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 just tried drinking an Old Speckled Hen.... and i thought it was pretty yuck to be honest, couldn't finish it. Other than that i tried some Little Creatures pale ales and thought they were good but for 24 bucks a 6 pack, it was a bit steep and not as good as Epic pale ale i thought. And now im cranking my second batch brewed from a kit, its been in the bottles for 6 weeks and ain't tasting too bad. Probly bout the same as any cheap beer which is a little dissapointing but it's still cool cos i made it

Was the speckled hen in a bottle or on tap?? English ales arent for everyone, but chances are if its in a bottle it would have suffered quite a bit on the way over here, could be the case if its on tap as well unfortunately...
And I agree Little Creatures has nothing on Epic, apparantly it used to be alot hoppier but someones stinged out and its gone down hill and more commercial - Luke, can you promise us that will never happen to Epic? :o)

It was out of a bottle. I just didnt like it at all. My mate gave me the bottle cos he didnt like it either, and i said i would try it.

Yea, but it was probably half the price.
You can brew a great beer for the same as any cheap beer - which is priceless - just takes some work and patience

Yeah that is true, i got 25 750 ml bottles out of the batch that cost me aound 40 i think? so its at least half price, so thats wicked. Im pretty stoked actually haha.

The "ay" brewery, I think.

Tonight I started off with an import - well not one of my own beers, which is unusual.
A while back Stu was unexpectedly in the neighbourhood so I thrust a bottle of each of the available KC clones into his hands.
The emptied and refilled bottles arrived back the other day tucked up in my grain order.
I picked the bottle with the cap marked BP which I took to be Belgian Pale.
Now I don't usually stray too far from the Anglo / American ales so this was a bit of an adventure, In search of extra sensory stimulation and themed entertainment but not having any Belgian ompah music, I thought I'd have it while watching some Tintin - ok I ended up with the Black Island which is not too Belgian after all, but the thought was there
OK, scene set, how was the beer ?
Well ok, so that's a Belgian, that's good, not sure if I appreciated the subtleties but it was good to stretch the tastebuds a little. maybe I'll have the dubbel tomorrow with the Destination Moon & Explorers on the Moon double

that was 100% weyermann extract JT - did it taste extracty? I think I've got a bottle or two left.

Yes it did, but I thought you'd gone heavy on the candi sugar - I'm not a Belgian fan Stu.
Though I had a wee flicker of a past brew that prompted a look back in the brew folder and came up with the result.
My first partial mash Ord bitter, got very similar tasting notes in the first Brewnz HB comp. I was as Style ignorant then as I am now ...
Grain milled, hops weighed, six-seventy-something ready to go bright & early tomorrow morning
cheers, jt
