Hey Martin, I'll see what I can do. The only other one I've made was with Cooper's extracts (and the herbs & spices of course) and it turned out very nice. Tomorrow's will be AG with Brooklyn hops, and the same h & s's, so it'll be a trial run for the swap. I've never used Brooklyn before, so at 17% AA I'll be quite cautious!

Yes, that does seem very high in aa%, but used in moderation itll work I'm sure. My next Julebryg will use Polish Marynka, which gives a slight aniseed tang that i reckon it's necessary.

What herbs/spices will you use?

 

[evoo4u]

What herbs/spices will you use?

There are a few ideas here: http://byo.com/malt/item/1928-brewing-with-spices-techniques but for this one, Star anise, vanilla pod, cinnamon sticks, & coriander seeds.

[bradsbrew]

37 swappers so far. Everyone does know this is in Toowoomba a week before Christmas?

 

[Zorco]

I'll be sleeping in my ute! Can't wait

(And preparing my reach around mitigation strategies)

 

[evoo4u]

37 swappers so far. Everyone does know this is in Toowoomba a week before Christmas?

Well, near Toowoomba. 150km from Brisbane on scenic country roads. Heck, some of them are even sealed!!!

Think of the high-country triangle - we're between Toowoomba, Crows Nest and Esk.

 

[Reedy]

Yep, and still keen as mustard to attend my first case swap & meet some brewers

Yeah, i know where Ravensbourne is. Grew up in T double O W double O MBA

 

[seehuusen]

2h10m away for me on the sunny coast, so about the same as going to brisbane on a weekday, but better scenery #winning

 

[Bribie G]

This time I can combine it with a visit to Bribie Island.
