You're new to me and I've been homebrewing for many years here in England. Spot on evaluation of a classic bitter. Yes, it's best served on cask at cellar temperature. It always irritates me when English beer is characterised by those who know no better as 'warm and flat'. Absolute nonesense. In a pub it is served cool but not chilled, from the cask with that natural fairly low carbonation from the yeast but with plenty of life and sparkle. Well done for not calling bitter another name for British pale ale. They are two different styles. I've lived all my life in East Kent, so those Goldings are our pride and joy!

A bit of serendipity too, since a Kentish ale or a bitter is my number one favorite beer. Number two is a brown ale, similar to Newcastle Brown Ale. It’s a good one for winter drinking. I used to brew a brown ale but stopped when I moved around too much. I couldn’t keep it below 7% alcohol which made it a definite taxi or don’t drink it choice. 😊

I have been home brewing for about fifteen years. I live in Las Vegas and brew in my garage which make brewing a seasonal pastime. It is just too hot to brew in the summer. I have a portable air conditioner, but it is still close to one hundred degrees when I brew. Not a lot of fun. I have produced some pretty good brews over the years. I have used both full grain and boil in the bag. I like them both I use BeerSmith and have had very good luck with it. But my weak area is in my carbonation. Sometimes I get it right and sometimes it just is not great. There was a brewery here in Vegas who unfortunately closed during the Covid crisis. They used to make a delicious Citra Rye IPA. I experimented and produced very close copy. As soon as the weather cools down I plan to make a brew of it. It is October 6th, and it was one hundred today! Couple more weeks to go.

Doughing in pedantry: Just keeping in mind that language is fluid and evolving, but I think it's worth talking about. There is a difference between doughing in an mashing in. When you dough in, you add a small amount of room temperature water to the grains and wait for the starch to absorb it before adding hot water. The ratio of grain to water is about what you would add for making a dough -- hence the term. There isn't much reason to dough in these days. Malt is uniformly malted. It is generally milled consistently (mostly thanks to uniform malting). When doing an infusion mash with modern ingredients, there is basically no advantage to doughing in. However, for a triple decoction mash it is still relevant. For a really old school triple decoction mash you would normally do a protein rest (somewhere around 40-50 C). This definitely benefits from doughing in to get the enzymes into solution before raising the temperature. Decoction mashing is also a kind of beautiful thing in that you can hit your rests using nothing but boiling water and understanding your grain/water ratios. So this means you can dough in with cold water and hit your protein rest temp with boiling water -- and still have the correct mash thickness. Not many people are going to do triple decoction mashing any more, but I still think it's worth preserving the old wisdom -- and part of that is preserving the meaning of old vocabulary. I also wanted to say contratulations on the reverse hop schedule. Traditionally it would be fuggles for bittering and EKG for flavor and aroma hops. I vastly prefer it the way you did it. It is nigh on impossible to get a fuggles forward bitter these days, even in the UK. Such a shame! Even EKG is disappearing 😞

Also, what are the chances of posting more DIY brews? While I love science and would usually geek out at specific gravity readings or drool on your work notebook, for brewing I tend to view it 1/2 art 1/2 science. So the idea of sending off to the internet for extracts to clone the flavor-notes of a cellar some 1600's monastery brewmaster would slave away in kinda dispels the magic & makes things seem "Pay to Play"

'old man's drink' - standard to the 70s when laaaager became the thing for young drinkers and probably helped by the surge in travel to Europe especially package hols to the Med from here in the UK. And bitter's almost squeezed out between those lagers and more ancient traditional ales (ie hops+more hops). Anyway, this looks good, and 3.7% makes it a pretty good session drink

Nice brew there Glen. To be honest, anything with Golden Naked Oats has got my attention. Love those grains. I'd say to make life easier for yourself, put a 'liquid out' connection onto the end of your transfer hose from the fermentor. Connect this to the liquid out port on the keg after CO2 purging. You can then just open the keg vent port and run the beer straight into the keg oxygen free, with no open lid, and no splashing. I look forward to the next brew. 🍺🍺
@GlenAndFriendsBrewHouse6 күн бұрын
I've gone back and forth with that method - even split an Ale brew into two 2.5 gallon kegs. One with the zero oxygen, and one with the method I used here, and after a few weeks couldn't tell the difference. Lagers - I always use the method you describe, since they will 'lager' for 8 -12 weeks before I tap them.
@brewandbuild6 күн бұрын
@@GlenAndFriendsBrewHouse If you're getting through your beers quickly, then I think you're right. It's unlikely to notice the small amount of oxygen that's getting in. I'm pedantic about O2 with my beers. They can get stored for 6 months quite often, and even 12 months plus for the stronger ones. They noticeably stale over that time with even a tiny amount of oxygen.

Brewed an ordinary bitter this weekend, trying out the new(ish) English hop Endeavour. On malt front, I use my local maltster Murphy & Rude for all my grains, this recipe has their Pale, Biscuit, and red wheat malts, as well as either their English Pale malt or Munich 9 - I thought it was the English Pale, M&R's closest malt to Maris Otter, but the colour in the wort has me thinking I mixed up unlabeled bags. Not complaining because I think I will have a beautiful beer with nice residual sweetness to fill out the body somewhat. Usually I would use SafAle S-04 for my bitter, but I went with US-05 to get a better understanding of the Endeavour hops. OG is 1.036, 25 IBUs.

Great return to the channel. I haven't used SImpson DRC or GN Oats. The GN Oats being crystal oats looks intriguing, I will need to try it at some stage. Oats are very rare in bitters but was mandated for use in 1943 as an adjunct by the British government where both flaked oats and in some breweries, malted oats were used until the end of the war. So your recipe produced something similar to what would have been available in late war Britain, although at this time 3.9% was on the strong side.
