    I guess I am Stuffed

    Well I thought I would close this out with a summary in the end it turned out at 6.3% a little too high for a lager ... but other than that really nice, and no real taste of the high ABV... It is only just of 2 weeks of lagering but surprisingly good

    I guess I am Stuffed

    ok I should add one fact given my limited knowledge of chemistry Enzymes are not destroyed when being used I added 1.5Kg of extra grain and will up the volume at the end and probably throw out.

    Sour beers

    great I was wondering the same I finally got around to tasting one of my sours, 22 months after I started it. Literally left untouched apart from topping up an airlkock every 6 months.

    NSW 2016 xmas case swap - tasting and recipes

    #9 robust porter .. I think from this swap. Had it tonight really nice, chocolate type flavour without the sweetness. Not bitter just a nice balance. Don't know the style but liked the beer, heavier than Porter but lighter then stout and no acrid tones..

    NSW 2016 xmas case swap - tasting and recipes

    1-Barls Cherry Wit. Took this away to Narooma on holidays with me... sadly something clearly went wrong with the bottle seal. I clearly packed it poorly and it opened in the esky.... so I can say the nose was good, especially when beer absorbed in a loaf of bread and packet of biscuits ...
