Little Creatures Next Single Batch

[O'Henry]

Well, I was pretty pumped to say the least. Thanks for the congrats guys!

I wouldn't want to put it in a category but if pushed I'd say it is between an Oatmeal and an American Stout; it is an American Stout on the very low end OG wise, with a healthy dose of oats.

And as for the 'overseeing', I sold/gave away all my brew gear when I moved to Perth and am yet to acquire more, so brewed it at a friends place (brendanos). Big thanks to Brendan for the use of his brewery, and the hb we drank that day and for bottling it for me while I was back East. It would not have happened without his help.

maybe it was more of a facilitator role,

as for next batch, better be a double sumfing

 

[Dazza_devil]

A good Ozzie Barleywine would be interesting.

You can probably strike out any style that isn't loaded to the hilt with hops like Kolsch, Alt, weizen, belgains, ect

Although I did hear of a new style of wheat beer with a pilsner like hopping schedule... Maybe LC will explore new territory with wheat and hops?

PS I would rent floor space at LC if they had a ~60IBU Dusseldorf Altbier on tap :icon_drool2:

 

[Pennywise]

Please don't go for a dull lager as the weather gets warmer!! B)

Unless it's a Kolsch!

Hefe, Hefe, Hefe

Hefe, Hefe, Hefe

[jbowers]

Please god not a hefe. Every microbrewery in Australia makes one.

 

[King Brown]

So how does the "overseeing" work This guy from LC is a novice or something?

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the staff comps at LC are between staff members who homebrew, not the actual LC brewers.

And just think how much better your beer would have been if the IBUs were helping you :icon_vomit:

Well done Ben, we are very proud of you. Just remember when you do well, you are a leading member of the IBUs. If you **** up, you are just another gibberer from Bowral! :drinks:

I'm hoping to try the Brown when I'm over in Perth later this week.

 

[kirem]

tried the brown tonight, a very good beer. I like it a lot

~drool~ Grab Jamils Dusseldorf Alt recipe, replace Magnum with Northern Brewer, bump up the bittering hops a notch and I'll be drinking keg loads of the stuff.

 

[pbrosnan]

How about a Dubbel or Tripel?

IPA? Double IPA? OK!!!

Yeah but how many of them are top quality candidates? I like to see em' give it a go, just so we know. I love a good Hefe, or even a Dunkelweizen, now that'd be awesome

 

[Pete2501]

I don't know why LC would make a hefe. Aren't their styles more American than anything? That's why I want to see a double IPA from them. Mind you the last IPA was a bit half way.

 

[O'Henry]

A good Ozzie Barleywine would be interesting.

Imagine this in pints. '5 standard drinks.' Classic. Would be a wicked beer though. Maybe they could do it and bring back the 12 pack of stubbies. Huge risk though, even 10,000L of a beer like that.

'drink half and you're an alcoholic in the eyes of the government' should be on the blurb on the bottle...

I think Red Hill and Moo Brew actually do a pretty good job with their hefe's. Either way I'd prefer to see them have a crack at a style that relates to their hop forward way of brewing, and also is something that is not readily available here from imports or local interpretations. Now a Hopfenweisse on the other hand.... :icon_drool2:

Although I haven't tried either I prefer the look of DrSmurto's Alt recipe. I based my partial on his recipe with Spalt for bittering at 60 and no other hop additions. I like the malt driven flavour of this style and interestingly I get a fair bit of aroma coming through from the bittering addition. Not enough hop usage for LC I'd say...

The hopfenweiss sounds interesting... Might have to give it a crack one day

+1 for a double IPA :beerbang:
