First of all, I'm dying on my ass here. Manflu on steroids aka the real flu. I clearly have no idea what I'm saying or doing which is why the brewday is about 4 minutes.
Trying Azacca again for the first time in 18 months when that beer got infected somewhere along the way. I still don't know what it tastes like but I'm ready to give it another chance. Let's do it! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7y2ukSPg3o
This is the second version of this Porter with the first being a masterpiece from 3 years ago. Well I think it was a masterpiece but is my memory a bit hazy with all the alcohol in between. Only one way to find out...
Also, this is the first brew in the double infected fermenter. Have gone above and beyond what is needed to clean and sanitise this but the fatalist in me thinks this beer might end up the same way.

This is another crack at a New England IPA but building on the brew from a few weeks ago. Using the Conan strain in this one really makes a difference to what has gone before. No Galaxy in there to ruin the beer either so should be fruity, hazy and generally all-around tasty beer to enjoy while the summer is here.

I've been set a homebrew-related challenge by the esteemed Brewboy Callaby and being unable to resist the calling through hubris or plain stupidity, this video is what happened after I accepted.
You can find Matts Channel here, give him a sub and maybe he'll put videos out on a more regular basis.

This is another fine mess I've got myself into.
The options for v3 are:
Cut down or cut out bittering hops
Reduce the FV dry hop
Switch to leaf for the keg dry hop
Abandon the keg dry hop altogether
Add an extra grain (eg vienna) to mash to enhance malt flavour
Switch out yeast

Another two great beers from Timmi, good job I have a drinking partner or I'd be in serious trouble. Looks kinda familiar that guy....
