arrrrghh, should have brewed a saison to fit in with the cool kids. I'll be the only one with a wit. Man, I am always out of the loop....

I already know what I'll be brewing for the July case swap.

Also confirmed my younger bro is going to come. He's not a brewer but is thinking about starting. he he, sucker.... We'll pull into Brisbane Brewhouse on the way so I can drain his wallet for some commercials to bring.

That's just evil, allowing a family member to start brewing, there goes any hope of him ever having any money to spare.

hahaha, funny comment
I personally think a wit is a very nice beer in the summer, my favorite being Hoegaarden...
In fact, I've made up my mind, after I've brewed all the beers I need for the Chrissy period, I'm gonna brew up a clone of that! YUM

 

[angus_grant]

First time I've brewed a wit, hence the Sarcastic Wit name. It could indeed end up being the lowest form of wit..

Pitched my Forbidden Fruits starter last night. Not getting much aroma of lemon and lime from the wort, so will see about dry-hopping some lemon and lime towards end of ferment if necessary.

Thinking about adding some medium dark candi syrup as the gravity is down by 6 points, and I thought it might add some interesting flavour and aroma. Getting further away from what a wit is by standards, but that doesn't bother me..

 

[Donske]

If you need lemon I'd give Sorachi Ace a whirl mate, it's not my favourite hop but it certainly brings the lemon in truck loads.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

so can Wai-iti

BenKen 25,
Noice choice for a Saison, been looking at adding some smoke to my Dark Winter Saison, cant wait to try yours :icon_drool2:

Angus, I'll be bringing along my Lost Abbey Witches Wit clone to drink.. you wont be the only half wit at the Swap. h34r:

 

[angus_grant]

Hope I'm not out-witted.

Should have a bunch of bottles left over considering my brew was 26L and there are only 21 swappers now. Not sure if they will be carb'd by the swap though.

 

[Parks]

Pretty happy with how my Motueka Lager is going down. I find the hop flavour and aroma very much like Nelsen Sauvin - strong white grape. I haven't really liked it that much in the past but I think this one might be a winner.

It will be a great lawnmower summer beer and at 6% you'll want to make sure you've finished the mowing before drinking

That's why John Deere's have glass holders.

 

[seehuusen]

HAHAHA damn walking mower, happy most of my lawn is cooch, or however that's spelled. It means it still looks ok unclipped (i do prefer it trimmed though)

 

[Aydos]

I'm not 100% sure I'll be in it this time, I'm still yet to ferment any beer. Hopefully I'll get one going on Saturday with any luck

 

[menoetes]

Aaaah the possible wit-icisms are endless

I just tried my Galaxy Blonde, it turned out well if cloudy. Bloody Coopers Commercial yeast; I love the flavor it lends the beer but that sucker just won't drop out of suspension!

 

[angus_grant]

Come on aydos. "You can do it"

Might be nice to have a bottle in the swap that needs a couple of weeks to carb and mature. Might last till Xmas.

I can't wait to get into the swap beers. Last lot were all very good.

Again, I am starting to worry about how mine is going to turn out. Even more worries this time given the quality level of beers in the last swap.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

I'll be doing something last minute. keg, force carb, bottle form CPBF.

 

[winkle]

You guys look like getting my UXB Belgo Pale, I'm undecided as to bottle condition or CPBF, probably unfiltered. Depends on how its shaping up at end of ferment I guess.
