[kabooby]

You have put most of it down your throat .

My Dark Ale has been in the bottle for 2 months already. Actually attempting to age at least 1 batch of beer before i cark it. It is alot harder than I thought as it is pretty nice. 2 cans plus some crystal and chocolate... pretty much how i want my dark ale. I am looking forward to getting some feedback though. See you all soon.

Well I got bad news, I got caught up with work over last month or so and completely forgot about my munich dunkel, just went to bottle it than (after 6 weeks in primary) and noticed this on top;

Didn't smell to great either, spicy and tangy. Either way I'll be bringing along a partial stout I did a while ago. Even though my method has changed alot since than, advice should still be really helpful, and of course another chance to meet people.

Hope you're all having better luck, Dave.

Ps, no idea if the image is going to work, as I'm completely incompetent in front of a computer.

Bottled the Nelson Sauvin Ale yesterday. Think it came out alright, might have overdone it on the IBUs . I guess we'll all find out!

 

[Linz]

Oopps ...forgot to mention that this has been pushed back a bit(a few weeks) as a fair few of us on that list have been slack on the brew front...but we'll discuss it at the 3rd Birthday bash..dont forget to login to the Yahoo page and vote for the date that best suits you to meet at the George in Picton...

 

[kabooby]

Well I am going to tip my ESB this weekend that is already bottled and ready for the swap. I am just not happy with the finished beer, possibly down to an unhealthy yeast.

I will put a beer in the fermenter this weekend so it will be ready. Either a Porter, English Summer ale or a Dry Stout

Kabooby

hi everyone
all depends on what date it is i should be able to come but i do shift work
i have a Blackrock Stout that i bottled end of August last year and tucked it away in a nice dark place
it was made with 1kg Dark Liquid Malt and 1kg dextrose and the yeast that came with the tin
had a problem with the caps and it went flat but i am in the process of re-carbonating as it still tasted good but that is my opinion)
let me know what day/night it is as i am keen
