TLB Brew Club

I managed four, i think i've gone soft.

 

nah not soft dude just not as daft as me

 

Started some bramble vodka off today for the winter hipflask

Take a bunch of brambles and wash them off



Put them in a container you can seal and add a good covering of sugar



Add the vodka and seal up then give it a good shake



Store in a cool dark place and shake once a day
After a month the bits can be strained out and extra plain vodka added untill it gets to your required taste

 

Anyone tried any other Woodforde's kits? I'm currently drinking Woodforde Wherry, but our local brew shop has got a special offer on all Woodforde kits this month and I wondered if anyone's got any other recommendations:

the woodesfords nog gets good reviews...

 

American IPA is happening this Sunday.

Have to order twice as many hops as usual so hoping for a nice hoppy 7% but looks like it will be at least 2 weeks in the fermenter before I get to taste it.

 

When is your brewery tour Lord C?

 

That sounds intriguing, do you need to open the container at all to let any pressure out? What ratios of blackberries/sugar and vodka?

 

I am thinking maybe next year inviting small groups down to brew their own recipes or combining a TLB tour of my brewery with another local slightly bigger outfit. Either way we could make us some TLB Beer and I could bring the bottles to the following TLB camp.

Maybe we could have a TLB brew off?

Any interest?

 

yep we are interested Your Lordship. Will bring some of our Special Reserve Elderberry Rum

 

Skittle vodka is very good

No pressure and its all amounts by what you feel at the time
If it ends up a syrup at the end just thin it out with cheap vodka

 

If I can stop Jan drinking all the vodka before I use it I might give that a go. Cheers Para

 

Good luck with that
Ive had two small glasses out of mine tonight

 

here you go tlb's very own

sANDYbAY there's lots of recipes there and our elderberry rum

 

Just add water

 

I really must get my eyes tested, I read "Crystal Malt" as "Crystal Meth" & wondered exactly what @Lord Charles was really brewing

I have also only had half a beer

 

Hmmm it is a thought for a "special" though and would build quite a demand and loyal following.

 

Look at the head on this beauty....

 

Damn!!!
