First taste of the porkies. Bangers and mash for dinner.
Holy cow that looks awesome! I'd drive up fir a taste if you didn't have that 7 feet of snow or whatever
Where's the Gravey
I’m sipping on a margarita while cooking a batch of beans and rice for Meatless Monday.
Have to consult the chief cook and bottle washer re the absence of the necessary gravy to properly present a banger and mash dinner. But she very quickly told me that I’d falsely advertised after the fact.Where's the Gravey

Depending on the room where you have your chest freezer, you could build a simple block-and-tackle hoist to get the kegs into and out of the chest freezer. My chest freezer/fermentation chamber is in the basement with only floor joists above, so it made the job fairly easy. It's not pretty but, it works.
Also, a couple years ago BYO magazine had a DIY project where the guy made a hoist by mounted steel pipe vertically to the wall, then a 90° elbow and a horizontal pipe. The hoist rolled along the horizontal pipe and since the brackets on the wall did not clamp onto the vertical pipe tightly, it could rotate almost 180°.
Very cool @BarbarianBrewer you’ve got a narrow gauge railway on the top of your basement!
Pilsner and Pizza
Ok @Josh Hughes you were asking about the Fermentis Swiss Lager Yeast S189
Here's my take on this beer more so trying to give non bias subjective feedback take it as you will remember I dumped the other half of this same beer (yes I'm still in morning lol).
1st up head retention is good but not great it sticks around mind you but isn't as fluffy as usual 34/70 fermentation remember bias maybe creeping in and this could be a grist thing.
2nd it's clear ish now but took a little more time to clear than comparrison 34/70 albeit no geletin finnings here all ala natural fermentation albeit some Irish moss at the 10 mins before flame out.
It remains a slight haze.
Now this is where I like it great body on the beer considering basics gladfield german pils and 200g half half Munich vienna for that little extra mashed low then high german lager schedule 62 for 40min 68- 20min 71- 20min 75 10min (mashed out).
The yeast seems pretty nutural but yes I think I get more fruity remember I fermented 15c under 5 psi pressure so it should be cold enough.
It's lingering malty flavour finishing crisp.
I just feel it took longer to start drinking great than 34/70 fermented would have.
You know I gotta go brew this now with 34/70 lol.
In the end would I ferment lager again with this oh you bet your bottom dollar I will i think it's a great yeast injust wish I'd saved some before pitching that other keg on the cake or I woulda continued for a few gens on this.
Anyhow cheers Josh hope that was somehow helpful.
Cheers
Oh this is a 6% pils btw it's deadly drinkable at that abv.
For perusal

Beef with garlic, rosemary, and merlot. I gotta feeling I know what’s for dinner. Maybe we do gravy this time.
Gonna do the oatmeal stout today. All the yummy food has me in a brewing mood.
Hey @RoadRoach , I don't know if you know this but we have a whole thread dedicated to food
it's under the General Chat subforumTypically this thread is for pictures of beverages we are currently enjoying

That's a yummy beer. I like the hops, but not the real bitter taste. I did a knockoff on this one, too. Turned out quite well.Getting psyched for my golden ale brew tomorrow

Sorry, got a little carried away. Was having one of my Leffe Abbey blondes while making those the other day, and got to chattin up Australia day cookout traditions. Didn't really notice until I'd already posted, and don't have a way to move 'em. I'll try to do better, or if it bothers enough, mods can remove. No offense taken.Hey @RoadRoach , I don't know if you know this but we have a whole thread dedicated to food

Not sure you'd like mine then, it's much bitterer than this!
