Don't you love it.

This is Batch #5. I've just looked at my logs and to my suprise, its a LME Kit 1.8kg leave the sugar out and brew as a 2.5 gallon brew. I added an ounce of fuggle hops and.....suprise suprise, I did it in a MR. Beer Barrel and straight to bottle from primary (No racking bucket or any thing)

WOW it's wonderful.

Looks spectacular! But...I move that orfy's posts be time delayed by 5 hours to US EST! Seriously, how am I now supposed to sit here and watch the clock for another two or three hours??


LOL, it's the same for me but I read your post either early am or when I get up.

I have one more chilled then I have 3 shop boughts to compare.

Wow.. Sierra Nevada is exported to England? Cool. I didn't think much US beer was exported.

gotta say, i like your choice of beer!!!! it cost me 60 euros(about $75) for a case of duvel last year. they have international bazaars here every year and i go straight to the beer guy! got 3 types of chamey(did i spell that right?) there too!
 
They bought out one of our local retailers. It's still called Asda but it's owned by wallmart.

Some of the stuff I will not buy, e.g. Jeans at £3 a pair, in a price war with the leading chain.
Now £1 or so difference on the price of jeans means nothing to me but it does to the poor labourers in the chinese sweat shops.
Sorry enough politics, I have beer to drink!

p.s. I appologise for any poor posts in around 30 minutes....I'll of drank 3/4 of the line up by then.
 
keep your eye open for viable yeast in the sierra. I've had two of the big bottles in the last month that had a wad of yeast at the bottom the size of your pinky fingertip.

And the Duvel almost assuredly has a yeast cake.

Duvel, nothing.

But there again it has been shipped 3000 miles plus in god knows what conditions. It's very cloudy but no chunks or sediment. :(

To tell you the truth it's a nice ale but it tastes some what like my west coast pale ale 2 weekis in to conditioning, just a little smoother. The same yeasty CO2 bite, same colour and body.
