I recently got the Tooth's White Horse Ale on tap. It's been about 2 weeks in the keg and has me wondering a bit. It has a slightly sour edge to it that forms a lot of the flavour, which reminds me of kit brews. I've had this in lagers before and when I moved to adding sugar late in the ferment...

Maybe wheat beers aren't really that bad.

Thick tan crema-like head and not exactly jet black, more deep auburn with dark red up against the light but still very dark. It's inviting to look at [as a stout drinker]. Smells damn good: it's roasty, English, mildy hoppy with a hint of other malt character mixing it up from a cup of...

11. Whiteferret - British Strong Ale Soft bottle to squeeze and barely a hiss on opening. Zero head and carbonation, I was ready to write it off as not capped properly or something. It smells sweet with generous DJ-esque nuttiness and a hint of malt character and bready... I dunno, 'notes'. The...

Cream ales, just blew my keg last night and looking forward to the next one to put on rotation. Underrated style in my opinion.

And the term 'flogging spanner'

Was on call for the week (responsible for leading any mechanical issue on site) and had only one phone call on the weekend. Wednesdays are the start of the new on-call week. I thought I'd made it through, only had last night to go. 6:30 PM I get a call, I came in and lo and behold something...

Stainless is a prick that way in that once it wants to pick up, you're basically snookered and efforts made to remove the nut compound the problem. Penetrene - won't work, very effective on corroded nuts but not on bound stainless Heat - worth a shot but not common practice that I have seen on...

If I must... 3. TheWiggman - Haters' Wheat If you weren't aware because you've never heard of me or AHB, I don't like wheat beers. For some reason though I brewed a few Weissbiers early on and cemented my opinion. Like most brewers, I'm partial to my own beers however rarely 'nail it' because...

Well yes I'm an *****. In honour of Cocko, I've decided to review my own beer. Aroma: Great. Appearance: Great. Taste: Great. Mouthfeel: Great. Overall impressions: Great beer.

I didn't get any of this but if I did I'd probably pitch a lager, English, US, Cooper's kit and Belgian yeast in the spirit of the brew.

Hehe, considered being nice and scrolling through but out of principle spent that time replying instead. Also considered using the search function but since the update might as well use a random number generator. Ed: was nice and scrolled through the thread but can't find the recipe, damn...

Are you seriously asking me to search the thread so you don't have to?

Birthday beers today, been some time since I've put cash over the counter for one. Started with a Duvel. No photo necessary, delightful and an easy option when I want a beer I know I'm going to enjoy. A Firestone Union Jack IPA next. Has US IPA written all over it, I'm getting Citra and other...

mb-squared put together a pretty fancy-looking system which is well documented in this thread.

Me neither

Last swap - [The boil has completed and burners shut off, the brewers look around for a paddle for the whirlpool] Mofox: "Hang on, what's this bag of EKG? 300g, it has 90 mins written on it. ****." Others: *laugher* Mofox: "What should I do? I can't believe I missed it" Husky: "Just chuck it in"...

I'm going to break the rules here and review the beer I just cracked so it's not biased. 14. ????????? Low carb, quite clear with a light 'pale ale' visual appeal about it. Clean on the nose with a vague sweetness, maybe a whisp of Redskin. Interesting. Taste-wise: I had prior thoughts I had...

Round 2 with #9. The flavour that shall not be named is subdued and bugger me if the hops still aren't here in spades. Looking after the kids at present, if I'd downed a few of these there would be cause for a charge of irresponsible parenting. There's a lot going on in this glass.
