Plan K - the hops and yeast clashed a little early on and the malt got lost, latterly the yeast and malt dominated in a nice balance with the hops playing a more subdued role. Water doesn't really feature.
As you can probably tell I'm bored...
