Stammtisch Challange

[Frank]

We judged 7 beers. BigH was hungover and got his entry in too late and missed the judging, so should have been 8.

Not sure if you are asking what an Ulster Fry is or not.
It is a full fried breakfast, smokey bacon, sausage, black pudding, mushrooms, beans, toasted soda bread and a pancake served in the provence of Ulster in Ireland.

Nothing like a good hit of bacon in a beer!

Rav I must try that beer...

now was mine infected (I'm thinking clove and other phenols), suffering from aceto, green apples or just plain bland? :lol:

what is the next challenge Goo?

Yes yours was acetic, I don't remember it having ropey slime and ethyl acetate that often comes with aceto but had plenty of vinegar in aroma and flavour, it would suggest you got too much air at some racking of the beer stage.

tasted last night def vinegar.

no air at transfer...had a hint of that aroma at the end of primary ferment but tasted good. first bottle tasted good, last nights...hmm. I am going into malt vinegar production now, or lambics. If its not Aceto is wild yeast.

I messaged Dan, but no response yet....

I assume we'll get a couple of months to brew again?

Most def. The next one is scheduled to be judged at the march case swap, and that is late march...

 

[Goofinder]

Yeah, I've been a bit slack with getting it up on here (and responding to PMs).

Given the amount of good summer ale type beers in the last swap I've decided to set the challenge along those lines. Probably just to a style, but not one of the BJCP styles. I'll try to finalise it tomorrow and post a new thread. That should give you plenty of time to be ready for the next swap in Autumn.
