Big fan of it. Somehow adds more perceived body than other hops, which works great for our beers. Aromatics suit oak too. Used to brew Acer at BBF in the old days, core range cask bitter with Sorachi!

The bottles were primed with molasses sugar to add further depth of flavour, before natural conditioning in-bottle. The resulting beer is dry and toasty, with balancing acidity and funk.

Mills Brewing @millsbrewing.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

The wort was made from traditional floor-malted Munich-style malt to give rich and dry, toasty/bready aromatics, as well as plenty of body. Aged hops were used in the boil to allow the malt flavours to shine, whilst limiting acid production during the slow spontaneous fermentation.

My main unanswered question for refusing the scoby is, where are the nutrients coming from to keep the microbes healthy, if all that's ever added is sugar and tea?

120

Mills Brewing @millsbrewing.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

Done a bunch of kombucha brewing and the internet advice is pretty limited in terms of microbiology and control haha Keep the initial pH down for sure. Also I baste the scoby most days to keep the exposed top from drying and/or increasing in pH.

Peat Smoke Spon Beer. No-one asked for this. But, it is good. Rolling carbonation. Somehow sweet and dry. Spicy.

Bitter Amber Saison. Toasty Dry Munich Malt. High alpha bittering hops. Noble hops to finish. Just enough again in the dry hop.

Amazing the lack of Brettanomyces, when it is thought to be almost inevitable in non sterile brewing methods. I'm surprised that high fermentation temp and/or quick high gravity fermentations is enough to occlude them. Great stuff, thank you!

The finished beer displays an elegant balance of acidity, oak tannin and hop bitterness. The silky texture of the rye allowed to shine without the prickle of carbonic acid. Cheers, Gen and Jonny Mills

The resulting spontaneous fermentation took place in a single ancient 350 litre barrel, and was left to mature for three years. The resulting beer was bottled without the usual priming sugar (so no carbonation was produced) and given time to rest in bottle before release.

Still is a single-barrel bottling of 3 yr old beer. The wort was made in Jan '23 from a turbid mash using Maris Otter and rye, to give both texture and aromatic interest. The wort underwent an long boil with large quantities of aged hops, before being held for 2 nights in our coolship.

Mills Brewing @millsbrewing.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

This is our fourth chance to release Still after finding another barrel that has enough character and the right balance to exist as a great finished drink, without the need for carbonation.

That's the kind of timescale I'm looking at..

Turbid mash day. - Mashed in at 8am. - 8x batch sparges. - 2nd boil kettle just starting. - Should be ready in 3 years.

Fermentation took place in our open coolship at warm ambient summer temperatures. The young beer maturated in large oak casks with wild yeast and bacteria until the winter. Finally, the beer is dry-hopped with whole-leaf hops and bottle conditioned for several months before release.

Mills Brewing @millsbrewing.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

The Dickens is our take on one of Jonny's favourites, the Belgian Golden Strong. An effervescent, heady, pale, dry, and lightly bitter beer that remains delicate and balanced despite its considerable strength. Infusion mash of pils malt & spelt. European hops and cane sugar added during the boil.

Mills Brewing @millsbrewing.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

A little extra before the final winter releade next Friday (that beer tbc): The Dickens now available millsbrewing.com There will be one further release to be included in the Winter '25/26 Build-a-Box, which covers releases in Dec, Jan, & Feb. Completed boxes will ship last week of February.
