NSW Mid Year Case Swap 2017 Recipe + Tasting

[contrarian]

Dig out number 1, barls Brett pale ale.

Off the top this is a cracking beer and right up my alley. Crystal clear. Delicate balance between malt, hops and funk. Couldn’t be happier to have another one of these stashed away.

Is the recipe in this thread? If not please post as this will be on my list of beers to brew this summer.

Thanks barls, looking for are to having a crack at this. Do you make a starter for Brett ferments?

Also found a bottle of number 10, Ian’s Stout. Carb was good on my bottle. Pitch black smooth, toasty, roasty and delicious. Made an excellent night capon Sunday night. Wish I had a bottle to put away for a few more months! Cheers mate.

Found a couple of these lying around so chucked them in the fridge last night. Had a second bottle of the Californian uncommon which was still bloody good and number 3, the aged Belgian Brett beer.

The Brett was incredibly prominent, upfront barnyard and horse blanket. Don’t think I’ve ever had Brett come through that strong but I’m also bad at aging beers so that could have something to do with it! What’s the secret? Very enjoyable beer so cheers.
