The **Now Drinking** Thread

On the same stuff as Danza, though mine are rejects from the bottling line. Though, it may not actually be the Double IPA... I've said too much.
 
It's been quite a day. Wee Dram Fest - Bakewell. £16. 5 Hours. 110 different whiskies - mostly single malts (no I didn't try them all and there was some spitting involved as well as drinking otherwise I'd be utterly hammered and everything would have tasted brilliant after the first few...). Free tasting glass to take home. Quality really.

I've had English Whisky (St George #9 & #6), Welsh Whisky (Penderhyn), Indian Whisky (Amrut Fusion) Irish Whiskey (Connemarra) and lots of Scottish Whisky.

Standouts from the day - the ones that made me go "Wow" were Adbeg Uigeadail, Ardbeg Corryvreckan, Port Ellen 27 yo (I wish I had £145 quid spare - when it's gone it's gone as the destillery's been demolished) and Penderyn Madeira Cask.

Plenty of other nice ones about. Bought a set of Penderyn miniatures and a full sized bottle of Uigeadail.

Anyway - now drinking some of my Laphroaig Quarter Cask at home. Not quite up to the standard of some of the stuff I had earlier but still very nice.

Aceface, you ever use those hops I sent?
I'm going to re-dryhop my IPA before bottling, thinking about throwing some Saaz in this time though. Had a taste the other week, and it seems very good. Classic IPA, it's about 5.8% so thinking about boosting that a little bit as I'll need to repitch the yeast as it's no doubt died due to the length of time I've left it. Because of all this, no idea how it's eventually going to turn out but my stocks are very low. Only got the Rhubarb wine and my alcopop attempt (which failed, wonderfully!)
 
Yeah, not my next brew but the one after that, which will be another two weeks, will be using them. Going to go with another APA again.
I'm really low on stocks just now as well, 2 bottles of experimental wine (it's not to my taste but my flatmate loves it) and 20 litres of cider, but not in the mood for cider really at the moment.
