Trying to figure out what to brew next whilst my extra special bitter finishes bottle conditioning should be ready by next week.
Got some craft beer on the weekend and managed to get my first brown ale from smack republic. I think its great!
I have been meaning to brew one since I started so I will be looking over a few recipes and brew this next.
Perfect beer for winter!
This is spot on from the website
An English style Brown Ale loaded with notes of caramel, toffee and subtle smoked nuts and winner at the Clarens Beer Fest.

Devil's Peak Lucy Goes Cold IPA | 24 x 330ml Cans | 6% ALC/VOL
Cold IPAs have been taking the world by storm so we decided it's time to put Lucy inthe middle of that storm and bring you Lucy goes Cold. This IPA strives to emphasisethe flavours of the hops while using a lager yeast but fermented at slightly highertemperatures. The yeast is a critical element...shop.devilspeak.beer

I could ask Greg for the recipe
If you get it pop it on via dm wont say no
The best beer on the continent is made in the Cape Winelands
Given the opportunity, our beer-loving nation would no doubt travel thousands of miles to find the best brew on offer. For us Capetonians, this means a short trip to the Winelands.

I bought some last year when Nick launched the beer. Still have one in the fridge chilling out. It really is something different. very champagne like, I quite enjoyed it but it's best shared with friends that appreciate beer.
I love the experiments they do. They recently launched a Harvest ale, it contains grapes, self malted barley, pumpkin and hops from their garden..
They really have a unique take on beer and brewing, and it's worth the trip to Franschoek to see what they do at the brewery.
The aforementioned English Extra Special Bitter is ready for consumption!
Beautiful head and nailed the colour. This is going to be a great winter beer. 6% just a touch of sweetness but well balanced with the bittering English hops. Some caramel and maybe a tad of toffee too.

Thats a really nice shade of red you got there mate. Well done!!
Thank you kindly!
Recipe if you wanna give it a shot. Some ingredients a little different to the usual ones as I had covid and had to make do with what I had on hand.
Thanks will add it to the pipeline. I have an oaked triple to do next
Ooooooh sounds yummy! Assuming wood staves? How long you gonna age it?
I want to do an Imperial porter/stout and also oak it for 6 months to a year
Yes oak staves I have some french oak that I will use. Will be kegging so will sample as it ages, ill be aiming for something like duvel so light and digestible as the belgiums say.
I would be hestitant to have oak staves in contact for longer than a week or so. Seems like if it isnt a big arse barrel that it over extracts in weeks not months.
Good luck my RIS is my best beer to date it's a 15% monster. I think your micro batches would be perfect. I have been taking sips of the half I kegged. Should be finished sometime in the next 10 years or so lol.
Oooh thanks for the tips, I have a massive to brew list but will add these tips too it!
