@akrennmair.bsky.social Hey Andreas, am heading to München in a couple of weeks, any recommendations outside the usual? Also, any home brew shops in the centre? Have found Hausladen but a bit out of the way.

Please allow me a moment of indulgence.
Still think I prefer the Helles which scored 29 😁

Snuck some Helles just before it starts lagering. I find the Andechs yeast quite distinctive and wonderful, I just wish it was available all year.

My Frangelico and Oak Milk Stout scored 43/50, but was clearly on a very competitive table, so didn't place. Happy with the score, but a bit sad as I felt it was my finest brewing and blending of flavours. Good to have some justification.

Celebrating with a British malt (well, almost: some Weyermann Melanoidin and Carafa) and British hop dunkel.
It's much more clear and mahogany than the photo.

Have managed to get some more Andechs yeast, so rebrewing the Helles (which got drunk far too quickly) and then something like a Landbier with Isaria malt.

Productive homebrew week. Kegged a Munich Dunkel and a Dunkel Weizenbock (should that be Weizen Dunkelbock?), and brewed a Dry Stout, which will ferment in my new toy, a 30l stainless Unitank. Wanted to give it a try as is before buying any more shiny parts, but leaves room for expanding.

Chocolate hazelnut vanilla milk stout. Rounded out a bit. Think the Frangelico and Oaked version is still superior.

Sampling the Irish Red. Wasn't overwhelmed with the chamges I'd made on this at first, but it's growing on me. A shade too dark but condensation and poor lighting aren't helping.

Makings of a mixed ferm saison today. Cheating a bit with Philly Sour. Have some BR-8 coming from Czech soon (hopefully) and will referment in bottle with that.

Making some speculaas cookies today, albeit not traditionally shaped. Highly recommend thespicegirl1969 from eBay who I've got a few spice blends from now. Such cute packaging

Testing the Heller Bock, only 3 weeks lagering so another ~6 needed. Possibly a bit too copper in colour. Clarity will improve, but taste wise am happy.

Tried a couple of milk stouts before I added some adjuncts to it (cacao nibs and vanilla in one half; and the other will be treated to Frangelico infused oak too). Will make it again as was, I think.
