Whats In The Glass

Something from the kettle this morning.

Finished with a generous gift of Fuggles & EKG
Tastes alright

Neills Centamarillo...

Possibly one of the clearest beers i've brewed, and one of the clearest out of the bottle as well...thought it was pic worthy...

Bottle conditioned for a month, hoppy flavous abound! Nice drop this one, will definately do again. Messed up my bulk prime calcs, so its a little less carb'd than i'd have liked, however still pours with a nice head...

 

[Bizier]

Big apa or small ipa with loads of chinook, keg hopped with chinook and columbus, used jw pils and the simpson naked oats. Dry and refreshing, already nailed one keg.

Hibiscus Wheat

[Tony]

oh yeah!!!!!!

I was looking at hibiscus flowers today thinking......mmmm these would be awsome in a beer.

Where did you get them, how much were they and how much did you use in what size batch

cheers

 

[wraith]

Hey Tony, Got them Here: http://www.herbwholesalers.com/, had to order 1.5 kg as a minimum, order of $30 is required.

1kg $23.90, 500g $13.95 + postage.

I used 500g flowers at flameout in a 35L boil. Though next time I will half that (the flowers are very tart and overpowering) and increase sweetness for balance (more crystal (10%, next time 15%) and higher mash temp(67c, next time 68c)

It's nice but it could be nicer, This was my first attempt with this ingredient, next one should be more spot on.

In relation to the Pumpkin discussion earlier, for the record butternut is not a pumpkin, it's a squash. Why it's called pumpkin here is beyond me, I'm planning a pumpkin ale soon, I'll be using Jap.
(For the record I love Butternut, just saying it's not a Pumpkin).

Pumpkin is a type of squash and butternut is a type of squash that sits perfectly comfortably in the pumpkin family so the name is not incorrect - just a local difference.

Why you'd get so upset about it is beyond me.

 

[wraith]

Ok, This is why I shouldn't post after a few drinks haha, I regret posting that.

You're right bum, It isn't incorrect to call it a pumpkin.

In a way i'm happy because I can use butternut and still call it a pumpkin ale, which I like best anyway

Posted this twice, my clone and a side by side comparison of the Traquair House Jacobite Ale. Mines on the left and has a slightly higher carb. Theirs is on the right and is delicious, hard to tell them apart really. Mine wins though, I can make 20 liters of it for the cost of two of their stubbies. The joys of Home brewing...




cheers

PS. If you're in the NSW special case swap you're getting the one on the left.

Hmmm now I'm thirsty again. That ale looks like it should belong on the counter of an old english pub with big beams on a low ceiling designed for short people.

Well Butters and I are not 6ft, so I guess we fit that description! :icon_cheers:

Scuse the poor focus but this is my biggest surprise of 2011 - my Chinee Lager with new season Chinese Saaz from GLS himself.
It's scrubbed up fantastically but as I've discovered needs a month of lagering to come real good.

None of the throat stripping bitterness of the 2009 batch and this reminds me of quaffing a Carlsberg. Mild clean aroma, pleasant mid-tongue bitterness, And I've got a kilo of the stuff, will be doing this one as a house beer from now on.

Tried this beer last week. Have to say the best beer made with Chinesse hops Ive had to date.Nice job Bribie.
As for a house beer, well.... Ide like to have the recipe of the other one you had that night, that was really good. :icon_cheers:

Tried the Traquair a couple of weeks ago. Really nice. Any chance of sharing the recipe?

thanks

Can you elaborate on what you included and did what with etc??

Can you elaborate on what you included and did what with etc??

Ingredients were:
1.7kg Coopers English Bitter Kit
500g Light Dried Malt Extract
400g Brew Enhancer 2
And a few table spoons of treacle
Made to 23 litres and fermented at 18C with the kit yeast
Everyone who has tried it loved it, and have commented that it has no 'homebrew' taste It actually has some nice hop aroma, without any additions.

Its great having temp control! From fermenter in cupboard and hope for the best, to kits with temp control was a big step in quality.
