Nickb's Nanango Brew Day - 19th June

[praxis178]

That's cool, I have the Munich and Pale Choc, so we can use those. If you could bring the 7.5kg BB Ale, I'll cover the other grains and the hops? We can use my mill if you like

Don't worry about the yeast for me, I've got a couple of strains here, will most likely go the Ringwood I think!

Oh, Pete, do you have any vials of yeast you'd like to swap?

Cheers

Cool, I'll weigh out and bag up the grain today and get the car packed.

I mostly have German/Belgian strains left atm, only the one vial of TV2 that I can find, I guess it's time to buy some more smack packs.....

 

[NickB]

Can swap yeasts with you too Thomas if you like? Do you have vials/slants or just smack packs?

What strains do you have?

Cheers

Are the ones where I have more than one vial left of, so not much to work with, but now that I have some more vials on the way and my four new kegs arrived this morning (7am FFS and on a public holiday too) I have an excuse to buy more yeast and get some more brews a happening!

Too bad the downey/snaplok posts I ordered from CB for my font project don't fit the female snaplok fittings on the font. I guess life just wasn't meant to be easy.

No probs there, I'll bring some along then, the Irish ale would be at the top of my wish list as I love stouts.....

Righto of to weigh up some grain.

 

[NickB]

Cool, sounds good!

Had a taste of the Smoked Porter tonight, well I couldn't go serving it untested could I, and man is it good; smooth malt, slightly oily phenolic mid pallet with nice hop flavors I'd like to say citrus but I'm not really good at tasting citrus, and a nicely balanced bitterness to round it out. The second sip is the one that gets you hooked.....

 

[NickB]

Good to hear! I'm not very happy with any of my dark beers on tap at the moment, so having a good one around will be...ummm....good!

The Lite Rice Lager however is tasting pretty good, considering it was only kegged on Monday!

Cheers

Hmmm this one is only 11days in keg, but already I'm thinking I got to make it again, asap!

Hope she's an empty keg when I go home, I need the space, have a party in a week or so and I need to make a mild for the drivers to pretend to drink, might have to steal your lite recipe. h34r:

Kegged my ale for this today !

[TidalPete]

Am I the only one going who conditions his beers????? <_<

[NickB]

Probably.......Takes you a month to clean the fermenter and finally pour yourself a beer... h34r:

Wellllll, I do like to give my lagers a few days 'o rest before tapping the keg. Does that count?

 

[cdbrown]

Have a good brew day tomorrow. Take lots of photos (incriminating would be best)
