Just the way they come out RR No crystal in that either.

Rook, it is a great style. Here's my receipe. I'm putting it in the NSW Comp next week, will be good to get some feedback.

And yes, the hop figure is correct. The were low alpha, what's a brewer supposed to do?

Cheers.

Weak as piss Duff - where's the nude reflection???

Seriously looks great :icon_drool2: , I'll have a crack at your recipe once I corner the Australian Spalter pellet market.

Rogers Clone

I have stuffed up a few things - and a couple I would tweak.

1. Chinook is in there something - but late not early - Note to self - Chinook can be overpowering.
2. OG was too high - this is no lawnmower beer - close to 5% - used US56 and FG was 1.010 (from 1.048)
3. Little bit dark - cut the chocolate back to half
4. Half the Bittering Hop

But apart from that its not toooo far off - I would most certainly make this again - maybe to increase the appeal - add a bit of Nelson in there.

Cheers

Is it drinkable mate? Looks great :beerbang:

I have a fresh pack of the 1318 i used to win a 1st with it at a state comp so will be brewing it again for sure. even got some fresh JW ale malt for the job.

cheers

Hell yes its drinkable, I think with my hefeweizen, Sierra Nevada APA clone and your aussie ale, I think may have my three most drinkable beers selected! The cultured Coopers Sparking Ale dregs worked a treat on it and the POR flowers gave it just the perfect bitterness. Very pleased! I brew 40 litre batches, so I have another carboy just waiting for me as well.

A salute to warm Spring weather - my new 0.5 litre 'vase' filled with a Dunkel mashed back in Winter. Many thanks to Redbeard for the heads up on Vintage Cellars beer+glass specials for Octoberfest.

My SWMBO would be a little upset if she knew what my brothers mates used the flower vase for!

MMMMM that's bigger than a 1/2 ltr stein. :beerbang:

Hmmm... just couldn't help myself.
Now to next problem... which one first.

Octoberfest Gerards FWK.
Need more hops LOL
Otherwise a great thirst quencher...

Fibonacci XPA

For a beer having 330g of hops and 38 IBUs it is very non offensive, I can now see why some of the big breweries use Williamette as their main hop.

How do you keep the beer from turning green Jye, that's what we want to know! (save some for Sqyres!)

My 1st Roggenbier, the extra work at sparging is worth it imho, i upped the hops by 5gm for both additions from JZ's recipe, it's a little turbid but this is the 3rd glass out of the keg and according to style guides it's ok.
