Homebrew Wednesday - PyotrSidwell's Cascadia

This is a beer that needs talking about, so I'm going to do just that. For those looking at the timestamp and saying it's not Wednesday, I say to you that I've not been to bed yet, so it's still Wednesday to me!

Homebrew Wednesday - KungFuRamone

This is only the second one of these, mainly as I don't seem to drink beers on a Wednesday. This is not the case today.

@KungFuRamone AKA Dave Harrison-Ward is a homebrewer from Macclesfield who has the rather ace blog Brews Implosion!! and recently he joined in on the bulk buying of hops that is enjoyed by some homebrewers in the Manchester area. He got some rather lovely Sorachi Ace whole hops, and he used the lot to make a Vienna Sorachi Saison.

Gyle 39 - Ventura pale

Today’s brew day started out as I had bought some aroma hop oil from The Malt Miller, and wanted to do a side by side comparison. So I devised to brew a batch, ferment it and then split it and dry hop one with hops, and the other with the aroma hop oil.

Gyle 14 - Triskel Pale Ale - tasting notes

I’m finding the bottles a little too carbonated upon opening, they are foaming a bit, but the yeast isn’t being thrown up, so it’s all good at the moment. 

Gyle 13a - Brett Pale ale - tasting notes

On the 23rd of March I brewed Gyle 13 - Bramling X SMaSH Pale Ale (details of that to come soon), and as I had been building up a culture of Brettanomyces yeast from bottle dregs (3 Fontainen and Cantillon to be precise) I threw in a couple of kilograms of MO pale malt to the spent grains from Gyle 13 and did another mash whilst Gyle 13 was boiling.
