Whats In The Glass Pics

Tsk Tsk TidalPete,
Non-filtered does not necessarily = cloudy.
A few weeks & it would look different....if it lasted that long, eh Warren? ;-)

Pete

:lol: :lol: Hey Peter... What's wrong with 4 weeks grain to brain?

Warren -

 

[bugwan]

I filter probably one in six brews on average. Generally because my methods have become lazy and the brew looks like river water! It can revive even the ugliest of brews.

Warren doesn't seem to have the technique problem that I do <_<

 

[Peter Wadey]

"Wontamette" American Brown Ale. 3 weeks in the keg and just starting to hit her straps. :chug:

Is there anything better than that first beer while the sun sets? B)

Sunset in a glass!
Way to go Warren

Randyrob,
What did you do to jayse's Skunk Fart to get that colour?
It looks great topped with that bright white head. Can't miss the head colour

Hey Pete,

just looking back on the original Skunk Fart Thread and
it called for "250 g 80-90 ebc crystal malt"
i used 300g 115-145 ebc crystal malt, whoops!!!!
i'm guessing thats why it is so dark.

i've also done the second Skunk Fart Recipe in the thread
and that come up dark as well, what gives???

what colour should it be comming out at?

Rob.

Looks good to me! :beerbang:

If you're really worried and want to justify the colour you could always say the skunk farted and touched cloth. :lol:

I had a look at the orig recipe & I thought it was about 20 EBC.
What you have is a lovely coloured beer. Something I thought about trying to replicate.
I wasn't picking mate, don't mistake.

Pete

 

[warrenlw63]

Yep, something totally appetising about a copper coloured beer.

i think you're right about the 20 EBC thing, just had a look at my recipe (below) and suggests 19.6 EBC???

Hi Rob,
Nope, can't see from the recipe why she looks ruby, unless the xtal was a dark xtal.
I thought perhaps the blue in the background of the shot might have been skewing things, but had a 2nd look and don't think so. Anyway I'm going to stop thinking about a ruby coloured beer, or it'll screw with my brew plans....not that they're ever set in stone

Anyway back to more pictures.....

Filtered Carb'd and served in 20mins and before 4pm

Aussie pale ale

My 2nd AG, 4 wks in the bottle. Picture doesn't show the colour very well - its a bit lighter than that.

100% ale malt mashed at 64c, POR at 60 mins, 15 mins, a recultured coopers yeast, around 5% alc.

Not overly exciting. However, it has achieved exactly what I was after - a nice, light, easy drinking ale "in the style of" a coopers pale ale. It is going down a treat and could be good session beer. I will make it again with some minor changes...

Thanks for the kind words gents. A superb porter, if I do say so myself! It's really designed for those cold Winter evenings, but it's not going to last...

Tony, great work on that Pale, superb colour. I love the aroma of B Saaz, I'm still yet to use it myself... Shame, shame!

I'm off to brew a Wit now. The sun's a bit low in the sky, but it's a quiet night for me tonight anyway...

Cheers.

edit: forgot to add, recipe for the porter is based on Aaron's Monster Porter (in the recipe database)
