Whats In The Glass

Batz Mongrel

I brew a little over a keg these days to allow for filtering etc, the extra which is around 1.5lts goes into a 9lt keg that I name my Mongrel.
Mostly these turn out to be surprising good beers considering ales, lagers, pilsners and whatever go into them. This one is drinking very nicely today while turning out 50lt of Aussie Lager and 50lt of Dark Bohemian Pilsner.

had a session at a mates. drinking his pale clone. i must say keg vs bottle. keg wins.

was a lcpa clone but reeked of honey/butterscotch. still tasty though

My first Saison is bottle conditioning and it tastes like ****, maybe another 6 months? Anyway's this one on the other hand... fermented with farmhouse 3726 is freaking awesome!! tastes peppery as, only in the keg a few days ago so needs a another week or so but I could slam a dozen of these suckers!!! What an awesome yeast, fermented at 28deg and tastes smooth!!!

This is my leffe brune clone after a week in bottle (too early but was my first bulk prime and wanted to check it worked) tasted effing awsome tho plus my first in the glass post

 

[porky4776]

I think there's something very wrong with your house and land and you need to sell it, very cheaply. I'll help you out in the interests of brewerhood.

Here's my Hoegaarden clone... kegged it Friday night

 

[raven19]

8 Wired India Red Ale (ira) clone.

Almost a tad thin upfront but it is tasting very nice by the end of the first glass. Need a bit more carbonation. Massive bitterness and some loverly ruby red colours.

Man, these are going down bloody well today

Andrews CPA with awesome POR flowers-



Belgian Saison. About 1/4 of the keg left and it just gets better and better!

 

[Adam Howard]

First pint of Tony's LCBA. Damn this is good. Spot on colour and flavour, possibly needs a touch more late hop for aroma in this glass but no biggy. Best beer I've made.

This is my Westmalle Tripel clone on the left. On the right is the real thing (just got my delivery from the belgian shop). Mine is a little darker in colour but I was so surprised when I compared the two the only difference I could pick is mine was a flyshit sweeter and a little less thick of a mouthfeel but other than that preety damn close.
The recipe is from the homebrewchef.com. Would I make it again? Not the biggest fan to tell the truth and I actually like my version better than the real thing.

Wow! How tastes differ. Westmalle would have to be one of my favourite beers, ever.

Looks great Gav!

Would love a taste if you're ever down in Brissy. Will swap you for unlimited samples at my bar

Cheers

Hey Nick,

When this rain stops i'll be getting my counter pressure bottle filler rig made so I might be able to send a bottle down. If you like it would you be keen to do a keg swap? I have 1 more full keg.

 

[NickB]

Keg swap sounds interesting!

If not, try to make it along to one of the QLD gatherings and we can bring a keg of each!

Or, a few bottles of various brews as a swap would be good too!

Up to you mate!

Mind you, I'm sure Pete would like to be involved....

Now, Back ON Topic...

 

[Paulielow]

My first stout.....

 

[Paulielow]

And my easy pale ale.

 

[Brewer_010]

On a warm Canberra afternoon, my galaxy APA is going down very well

I brewed it in late November with WY2112 California Lager yeast, 100% BB Ale malt, lagered for two months and this has cleared up beautifully and is perfectly balanced - just a little on the grapefruity side.

Cheers

Tricked up DSGA (actually more of an IPA now than a GA) - Rye instead of wheat, a couple of kilos more Trad Ale for an OG of 1.064 and lots more hops, especially fresh wet hops:

10 minute additions
Liquid awesomeness!
It will probably be even better once it is carbed up properly. I gave it a quick force carb and probably sampled too soon, I was keen.

Wow man that must have some serious body to stay in the glass like that

Looks tasty.

 

[Shed101]

A bit of a 1935 Fuller's OBE.

Not quite sure how to describe this as it doesn't really fit styles.

~6.5% complex caramel and ~75 IBU from a bucket load of EKG.

I used BO Pils, Golden Promise, Optic, flaked maize, a touch of roast barley for colour, plus golden syrup and molasses mixture to replicate brewing sugar.

edit: said it was ESB which it most certainly is not

 

[Gar]

WOW! that looks good, I can just about taste that picture..

Any chance of a recipe?

Citra APA on a warm arvo....

Love the hop, but never brewed with it exclusively! Have now! Not bad, slightly light on aroma wise, bitterness spot on for me. Second half of this batch has been dry-hopped with 30g Warrior. Shall taste the differences extensively at some point :icon_drunk:

did you manage to get your hands on fresh wet Amarillo or did you sub the hop?

 

[winkle]

Frigging hot today and for some reason there is footy on.
Time for a hefe.

Oh yeah.
