Qld Xmas case Swap 2014- 6 Dec

[hwall95]

I'm just planning to leave it there, as in 2 weeks time I'll be busy with end of semester uni ****, so thought I may of just leave it to clean up and condition for a month and bit.

Safe to say my saison will be a bit nicer with a OG of only 1.050.. I'll try to remember to bring a few strong old ales that I've had bottle conditioning since March (A yet to taste due to promise I made earlier in the year...) and I would bring some of my current IPA along but there only 15 bottles left so I have feeling my mates might make it disappear pretty fast :unsure:

Hopefully have a few other types to share around by then though :chug:

 

[seehuusen]

it'd be interesting to try a few different Saisons, especially with differing yeasts.

I bottled an IPA a few weeks back, and it was massacred a couple of nights ago, with the remainder being dragged camping this weekend
I should probably make another one before the meet. I'm trying to smash out as many brews as I can, in preparation for the mad Chrissy season with all the family turning up

 

[seehuusen]

My saisons ferment out in 4-5 days. Are you guys just leaving it in the fermentor or is your ferment taking that long?

I'm doing it because I'm away for a bit of this month, plus I was under the impression that it was the norm with Saison style beer to let them mature on the yeast for longer, and thus reach an even higher attenuation?

I think the speed it finishes is dependent on which yeast you use as well.
Apparently the Belle Saison is a lot quicker than the Wyeast 3724

Hey fellas, I am regrettably going to have to pull out of this...

Just got engaged and we're having the engagement party at home in early December, so I'm pretty much going to have to use all my brewing time brewing for the party...

BJCP (if you care about that sort of thing) has saisons ranging from 1048 to 1065 so still within style. Grain and hops certainly aren't in style: all BB Ale + bunch of galaxy and C hops, baby.

American Pale Saison?

Should end up around 6.8%. So a nice sessionable saison.. h34r:

 

[Liam_snorkel]

Sounds like a good summer smasher. The beer that smashes you.

Looks like these guys got cut off the list by Tazman1967 *shakes fist*:

20.Aydos - wouldn't have a bloody clue yet
21. HBHB - absolutely NFI
22. Ballantyne Brew - malty liquid

so, the list should be something like the following. Please check if your name is on there and that you copy the correct list if you add/change anything....

I was just thinking that too, I could have sworn I had put my name in lol

 

[menoetes]

Hey Guys,

Slight problem; I was bottling my swap-brew today and it only came to 21 bottles, a somewhat smaller batch than expected - does anyone have an issue with me making up the total from another brew?

 

[Liam_snorkel]

nah it'll be fine.

 

[lukiferj]

Should think about brewing something for this soon.

I'll see how a Mulberry Saison recipe I designed works out (brewing today or tomorrow). If its pretty darn good (and it should be) then another batch of the same could be the one I'll go with.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

I'm hoping the Not For Horses bulk buy comes through with enough time to brew a smash with it for this

Low alcohol wheat beer with goji berries from you mate?

I'm liking this Saison influx, it'll be great to compare a few different ones :icon_drool2:

Just threw the Saison in the fridge to ready it for cold crashing.
I dry hopped it with just about a gram/ liter of Summer hops, should add a nice little touch to it.
Will bottle on Saturday if all goes to plan It tasted delicious already, and I'm happy I brewed up a double batch :icon_drool2:

Should get mine into a fermentor soon I spose, brewed the thing a month ago and drinking the first cube now, its a cracking little session beer, perfect for summer.
