Lord Raja Goomba I
Prisoner of Sobriety
I finally bottled my first Taswegian brew, which feels like making my first beer again.
Before the spiel, just a long word of thanks to a number of AHB members who have generously lent or given me equipment & ingredients - jlm, dantehicks, yob, lagerbomb. If I in semi-inebriated form have forgotten anyone, let me know & I'll put a word of thanks in.
My bag of JW pils malt (non ahb acquisition) seems pretty ok as a base.
Bottled a sort of APA. I hate bottling, after a couple of years not bottling, there is no nostalgia & I don't miss it at all. But thankful for my free bottles & having something to put beer in.
I love mosaic, with Citra, its a marriage made perfect. Gave the missus a smell (flat beer isn't her thing but Vale IPA is) and it has passed.
Also did an SG test on my messed up barleywine (water cut during brew, no sparge). It tastes pretty nice. More like a thick IPA. JW pils with crystal & 2 caras.
Just a monday night post for the hell of it. Put your stuff ups or thanks for AHB generosity below.
