Brewer's Notes

I made this beer to expand on my love of the aussie beer. Not the mega swill crap, but the micro brewed beers that are different to anything else from around the globe. I wanted a dry smooth, spicy ale with a plesant hop character that was not in your face, but made you go....Mmmmm.
This beer is fantastic. Came out better than i expected. Its smooth, dry, refreshing and hoppy but creamy..... almost fluffy at the same time.
It is way to easy to drink. One of the best beers i have brewed!

I highly recomend this beer!

I have posted a lot of recipes that are good but this is a simple but wonderful beer.

The B SAAZ and Hallertau aroma flowers work sooooooooooooooo well together. An awsome combo!

The beer is light and refreshing but has enough character that you can siff it and enjoy drinking it. and its smooth! the hop flowers always seem to give the beer a silky feel in the mouth.

Ballance is awsome!

Oh..... i Used US-05.

mm, seems like an interesting recipe Tony. Mash schedule?

 

[Tony]

OPEN YOUR EYES, MAN!!

Looks like a tasty brew.
I'm setting up a all grain system here and will try this for my first batch.

It's summer here in Japan so it looks refreshing!

I've set up a separate mash and lauter tun system and want to know what you guys think is a good liquor to grist ratio for this mash? I'll sparge
the remainder of the water and/or make it up in the whirlpool.
Thanks,
Adam

OPEN YOUR EYES, MAN!!

Who was the ******* who gave it 1 out of 5 stars?

 

[dj1984]

lol i was the second one... whoops went too look and clicked on the star and it said i have voted.

Edit: how do i change it???

 

[drsmurto]

You can change your vote at any time...

 

[Tony]

:lol: i just put the recipe up last night and it has 3 votes and 2 stars.

not bad so far

I dont give a rats for the star ratings........... its a good beer!

I have brewed hundreds of AG beers and the combo of the B Saaz and hallertau aroma is just breathtaking.

If you have made my LCBA clone, this has abouot the same level of hoppiness to it...... just different hops.

THis keg is not going to last long.

cheers

 

[Tony]

Who was the ******* who gave it 1 out of 5 stars?

i can think of a few that would!

 

[drsmurto]

I'm not a fan of wheats so i didnt actually pay much attention to the recipe. (its the wheat yeasts that dont do it for me)

Now that you have compared it to your LCBA recipe i went back and read it and am interested.

To me it looks like a wheaty APA/NZPA. How could it be bad? :super:

Need to grab some B Saaz for the AMB single hop challenge so this looks like a good use of the remaining B Saaz.

 

[buttersd70]

hmmm.......not to "style"(we all know how I love my styles h34r: ), but what would Ardennes bring to the party?
