Had an Old Speckled Hen and a Taylors Landlord last night. Very nice change from my hop forward beers and has me thinking about how to do a malt forward style.

What dry yeast would i use for something like that? I have Nottingham?

The recipe DB has a couple of Landlord clone recipes & the link below is for a OSH recipe by a very well regarded home brewer from the UK. This uses Notto, but I wonder it that's not a bit clean for this beer? I did attempt the extract version for my second ever brew & ****** it up spectacularly as my bittering hops had a much higher AA%.

You've got to really ferment Notto at the top end of its recommended temp range - maybe even a degree or two higher. Otherwise it's too clean.

So clean, in fact, that at its lowest end, it does excellent as a faux-lager yeast. I have used it as this a few times.

I find Notto goes completely out of control if not fermented right at the bottom end, I mean epic yeast explosion.

That's with a Porter/Stout though so maybe it's a bit different with a lighter beer.

Yep, I used it at 18 degrees once. Not particularly estery, but hell yeah - massive krausen and a bit like my lovemaking, it's finished pretty quick.

Northside, did you find the Rogue Yellow Snow extremely bitter? It was my first beer from Rogue and I was really looking forward to it. But it was way too bitter for my tastes. I Didn't enjoy it at all.

 

[Northside Novice]

Yes it was fairly bitter , I did really enjoy it but my palate my have been compromised slightly by the time I tried it .

Rodenbach Grand Cru @ the Scratch.

Loverly stuff on a lazy Sunday arvo.

 

[fletcher]

kinda feels like the wrong time of year to drink it being so cold, but my wife picked it up on a hunter wine trip so couldn't say no.

apple truck cider from barrington tops. lovely little bite to it.

I had a bottle about a month ago. I thought the bitterness was harsh, dominated by grapefruit.

Farmhouse ipa from flying dog 7.5

Absolutely delightful ! Can't notice the higher alc at all .
Am in a creamy funky place with a lovely hoppy ambiance and a Belgian flag drifting in the breeze .
And a great label too

Shmalts brewing company Messiah nut brown ale 5.2%
Am always impressed by these guys , and again they delivered !
Very smooth and balanced and clean with a great mouth feel They do the conney island stuff which is a+ but their Hebrew brews are something else hinting on perfection .

[markjd]

Not my favourite, but at $10 for a six pack, Dundee India Pale Ale :drinks:

 

[KingKong]

Picked up a 6 pack of Stoke Dark from Dans. It's not rocking my world. Bit thin for me. Wont buy again.

 

[rehab]

Knee Deep Simtra. Awesome beer to have shared at the end of a droughtbreaking brew day. Wish I could get more but they are out of reach and at $30+ the missus would kill me and blame the foreign speaking neighbours!

 

[Fat Bastard]

Tocalmatto B Space Invader Black IPA.

Way overcarbed from the bottle for something that's supposed to be a Black IPA and even more so when you consider this a hoppy bastard Stout. Pours as black as ink and has miles of roast/toast/burnt character, not quite balanced out by the (considerable) amount of hops used. There's some nice floral notes on the nose, but I'm finding this a tough drink to get through, and I love Black IPA's normally.

I think it's a good beer for what it is, but hopping the buggery out of a fizzy, thin stout doesn't make a Black IPA. This gets 99/100 on ratebeer apparently, which just goes to show that most people over there talk out their arses. There was some talk there of the carb levels being quite low, so perhaps the carb level in my bottle is unintentional, but I find it really detracts from the beer, and I for one would enjoy it more if carbed to a less ridiculous level. It's an ok beer, but not 99/100.

Finally cracked my Birthday Beer tonight, 3 weeks late thanks to work and the flu....

Samuel Smith's Taddy Porter.......no wonder it rates so well, bloody nice drop.

T'was my second Samuel Smith beer and both have been fantastic, may have to stock up next time I'm down the smoke.
No picture, too busy cooking and eating dinner for that....It was black with a nice tan head, yeah you can see it....

Was in Dan's place the other day so treated myself to a mix of 10 beers for 10% off

Last night I had a

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
These used to be such an awesome beer. Lately they have been a hit and miss, and this one missed the mark. I didn't get that in your face late hop hit from the hop back at all.

Stoke Bomer Kiwi Pale Ale
Fruity beer, more an Aussie Pale Ale on steroids, than an American Pale Ale. It had the hop level like an American, but the fruity flavors of the Australian.
I got a lot of stone fruit and a truck load of marmalade from it. It was very zesty.
Excellent value for money. 650ml bottle $3.49 - 10% = $3.14
Reading the bottle it's WAI-ITI hops

It's a beer I will buy again.

 

[Logman]

I bought a Sail and Anchor Imperial Stout at Dan's yesterday, must be a recent addition there. Didn't get around to drinking it though, anyone had this yet? Couldn't see it ITT...

Also noticed they had no Alpha Pale Ale and couldn't find any rows saying that it was out of stock, hope they aren't giving it the flick, they were discounting Matilda Bay beers up the front too :huh:

Had one last night, but CBF posting a picture of it.

Big in flavour, as would be expected, lots of coffee, toffee and a hint of vanilla. Got a little bit too sweet by the end of the longneck, but definitely a great beer to have while sitting around the fireplace.

Expensive, but would buy again.

 

[bullsneck]

Expensive, but would buy again for bullsneck

Thanks, that's awfully nice of you.

Australian Brewery, The Pale Ale
Pacific Pale Ale style

Awesome cloudy pale color
Mild malt backbone, with a clean Galaxy finish.
I find Galaxy is often overdone, here they have kept the maltiness low which allows a low level of Galaxy and have prevented the galaxy from becoming harsh.
A little bit sweet, a few more IBU would be nice.

Overall a very nice beer.
