I wonder if redoak have been notified of their 'issue'.

I force fed a mate a little bit of something of theirs, a bottle I knew to be infected due to the fact I'd bought 2, purely because he was going to Sydney, and more importantly Redoak, a few days later. After bringing the issue up with Janet (I think) the response was something like a shrug of the shoulders and "We're not responsible for how our beer is stored once it leaves our premises". FWIW, this beer was so badly infected it was spat onto the lawn and tipped out. Undrinkable. Makes you wonder if they have an idea of whats going on.

The issue Red Oak have is not in the storing and/or shipping, it is in their network, unless of course they out source their bottling... What a home that they don't take feedback from their customers. This label has just been black-listed from my list until they get responsible management in place.

Exactly. Anyway, I hope to brew Tony's New Age Aussie Wheat this weekend if time permits.

I brewed up the lcba just a few days ago, that was the first time I have used b saaz...if it turns out nice I will do an all munich and amarillo + bsaaz combo (or maybe a bsaaz and munich smash), as well as the new age wheat...

Cheers

Great pilsner hop in my book. I've loved the ones I've made with it.

Not B-Saaz related but with regards to the topic...

I sure as hell hope somone from redoak trolls this forum. Maybe then they will realise their 'craft' aint so 'crafty'. Unless of course they are from flanders and wanted their vienna and bock that way! Acetic Acid anyone?

Reading these various posts I'm disappointed by such an attitude from a craft brewery. You would think that someone supposedly so passionate about good beer would care more but it appears I don't know these things...

I actually tasted these a few weeks ago at an event up here and neither had these flaws. They were both very drinkable so it does suggest a batch or a handling issue...

so is red oak honey ale meant to taste like orange and mango juice? or was i to another customer of an infected commercial beer, their was no hint of honey to me :icon_vomit:

BB Ale / Riwaka SMASH underway at the moment. Our very own dearest ChapChap gave me a pack of this year's Riwaka flowers to try out (many thanks again pal!), I've always wanted to do a SMASH and I also wanted some pics for a noob's BIAB guide, plus test overnight mashing out. The guide will be a few days, but the hops do smell rather good in the boil and overnight mashing is quite efficient both at extraction and using my time.

The recipe is lifted from Ross' NS Summer Ale:
3.3kg Barret Burston Ale Malt
75g 5.9%AA 09 Riwaka:
19g @ 90mins 18 IBU
18g @ 20mins 9 IBU
25g @ 5mins 4 IBU
13g @ Dry hop
Mash at 66, add 5.2, CaSO4, NaCl and citric to 19 litres rainwater in, stockpot BIAB. Dunk sparged, combined pre- boil SG is 1.062, I'll dilute that post- boil as I usually do, although it complicates the guide a little bit and I really meant not to dilute for that reason, but I guess it gets the idea out there from the start.
Targets: OG 1.051 FG 1.011 32IBU 11EBC 5.2%alc v/v
Fermenting with Wy1469 is planned at this stage, although I have 1318 and 1768 on hand, plus the usual suspects in dry form. I'm loving the stonefruit 1469 throws, although I should really use the London Ale III pack soon, while I don't think 1768 ESB would do it much justice. I'm open to suggestions of course.
So, nothing fancy but shaping up to be a very useful brew in lots of different ways!

Also, this rye is getting popular, it is another grain on my list to have a go at one day. So many different things to try, so few brews to slowly get through them all...

Either that or they dont care for constructive criticisim. It must be some issue with the bottling process or the have had a cold side infection somewhere as all of our bottles form the same batches and 2 different styles had decent acetic infections. Nothing mild either. Something like an under aged Flanders Red.

Not sure if I'm allowed to do this but:

The First of the Last (Mark II)

1.7kg tin "ESB English Bitter"

500g dextrose

250g maltodextrin

250g dried light malt

11.5g Safale s-04 yeast

15g teabag Goldings finishing hops

Mixed everything up in the fermenter and sat in down in the garage for just under a week, then quickly opened up and threw in the teabag.

OG was 1.040

It's been going for nearly 2 weeks now and seems to have settled with a hydrometer reading of 1.011
