My NZWPA. New Zeland Wheat Pale Ale was ment to be more of an IPA but the hops juat arnt big enough. more APA kind of levels.
The wheat is really drying out by the day and the hops and bitterness stick out a bit more each pour.
A bit cloudy at 3 deg as poured and photographed... mainly from lots of hop flowers. they were about 10" deep in the kettle after draining.
Malty up front, then the hop flavour floods your mouth. Long finish of bitterness in the mouth. Aroma is citrus and spicy. D Saaz and Nelson Sauvin work well together and a bit of lemon from the sothern cross works well.

bloody great is a better description :)

Yes but you lit the way Bradley, I mean before I went to your brew day it never occurred to me in my wildest dreams that you could actually put a kilo of roast barley into a brew and live to tell the tale (800g in this brew) :eek: :eek: that's frgn FERAL but it works, hey :icon_cheers:

Nice Tony, I've got a CAP fermenting now, I'll be interested in comparing pics on colour and clarity, it's my first proper CAP and I'm keen to sample.

here is the one i made last year. I made this with WLP833 and much prefered it.

The one i hace on tap now was made with 2007 and its not as good.

I see an order for 833 going in soon.

cheers

Well done SiBorg,

Just bottled my LCBA clone, came back inside for a home brew and DAMN...no beer in the fridge. I must have about 200 stubbies of beer under the house and there is nothing in the fridge.

Anyway....a schooner of scotch and coke is what is in my glass....or what WAS in my glass. Maybe half scotch and half coke was overkill..

bed time....the world is spinning. Maybe I drank it too fast :) .......floating.......

ZZzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz

A (undercarbed) recent beer. Rauchbier made with 80% Weyermann rauchmalt. I'm getting a kind of honey baked ham taste from it. I wish that I could get my hands on the other rauchmalt that everyone talks about (which is no longer imported).

Hoepfner............mmmmmmmmmm i miss that stuff.
 
Yorkshire Special Bitter - Tetley style (also other Northern bitters such as Stones of Sheffield, Boddingtons and Theakston were traditionally almost 'lager' colour as well although I see that Boddys has been darkened up a bit since InterMegsSwillBevBastards got hold of it).

A possible contender for the BABBs comp on Thursday ;)

On the other hand the SuperLandlord might be a goer: :)

And if I totally bomb in the MiniComp at least I'm going to be in real ale heaven for a few weeks :beerbang:
 
I bought some Centennial, not opened yet, I thought they were for bittering, but I see they are best used for flavour and aroma. What major diff from Cascade or Amarillo?
 
Baseball CAP

4.25KG BoPils Malt
500g Rice

Chinese Saaz
50g @ 60 mins
30g @ 20 mins
20g @ Flameout

1.045 OG

Drinking WAAAAYY too easy :)

These Chinese Saaz are the pick of the bunch for me, as long as you don't go too overboard with the late additions!

This pic shows the colour, beautiful and light, 3.4SRM

And this pic shows the clarity..... Clearest beer I've done in a while, and only been in the keg a week. Polyclar'ed and filtered :)

Cheers
 
@BribieG:

Similar to cascade but higher aa. Grapefruit/orange characteristics (actually pretty massively grapefruit). Amarillo I would describe as more mandarin like. Would work well with either hop.

I also find they retain their character a little better. Cascade is great early on but fades easily to me.
I personally only like Amarillo blended with something. Great hop, but needs a buddy in my book.
