Today ladies and drunks, was or 3rd annual Real Ale Fest (RAF) at Real Ale Central Illawarra (known as Les's place, George Ave Bulli).
I make and drink alot of beer, and before us was presented an Amber Sparkling Ale. It was well, ******* fantastic. Had all the dimensions of a Coopers Sparkling, but it was an Amber Ale rich and malty and disappeared damm quickly! Brewed with Coopers yeast (insert required phenols), balanced but unlike the thin quafable sparkiling, it was rich and smooth and sparkling.
I will put the old-fella out into the wind and say this is really an invention at hart for us Aussies. As I said to Grant, 'please buy a brewery and start making this commercially so I can sell @hartspub.' Grant is unaware (till now), that I am going to rip this off as my next speciality batch!
My thoughts are;
19l
4.5kg Ale Malt
300gm Simpsons Crystal
50gm Simpsons Choc
20 IBU Hops
no flavour Hops
Coopers Yeast from bottle
(take off .5kg malt and substitute with sugar if wanted)
Mash Conditioning
1.5 gm Salt
2.5 gm Gypsum
2 gm Chalks
8.5 gm Calcium Chloride
Happy to receive samples of this to try!
