Beavertown Neck Oil - recipe?

[droid]

Had the pleasure of sharing a can of this the other day. First thing that struck me was the colour - it was the colour of the Gose's I've been brewing which are 50/50 pils/wheat??

Wow! great tasting beer for a 4%

Anyone enjoyed this beer and brewed something similar?

I put a recipe together and couldn't find a suitable category for a while then it fell into American Wheat:

Is 20IBU too much for a 4% beer?

Thoughts?

Followed, love this style and this looks like a cracker.
Plus I need a break from those cooler weather 5% + beers. And tripping down the stairs.

Young Henry's Real Ale is 40 IBU in a 4% beer.....

I wonder if it could do with some oats

 

[malt junkie]

simple is usually best.

I'd assume you found these, but just in case:

From the Brewery, lists hops used and IBU's, as well as gives a major malt hint. On their other beers they get pretty specific on their malts, so I'd guess the sole malt listed is all they use. I know Simpson's has a new low colour malt, Concerto Low Colour, which is available in Oz, somewhere. They use a LOT of Best malts, and a few that appear to be English.

One clone recipe, said to be good.

No rye in there?

Magnum, Columbus, Centennial, Simcoe, Amarillo, Galaxy, Vic Secret, Mosaic

I have all these weirdly enough

I wouldn't have picked it to have that high IBU

Have you met this guy named Yob by chance?

they were on the BN's 'The Session' recently, and I'm pretty sure there were some discussions re recipe of each of their beers (cant remember, and cant be bothered re-listening )

Maybe a listen to that might add some info

@Madhu - he only sells shit by half a tonne

There's a fruit salad type beer in the fv at the moment with all of the above and a few more. I was getting passionfruit and banana from the Neck Oil but thought maybe go for the three most amazing smelling hops from the sniff test, conducted the day I brewed the fruit salad

zythos,simco and citra

can't bring myself to go over 30IBU with pils/wheat and a tinsy bit of carawheat

Led Zepplin's singer's kid makes some decent beer (though I'm sure he didnt have much trouble with start-up funding issues)
