AHB Articles: Vic X-mas In July 2010 Case Swap

[andycostin]

Well, trial batch of Kolsch has been made, and the consensus is that it's a winner, a little fine tuning and a fresh brew will be knocked out in mid May, enough time for bottle conditioning but still close enough for a fresh brew.

Thats the plan for me too. "little Sister" shall be brewed and if all things are as expected i'll be a happy little vegemite. For fun i might even put it down on 1968.

Test batch being bottled this weekend, and backup brew will be brewed also. Hydro samples of the test taste good

 

[Kleiny]

Brewed bottled tasting great and now just to let it mature and carb until the swap.

I got a good 3/4 keg in the fridge too so have to get some of the real Rogue dead guy to see whether it is similar.

What to brew? I've gone AG now, and I'll never go back, although I would consider a partial mash if I need to brew inside, or to save time on a full wort boil.

I'm probably going to brew an APA next, based on a recipe of fourstars, but I'm not sure if I wanna bring an APA to the swap, as a few people already seem to be brewing them.

An english brown or bitter might be something I'd like to have a go at. I've had a few ESB's lately and I've enjoyed them. I'd consider maybe having a go at one of them... any advice guys? I know alot of it is personal preference, but I'd like to bring something a little bit different to what everyone else is bringing, but still do it reasonably well.

I'll really brew anything, if I know its going to be enjoyed by others. What about a golden ale? I put one down on Friday, so I can see if that is any good and make changes for the next batch to bring to the swap... maybe?

Coming to the MB meeting tonight? i'll have some Mountain Goat IPA clone to try!

Just looking at the list and I reckon there seems to be quite a nice variety happening. Everything from bo pils to oatmeal stout to steam beer to porter to ESB to brown and amber as well as the APAs.

Looking forward to it.

Siborg I reckon you can get away with anything so long as it represents your best effort.

Yeah, coming tonight. Maybe I can get a few ideas tonight.

I'm going to do a double batch of English Brown with ringwood ale yeast this weekend now that I am finally out of the woods work wise.

Either way planning on attending the swap day.

St kilda had a great lineup lastyear and failed! Oh SNAP! :lol:

St kilda had a great lineup lastyear and failed!

St Kilda is a club that won a grand final with a kick """"" off the side of the boot"""" to win the "66" Grand Final. Since that time they have continued to steal money from unsuspecting supportors.
Go Cats! With premierships in the kitty!
On a good note, Good onya Chris T, the swap will be better for your participation.

got 40 ltrs of my ausmerican (yarrasippi) pale ale fermenting, bought some new pets, used new yeast so hopefully it all goes well. It has a good 6 weeks in the bottle so should be ready to drink and clearish by then.

 

[Supra-Jim]

Test batch was put down on Friday morning, fermenting nicely atm.

(31 hop additions, can anyone guess what i was brewing?)

Cheers SJ

 

[Siborg]

You need a hand with test drinking and quality control, Jim? I'll gladly help you drink it!

 

[Supra-Jim]

We'll see, I still have a few more hop additions try and squeeze in there!

Cheers SJ

Yep, had a crack a 60min IPA (additions every 2mins). Fingers crossed it doesn't end up lambic!!!!

Death by hops.... nice.

 

[Supra-Jim]

It definitely makes for one very busy brew day. Weighing out all the additions and then keeping an eye on the clock.

Fingers crossed it tastes good!!!!

Cheers SJ

I bottled that last week so it should be very drinkable buy he case swap, I have a couple of "trials" so I can ensure it tastes OK.
