Whats In The Glass

[adniels3n]

Well, after 4 days carbing in the keg, here she is. The good Drs Golden Ale. 2nd AG beer, but the 1st to be drunk (Operation Mongoose has a month left in the bottles). Suffering from chill haze (Roo_brew: "Did you whirlpool it?" Me: "Well, I made a whirlpool...) Other tasters are a bit unsure what to think at 1st. SWMBO said it doesn't taste like any beers she's had before, but likes it very much. I guess that means i've got the finance approval?

Coopers Irish stout with 1.5kg can of Coopers light liquid malt and steeped 80g of roasted barley.

Probably my best brew yet. Really fantastic. I used a very low priming rate with the bottles, it pours with almost no head (which was planned) and I just use a plastic syringe to get a thick, creamy Guinness like head. :lol:

I reckon! Winter is my favourite time of year, lighting the fire then just sitting in the warmth with a pint of stout... bliss :chug:

My attempt at Belhaven's Twisted Thistle IPA. G.P. ,crystal with Challenger and Cascade with British Ale 11.. Awesome combination.

My Coopers Stout attempt/improvement.

Its creamy smooth, rounder body than coopers, smooth clean roast character and quite enjoyable on a cold day at about 6%

Best part is i have a 50 liter keg of it

I made it with MO, 16% flaked barley, 8.5% Weyermann choc wheat, and a few % of both pale choc and crystal and bittered it up to 44 IBU with home grown POR flowers. Sipping on it its actually more of a Robust porter....... either way its a fine dark ale for a wintery afternoon!

My first partial mash beer and first stout.
Couldn't be happier with how this turned out. I aimed for lots of choc flavours and it's right on the money.
First all grain (AIPA) is fermenting as I type!

Dark Mild 6, kegged yesterday.

Malty, smooth, hint of roast and smoke (handful of peated malt). Yumm. Doing another double of this on Tuesday (long, long weekend for me )





Cheers!

Hmm nothin like a home made stout to go with my home made pie on a chilly sunday whilst brewing up a triple batch of mild.

 

[MitchDudarko]

Brad, that looks delicious!!!

 

[Peter Wadey]

Ummm, beer ?!?!

 

[MitchDudarko]

My first attempt at a mild ~3% ABV, but tasty as hell!

And this one is an IIPA. 9% ABV and 93.5 IBU. These are a one every once in a while beer. Sweet malt and toffee on the nose and palate but balanced nicely with the 93.5IBU.
