The wee heavy has cleared up and is looking good.
The wee heavy has cleared up and is looking good.
Bottled the Scottish ale this morning. 78 brown bottles and 2 pints, one of which is shown and the other is plastic to get an idea on carbonation progress. About 2 hours of doings with cleaning up with much of the worlds problems grumbled about to self.
2 grams of sugar in the pints, and 1.5 grams in the 12 oz bottles to prime. Temperature at bottling was 60F or 15.5C.
Now I wait.
Wee Heavy, Strong Ale, Barley Wine: to my palette they're all part of a continuum and I love 'em all. My son does not: most are too sweet, with overwhelming malt wine or odd flavors from the barrel.
He liked this one, and so do I: strong malt, but nicely balanced with the hops and yeast, dry rather than sweet, with a gorgeous deep amber color. If you like Scottish Ales, give this a try. If you don't, try this one anyway; you might like it.
Another bright day (I could get used to this) so another light(er) beer!
This #foundersBrewing Dirty Bastard seems a bit dirty with some particulate afloat in the bottle. It doesn’t seem to impact the malty sweet and fruity notes.

* Jumping Puddles - #Grisette - "Light, refreshing thirst-quencher with a subtle spiciness."
* Onverbitterde Helleveeg - #IPA American - "An American IPA on his way out. Grapefruit, pine, bitter, characterful."
* Goeie Arnol - #WeeHeavy - "This gently sweet yet potent beer was brewed in honour of the illustrious, now deceased city preacher Arnol Kox."

Hanging out at Gnarly Barley, trying out their Barrel Aged Wee Heavy and hoping the rain holds off for a bit.
Crap day. Luton lose. England lose. My old 14 cat has a tumour. So a few beers needed. The smaller is a 10% wee heavy. #lutontown #LTFC #worldcup #cats #weeheavy
