my Alt... brilliant
 
Posted this twice, my clone and a side by side comparison of the Traquair House Jacobite Ale. Mines on the left and has a slightly higher carb. Theirs is on the right and is delicious, hard to tell them apart really. Mine wins though, I can make 20 liters of it for the cost of two of their stubbies. The joys of Home brewing...

PS. If you're in the NSW special case swap you're getting the one on the left.

Hmmm now I'm thirsty again. That ale looks like it should belong on the counter of an old english pub with big beams on a low ceiling designed for short people.

Well Butters and I are not 6ft, so I guess we fit that description! :icon_cheers:
 
Scuse the poor focus but this is my biggest surprise of 2011 - my Chinee Lager with new season Chinese Saaz from GLS himself.
It's scrubbed up fantastically but as I've discovered needs a month of lagering to come real good.

None of the throat stripping bitterness of the 2009 batch and this reminds me of quaffing a Carlsberg. Mild clean aroma, pleasant mid-tongue bitterness, And I've got a kilo of the stuff, :) will be doing this one as a house beer from now on.

Well I cant make it to the brewday so I may as well do a bit of QA on the keg I filled yesterday after it had been crashing at 0/1 deg for a 10 days.

Tried the Traquair a couple of weeks ago. Really nice. Any chance of sharing the recipe?

thanks
 
Can you elaborate on what you included and did what with etc??


Ingredients were:
1.7kg Coopers English Bitter Kit
500g Light Dried Malt Extract
400g Brew Enhancer 2
And a few table spoons of treacle
Made to 23 litres and fermented at 18C with the kit yeast
Everyone who has tried it loved it, and have commented that it has no 'homebrew' taste :) It actually has some nice hop aroma, without any additions.

Its great having temp control! From fermenter in cupboard and hope for the best, to kits with temp control was a big step in quality.

Very nice! I just brewed this kit up with 2kg of Marris Otter and 300g of Medium Crystal. Chucked in 30g of goldings towards the end of the boil. Pitched wyeast 1099. It is still carbonating, but I shall have photos up soon :) .
