This is a bit of an unusual Brewday Update bonanza, so undoubtedly we’ll now forget to post for weeks, but we finally discovered why there was no photo of the Styrian hops being thrown in to steep for yesterday’s brewday – I’d taken a video clip instead, then only half remembered doing it.
So here are a couple of slightly embarrassing clips of me fiddling with the Boxshed Timmy’s Original while listening to 6Music (which, by the way, always gets a lonely mention on the brewsheets under the ‘assistant brewer’ column!)
Remember everyone, never drink and brew (too much, anyhow) – there’s every chance you’ll spill either the refreshing pint or the boiling brew. And who’d want to waste a glass of BHJ?
First up, it’s the obligatory rolling boil following the addition of the chiller, auxiliary finings and late hops:
And finally the missing Styrians, in to steep. These always smell a treat, and should lift the aroma finish of Timmy’s Original:
Ha ha ha…
Love the hand going for the beer, most funny 🙂
Had that bottle of Brown Corduroys, lovely! Like Adnams Broadside, but better. More flavor than most commercial beers about.
Good stuff Tom! Try the Dark Garden, perhaps after the weekend. If it isn’t fully conditioned, I’ll sort you out with another one. I’ll be drinking the Goose and the Mawkin while you live it up at the beer fest…
