turned out nasty. going to bottle it and leave for 6 months, see what happens.

 

[winkle]

I reserved some wort a while back with the idea of using it for a starter. Forgot about it until a week ago and, naturally its picked up a wild yeast. I started to chuck it, then had a sniff - hmmm, might have to do a small batch on that stuff :unsure:

Just bottled, hopefully my notes in list are self explanatory. If you get a underliined 4 , yours has had addition of cold steeped coffee at end of primary. If it has just a 4 as is, yours had straight coffee beans added for 18 hour soak prior to bottling. Both tasted nice when sampled at bottling, the cold steeped batch just a tad sweeter which was surprising as the beans used had a lovely sweet soft chocolate aroma in the bag. .

Wrecking ball is chilling at the moment, so it'll be as fresh as a daisy for Saturday. Well, as fresh as 700g of Columbus, Simcoe, Amarillo, Riwaka, Centennial and Warrior hops in a 20L batch of beer can be anyway.

Got half of it out of the fermenter up the wall over the sink and on the floor. Place smells Purdy now.

 

[lukiferj]

YES!!!

 

[winkle]

Beats smelling like bleach.

 

[madpierre06]

That Coffee stout sounds pretty darn good madpierre - you still turning up at 5pm?

Nah mate, that was Meno turning up at 5. I have to start work at 5, so I will turn up about a qtr. to 2, say g'day, drop my beers off, do the keg deal with Earle, have a couple beers, and toddle off. If anyone is still going at 3pm on Sunday, I finish work at 2pm so can drop through :lol: I'll be dropping off a few Wild Ryed Saisons courtesy of our good friend meno as well, I have a coupl;e left of a batch he generously donated to yours truly so figured it'd be worth sharing 'em.
