I brewed today!

[GFHomebrew]

Lots of similar beers being brewed today!

I'm balancing it out with a pilsner

Came in 1 point under but measurement error could bring me smack bang on.

I’m researching, be patient. Today I found these subjects at Total Wine, not all that I was looking for. I need to find a better bottle shop.
View attachment 19769 As you can see, I am going to try the Henhouse oyster stout to see if I like it. I hope I do. Never yet have I brewed a stout, so it will be something new for me.

That Guinness extra stout is my favorite Guinness

I read today that is the best one to have from a bottle. It’s the best option after fresh draft beer.

Perhaps "Cloisters Tout" might be a more friendly name?

@AHarper you are very clever with the words sir!

Maybe an Oysterless Oyster Stout.

B'Oysterless Stout.
I understand the shells and perhaps brine is what is important to the beer, not the meat. I wonder if other shells would have about the same effect?

From what I read the meat doesn't really add much, I could've omited it without changing the final product

2 oysters in 3 gallons? Yeah, not enough to be a problem. And they are sanitized by the boil anyway...

And fully cooked, which was my main concern. I don't do raw oysters

I was also replicating a beer I've had where I know they used whole oysters in the boil kettle

Look at those whole cone hops! Cluster from @Bulin's Milker Bucket Brews ?

The Ukranian Belgian with @AHarper 's Crossmyloof yeast that I managed to resurrect. 1.074 OG, expecting 1.077

Ordinary Bitter
Shooting for 1.039, got a little too much. The pre-boil gravity was a bit high, so I cut the boil short. Not short enough. So I ended up with a few extra points and extra volume.
For my BIAB setup, I know small beers usually lead to better conversion (big water:grain ratio). Not a big concern, but I’ll have to adjust the dial next time.

Awesome color!

And nice clarity too!

Thanks. There was a wicked cold break with this beer like I’ve never seen before. But I have never found clear wort to be a prerequisite to clear finished beer, and I’m not convinced that this one will finish clear. We shall see.
