Babbs Mini Comps - Who's Going To Compete?

[winkle]

:lol:

Shhhh don't jinx me Winkle! I can do that myself. As I have been doing most of today, big noting myself and generally stirring everyone up. Lucky I like the taste of humble pie.

7 brews in a row now without infection (touch wood) so I think I have it's little arse kicked for the moment.

Chap Chap

Sorry mate.
Probably just jinxed myself :unsure: .

 

[chappo1970]

No worries Winkle I took in good jest as it was meant . Mind you thou it's un-Australian not to haze the competition and considering brewing is a solo effort I say EVERYONE is fair game!

I'm going to make a beer. I hope it's nice. I might put some hops in it. I don't have a photo because I haven't brewed it yet.

BUT IT'S GOING TO KICK YOUR ARSE!!

Can I suggest maybe some Chinese hops might help with your beer there Snow? I hear they are of great quality but you need to be an exceptional brewer to use them properly :lol: .

I had a Kilkenny on tap at the Kallangur RSL a few weeks ago and was totally underwhelmed, some malt presence but hardly any hop, which is why I'm looking to do a Supa version.
I've ordered Wyeast Irish Ale 1084, Halcyon Malt and planning to use a medium dosage of Admiral hops (like Target but not as fierce) and some EKG. For the "redness" I'm planning to use Carared, but also have plucked up the courage to finally use Caraaroma (250 Caraaroma, 200 Carared ????)

 

[chappo1970]

I must admit the last KK i had left me wanting.

 

[chappo1970]

Ok re-brewing the ESB as it is good but I can do better! Much better!

I have a certain Gordie to skin

I think Chappo wants you to brew an Aussie Sparkling Ale

ESB Mk2 was brewed yesterday. Nice aroma and very clear wort. Will be using 1882 on this one so I'll be keen to see what this will bring to the beer.

My suggestion to all you wannabe's is brew an Aussie Pale . This one's gunna be hard to beat!

Chap Chap

 

[winkle]

Meh, anybody can brew an ESB - Best bitter is where the action is.

 

[The Scientist]

Well Ladies I suggest you may as well brew a Pale for the comp as the Bitter is all but in the bag . Complex malt profile, balanced loooong bittering, Styians hopping out at you, caramels with hints of mollasses and a nice tight compacted head that lasts all the way to the bottom of the glass... Oh did I mention how bright it presents in the glass?

This should stir 'em up.

Cheers

Chap Chap

Just looking at the BJCP for the style and it says "Drinkability is a critical component of the style" and knowing you guys are brewing Bitters I just don't think I can stomach putting somthing you've touched in my mouth :lol:

The Aussie ales have this one in the bag. Oh and you won't be able to see Chappo or anyone else through my beer, one of the benifits of Pale Ale

This is shaping up to be a good mini comp, good to see some healthy rivalry in BABBs. Its what we need to bring our club upto a competative level so we can bring home the gongs in this years AABC.

Cheers,

We ARE going to kick arse this year guys! Seriously we are! Mini Comps, QABC and the AABC. And if we need this to spark it off I don't see the problem. Agree good healthy rivalry within our club is vital.

Besides you can barely brew TS so I'm not worried
