Break Stuff
This post wasn’t meant to be about oatmeal stout, it was meant to be about making the Landlord clone, Grenadier. Unfortunately, however, that brew was afflicted by the same issue as the last batch of La Marmotte d’Or so there’s no post about either brew! Pouring away two batches of 35 litres of beer is pretty heart breaking. Annoyingly the Marmotte d’Or was the first brew I had made to go through the beer engine (did I not mention that I’d invested in a beer engine?), and whilst it looked amazing it tasted revolting. I’d originally thought it was caused by an issue with the tap on the fermenter, but as I changed that for the Grenadier I am more inclined to believe it was sanitiser related.
