A best bitter while contemplating the next best bitter recipe. I have a pouch of Tim Taylors that I need to use up.

I would be surprised if it's that honestly. I think you said you don't notice it until after it's bottled. That really sounds like a weird infection. If it was go ferm, water etc.. it would stick out right away I would think.

HB Best Bitter, unlike Rcope I didn't brew ****.

2lbs Burundi and El Salvador 192.12 + 2 = 194.12

Hmm yeah covid or long covid may have that effect. A couple other ideas chloramines are not removed from RO may be worth using sodium bisulfite in your water. Your description and onset though make me think of an infection though?

Always disappointing to dump all that hard work and patience. Sounds like maybe a warm temp trend if the last few batches have had similar issues? What do you do for water?

HB Saison.

It always tastes like dirt to me. Not earthy but like freshly dug soil. I think it might be one of those cilantro/soap things honestly.

I was going to say at 72 it should be done by now, which maybe it is considering you started at 1100.

Went for a saison and ended up with a pils. Does anyone else get a weird twang when using novalager? I am not a big fan of it.

I've got some pilgrim and challenger I need to get more familiar with. EKG is my go to. I have a hard time with fuggles.

Brewed up a herfstbok, with my pouch of Andechs. I probably should have started this one a month ago... Here is the inspiration. https://www.jopenbier.nl/product/4-granen-bokbier-blik/

I would also recommend expanding their sales area too, at least to Denver. On a good note the didn't make their label a hideous yellow and blue mistake. And they do sell in cans.

Found the winner of the 4 fest biers. To be honest they are all so close and I was probably more thirsty today.

This one is ok, not sure if the hops aren't as enjoyable as the others. The recipes are close it seems.

HB bitter, I need to take this off the engine for a bit or it's going to be a goner soon with nothing in the pipeline.

Windsor is a great yeast too.

I think it matters depending on what equipment you are using. I condition the malt and then double mill. That gets me the best flow in my Braumeister all in one.

HB Saison, then I cleaned the keg lines and the head disappeared.

Onto the Paulaner version. This one is as good as the Weihenstephan version.
