Whats In The Glass

Here are some snaps of my Oktobeerfest beers ...

They look like some very tasty beers, it's making me thirsty just looking at them!

Enjoying my lastest hefeweizen.
Simple single infusion 65C, 49% pils, 49% wheat, 2% carahell, Hallertauer 15 IBU, WY3068.
8 days ferment at 17.5C.
Turned out to be the best one I've made.

That looks delish Warra! I hope the one I did yesterday looks as good.

They look fantastic mate, kind of personal question I know but, recipes?

Mashing an English bitter and felt tempted to try my recently bottled stout.

Black Warrior Imperial Stout
Bit of a no-no but hopped with nothing but American Warrior hops...up to 107IBU!
7.1%alc/vol. very smooth and velvety, with a nice warmth to finish.
We've got 7kg pils, 1kg Amber, 0.5kg Chocolate, 0.5kg Black Malt and 0.25kg Roasted Barley in a 24L batch. Lots of espresso flavour!

Well after mowing and weed whacking all day in the hot sun, sitting down with a jug of cream ale Mk II is about as perfect as it gets right now! Im loving this version alot more than the first, I added a small dry hop addition and used simcoe instead of cascade with amarillo and it has an ever so subtle passionfruit and mandarin thing going on with a clean malt flavour... Its sooooo dry as well, SG 1007, leaves me begging for another sip :icon_drool2: yum!!

Here she is after 2 weeks in the keg

Just gonna bump this so theres something other than porno on the 'all latest threads' <_<

 

[geoffi]

Apparently all the threads this morning are 'What's in the arse?'

 

[Fourstar]

I'll add to the 'bumping' (but not grinding)

Here is my Aussie 'Clean' Ale. Clean because its with 1056 instead of Coopers slurry. Very muted fermentation profile. Luuurve it! Oh, the joys of filtration! If my case swap bottling runs short, atleast i have this to back it up. 80% Pils, 10% each of Carapils and Munich. Hopped to 38 IBU with superpride and a cube additon of 30g. Alot of hop flavour going on in this one.

Cheers!

That looks great Fourstar.

I found a pack of Superpride in my dridge i bought a while ago i really want to have a go at.

Might give something like this a go.

Is the bitterness smooth. Its suposed to have low cohumulone levels

My English Brown Ale, which has now been in bottles for two weeks:



It's my first attempt at a brown ale and I'm fairly happy with the results. Will be part of the QLD case swap, although I wish I'd brewed a batch of it for myself now!

Smooth as butter. (not diacetyl) Its suprising @ 38 IBU. Rather well balanced. The sweet pils malt helps offset the IBUs abit.

It wasnt super cold as its only recently gone into the fridge but it was definitely as sessionable as compared with my rice lager for the xmas case swap.

Cheers!

Anyone got some tips on how to best photograph a glass of beer?

Any sites that have an 'Idiots Guide to Photographing beer"

I tend not to post many pics as i just cant get the picture to showcase the beer as well as many of you.

I have tried this with good results:
Use a desktop lamp (regardless of globe type) and tape a piece of printer paper over the light and it will soften the light a little therefore not being too over powering for the camera.

Just don't get too carried away with drinking the beer and leave the paper on the lamp lol

I think you have to take it to Batz's place and put it atop that post on the corner of his deck...

Irish red...it attenutated a lot more than I had hoped. But that made it oh so much easier to drink. Was meant to be more full bodied, but turned into a nice summer red irish.






This is my first saison. Will be going in for the sa summer swap. Is an absolute cracker! 6.5% and you wouldn't even know. Will be doing a lighter version for the swap though. It is so potent because of an increase in 15% eff + 3711 french saison which seems to eat everthing and ask for seconds. Simple grain bill, 90% pils and 10% wheat with styrian for bittering and saaz for flavour and a hint for aroma. Very nice spicy nose to this brew, crystal clear and thirst quenching inspite of the high alcohol.

Cheers

A modest lager from a modest man in a modest glass.
Simply a FWK with 2 Satchels of S-23.

I haven't posted in this thread a long time.

Cream Ale Mk II

 

[Fourstar]

My first attempt at a simple cider.

20L of apple juice, rehydrated Safale US05, 1tsp of CaCl (thought it helped for yeast health and flocculation in beer so why not in a cider?!)

Pushed through my filter for a dramatic diamond bright appearance!

cheers! :icon_cheers:

 

[raven19]

How does the Cider taste 4star?

How does the Cider taste 4star?

Sweet/tart and acdic, clean apple aroma, no fermentation precursors/faults (that i can think of). Finishes dry with a sweet apple flavour in the finish. Very nice indeed.
Cheers! :icon_cheers:

See post http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum//ind...st&p=549573 for details. all i can vouch is awesome! Rehydrated the yeat in 200ml of boiled cooled water for around 1 hr before pitching too!

Wish the pic didnt have ISO speckles, its soo bright! :icon_cheers:
