Oooo. My ordinary bitter, Tsurrus, is really nice with another week under its belt to age.

Is it going to win anything at the Cherry Blossom this weekend? I have no idea. But I like it.

#28 Nomi diversi...ma sempre di corsa si tratta

Intro Sembra che la primavera sia arrivata e cosi, ora, iniziano le gare, si puΓ² correre all’aperto senza ghiacciarsi e senza diventare una sacca di sudore...

Someone tried my beer tonight and said "I usually don't drink beer but this stuff you made is SUPER DELICIOUS!".

This is nice πŸ₯°

Well, I got a good lesson in what esters are in my last batch of KΓΆlsch-style ale. Lalbrew's instructions for rehydrating their Nottingham yeast say you can add the yeast to water that's 30-35Β°C. So, I felt it would be okay to pitch the rehydrated yeast into the wort when it was 35Β°C.

The next morning, when I lifted the cloth cover of my open fermentor, there was a strong, fruity (but not unpleasant) odor.

This week I'll bring my beer to two events.

I thought, a batch of Schwarzbier and a batch of Belgian Blond would last well through the spring. But when I subtract the beer that I'm planning on bringing to these events, I'm left with five bottles of Blond. πŸ˜…

Oh well. I guess there are worse things than people liking my beer.

And I really need to get that Saison going...

I got the short cider run bottled and resting to finish and clarify. Not sure how sweet it will be, but man it’s got a kick already. #homebrewing

This is the (pseudo) Sahti I brewed. It's pseudo cuz I did a simple infusion mash instead of a traditional step mash. I used Cypress boughs instead of Juniper because that's what I've got growing. Fermented with Espe kveik instead of the traditional Hiiva Finnish baking yeast. I did use proper Kaljamallas (Finnish roasted rye) which is where all the color came from.

Tastes good, very citrusy, almost tart (Espe is not supposed to have bacteria but 🀷)

My hop plants are telling me I better get off me arse and go get some support poles.

I can't believe how fast this Crystal hop plant is growing. It's well ahead of the Santiam and Mt. Hood plants. (I planted them all last spring.)
