Not brewed in a couple of years, which is enough time to forget how much hard work is involved! (Mostly cleaning, sanitising and lifting heavy steel vessels around)

Glad I had AI to tell me today’s turbo session was ‘challenging’ 🫠

Excellent dinner with Eric Rodez last night showcasing his range of champagnes. The 2013 empreinte in particular were superb - incredibly expressive and a v long life ahead of them! Also treated with a superb 2010 clos de beze from drouhin laroze 😍 thanks to vins Clairs for putting it all together!

Spending the weekend down in lewes, obviously went down to get some Harvey’s first. Dill restaurant has some v good dishes and liked the vibe but there’s definitely a few things to iron out there

Soho historians will be delighted to know that pickle and toast is finally going to be fully open summer 2025 according to a sign on the door. I remember it took many years for it to open briefly for a couple of months and checking google reviews those months were in 2018 🤔

Cycled over to one of the best pubs on the planet, the white horse inn, edwardstone, which is attached to little earth brewery. Superb tap selection especially for wild/sour/mixed ferm beers 😀

Kicking off the weekend with a big ear - I usually make bread over a 24hr period (mix/bulk ferment/shape morning->evening, rest overnight and bake next day) but I wanted a loaf for this evening so sped things along by increasing bulk fermentation temp to 26-27C

Casual Sunday! Some notes in the alt text. Don’t often get to try ulysse collin these days which is a shame!
