Good a few planned at The Naughty Corner: 1927 Coopers Spakling Ale going on this weekend.; next one will be a pressure fermented quaffing lager; Then probably keen to have a crack at my new pavlova pale ale recipe with lactose and tropical fruit.

Haven’t done a recipe of the month for ages but picked ups the Heritage Red Ale kit a while back. First try out of the keg today, naturally carbonated in the keg. Discussion here was that it’s better than the original.

Hey brewers. New name but an old face. I’m Jamie, the brewer formerly known as NewBrews! Lots happened over the last couple of years which meant that I took some time out from the online world and kept pretty quiet on all social media. I’ve kept brewing in some form but just getting everything back in place to start again properly. We’ve moved to an acreage and now on tank water which has definitely made me reconsider my water usage when brewing. Looking forward to reconnecting with everyone.

Mate - I'll have to pour another one tonight - Damn!!!

Second pour of the kolsch. Obviously my crappy legging job didn’t affect it too much. No finings added! Great beer, light, well balanced, malty. IMG_1253.MOV

Put on the Brekkie Oat Cream IPA yesterday. It was the Feb ROTM recipe and smelt really nice going into the fridge. Don’t do a lot of Kit beers anymore but was keen to try this one out. Couldn’t get the extract to mix in at all yesterday so the yeast is going to have to earn it’s keep this week and go looking for dinner. Also no idea of SG so FG will be a guess but thinking about 1.015 with the lactose and oats.

Ok actually. The only reason I found out was I hooked the tap on and nothing came out but the other started pulling beer through the gas line. Thank goodness for the non return valve on the bottle!

Kegged the Kolsch the other night into two 9.5l legs. One to drink now and one for about four weeks time. Some idiot put the gas in on the beer out post and created a keg to keg transfer that’s what you get for legging in the dark!

Yum. That looks so good

So was that the death nell of that keg? As soon as I say that the next glass gets that sad but familiar sound

One of the guys at work keeps bees so I asked him if I could buy some honey of him to have a crack at a mead. Ended up he’s always wanted to try it but didn’t have a clue so he gave me the honey. Being the first time and all I figured I go with the JAOM recipe just to see how it went. Mixed it up last night in the 5l demi and a couple of hours later it had already started bubbling away. As the instructions said, into the cupboard it went this morning so I’ll leave it alone for a while apart from topping it up in a couple of days.

Bit of the cost for commercial beer, a bit of wanting something different, and a bit of making my own. Also make my own cheese and sour dough bread.

Sadly, a lot of the old pubs around where I grew up are no longer pubs or have burnt down or been torn down.
