Whats In The Glass

[TidalPete]

Was the head retention terrible with a 20 min rest? Could also try a higher hopping rate and use a lower alpha hop. hop oils will increase the formation.

Wouldn't say the head retention was "Terrible" but not all I wanted it to be Fourstar. I have been having problems with my head retention on & off for a while now & will forget about a Protien Rest for my next Schwarzer just to see.
Maybe I should blame the missus for my problem because, after all, she washes the glasses. :lol:
Where would a post in this thread be without a pic so here's a repeat of my Roggenbier :icon_drool2: :icon_drool2: the 2nd of which has just been kegged.

That post just made me moist in the loins! Rye... :icon_drool2:

Time to fill up my 1L stein with the crappy partigyle in the previous page. The older it gets the worse it seems to be. The question im asking myself is why ive entered it into the British Ales comp for next week! :blink: Curiosity killed the cat me thinks.

a link that might help. :icon_cheers:

EDIT: oh! a picture, i forgot.. a pic of my Dark Irish Mahogany. I got the Roast Barley mixed up in beersmith and ended up making the recipe with too much for an irish Red and the colour is shot, flavour is awesome though! hoping it goes well in the British ales comp. Was recieved well at the mini club comp. one bloke gave it 43.5/50!

I might be pissed Pete, but why has your glass got tits???

Off to drink La Terrible to see if it has a problem

You're not on your own Perry. Tony reckoned it had tits when he first saw it. :lol:
Just a trick of the light mate?

Yardy,
Perhaps as a sweetner for an invite to Bundy?

Just a little Dark Wheat for a hint of colour.

Young's Special Bitter clone, from Wheeler's new(est) book.
Quite a bit of hop flavour, somewhat fruity with balancing malt and late bitterness.
Served too cold to be sessionable.
Carbonation is quite low, yet a good tight creamy head from the (Brumby) sparkler tap.
The results are good, as it's the first time I brewed this one.
About 4.5 % alc/vol.


Dry stout pic to come, as it's my other beer on tap at the moment.

 

[Adam Howard]

Aussie Pale Ale. 3rd brew. Went back to Kit and bits with this one and it's not a bad drop! The Coopers Australian Pale Ale tin is quite good to add to really.

Looks excellent & well done Nick. :super:
Will it be on tap for your forthcoming brewday?

[NickB]

LOL, thanks Pete! Brewday is still up in the air, and it's likely this particular keg will blow in the next couple of glasses...

Cheers

Mildura Mild. I bastardised warrenlw63's "just a trickle" recipe from the DB.

Looks great. Can't believe how clear this is. No finings/polyclar/filtering needed with 1187 it seems.

Taste though is a little dry. I will mash higher next time i reckon.

Overall very happy with this one.

 

[bconnery]

My fig/Mixed berry lambic. Clarity is shot as I shook it up...
An intense beer this one. The slight sweetness of the fig is fast blown away by the funky aroma and the sour finish.
Very proud to have made this.

My JSAA Clone Attempt

I missed the target on most fronts - OG/FG/Colour/IBU's but in all not a bad attempt (IIDSSM) - probably the standout is how dry the finished product is (1.007) makes it a very defined beer - all the flavours are very obvious - almost chiseled. I will definitely give it another shot - next attempt - OG lower (1.048) - FG the same - more Crystal (dark) for a little bit of sweet to counter the very dry and some more colour - more Willamette late - less bittering hop. Only minor tweaks.

Thanks to Screwtop for the recipe advice.

Thinking maybe Munich II, in place of the I, looks good all the same. Like to see it in a big JS glass :super:
