Xmas brew
Re: Xmas brew
"Xmas" brew? Letting the side down I think
There should be a minimum of 500g cloves, half a Christmas pudding and six stuffing balls steeped in one of Santa's old socks.
But Merry Christmas anyway.

I brew therefore I ... I .... forget
Re: Xmas brew
I made a christmas brew a few years ago that tasted like it had those ingrediants in it
Re: Xmas brew
LOL.
I almost had a boil over while I had my back to the boiler posting those pics earlier - the foam came right out of the top but I got to it just before it came over the sides!
It's well into the boil now, so let's hope that's the last near-disaster.

What yeast have you used for your ESB?

Gervin (Nottingham).

Re: Xmas brew
Actually, I prefer Windsor for this brew, but I left it too late (Windsor takes longer to clear). Notty is OK though, as long as the OG is reasonably high. This one actually turned out to be about 1.049, as I got slightly better efficiency than I had set in Beer Engine. That'll be fine with notty.

Re: Xmas brew
Windsor is my new favorite dried yeast. I've never used it before - no idea why not. I just used it for two sub 3% beers so far and it has cleared quickly with those.
Sommeliers recommend that you swirl a glass of wine and inhale its bouquet before throwing it in the face of your enemy.
