Sad news in the brew room this as we have had to dump the full batch of Fuzzy Navel, an Orange peel infused Pale Ale brewed back in August last year. We had had reservations about this beer as it had finished gravity of 1.020, fairly high for a 5% beer and with some strange tastes which we hoped would mellow with time but unfortunatly have not.
In other news the Bilge Pump Saison has been bottled, and has come out with a very interesting taste, not as spicy / yeasty / estery as the last one which was extract plus grains with the original Belgium Saison yeast compared to this all grain with the Belgium Saison II yeast. At the moment it's conditioning in the fridge next to the latest Hoptastic at 18.5*c, it will be interesting to try after a week or so as we were expecting some big ester tastes due to the high fermentation temperatures, up to 27*c.
Check out The Brew Shops new website as they have completly reworked it and I believe that the ES Brewing site is an exact copy, something to check on later in the week.
Cheers and Beers
