Gyle 14 - Triskel Pale Ale - tasting notes

I’m finding the bottles a little too carbonated upon opening, they are foaming a bit, but the yeast isn’t being thrown up, so it’s all good at the moment.

Gyle 13a - Brett Pale ale - tasting notes

On the 23rd of March I brewed Gyle 13 - Bramling X SMaSH Pale Ale (details of that to come soon), and as I had been building up a culture of Brettanomyces yeast from bottle dregs (3 Fontainen and Cantillon to be precise) I threw in a couple of kilograms of MO pale malt to the spent grains from Gyle 13 and did another mash whilst Gyle 13 was boiling.

Gyle 19 - AG Red Chinook Saison

I was going to have a quiet day, I did a bit of reading, the usual. What I was reading was making me want to brew. I finally decided at about 6:30 this evening to start heating up some strike water and come up with a recipe. The recipe I decided on (at such late notice) was a very simple saison, single hopped with Chinook.
