Brupacks Honley Mild

July 22, 2008

It’s been a while I know. I actually have so much beer at the moment I haven’t had enough free bottles for another batch. The Honley Mild is a Brupacks beer (all of which I have been impressed with so far). It supposed to be a low alcohol session beer, which is perfect for this time of year. The process was the same as other Brupack beers, which include an additional hop bag for added flavour.

I hydrated the yeast with some 25degree celcius water. The hop bag was left in the boiling water for 15 minutes to create a hop brew which was added to the beer. I also added a flavapack which was brewed for 30mins, you can see the end result below:

The weather is pretty warm at the moment with predicted forcast of 29 degrees on thursday. This brew will be done in no time!

Edme Superbrew Gold Weizen – Tasting

July 22, 2008

Ok this is a lager so you wouldn’t expect the same sort of flavour as a real ale. Although there still isn’t a great deal of flavour. The beer is too flat for a lager which may be because I didn’t put enough sugar in each bottle or because I used plastic as opposed to glass bottles. It’s perfectly drinkable and better than the standard bunch of piss you get in pubs but I’m used to the good stuff now.
