have recently put down two brews. my first in forever. an esb and a simple blonde ale. after going over the top on some brews it's nice to go back to simple recipes :) botany bitter maris otter crystal wheat amber roast barley 1.046 willamette to 35 ibu not sure on yeast yet but likely...

mmmmmmnope

and agreed, red wine is the balls. a lovely bitey shiraz, or a smoother cab sav and i can drink bottles of the stuff.

no need mate. she's a thing of beauty from that pic!

looks bloody awesome and yet it seems dark for only a touch of crystal?

mate you always seem to make a beer look x-rated! damn sexy.

POR. get it indya

drinking the 'douglas dinner ale'. remotely based off the reschs dinner ale and similar beers he drank in his younger years. here's to you, pop. pilsner and a smidge of munich, wheat, and light crystal dex 1.044 - 1.007 cluster and east kent goldings - 30 ibu decided to make it an ale...

haha droid so basically, all you know about that picturesque beauty is well...she's a beer :D

i just want to take time to thank the organisers and judges and stewards. you guys do a lot, and a great job, and it's really appreciated. keep up the good work and thank you!

looks awesome mate, and can't agree with you more. ordinary bitter is my favourite beer style. so much flavour and complexity and i can have multiple on school nights without feeling crap the next day. win win :)

i've never used super galena but i can tell you from experience that galena paired with galaxy makes for a great (and unique) fruity apa or ipa. passionfruit and blackcurrant rather than citrus. give it a crack if you have left overs :)

i've had it. tastes belgian but is just an...'eh' beer. i'll go back to my ipas also.

if you have the hops you'd be crazy not to dry hop :)

if you're keen on hop complexity for it, then i'd definitely add them. i love columbus as my bittering or first wort hop personally. simcoe, columbus, and centennial are an amazing combination also but i'm thinking ipa. if you dialed them down a bit though, they'd be amazing in a mid-strength apa.

i had a joke with him about it too (and munich) but the more i taste IPAs and brew a tonne myself, the more i tend to agree with pratty. or should i say, my taste buds do. the big west coast american ipas are where it's at.

face the strange bitter 86 maris otter 6 crystal 5 wheat 2 amber 1 roast barley 1.044 @ 66c pride of ringwood 60 willamette 5 35 ibu s-04 at 18c my kinda winter beer.

i'd go a big 20 min whirlpool addition of about 5 ibu, split the ibus down the middle between the two hops. lately i've been doing that with every american beer haha. a big flavour and aroma hit.

the beer just looked...terrible. these things make my head hurt.

agreed. so much fear-mongering and little basis in fact being a large part of campaigning of late.
