Are You Brewing A Special Beer For The Festive Season

[Pumpy]

Inspired by Bugman's Weizen I think that would be a nice beer for the hot weather

And serve it with a fresh mango juice

'Mango Weizen' the ladies will love that .

have bottled Ben's Chrismoose ale. unfortunately I brewed late so it wont be drinkable in the festive season. I'll try again for next xmas. although the missus wont be pregnant next xmas (she has been past 2 xmas'). so mayeb a fruit wheat beer might tempt her. She loves Strawberries, so I might be stealing another reciepe off you Ben.

I've got lager conditioning at the moment which is ready to tap xmas day but I also plan to hopefully have a wheat beer and Dubbel ready.

As long as you refer to it as bconnery's Chrismoose ale , or bconnery's Strawbeery
My AG recipes are still coming along so I figure some of my extract beers which have been done a few times now are my best chance of having a beer achieve AHB naming status in the line of Ross's NS summer ale etc.

The new strawbeery is AG so if you want either of the extract versions, if I haven't sent them to you at some point already, PM me...

Just put down a Belgian Bastogne Pale Ale - Light, spritzy, malty, zesty and just a little funky - perfect with the X-mas prawns!

No

No easy drinkin wheat beers happening this year on the coast.

I bought some tinned cherries on sale at the $upermarket a few wks ago and brewed Jamil Zainashef's Black Forest Cake Stout (May07 Specialty Beer show archive) on the w/e.

Is basically a Foreign (Export) Stout (7% ABV) with 250g cocoa in the boil and 2kg cherries in the secondary. Went with some oatmeal also just for the heck of it and WY1028 yeast.
That cocoa is fiddley stuff to work with though. Formed a thick sludge in the bottom of the kettle after whirlpooling and slowed my chiller output down to barely a trickle. Took a good 1/2hr to drain out but got there in the end.
Will rack onto the cherries in the next few days - as soon as the dark brown krausen starts to subside.

Cheers

[Jye]

... any particular reason for that yeast

Mainly because I had some kicking around, ended up fermenting at 16C.
