Love the pic Fourstar, lovely "bokeh" as they say in the photography world Time to pour myself a drink beer I think, 2nd brew is mashing away.

Fourstar..... you got a recipe for that mate........ looks tops. I love the colour!

cheers

Looks good haysie. My red is about to hit the yeast. A little complex the malt bill is but could be interesting. Besides you can write of the carapils in terms of flavour anyway. its just there to ensure i keep a nice creamy head. Colour might be a little dark but i'll see how she goes!

83% JW Ale
3.5% Dingemanns iscuit malt
3.5% Carapils Weyermann
3.5% Caramalt JW
3.5% Medium Crystal JW
3% JW Roast Barley

Fourstar, Looks good,Complex malt bills are great!
My malt bill was
Maris Otter 90%
Carafa 1 1%
Special B 3%
Carared 3%
Carapils 3%

Brilliant red on the high side of style.

Acutally quite nutty.

Hello All,

This is my first beer from my fermentation fridge. Little Creatures Bright Ale clone (from MHB - Mark @ ubrew.com.au) THANK YOU MARK! please contact him if you want this, he is a very nice and helpful guy.

Its only been a week in the bottle, but I couldn't help myself (scientific reasons). I was really surprised at the head on this beer. Although the condensation doesnt show it, the beer is quite clear and damn near close to Little Creatures Bright Ale.

​

Recipe
Black Rock Pilsnener Kit 1.7kg
1kg Malt+ (marks stuff)
1 x LCBA hop tea bag (10min boil/steep)
1 x LCBA hop tea bag (just before yeast)

Easy...brewed at 18C, 10 days primary, 4 days cold crash with glelatine.

Tastes a little green at 1 week, but still REALLY nice. I cant wait for 1-2months, I think the light fruitiness will really be at its peak and a really nice body to go with the foamy head.

My apologies for drinking 1/5 of the glass before I took the photo. I got too excited and forgot, how rude!

Nice one rendo. I don't think mine turned out too well. There's just something a miss about it. It has that fruity flavour, but is very sweet and it has a hint of bitterness, but like I said... somethings not quite right about it. Probably still a little green at this stage (1.5 weeks in the bottle) but the other ones I've tried haven't been like this.

MY new Birthday Glass with a 7 month old FES.....sensational, one of the best beers i have made



Rook

 

[Tony]

Roggenbier.

Was supposed to be 5.2% but got 4.2% so its a bit bitter.

Bloody nice though

Looks very nice Tony & I'm sure it tastes great too. :icon_cheers:
Just hope my Roggenbier (Next on the list) has the same visual appeal.

Can't remember if I've posted my last Dunkelweizen or not but here it is in all it's glory. Was supposed to be 6.3% ABV but FG dropped to 1.002 when I wasn't looking giving me over 7% & a nice dry beer.

Edit --- Bloody camera seems to have reset itself.

 

[3GumsBrewing]

This is my first attempt at a English Barleywine. Not a bad drop at all. It's malty, EKGy and has a damn good alc backbone.

Pretty much hit all my targets -

OG - 1.107
FG - 1.018
ABV - 11.71%

Birthday Weizen

A quick weizen I knocked up for my birthday bash today. 70/30 wheat pilsner, hallertau pacific @ 60 to 15 ibu, 65 degree mash, OG 1.044, 3068 yeast.

Smell: Nice blend and balance of banana and clove.

Appearance: Cloudy and pale.

Taste: A quick tropical fruit punch hit with a strong aftertaste of banana, which then turns quite tart which leaves a pleasant acidic taste around the mouth.

Overall: Not the best beer, but as it is fresh, have to say it beats a lot of the micro hefeweizens that I have tasted...

My Citra + Nelson Sauvin APA.



Would have to be one of my best beers to date.

Very happy with this one though not much left in the keg now.

All Grain Fake Aussie Lager

4500gms Ale malt
500gms cooked rice in mash
25 gms POR for 60 mins
25 gms POR at 15 mins.
US 05
Mashed at 64
Fermented right out, ended up being about 5.4%, but the rice hides the alcohol well. 1st time using POR and I'm really enjoying it.

A dry beer that is smoothed out with the rice that I am very happy with, and so were the fellas after work...draining my bloody kegs!
Credit to BribieG here.






Extract and small Partial American Amber Ale.
Used Cascade and Centennial.

 

[bconnery]

Rye ESB
Nice spiceness from the Rye backed up by the caramel and crystal

Very happy with this one.

 

[Bribie G]

The Amber I'm not entering on Thursday.
This one's the ludicrously hopped Amarillo one. I'm quite getting used to these Yank hops.

Funnily enough, just as an exercise I did identical grain bills with three ales and they are all in the keg and drinking now:

30 Chinook 90 mins
30 Cascade 10 mins
30 Centennial tea 4 days
30 Centennial tea into cold crash

30 Columbus 90 mins
30 Amarillo 10 mins
30 Amarillo tea 4 days
30 Amarillo tea into cold crash

60 Admiral 90 mins
20 Northdown 10 mins
20 Northdown tea into cold crash

And the first one with the C hops hangs together best out of the three

Edit: I'll bring bottles on Thursday and you'll see what I mean.

Steve, I filter most of my beers. This one lasted less than 2 weeks as I had some mates over and they took a shining to it (I should have told them it wasn't worth drinking!)
