If you like German beer and food try the Munich Beirhaus at South Wharf. You could go to the Belgian Beer Café at Southbank, walk along the Yarra for about 10 mins and then have a Dunkel at the Munich Beirhaus. Very nice on a sunny day.

Brakspear Triple. 6.7%ABV Crystal, black and Pale malts. Goldings, Styrian and Cascade Hops. On the bottle it says that it has Cascade added during fermentation but the aroma is all about malt. Has a lovely malty, dry finish. Would happily drink another one.

ESB Floor malted Maris Otter Simpsons Medium Dingeman Biscuit EKG, Northdown, Challenger and Target. About 40 IBU's. 5.6% ABV Very nice and smooth.

Good album, but not as good as "Let There Be Rock".

So when are you bringing some samples around?

Alistair looks like he has joined the hipster brigade with that beard. Good story.

Kegs, Ringwood way. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/ringwood-east/miscellaneous-goods/home-brew-aeb-beers-kegs/1068974223

When I take a pre boil sample to check the gravity, I give the kettle a bit of a stir. I have found that during sparging there appears to be stratification or layers of different gravity and temperature throughout the kettle. I found if I give the kettle a stir it mixes up the layers and I get a...

You're such a sweety Dave.

Me too. And I tow a caravan.

Sam Smiths "Yorkshire Stingo". 8% ABV, aged in oak casks and matured for over a year. Has a very rich toffee, rummy taste. The alcohol stands out. Aroma smells of malt and alcohol. Very nice, but at twice the price of Sam Smiths Old Brewery Pale Ale, I think I would prefer two bottles of the...

Sounds good, what other beers to they have on tap? Will have a look next time I'm passing through.

Wouldn't mind a pint of that.

Drinking slcmorro's Dark IPA on a wheat yeast, one of the beers in a Ballarat swap we had a couple of weeks ago. Very refreshing.

Had the Bantam on tap at Beer Deluxe a couple of weeks ago. Really enjoyed it and there was definitely no onions or garlic in the aroma or flavour. Would happily drink it again.

Quite right, the post doesn't state that I've had plenty of stouts. It states that this is the first American stout that I have brewed or drank. No, I'm not planning to go Nitro.

Reread the post Pratty1. I've had plenty of stouts but never an American Stout.

That photo was the right way up when I posted it. ****** if I know.

American Stout. Never brewed one or drank one before today. Even though its bittered to 70 IBU's its sweet in the mid pallate and then finishes bitter. Could probably do with a bit more roast. Nice mouth feel. The recipe came from "Brewing Classic Styles". Also it's the first time I have used my...

I measured out the volume in my kettle in two litre increments then engraved the markings on the inside of the kettle. No need for my measuring stick anymore. Got the idea from Wolfy who used to post here.
