Well for a bit of info here is what is coming up in the near future. I plan on brewing a stout, somewhere on the sweeter side of things. I am going to try and get it as dark as possible without going to roasted flavour and get some fruit flavour on the hops side of things. I am thinking a small about of Willamette for bitter and an even lesser amount of Nelson Sauvignon to get some aroma in it. I am looking to do it just before I head back to the states for a few weeks which will keep me from looking at it which will make me want to touch it. With me out of the picture, it will have a chance to ferment for 15 or so days. I hope to bottle it soon after I return and let it condition for a few weeks. We shall see.
London beer trip coming up this weekend with some of the old cannon crew and may be finding a few American beers. Let's hope to find some Lost Abbey, Deschutes, Coranado and a few other surprises.
A few of the local beers here that are worth watching out for:
Anything from Compass Brewery in Oxford which includes all of 4 beers but all of them are as good of beer that you will find in England.
GreenJack Lurchers Stout.
And anything from Old Chimney out of Market Weston. The guy pretty much does it as a hobby and makes some of the best beers you will find on the plus side of 6%.
Later
Tim
