Chrome plated, of course!

I would say creaminess is mouthfeel. You don't need a highly carbonated beer: think Guinness - it's flat. I think what you need is lots of protein, i.e. from flaked barley. A Guinness head lasts the whole glass because there is lots of head-positive protein present.

How's this for a theme: 25 interpretations of a very popular (locally-developed) Amarillo-powered golden ale? ;-)

Unfortunately, I went there today. I had a "Bitter". I was shocked at the level of carbonation, must have been 3.5 volumes! Tasted boring, and had an extract twang. Reminded me of some of my early K & K brews. Very disappointed. Foolishly, I went back for more. I asked the lady behind the bar...

All three BIAB'd and no-chilled. :-) Pants

Thanks, DrSmurto... JSGA is just not the same anymore! I brewed the award-winning version, and I love it. Can't wait to tap the keg... pants.

The Australian Pale Ale has been bottled and kegged a week and a half, and the DrSmurto's Golden Ale has been bottled and kegged two and a half weeks. Both have come out beautifully. There were only seven stubbies of DrS' GA, so I'm tasting them sparingly, but it's delicious. There are four...

I regularly brew 66 litre (into fermenter) batches with a single-layer swiss voile bag. My 98 litre Beerbelly kettle, Mongolian burner and home made roller skyhook thingy are considerably cheaper than that urn, and work beautifully. Pictures in this thread. It's a brewery alright, but I...

I've never broken one in 12+ years of brewing, but I'm on my second one because a mate broke one for me when he borrowed it!

Wow... Until now I'd been disposing of spent hops in the same garden bed as the grain, but it seems the dogs weren't interested in it (luckily). I'll be disposing of it more carefully in future! Thanks for the heads up.

And lots of it. My Labradors both gorge themselves on it after I dump it on the garden, too. No ill effects, just lots more to pick up...

Thanks for your kind offer... That'd be a great help! :icon_chickcheers:

I've got these feelings... I've just made 119 litres of wort, and I feel like making more. If only I had the cubes and grain etc... Am I addicted?

:lol: All cubed now, cleaned, put away... Beer o'clock! BeerTools Pro tells me that I got 80% efficiency! Wow!

A couple of shots of gratuitous brew soft porn: Mongolian burner at 4 am: The breeze has come up a bit, so I've wheeled out my welding screen which doubles as a wind break. It's also handy for hanging hoses on to dry. Five minutes left of boil.

I was concerned about it at the time, stripped off and ran the hose over it after I capped the cubes. You can hardly see it now. I'm having fun... Just added the hops.

Heating up for the boil. Slightly higher pre-boil gravity than expected. Volume is as calculated. :)

I was also home looking after my Junior Brewer who had an ear infection. I recall you had an issue with a pirate. :)

I suspect she'll leave Ardrossan (about 2 hours away) when the Junior Brewer is ready for her sleep, so she could be here around lunch time. I've mashed-in, and preparing to transfer yesterday's wort from the cubes to the fermenters. Yeast is just re-hydrating on the stirrer now. You had a...
