Christmas Lotto 2012

[Cocko]

Thirsty, and it was one of the only chilled lotto beers I had. Recipe? As if I can ever get my hands on Simcoe again.

All good mate, hope you got through it..... :icon_cheers:

 

[geneabovill]

I did. I didn't say it was bad...

 

[Cocko]

Both comments meant in good fun mate....

Seriously, I appreciate the feedback and thank you for taking the time!

Enjoy the rest - they must be taking over the house! Chill that **** - and drink!

:icon_cheers:

Here's mine, I'm going to invite a couple of the local brewers around for a beer, and sit down and sample them. But I was hoping to have nearly all of them by now, being a Christmas Lotto; but a third are still not yet to arrive. Maybe I should pull my finger out get it happening with what's here.

Bottles sitting at 18c in the spare fermenting fridge.

QLDKev, I'm suprised the ones in the padded bags actually arrived intact!

Even if you write "FRAGILE" all over it, I could see some Auspost workers treating that as a challenge accepted.

A few rugby captains in the delivery centers. :lol: I've sent plastic bottles in the plastic bags wrapped in a bit of bubble wrap a few times, touch wood so far all good. I don't think I would drop a glass bottle in one.

FRAGILE: another way of saying throw me

Okeydokey, surely it's about time the winners posted some tasting notes.
I know not all of us are BJCP qualified, but at least a "pretty nice with a 6 nugget happy meal" comment would be appreciated.

Or even "tasted crap with the recipe I tried to replicate off last year's My Kitchen Rules by that ****".

Indeed, my beers have 'feedback appreciated' for a reason :beerbang: :beerbang:

 

[bruce86]

Brew arrived Stagwa yesterday!!

Good to hear, I hope it’s still OK after all the “transit” time. I hope you enjoy it.

 

[stakka82]

Hey kev, how's the drinking? Feedback?

 

[QldKev]

I've been a bit busy on the weekends to organise a tasting session, but it's happening Sun 27th. There will be at least one experienced judge present. We will be offering feedback for all beers, but keeping it fun the official judging sheets wont be used, just general comments from the table will be recorded. Looking forward to sampling some great beers from around Australia.

Terrible sorry fellas. I was planning on sending a Saison but it was infected. Backup plan was an English Bitter and it too was infected. Gotta get a few things sorted out in the brewhouse before I brew again.

So I will have to see if there's anything worthwhile in my stores. Sit tight, if worse comes to worst, I will send a bottle of Imperial Stout each that I've been saving for special occasions.

Not sure if everyone is aware of the weather we are having up here, but over the last few days we've been averaging over 100mm of rain every day and it's forecasted for another 100mm today, and then another 100mm for tomorrow. Tomorrow's beer sampling day has been postponed Don't worry all my brew gear is high and dry. The sampling day will be rescheduled in the near future.

QldKev I see the news today that a state of emergency has been declared, and parts of Bundy are being evacuated? I'm sure everyone here at AHB will be crossing their fingers that everything's ok for you and your family, let alone your precious lotto beers!

You're a highly valued member of this forum, and I'll be more than happy to kick off a "get QldKev back up and running" fund if anything happens to your brew gear. Be safe mate.

 

[_HOME_BREW_WALLACE_]

have you guys got my beers yet?

EDIT: SWMBO just informed me that she left the parcels in the back of her mums car..... :unsure: will shoot them off on tuesday when i get them back.

 

[petesbrew]

It's quiet here.

 

[QldKev]

I was going to save all feedback to the end and message them to the members, but we've just finished a glass of one members beer and I'm having a beergasm.

Kieren's 3.1% Brown Ale aged on Oak

43
3.1% Brown Ale aged on Oak
Pours a large tan to light brown head, that is retained to the bottom of the glass
Good glass lacing
Excellent color, no haze evident
Extreme hop presence on the nose
Drinking it there is a big complex nutty caramel and burnt malty backbone with a good hop presence that balances nicely, and leaves a sweet residue on the lips.
You could tell me this was twice the alc % and I would believe you
We didn't get much oak coming through from bhind the bitterness
This is an awesome beer, I wish I could match the quality

QldKev

 

[Kieren]

Thanks for the very kind words Kev.

I didn't want too much oak coming through as I find it can take away too much from the hops. So it was only on the oak for the length of the dry hopping ~5 days I think.

 

[BPH87]

Wallace have you picked up my beers from Craft Brewer? I left them their 2 months ago and they were still in the fridge two weeks ago?

Geneabovill did yours arrive??

 

[barls]

It's quiet here.

second that how about some feed back boys?????
