Whats In The Glass

[pk.sax]

That's my little galaxy pale ale. Based loosely around the grain bill of Tony's LCBA but malts subbed and proportions changed and all galaxy in the boil. Still slid in some motueka :lol: as a dry hop but can't tell it's there with all the galaxy!

Is that the one with 1768, Brad?

 

[Mayor of Mildura]

I'm doing my best to empty the keg of EIPA. When it was fresh I didn't rate it at all. But after 6 weeks or so in the keg it has really hit its straps.

Yeah mate thats the one. Pretty happy with it at this stage. Planning on making it to BABBS so will bring a couple of samples.



Cheers

Cool! Ditto, I'll be bringing some of my own, but really not 100% sold on them TBH so would be grand to compare notes. :icon_cheers:

English Bitter throw together and unfortunately the keg is nearly empty...

 

[Steve@PMF82]

When i was in Belgium , met up with German friends who were ignorant to the bliss of Trappist beer.

I got him to try a couple and they sent me this pic, he has decided he is in love with Rochefort.
They zipped up the autobahn, if i remember right a bit over 4hrs @ 240km/h to fill the wagon...needles to say i am jealous. :icon_drool2: :icon_drool2: :icon_drool2:

Wow, looks great and sounds intriguing. What does hibiscus taste like? Also why the dex into cube...carbonation in cube?

 

[jbowers]

Sounds like he is doubling his hibiscus infusion with bulk priming.

My Cyser - with cloudy apple juice and some local raw honey.

tipped a lil yeast in.. sloppy hand

Hibiscus tea tastes a bit like raspberries, but much more acidic and tannic. It is used alot in the Middle East where they load it up with sugar so it ends up tasting like Cottee's raspberry cordial. It really works well in combo with the wiezen, gives it an acidity that makes it even more refreshing.

In regards to the dex I used it to make sure that the ferment was still active. I want to make sure that after transferring it to the cube it is still producing enough CO2 to reduce the risk of inbound nasties. It may strip some aroma/flavour from the hibiscus but its not so subtle that it matters.
