Whats In The Glass Pics

[warrenlw63]

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.

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

Cheers
Andrew

Hey guys, I've been including a protein rests in my last couple of beers. I reckon it does make a difference to the mouthfeel. Seems more up there with the commercial brews. Also seems to give better head formation.

Not sure if its my imagination but the beer seems less cloying and filling?

I'm convinced. B)

Hiya Warren. FWIW, I always protein rest my beers@ 20-30 mins. max and would agree with your summation of better head formation (and retention in my case), mouthfeel, etc.

Cheers Rob,
This is the first beer I have made that caused wine drinkers to pause for thought,
If only a local craft brewery would make somthing like this for summer, they would really do well.

Note, OG was supposed to be approx 1042, but stuffed up on volumes, hence this higher gravity version.
tastes very similar to the bottled Brewers Gold I have sampled.

Bought a new camera, thought I might put it to good use
My Black Rock Bock. Used the Blackrock Bock kit with a bit of extra caramalt and a German Lager yeast (can't recall which one off the top of my heard). Not great but a couple of months in the bottle has done it some favours.

After all that - probably the only glass of this I will get to drink - the rest needed for the Xmas swap.

Don't worry Roger, Corellion and I will let you know what we thought about it.

My fourth brew ... I'm pretty pleased with this one. Nice creamy head. I think I'm going to have to start racking and leaving in secondary before kegging from now on though.

my American Wheat

Not a bad drop actually.

Needs some more carb but im working on that.

cheers

 

[homekegger1]

HK - I agree with the "tasty" comment, but unfortunately this fine drop is starting to get priced out of my league.

When I was at 1st Choice (no affiliation) on the weekend they were asking $14.99 for a 330 ml bottle.

I think I paid about 12 or 13 at the Wheatie, take away.

Troy - no need to rack a wheat to 2ndary. Just get it into the keg from primary and drink. Nice yeast that WB06 isnt it.
Cheers

[drag]

Just a standard coopers draught + 1kg of ldme.
One thing though is the big bubbles that stick to the side of the glass?
Is this a sign of high carbonation or what?
