17. Brewmeister70's Kolsch Also glad this was a double batch. It really did taste boring out of the kettle but that Wyeast 2565 is like no other I've tried and really does make distinctly flavoured beer. Thanks for the feedback guys. Cheers, Brewmeister70 :icon_cheers:

Cheers for the review Neill! Really happy that you enjoyed it.

I know what you mean about the nutty finish and hard to describe yeast character Hutch. Purvis sell a kolsch that tastes quite good and I got one a long time ago at the Blue Cow Deli in Deer Park but no commercial joy apart from those two. The Purvis beer is here and they also have a Sunner...

The beers in the current swap have flipped me out with their quality, so there's no way I was going to miss out, even if it means logging in from home while under the weather... I'll be there Kleiny if it's a non-kid weekend. Cheers, Brewmeister70.

1. Kleiny - Munich Helles - as i'm hosting i will be there. 2. Maple - something - date dependent, will be there 3. Seemax - (A or E) IPA - attending 4. Barramundi - dunno- hopefully 5. Fourstar - dunno - maybe 6. Wardhog - Wobbly Hill House Ale - hell or high water I will be there. 7. CM2 - nfi...

My place of choice for glasses is op shops: I have given up on buying expesive crystat ones new because my better half or juniors manage to break them (Ok... I break my fair share too ;) ) They are rarely more than a couple of dollars each and I've got some really nice glasses. cheers...

Funny you should say that, Worthog... This reminded me of VB more than anything else (which is quite a compliment to Leigh, I think). Cheers, Brewmeister70 :icon_cheers:

I think warmbeer captured it well when he said it reminded him of the yeast character found in Coopers - it doesn't appeal to everyone for sure but at least you've now had the opportunity to try something that you may not have forked over five-dollars or so for an import that is of questionable...

#7.Rook's Stout OMG... How much toffee and toast did you manage to squeeze into this?! Deep brown colour, low head (off white) and low carbonation. Roast and toffee are there on the nose, almost like a caramel hard toffee in character. If there are any hops there late in the boil, their...

Ok... Home from work and time to drink some beer. #23. Shortz Robust Porter Deep-brown colour, medium carbonation, low off-white head. Has a very clean and slight chocolate malt-like nose but only low intensity. Can't discern any hop aroma and perhaps a slight banana ester if I really snort...

Good one Neonmeate. Please let us know how you get on with it. I've got a Bo Pils just at the secondary stage and am tied up cold-space wise for a while. Good luck with it! :icon_cheers:

I'm fully with you there, Brendo. Having a big brew in split fermenters has differences for sure but this one is sulphur-over-fruit esters for sure. I think it will need to be boiled for 90 minutes next time I make it, despite wanting to keep it pale and delicate. #16. Chris Taylor's Red...

I agree that they have their place in keeping temperature constant but do benefit from having a controller. My set up includes a couple of controllers. One controls the chest freezer and sometimes need to be set lower than the desired beer temperature when the brew hits high krausen but a...

10. Q's Mild Low head, low carbonation, beautiful reddish-brown colour. Very clear. Very nice nose of roasty rich malt but perhaps too intense for a mild. Has a distinct wet tobacco element that I really like, but not sure where this comes from. Nicely balanced with a roasty-mildly-bitter...

I used Wyeast 2565 in this and it was the most powdery yeast I've seen yet - Out of a seven-litre starter that I crash chilled, I wanted to pour off the wort on top but as soon as I tilted the fermenter, it was mostly back in solution! Learned the hard way that it would be agood idea to syphon...

I've just seen on the Craft Brewer web site that he is stacking a floor malted Bohemian Pilsener malt and was curious to know if anyone has had experience with it yet? I just bought a load of the regular Bohemian Pilsener malt of which the first pilsener is currently in the primary, but it...

Is it a stupid question to ask if anyone has ever tried heating them on an electric element stove top?? That's what I've got and am about to try using th Stot brand in 2 and 5L sizes for the first time and would love some feedback before buggering the flasks... Thanks guys.

I actually tried to KEEP as much sulphur in this as possible by fermenting cold and only boiling it for 70 minutes, for one, to keep it as pale as possible and two, to increase the DMS character from the pils malt, so it's good that it seems to have paid off. Cheers Mal! If yours goes well...
