Bottled the Saison yesterday. Cant wait to try it carbed

Drinking Montieths crushed apple cider right now. I can dig it

[FaceAche]

Yeah, that's a nice cider. One of the few ones around made from actual apples rather than concentrate juice. Although, i get the Speights Cider, the Isaacs (or Macs) Cider, the Monteiths one..... they all taste pretty similar to me.

Love my Cider. And not just because it's now 'in'; have always been into it, Scrumpy, Brightstone.... whatever

I had a night at the Horse & Trap once up in Auckland drinking half 'n halfs of Cider and Guinness. Needless to say, i was plastered by the time i walked out of there. Was awesome.

Not really a cider man myself, but the one i made is pretty decent.

Currently sipping on a "belgian dark strong" ale I made a couple of months ago. It is INCREDIBLE! Probably my best brew so far. Pretty serious though... at 10.5%

Looks almost identical to a previous brew, but tastes a bit better i reckon

[morehu]

What size did you bottle em in Sock ?

[sock merchant]

Most of em are in standard 330's, and a few in 750 bottles (i believe they are old swappa crate bottles)

[morehu]

Was gonna say 750ml at that strength would be quite a commitment

[sock merchant]

its for when people come round

Now that, is MY kind of ale. Looks wonderful.

[sock merchant]

oh indeed sir, it tastes wonderful too.

Ive cracked a bottle of the Saison a week early and its a banger. Where has this beer been all my life

Next time a touch more hops

I have some US Cascade at the mo so will do a straight Cascade American IPA for my next brew

[Maucrephy]

I just bottled the R3 out of the keg............it tastes better out of a keg I reckon, its got no yeast sediment so you get a cleaner tasting beer

[morehu]

Man the Saison has such a crazy yeast flavour. Its kinda like bananas and caramel. Ill add more hops to the next one coz I think it could do with a little more bitterness even though its only the final gravity was 1.006

[sock merchant]

Yeah Saison is a strange one. But i love it. Some people do make it a bit more bitter. some even dry hop it

Cracked out some of the Imperial Clone, Darkside ,Munich ,Bolag and 3waka out of the kegs today for a beer tasting shesh tomorrow ,I must say the I-clone has matured bloody fantastic its about 8 months old now also I enjoyed a taste of the Darkside again
