Wedding ale
I finally got around to brew my wedding ale again, with small modifications. This beer was served at my wedding two years ago, and was a huge success, although I was not satisfired with it myself.
A couple of months after my wedding, I was subject to a blind test. There was this nice ale among the beers. I was the only one in the room who did not get the joke, as I was not part of the conspiray to smuggle beer from my wedding and present it to me in this manner.
What I learned is that you are your own biggest critic, as I really liked my own beer, when not knowing that it came from my hands. So now I am brewing the this lovely beer once again.
One big diffrence was also that I made a wirlpool in the brewpost just prior to racking the beer the the primary fermenter and pitching. This gave me a cleaner beer by far, but I had to saccrifice several liters of wort to the trub from the hot and cold break.
"Ironic is the fact that the more interested I get in beer, the less I drink of it. In my younger days I drank a lot, but was not ready to learn about good and great beer."
