After a 12-hour grind trying to crack a project due tomorrow, I'm wiped. Still tons to do, but tonight I’m recharging with a Trappistes Rochefort 10 and some TV. Now the real question: what to watch? 🍺📺 #Quadrupel #Ale

Home brewing
Sometimes, the choice of beer to be brewed is not based on current trends in craft beer or on re-brewing a tried and tested favourite but on the ingredients I have lying around that really need to be used up. Fast.
Hence my wheat ale/saison, made with five different 'end-of-packet' hops, some less-than-fresh wheat malt donated by a sadly closed down brewery and some hefeweizen yeast that's been in the back of the fridge for far too long. #beer #ale #homebrew #homebrewing
