I wrote about the summer beers that I homebrewed for 2024, including recipes: https://dafteejit.com/2024/05/my-summer-beers-for-2024/

@akrennmair now I’m going to have to try brewing an 8° Czech pale lager. My 10° is just about to start lagering so I will know how that turned out after 42 or so days.

When it's good, it's really good.

We‘ll be going to the United States for roughly 2 weeks starting end of May. Can anybody recommend a pre-paid mobile phone plan that works well (in terms of signal and bandwidth) and has reasonable amounts of data included? Personal experience only, please.

Here, I got a hot take about Thornbridge's Burton Union: they should brew a Bavarian Weissbier (aka Weizenbier/Hefeweizen) on it.

Marston's brewery retired their Burton Union systems in early 2024. It was announced yesterday that one of their Burton Union sets was handed over to Thornbridge brewery where it will be used to brew historic beers: https://www.beerguild.co.uk/news/carlsberg-marstons-brewing-company-and-thornbridge-brewery-find-a-new-home-for-burton-union-sets/

Pete Brown has more about this: apparently Garrett Oliver of Brooklyn Brewery was involved in making this possible.

I reviewed the book "Modern Lager Beer" by Jack Hendler and Joe Connolly on my blog: https://dafteejit.com/2024/04/book-review-modern-lager-beer/

@akrennmair sounds promising!

btw., have you tried the alcohol-free rothaus pils? it is so far my personal favourite alcohol-free beer.

@akrennmair@mastodon.beer avatar

@yrlaNor I have not, but I will seek it out. Thanks for the tip!

In a bit of a change of tone, here's me lamenting about my recent frustrations about liquid yeast and what consequences I'm drawing from it. https://dafteejit.com/2024/03/liquid-yeast-why-do-i-even-bother/

@akrennmair my understanding is that there's basically 2 historical lager strains (saaz and frohberg) and everything being sold is just a variation of one or the other. Maybe there are some minute differences but...

@akrennmair I see White Labs will release dry WLP860. Lately my favorite lager yeast, and what I’m going to use in my next Vienna Lager. If I can get in dry form in NZ then I will switch to that instead of harvesting and managing liquid yeast.

I still have a love/hate relationship with WLP800, recently using WLP802 instead. Tempted to switch to Mangrove Jack M84 for my Czech beers and just be done with liquid yeasts for those also.

Only remaining - WLP810 for Anchor Steam. Maybe will try M54

Here's my write-up of how to brew Mönchsambacher Weihnachts-Bock, according to brewmaster Stefan Zehendner (and what I managed to take notes of).

I wrote about the diversity of beer styles, or lack thereof ("everybody's just brewing IPAs"), how this is not a new phenomenon, and how it affected Germany's beer landscape. https://dafteejit.com/2024/03/the-diversity-of-beer-200-years-ago-and-now/

The metric cup of 250ml (as used in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada) implies the existence of a metric pint of 500ml and a metric gallon of 4 liters, and all the other units derived from the gallon.

@akrennmair here to confirm the metric pint has been around in Ireland for a while, where it's sometimes known as a 'festival pint'

@akrennmair Psst, buddy, wanna buy a metric gallon of milk?

I don't think it comes up for other things, but 4L is definitely the most affordable milk volume in Canada

If you haven‘t watched The Space Shuttle That Fell to Earth, please do so. It is a document of institutional failure in an organisation that struggled with poor internal communication and a flawed engineering and safety culture, despite the 1986 Challenger disaster. I found it truly shocking.
