Love the 833............ have used it for several years and still consider it my favorite yeast!

Berlinner Weisse - using the Wyeast PC blend, mash hopped with Nelson Sauvin and 100% delicious. It is crystal clear and highly effervescent, both of which didn't come out in the pic.

Where is the red or green cordial?
 
English bitter...fermented a touch too warm methinks...a bit too much fruitiness/esthers in the aftertaste. It's fine after two pints though.

Then a "better red than dead"...lit from below so you can see it's not just totally black. Again I think this has thrown off a few undesireable flavours, but in this instance it is too much alcohol warmth...although it is only %5, maybe too many fusels??? (I'm flying blind here and throwing around words that I'm not sure are correct.


Both only 4 weeks in the bottle so I'm hoping they mellow a little.

Cheers all!

(A mate came around last night to sample a few so I got him to take photos - I don't have a digital camera...more to come).

Me munich dunkel. Really happy with it. One of my first lagers brewed with 2206. Far out this yeast can push the malt flavours. I also brewed an october fest beer with it at the same time.

Edit: Bloody photo was sideways

argon,

you really talked this bad boy up! my mouth is watering. Im planning on a big american brown/ IPA soon, wanna share the share your recipe for this one??

**** just saw the link at the bottom of your post...


Here's the link to the Black IPA recipe... reminded me cause i blew the keg the other night :(

The beauty of the double batch... there's another keg's worth ready for kegging in the next day or 2 :)
 
Oh happy day, my ale brewing has been up the shyte lately with the weather and with 1469 - I only have a small temp controlled fridge which has been tied up with lagers. My ales usually do just great under a doonah with 5 litre ice blocks made in mini jerry cans. No problem. Polite helpful Wyeast 1056 goes about its job perfectly, as does Ringwood etc.


However 1469 chucks a huge madonna hissy fit and before you know it you have volcanic action and 24 degrees in the fermenter with masses of solid yeast oozing out of the grommet and mounding up on top of the fermenter, and even Captain Freeze with his freeze ray couldn't get it down. Ketones, cat piss overtones etc. So I did the last 1469 in the lager fridge and straight-jacketed it to 16 degrees and I now have my beloved Yorkshire Gold back again.

Gotta get a bigger ferm fridge. <_<

If you want lagers and ales, particularly in summer, then I think you mean _another_ fridge BribieG! :eek: Even with the two I have, it is a challenge to keep everything flowing smoothly, natural disasters, work and domestic interruptions aside of course. Even though the lager fridge gets swapped between ferment temps and some CCing action, I'd be far happier with a third fridge, thankfully my controller is good for eight! B)

Waiter.... there is a fly in my beer :)

Getting near the last of the keg of Belgian Sour Orange Ale I took to club night at ANHC.
I know I've posted this before but I've been enjoying having on tap a beer I normally only bottle.

Tony, you got a link to the recipe of that one please?

cheers Ross
 
A nice dark wheat creation - heaps of Carafa I, %50 wheat grain bill. Also a LCBA a la Tony. Hazy but the bracing and mouthfeel is amazing! (please forgive the peripheral mess - can't crop the photo).

Hey....it was just that kind of party...you know how I like to roll....
 
1st roggenbier.

Fermented this quite low (18-19C) with WLP300 and it's thrown cloves in spades.

The spiciness of the rye comes through wonderfully, happy with my first attempt at this style.

It's been in the keg for 7 days so the yeast has settled out quite a bit.

Home grown Victoria hops in a rye golden ale. The 4th in the series of homegrown hops (previous versions used chinook, cascade and POR).

Very happy with this one, my favourite of the series. Victoria is such a unique hops. Loqats with some apricot. :icon_drool2:

Having a RIS nightcap. Still in a keg, still with an oak stave drowning in it. Think 1/2 pint glass full of a liquid blacker than the ace of spades. :chug:
 
no pics, but finishing the keg of dark braggot from anhc.
i think there is a glass left.
 
Amarillo and Motueka APA. Low bitterness, big aroma addition. This is drinking nicely.

A pils of sorts. 100% pils malt, 833 but Amarillo and Simcoe at 2g/l at 20 and 5. Brilliant. :chug:
 
Rooting Kings' Rye Brown

Nice smoothness in this brew, low bitterness, nice lacy head that is long lasting, medium to low carbonation, golden amber in colour. Bitterness is balanced with the medium to light malt backbone.

A darn tasty brew. Cheers mate!

good brewing technique ;) :eek: I don't like carapils...

The recipe is loosely based on the little creatures brown recipe that popped up on here a while ago...I think there is a recipe in the DB but there is a bit of crystal in there from memory which would certainly help.
