Gout
Bentleigh Brau Haus
ok so the time is coming.... the dreaded 30th. I dont want a fuss but i would like to have a home brew to share with some friends and maybe age some and have a few stubbies each year.
I was thinking of brewing a b-day ale. something like a coopers vintage ale,/ JS amber ale or the likes. I have not been able to brew much this year due to being busy and working on the brew stand (and being lazy)
Does anyone have any ideas on a nice b-day ale worth brewing. i will brew 60lt, 40lt in kegs and 20lt in bottles. The date to drink will be 31st Aug.
yeast will be coopers or US ale 2/1 or whitbread... some base malts and cara etc (but can buy anything needed for the brew) hops, por, cascade, tett, amarillo, goldings etc.... i can age it in the fridge until the drinking time comes.
Ideas?
I would like a strongish ale 5-8% thats a nice balance of malt and hops. something special
love to brew it next weekend as i know time is getting tight.
edit : all grain, temp controlled fermenter, kegging, plate chilled, HERMS system (if any of that matters)
