Good morning all, can anyone suggest pubs & bars in or nearish Stratford, London please? I've a night there before a day's workshop & would love to know your favourite places & beer in the area. Many thanks! #beersky

My home brew club is having an "Iron Brewery" competition of 'nice' & 'nasty' ingredients for a fun competition in October. I got coffee & mushroom, so am doing a coffee stout with porcini extract. The brew is done, slightly down at OG1058, & cooling to 18°C before adding Nottingham yeast.

Picked up an old map of Belgium today from a charity shop, to spend hygge (is there a Flemish/French equivalent?) over Winter highlighting breweries for future road trips. The real pleasure of a niche neurodivergent interest, and a lot of beer books to refer to ❤️.

I came across this in the latest phase of sorting through my dad's things. It's a scene from Cornwall, 1980. I love the colours & composition, a reduced palette, painted by my dad. I miss him, there aren't many opportunities to recognise that within myself. I send this picture out to the ether.
This is a watercolour painting. It's still in a pad, and is mainly blue as a palette. It is a plain picture of a Cornish tin mine on the moors (is that right for Cornwall?), with a smoking chimney.

Me: If I keep focussed, I'll get the stuff out of the garage and to the tip, and then bottle the beer. Also me: Hey, how about I drill a water bottle to make drinking easier in the van?
This is a steel water bottle on a wooden worktop, with cream tiles behind. It has an opaque tube in the lid. That's a syphon tube repurposed from brewing.

Last call for these £100 each, ex-French Red wine barrels, 3x filled by us with beer. If no one wants them I may strip these down and make something for @wishbonetap from the wood or clean the heck out of them and start a Brett project.

Following on from the brew day, I've never known liquor run so clear. There was a lot of wheat, and a burnt ring of grist on the base after the mash and boil, despite stirring. The yeast took over a day to get really active, but it's foaming now!
A large boiler is in a black insulation cover, on a wooden trolley, on grey decking. There is a black chilling coil on top of the boiler. There is a red brick wall behind. This is clear liquor running in a mash, in a metal boiler. There are 2 other barrels in shot. This is taken from above. This is where the magic happens. This is a glass carboy fermentation vessel on a shelf in a fridge. There is dark liquid wort in the carboy with thick white foam on top. There is a red handle on the carboy to help lift it.

Today's a surprise brew day, fitted in before we go away. It's a Lambic style with Trois Vrai yeast, to be left on apricots and raspberries in 2 secondary carboys. Carnage seems a good backing album from Nick Cave & Warren Ellis.

Morning's flown by, I was at Brighton Pride for 10 mins 🏳️‍🌈 then the train to London, British Library to chill, now at KC seeing if my Leeds train will be cancelled. My festival shorts are broken in, currently holding 2 pizza slices in the side pocket. Happy Yorkshire Day. Happy Pride.

The highlight of Preston Park's festival today is The Flaming Lips. Yoshimi BTPR, The Golden Path, Do You Realise? and a stonking cover of Black Sabbath's War Pigs. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds next 🤘🏻
This is the main stage at Brighton's Preston Park. The crowd is along the bottom, there is 1 screen on either side of the stage, and there is an inflatable rainbow on stage.

In a rare position of having multiple styles of homebrews available, which are a gift for a mate putting me up in London. Bière de Garde, lager, bitter, BdG mixed fermentation, kveik barleywine. The range available to make, the flexibility & the ideas on the Web are the fab reason I'm homebrewing.

It's mango season in Bradford UK. The first time I've been out to get some boxes from the vans parked up. I was going to make mango chutney, but wow, these are honey mangoes (sp?) and are just too good for that. Delicious!
These are 3 cardboard boxes stacked on a wooden worksurface. The box top features yellow mangoes. We have eaten 3 between 2 of us. This is the fourth yellow mango in a pale yellow sheet is tissue paper in an open box. It looks like a potato, but it's so much nicer.

Last night I finished the '5 minute job' of bottling 2 beers. The bitter is a Worthington White Shield style & finished at 5.7%. The Bière de Garde mixed-fermentation was drier than the original, as expected, but the dregs I used tasted 'flat' later, so I'm hoping that doesn't drag this brew down.
This is a table covered with a black rubber mat, with 2 groups of glass bottles. There's a white plastic fermentation tub behind them, and a yellow plastic bottle stand. In the front, under the table is a cloth to catch the drips from the bottling process. There's a big green Monstera plant at the back, and pictures on the wall.

Bottling an English Bitter tonight, with Neil Young's live set boosting me on. If I get time, I'll be bottling the Bière de Garde mixed fermentation demijohn too. Some Brett & de Dolle dregs to see what happened. Bizarre, given I'm drinking less & can't make the next 2 homebrew club meets 🤷🏼‍♂️.

Very much a shock tonight to see I'm at least 2½ stone overweight, when I used a scale at the gym tonight (occasional visits). If I write it here, I can own this & get healthier. I kidded myself it's never been that much but yeah, that's not worked out well. Giving more homebrew away is a start 🤒🏋️❤️

If you stood on Briggate at 8am on a weekday in 1957, and stood there again in 2026, in which year could you reach more of the city in half an hour? Samuel Bancroft has crunched the numbers. Since the 1950s, Leeds has got bigger - but the city has effectively shrunk.

Brewers, how long do you leave your beers on Brett & microbes before bottling please? I have one carbuoy that's still slightly bubbling for over a year, & I'm wondering if that will be a bottle bomb still. Thanks. #brewsky #beersky #bskybeer

2 photos to save as a memory for later in the year when it's colder, the view from inside the van. This is overlooking the start of the Baltic Sea, maybe I brew another Baltic Porter when I get back.
This is taken from the motorhome doorway, facing over the Baltic sea. The grass is in the foreground, there's a bit of sand visible, then the sea. There's the awning leg to the right. A photo of the sea, a lot of grass in the foreground, and the awning from the van. There's a tree on the right growing in the low grassy cliff.

2 sides of motorhome touring through Germany up to Denmark. Rural buildings and local beers, mainly helle, pils and kellerbier. The rain has moved on from our forecasts and it's warm. Denmark tonight.
This is a red brick and wood structure in Saxony, Germany. It has wooden doors and an inscription over them. It has green trees on either side. We passed it when we stopped for a walk around Dummersee. This is an aisle in a German drink supermarket. The floor is pale stone, there are multicoloured labels on the crates on either side. Mainly beer here, and soft drinks.

Palm Lager put on tonight with Skare yeast, which is a make do beer - a lager kit with brew/invert/palm sugar and hopefully a Kveik that will take off tonight 🤞🏻. Now enjoying a smoked Fastenbier from Schlenkerla.
This is an Inkbird temperature controller. It's a small case with red numbers showing the current temperature and the desired temperature. It's hanging off a fridge side, also known as my brew chamber. This is trying to get a Kveik yeast up to high temperatures for a lager kit. There is a yellow bungee cord above it, and its manual below it.
Humble brag - I broke it carelessly, and managed to mend it, handy since this model isn't sold anymore.

In Ellen Barkin's voice "Night time in the big city, no-one stirs. The water has seen it all but isn't talking." Bristol bridges at night.
This is under a bridge in Bristol, at night. The brick wall is light brown with yellow and black graffiti. The pavement is white and the water reflects the graffiti.

Brewers, do you use neutral wood & soak it (eg port, sherry, brandy), or soak cubes from spirit barrels with that additional alcohol, when adding to beer? If you use neutral cubes, where do you source them from (non-Amazon & in the UK)? Many thanks for any advice. #brewsky

Peak bourgeoisie! My first crop of wild garlic uncovered from surrounding weeds. Just need to grow polenta and I'll be sorted.
A photo from above. This is of an earth border, centred on green leaves of wild garlic. There are green mossy rocks and other weeds, but this is the first year I've grown some to make trendy pesto.
