I see where you are coming from and can say I do feel the same. But, don't just think lager and imagine light-coloured and minimally flavoured beers. I am by no way a connoisseur of beers, but there are a few lagers that have changed my mind. Short list from my own tasting: Knappstein Reserve...

What was your boil like? How long and a rolling boil?

Good call. Many threads that aim at chasing a beer recipe end like this, whether it's a recipe that hasn't hit the spot or just forgetfulness. The only other big annoyance from this site is the still not updated recipe db. I have never posted a recipe on as yet, but you would think the biggest...

Sweet, have a WRDA clone recipe that uses grains that I can't get from the usual store so I will stock up from G&G now! Cheers!

My hoodie and shirt came today. Very nice and thanks a heap to the guys who organised this and did all the leg work! Muchly appreciated!

Good program to show an insight into brewing. Although the narrator mispronounced wort. It's wert!

Watching now...

My thoughts exactly. Haven't began fermenting the beer but the clarity and reduction in break material into the cube was noticeable. I have to say I was using a hop sock which helps minimize the extra trub in the wort. I am interested to see if the chill haze is gone without the use of polyclar...

Ahhh I didn't know they aged it in oak barrels. Thanks for bringing that up. :) I wish I could get a hold of the original and fresh BrewDog 5am Saint recipe!

I found this as well. Poured La Trappe Blonde and Dubbel into the same glass and pour head formation and retention. I just assumed it was the beer. :huh:

Just cubed an Aussie Lager. It's for the Aus Day cricket carnival where I will have about 30 blokes in the shed over the weekend. One keg with be this and the other either a DSGA or Tony's LCBA clone for good measure. Aus Day Mega Lager 85% Pilsner 10% Flaked Rice 5% Dextrose 25gm Cluster @...

I am looking forward to tasting notes down the track! :-) You have inspired me to start thinking about a choc porter with a slightly minty nose/taste. Perhaps some Fuggles hops late for a slighty mintiness and I am considering trying this Irish Mint Cream additive...

I agree. Very nice drop and unless I knew it was so strong I wouldn't have know. But not as in your face hoppiness as I was hoping for. A nicely crafted beer. I really cannot complain about a beer that hasn't be tested in small batches and is simply a one-off. Have another bottle in the fridge...

$70-$80 I would hazard a guess at. Unless your local has ordered in heaps I don't think they will be selling them by the case if they can help it.

So are Bribie and the other guys still just using the Brewbrite exclusively? I am thinking about picking up a jar from MHB to eliminate the use of Polyclar.

I am trying a 88%/12% Wey Pilsner and Flaked Rice lager with some cluster to what the mates reckon! I anticipate it to be rather bland but that's what I am actually aiming for!

I have to echo Spork's comments. I have a Crown Urn as well, the concealed element one. Mine keeps a nice boil rolling with no modifications to the cut-off. I would guess that perhaps the exposed element version would bring the liquid up to mash and boiling temps quicker but mine does the job...

Thank you very much for the feedback. What's interesting is how you picked it as a Stout. It's actually a Schwarzbier! It's based loosely on this one here from CBer. http://www.craftbrewer.com.au/brewing-pages.asp?NewsID=2 I have changed a couple of things, not exact grains or ratios, and also...
