Whats In The Glass

[jyo]

Nice, Tony.

I've been brewing most of my APAs with a good 20% Vienna lately and it makes them really shine. I have some columbus on the way so can see what it's all about.

Cheers.

APA

I made my LCBA clone..... but while i was crushing the grain i decided i wanted something with more hops to use up stocks before my new season delivery arrived from the US

So i added 3.5% Carabohemian for color and malt, and doubled the hops with Amarillo and Columbus on top of the NZ Cascade and Bsaaz.
Dry hopped with a hand-full of Columbus.

Unfiltered....... just chilled in primary for a few days and dumped in a keg. Carbed over 48 hrs and its AWSOME!

very like....... LCPA, only a bit better, with more hops.

God you beers look like crap, so disappointing

Its a full on hop with an in your face character, and best mixes with the finer US hops.

I made my Black RyePA with Amarillo and Columbus side by side..... and it was great.

 

[kelbygreen]

you should stop posting pics tony!! as I know for a fact they always taste twice as good as the look so its a insult to the rest of us haha

I'm pretty sure this was my last bottle of my July swap beer. Bire de Noel, Bottled 8/2/12 OG 1.074 FG 1.007

Really happy how this has turned out, balance of spicing/malt and tartness is tops and now is finally a 9.5%ABV quaffer. Pity I consumed the rest months ago
If anyone has not been keen to drink this - do yourself a favour (or return it to me for a more sensible bottle)

 

[Bizier]

I remember an older, more simple time. A time where Tony derided the Yank's penchant for dank hops.

 

[Tony]

Yes i remember those days too...... i just couldn't like them.

But my tastes in beer are ever evolving and I'm enjoying burping up some C hops now and then

.......... like now

My house APA. Centennial, Amarillo
Fresh, (pitched 3 weeks ago) hoppy, clean and crisp. Firm bitterness with just enough malt to hold it together.
Stinking hot, it does not get much more refreshing than this.

My American amber ale with 1469 and hopped with plenty of citra and Amarillo late :icon_drool2: Needs another week to clear but I just racked it to the keg and put it on the engine. So fresh so good.

Traditional Bock. Toasty, chewy and potent. Lovely.

Glad you like it Rook.

I tried a brown ale i brewed a few weeks ago last night. Im sure i added too much grain somehow, but it ended up OG 1.070, instead of 1.055. Anyway, i cracked a bottle last night, and it was bloody nice. More of an old ale really, it's dark with lots of dried fruit flavours, but man, i need to try and make it again. Which is going to be interesting haha.

I deleted my last post from yesterday as I used my iphone to take the photo, but couldnt rotate it 90
So here it is again.
Hefe - big bubblegum and banana - fresh and low on the clove. Lovely drinking on a hot afternoon.
This is what the keno / xmas 2012 winners will be getting.

Hefe with 20% vienna. Bit of bubblegum which is what I was chasing with my first foray with WB06, so happy daze!

That just looks like a lovely beer mate. WB-06 is a great yeast I reckon. Best dry yeast iv'e used anyway.

Haha. Glad you enjoyed it, man.

Thanks, mate. Yeah, I have a pack of 3068 waiting for me, but I will be more than happy to use this in my hefes from now on.

Something that was in the pipeline for a long time. Imperial black IPA or IBA is more correct I suppose. Didn't get the attenuation I wanted from the 1272 but its been about 3 months in the keg and tastes way to smooth for a 10% beer. All centennial to 100 ibu and lots of pale choc and black malt for colour.



Another 3 months and it will be black gold.


EDIT: Not sure why I poor'ed myself a pint i'll be smashed after 1 :icon_drool2:

 

[wraith]

Supercharged with EKG English Mild, Not to style but it's what I wanted to make, a mild with assertive EKG character. Turned out just the way I'd hoped, 3.8% and you wouldn't know it, drinkable as you can get but doesn't feel like drinking a lower alcohol beer.

Simple => it looks better in a pint.
(even if you don't afterward)

What temperature did you ferment at? I don't mind WB06, but I get cloves and lemon without any banana or bubblegum. I get lovely banana bread aromas during fermentation, but they don't seem to make it to the final product.

 

[mckenry]

Another warm evening, another hefe on the deck.

Really enjoying this! I need to do a side by side with the real thing to access the beer fully. No matter, I'll be brewing this one again, the beer looks darker than actually is, colour is about right for a Hobgoblin.

I have two 9lt kegs of this that are going on the beer engine over Xmas, can't wait. :beer:

Hey mate. I fermented at 17'. It's a decent mix of banana and bubblegum, and enough to keep me interested in giving it another go.

Cheers.

 

[mje1980]

Ok its early, but im on night shift, and its just a taste, but im trying my hefe out. ITs only half carbed but its tasting pretty nice. Not as much banana/bubblegum, though there is some there. I underpitched and fermented around 22, so thought it'd be more fruity. Still, the balance is good between fruity and clovey, and the fruit is complex. The wy 3638 is so far a good choice. Finished up at 5.5% so will be good for xmas cheer. Hopefully the mrs will like it hehe . It is highly drinkable. Highly
