A quick and dirty on Mr. Malty reckons around 200mls. May as well dump the lot. Mine'll be going in tonight.

Firing on all cylinders this morning on around 2 inches of krau @ around 11 deg.

So how is the Schwarz kids???

Mine went to keg after ~ 2 weeks of CC. I like it. Big hit of Saaz on the aroma and flavour with some caramel sweetness from the Munich and coffee roast. Colour is spot on. Maybe a little heavy on the roast on the palate but not off puting in anyway. Still a little green but no doubt will settle. I had a beer novice try it last night and he came back for another...... always a good sign.

Pitched mine yesterday arvo. have to wait a while before I can report back ;-)

Gav - your cube is being cleaned as i type. i found a cube of the czech dark we did a while back, so I'm going to dump it on the yeast cake when the schwartz is done. Should be an interesting comparison.

I've just started drinking mine. It's certainly a bit green right now. The malt flavours are good but the hops are a bit rough at the moment, though the whack of Saaz aroma is pretty nice as well. Have to see how it smooths with some time in the keg. B)

Geez, > than 1 year is it???? Be interesting to see what it's like. Been thinking what the effects are of leaving various types of worts "maturing" for a while prior to fermentation.

good to hear you guys are over dosing on saaz it's the best way to go.
