Mashed a little low, so it's a bit on the dry/bland side :angry:

HEre is my chocky porter i have on tap.

It was made as a tooheys old clone with more malt, a bit more hops and about 5.2% ABV

Its bloody nice...... my brother and i were both OLD drinkers before i started home brewing and a heavy sesion on this on saturday night has meft us saying this is a top beer.

ITs old but better.

Smooth maltyness, subtle choc hints with a finnishing sweetness from a bit of crystal

ballance is great from malt to hops, sweetness to bitterness.

too easy to drink

I will stick the recipe in the recipe section

cheers

That looks and sounds great Tony. I'm really loving my black beers at the moment. Never thought
I'd be saying that 10 years ago! My father in law was an avid Tooheys old drinker as well, until
Hunter old came around. Now its nothing but hunter old and the Schwarzbier I make him.
Look forward to the recipe. Will have to try it out.

I tried the hunter old on tap at the QUeens Warfe Brewery in newcastle a few months back and it was a bloody nice beer. very close to mine actually. more malt and body and more chocolate character and body than old

I dont know if its my taste buds or tooheys ripping me off but tooheys old just doesnt seem to be what it used to be 10 years back

Its more like tooheys new with some caramel colour to darken it. its thinner and ...... well its not a black ale any more. Its a dark lager i recon.

My oldman (justy retired from tooheys from 30 years service) reocon the recipe is the same and its me but i question that.

anyway.... back to the porter.

here is my recipe.

I think it turned out a few IBU's less as the hop sock was in need of a good clean and wasnt flowing so well.

probably droped by 5 IBU

here it is

Where did you find that bottle of Suffolk Strong Andrew? I was living off that stuff when I was in England a few years ago. Even there it wasn't easy to find...

Hi Punter,
Looks likes it's not just clothes & music styles that get recycled.

The Stag & Hunter, Mayfield, Newcastle used to sell Toohey's 'Hunter Old' 20 yrs ago.
That's what Old was called when in the Hunter.

Rgds,
Peter

My mum lives in England and sent it over a couple of years ago, very nice drop from what I can remember.

Hey Mike, Grain & Grape (Melbourne) stock most of Emerson's range. Just as exciting is their array of Unibroue beers....

The Emerson's costs around $8 though!

 

[bconnery]

i'm pretty sure Dan murphys stock it.

cheers Ross

I have a feeling First Choice might have some at the moment too.

I wouldn't like to be quoted on that though...

On my second lager using this brilliant yeast, it's so clean and well behaved, fires up in hours @ 10C

My 'Belgian Far Cup'
A ..ahem... Belgian Strong Ale (I won't say what it was supposed to be).
It would take a post of PP proportions to describe what went wrong during the production of this beer but at the end its sticky, tasty and alcoholic so all well I suppose.

Probably on tap for the next few weeks.
edit: good to see this beer causing hassels to the end.

Here's my first attempt at cider. The easiest thing I've ever brewed - apple juice, yeast nutrient and yeast. 3 weeks later, this...
