    Vienna Smash

    I've done the same with all Wey Vienna and Hallertau at 60 and 10 with Bavarian Lager yeast. Closest commercial I could compare to was the Lowenbrau. Delicious!

    2016 - what was your beer of the year

    It's a toss up between this and the similar Panhead Johnny Octane. Both superb Red IPAs.

    NSW 2016 xmas case swap - tasting and recipes

    The other option I thought of was that I dry hopped mid-fermentation to get some bio-transformation action. Perhaps it's some by product of that?

    NSW 2016 xmas case swap - tasting and recipes

    Happy to answer any questions! Motueka was added in equal amounts at 60, 30 and 10 mins. I also lightly dry hopped with it along with the citrus peel and juice. Crystal was 4% caramunich, so more than a touch but not over the top. Regarding the flavour, if you tend to get it with lagers the...

    NSW 2016 xmas case swap - tasting and recipes

    Thanks for the feedback guys. The citrus was much stronger early on and much like an IPA it's faded during the Lager. Might have benefited from dry hopping/zesting again before bottling...next time. Fun fact, this was pitched with a passatta jar of yeast cake at 3c, rose to 22c(!) over the...

    Rye Malts - Who's Playing With Them Lately?

    Haven't used it myself, but I'm guessing it's similar to biscuit. You could probably just chuck it in the bock and back off the Carafa and Munich a little to compensate. Let us know how it goes!

    True Weizen vs Belgian yeasts for German phenolics

    I have done a Wit (hoegaarden clone) with 380, and it was pretty reasonable. But then 380 (hefe iv) when used to make a hefe, tasted a lot different to say 3638. But then again I've had 380 produce a banana bomb and a spicy one....so....dunno

    Single hop addition German lager

    I agree with that, 2206 is a real farty pants. When it was fermenting in a chest freezer I almost knocked myself opening it and sticking my head in to see how it was going.

    Single hop addition German lager

    Other option is to split your 60 into 60 and 30min additions. At 30 mins you'll still get some flavours come through but it will be well integrated with the malt flavours.

    NSW xmas case swap

    Last week of November good for me. Looks like we have 15 for the swap. Have a lager currently fermenting which should be ready by then, just need to check volume and swap numbers as I'll probably be bottling off the keg.
