Both good points. I remember reading somewhere (might have been this forum) about someone testing various commercial beers and them coming up short in regards to labelled IBU's. Long time spent at isomerisation temps post-boil would have considerable effect on IBU's. Is a hot stand part of...

Good idea Pratty. I have historically used Horizon, Magnum and Simcoe due to their low co-humulone levels which is meant to reduce 'harsh' bitterness. Maybe it's the harsh bitterness that I like... Warrior is about 22-26% whereas what I have been using is sub 20% co-humulone. Even give Columbus...

Thanks for the feedback. spog - It's not just this recipe that seems under-bittered. I've made many styles (with much less hop additions) that seemed lacking in bitterness. I now just add in ~20% IBUs than what should sufficient for the recipe. I was aiming for a real bitter IPA...

Greetings all. My beers have been coming out repeatedly under bittered compared to what various programs and calculators seem to indicate. I'm not sure why, as all calculations seem to indicate my beers should be tasting more bitter than they are perceived. The latest example is an IPA I just...

Have you emailed Moondog? They had an original Jumping the Shark that was about 10.5% brewed for the Rockwell & Sons GBW event. The truffle aroma was much, much more pronounced than the recent 15% bottled version. I think the percentage of truffles was a lot higher in the first JTS. Going by...

I echo Ferg's sentiments. Always had a great time there. Fantastic list of beers and excellent food. I really liked what they were trying to do as far as exposing people to different, interesting beers (got my ex into sours!) and nose to tail eating. Quite sad that they're closing. I'll have to...

There was a quick segment on Triple J's Hack tonight about enzyme brewing. Link: http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/hack/podcast/hack_daily.xml 13.7Mb - Thurs 28/06 Starts at the 23min17 mark. I haven't heard of this method before, which is basically manufacturing the enzymes released through the...

I'm interested to see what sort of recipes you find and how they turn out, as I've had a few heather ales and they were pretty good. Not sure if the heather ales use flowers or leaves though. I have the book 'Sacred Herbal and Healing Ales'. It's not with me at the moment, but from memory it...

Is that one of the earlier stages? It was a year ago I played it, but remember something like that happening in the Cuban / Kill Castro level. It was bugged for me so had to restart that stage. From memory you need to get to a gate to the left out the front of the building. Another vote for...

I reckon the cognac character is pretty good. Maybe a smidgen more, but there's already a fair bit going on. It is quite mouth coatingly tasty. Didn't ask where the barrels came from. I really enjoyed the Abby Collaby between the breweries. However, it was my start of good beer week so maybe I...

Picked up a bottle myself after the tasting at Purvis. Really nice beer. I'm trying to force myself to let age for a bit despite its incessant beckoning. Might have pick up a few more. Chatting to Moon Doggers, they said it's only been in the bottle for 3 weeks after about a month in Cognac...
