Whats In The Glass

[bconnery]

Looks nice Ben. :icon_cheers:
Care to enlighten us on your means of storage over such a long time & perhaps the yeast used?
As an aside I'm planning my first Barleywine but unsure if standard tallies are good enough storage-wise? Am thinking champagne bottles? Waddya reckon?
Recipe for critique?

TP

I use glass bottles TP
Can't comment on champagne vs tallies but I believe lonte on here, Michael Mowbray has issues with carbonation long term and suggested next time he would wax seal his barleywines. That's one examples though, other long term cellarers chime in here please...
I just keep mine in the cupboard under the stairs where it remains reasonably constant temp wise.

Aussie Pale Ale.
Not a great example but a drinkable beer all the same. Made it at the wrong time of year I think. This would go down a treat in summer...

Looks good to me Ben but I'm interested in the glass & where you got it from?
Mate brought me back a Kozel last January only to find it broken when he opened his luggage.

so I'm still looking.
Have PM'd you on another matter.

[bconnery]

Sounds like the above is responsible for your comments "faded sourness and the sweet caramel note up front with the slight sour at the end" great to see another of your works of art escaping the bottle.

Pete to bottle in Champagne bottles you need the larger crown seals and a tirage bell for your capper.

Cheers for that Screwy. Still to start collecting champagne bottles from the local restaurant down the road. Just waiting for the Christmas period.

This was the first of the AG versions of this beer that came close to the quality of the orginal extract version. Seeing as how I can't / won't boil my AG one for 6 hours like the original I try and put a fair amount of caramelization in in a shorter time frame...

Some brown sugar with the orange rind and juice then about 4L of wort seems to work well.

Yet another glass of Hefe-weizen.

Never seem to get sick of this stuff.
I really must get round to brewing a weizenbock again :icon_drool2: .

 

[Tony]

Here is my Alt i have on tap at the moment.

Its still a tad young but very nice.

cheers

No pic here either haven't brewed since forever, soon, soon..............Have a todo list as long as my arm.

Saison. Pic with the flash looked better but came out way too dark to show the true colour.
Last bottle from a batch done a year ago. Keg has been and gone a long time ago

Made with the seasonal WY3711. Man that stuff likes to ferment. Mashed at 64C and got down to 1004. Didn't have to ramp up the temp like I've read Saison yeasts can often need. Fermented around the 25C mark mostly.

 

[winkle]

Looks the friggin goods mate, love the glass BTW.
Just tucking into a (ahem) few saisons myself :icon_drunk:

edit canna spell

Brother in law in Sydney had similar to you and same procedure. That's seven years ago and new lease on life, goes sailing on the Pittwater and just replaced every window in his house with double glazing whilst suspended off a hire crane .. he's 73

Many happy years ahead mate. :beerbang:
