Whats In The Glass

Bo Pils

This was the moment i realised that filtering IS worth the effort.

I've brewed pilsners before and after extended lagering, gelatine, polyclar they are amazingly clear.

This was a whole new level of amazing, it sparkled. It's not clear, it's bright.

AMEN!

I love Bo Pils and have some floor malted Bo Pils...... got to order some saaz

great looking beer mate!

Wow, that's a lovely shot Dr S.
Love the bright beer framed by shiny metal.

All I have to offer is today's fresh wort.



Rgds,

Slight variation of a cream ale. Yum.

White Chocolate Spiced Bock
The spices are an approximation of what goes into speculaas biscuits, or windmill biscuits...

The white chocolate character disappeared in the boil, except perhaps a slight butter/vanilla note.
The spices are blending now. I think this beer will be perfect in a few months.

The head dies fast though. It was nice when I poured the beer but ordinary by the time I'd found a half decent photo...

A while ago I brewed a historic mild off an 1824 recipe and it weren't that great after a few weeks. Give it a couple of months and volia...

something pretty close to a smoked brown porter (which the recipe pretty much is) quite tasty really, might have a few pints tonight since no work tomorrow.

Edit: really good with blue cream cheese and crackers :icon_cheers: (but what isn't)

Coopers Sparkling Ale Clone, perhaps a bit too "sparkling", but tastes great.



Cheers

I kept the hops right down, so very wheaty even at just 0.3kg Wheat with just BB Galaxy to make up the remainder of the grain bill. 15g Hallertau @ 60mins for the only hops. Next time I will try a bit less wheat, and bit more hops. Maybe I should think about playing with rice again for these light lagers. Also I used S-189 which I think worked out very well. That's with no gelatine or filtering.

Not as nice looking at that beer sitting on your bar.

What would be good to help head retention?

Here is a pic of my recent batch of Yardy's Black beer (Schwarzbier) for comparison. Brewed on the same yeast.

Looks sensational, Kev, I would suggest Carapils - I even put it in stouts. In a delicately flavoured beer it could possible give a slight 'bready' taste - maybe.

MY REDDEST YET

Irish Red, will be putting this in the State comp if I'm spared

I normally use 200 Carared and 300 Caraaroma but also snuck in some Roast Barley on this occasion coz them nice BJCP guys said I had to

Yep, that's the one, I'm pretty impressed with it. I improvised on the recipe as I didn't have roasted barley. Making plans to try a mid strength of it.

I'd start by dropping the wheat (to clean up the taste), add some rice (I always seem to get a bit more body with rice) and do a 55 protein rest. I wouldn't go too much above 16 IBU in a beer as lite as this or you will end up with bitterness that is too overpowering.
Last of all save some for me to taste.
