Whats In The Glass Pics

[warrenlw63]

The Kiss theory works very well Warren, lovely looking beer, I love one hop one malt beers, they really test your understanding of the brewing process to get the balance right.
I just wish I had your camera skills. <_<

This was unfiltered but I used gelatine then polyclar with a week between the two.

I think Zwickels Mash regime is the reason for the clarity in this beer, definately worth the extra effort for a beer this clear and the dry finishes is spot on.

By the way, Thanks Zwickel, I can now brew a decent Pilsner.

Cheers
Andrew

Hey Andrew, can you post the mash schedule? I actually did a protein rest (52 degrees for 20 minutes) on the Southern Cross beer. Beginning to think that it makes a real difference (not as clear as yours though). Particularly with no chill beers where clarity has been an issue for me previously.

Mine was kegged with a sachet of gelatin also. No polyclar though.

I have my Bulls Tale Pale Ale on tap.


And if anyone says you cant use more than 20 IBU of POR without it being harsh...... they cant brew. This is smooth. it sat in secondary for 5 days and spent 2 days carbing up in the fridge.

cheers



I just loved the replies to this post :lol:
But I made a an Aussie with this in it for 42 IBUs and it's smooth as.

20.00 gm Pride of Ringwood [11.00 %] (60 min) (First Wort Hop) Hops 24.3 IBU
16.00 gm Cluster [5.30 %] (15 min) Hops 3.8 IBU
20.00 gm Pride of Ringwood [11.00 %] (15 min) Hops 10.9 IBU
15.00 gm Pride of Ringwood [12.00 %] (5 min) Hops 3.2 IBU

Drinking it as I type.....Nice.

Does that mean I CAN brew ?

Fantastic effort (as usual) guys. My PhAT runneth over today. :lol:

Bindi, looks great, but I think the Cluster would have smoothed out the POR :lol:
Love to try something like that.

I have my Bulls Tale Pale Ale on tap.

Simple brew..... one malt..... one hop

JW ale malt and Pride of Ringwood flowers.

1.052, 27 IBU. Hopped with 10 IBU at FWH, the rest 45 min addition and 1/2g per liter at 5 min to go.

ITs creamy smooth, and very very drinkable.

It holds a head for ages and all the way to the bottom of the glass. Im very impressed.

pic on the fence is after pouring, the pic on the garden edge is 10 min later after i went and played with chilli plants. Great head retention.

And if anyone says you cant use more than 20 IBU of POR without it being harsh...... they cant brew. This is smooth. it sat in secondary for 5 days and spent 2 days carbing up in the fridge.

cheers

edit: pics were sideways and the beer was running out.

 

[johnno]

mmmm....lots of nice looking beers.

:icon_offtopic: And I have to agree with Tony about the POR. I have never used pellets but fresh flowers are awesome.

I have bittered to about 30 IBU, as well as other levels with fresh POR flowers and the results were nothing like what I expected after hearing all the horror stories about them.

If you can get fresh flowers I highly recommend them.

cheers

[snagler]

Ah boiler trip in the thunder storm - got to go !!!

 

[Tony]

:lol: I dont miss that...... Have fun.

I was at bulga till 7 last night and the rain was so heavy it stopped the Train Speed Indicator optical sensors seeing the train wagons and left some wagons in the train empty....... they had to back it up. Now these sensors are only a few meters from the wagons so it was some serious water...... we couldnt see 50 meters in it out the window.

It was dark red on the weather radar.

There is some wild wooly weather round these parts ATM.

cheers mate

5 min Mash out Heat to 78.0 C over 10 min 78.0 C

Love to try that one Andrew, there's no doubt Zwickels mash regime produces great Pils, absolutely clear and the 189 attenuates them perfectly, I use the Glyco-Protien rest in a lot of my beers now to improve the head. Like your use of Aus Pils, less grainy aroma than the Weyermann and your use of Melanoidin. What was the FG? Next time I want to split the base, Wey Pils and Galaxy and add a little Carapils just to body it up a tiny bit, think the 189 finisted it at 1.007 last time, just a tad too dry for me. Certainly looks beaut.

 

[AndrewQLD]

Finished at 1.008 Screwtop, but I must say I like it nice and dry.

Cheers
Andrew
