Planning a collab day next week with MidnightBrew. We're shooting at knocking out three beers with a combo of gas-fired kettle and beer robot/BM. A new Pale Mild, AJ80's Oatmeal Stout, and one of MB's Dark Mild creations.
The ultimate compliment. Good luck with the brew day :)

When we decided to do a stout we couldn't pass up on this opportunity. Has to be one of my all time favourite swap beers of all the swaps I've participated in. I've got one more from 2016 xmas to try and guess who's beer it is?

If you're in this neck of the woods on Saturday you're welcome to stop by for a beer or two.

Spun up some WLP004 which has been frozen for a couple of years and it's taken off like a mofo. This will be on as soon as I can get the two other batches out of the ferm fridge!
 
Doing a batch of Choc Porter ready to age for winter, looking at racking this one on to some cherries.

^ ^ spork.

If you havent before used cocoa nibs Id suggest leaving them for secondary. Boiling them will not get the flavour especially with that % of roasted barely. Best to ferment and then do a 7day secondary and then rack to the cherries.
 
I've done it this way before and it's won awards, but I may try it after 7 days in primary, then rack on to the cherries
 
This morning I found some Ella Hops in my freezer, had completely forgotten about them.
Hunting for some noodles in the "carbs" section of the pantry and came up with an equally forgotten packet of Polenta.

Should be an easy drinking blondie with nice hops upfront.

Lightens the body, and gives a nice smoothness with a faint "corn" flavour. Common in many American and European beers such as Stella Artois or Miller.

Maize, or rice, is preferable to using cane sugar as it gets converted mainly to maltose in the mash.
 
After a few months with not enough time to brew, and a broken ferment fridge that has now been replaced with a bigger model, I decided to put down two brews this weekend to refill the keg fridge.
