I should take a piccy of the pyment im drinking. So clear. Carbed at 200psi. Just like sparkling wine. Great flavours but oh so potent. Needs another 3 months I recon.
Edit. Actuallynno need for a pic. Its looks like nicks rice lager just slightly more golden and bubbles exploding everywhere like champaigne.

Geez Pete! Lots of assumptions there.... And you know what you do when you assume.... ;)

It's a 'Asian-style' lager because of the 20% Rice. Wyeast 2124 Boh Lager was the yeast. The hops are Mt. Hood (US). Not really a US hop being from English parentage, but still.

Tasty!

;)
Hey Nick,
You are correct in assuming that my assumptions are assumptions. :blink: \
Have never used Mt Hood but your Lice Rager gives me an idea seeing that I have 450g of the stuff socked away in the freezer.
You are an inspiration mate. See you a Winkles. :party:
PS -- Have seen all your latest posts.
 
You stalking me again Pete... ;)

This year's homegrown Chinook wet ale, It's amazing! Even if I do say so myself :p
There is something extra special about brewing with hops you grew yourself with their own unique hop flavour/aroma that wouldn't be the same grown anywhere else, It's also got me hooked on wethopping, I can only do it once a year with my own, wish you could buy wet hops locally so I could try it with other varieties!
And yeah the surface wasn't very even haha.

My light barleywine. Hopped to 100 IBU and the hop taste has almost already gone.

Only a week in the stubbie,grossly undercarbonated and the pic doesn't do the red colour justice.

Slightly oaked....

Drinking in the bathroom eh? The tastic does provide instant satisfaction this time of year.

really happy with how this one's smoothed out. the combination of hops tastes seamless in the one taste hit. i can't take a decent beer pic to save myself! the beer's clearer than this terrible phone picture :)

I was drinking this last night, but I thought I might put it on here just in case anyone was interested in Victorias Secret.

The flavours of this hop I get are woody, peppery and a little floral. Mostly floral aroma but there is something else there I can't put my finger on. An amazing bitterness that, luckily, is well balanced in this beer but it is smooth and lingers. I haven't had a better example of that lingering smooth bitterness than from this hop.
I've read somewhere this is similar to galaxy, I believe it is nothing like galaxy...

This is also the first time I've used BRY-97 and it seems to have cleared up nicely already, not a big fan of the slow start though.

This one I've called Victoria Bitter APA

Yep, I'll gather up my notes and PM it - it involves roast the buckwheat for some of the colour.

Your photo sums that up nicely for me. Damned nice stump!

No, seriously, all you guys living in tranquil bush settings are arseholes and I am jealous.

Apricot sour ale now on tap to replace the naughty XH Ale.

Has cleaned up a bit, slightly thin but sessionable. -_-
 
By no means does my cheap foldable party table and mouldy BBQ compare to jezza's thick stump, but here are my offerings:

2 week old ANZAC Ale. First cube was fermented with Cooper's recultured, this one is with British Ale II. I prefer this one.

Found a keg with some dregs of this Dark Mild. I love this style.

Cheers, mate. Next time I will drop the golden syrup to about 5%.

Old Ale that is now 2 years old. Bottle conditioned and around 9%. This has now come of age. Great sherry/port notes and very easy drinking - dangerous!

Goomba's Lord Nelson Cascading out of this Galaxy. I was told the wrong mash temp so this was mashed at 71 degrees so a bit sweet as it finished out at 1020. Has never held a head either.

6 days of 20g Citra keg-hop... :icon_drool2: :super: The Citra has improved a fairly standard beer due to incorrect mashing temp. yay to keg-hopping!!!

The correctly mashed version went in one day at a party for our little boy's 1st b'day. So I didn't get to savour it at all. Damn free-loaders. I will h ave to make it again.

Looks the goods! I aged an old for nearly 4 years. Was really top notch after 2 years, went a bit south after 3. It was very interesting tasting it age. I started drinking a bottle after 6 months, then one every 2 or 3 months after that. At the 2 year mark, it was time t tuck in! The raisin, the fruit, the smooth roast, the port, damn, wish I'd made one 2 years ago now.. Mine was around 7% and that was pretty dangerous. 9 must be a real sipper.
Enjoy it!

And you can have more than one, as it's low abv% as well.

Nothing to offer this thread (my tablet fried on a bad power point at someone's place :( ). So thanks Angus for doing it de-facto for me.

I'm going to have small Barleywine. Currently imbibing a SN Bigfoot Barleywine, which is almost a dead ringer. Not bad for a stuffed up (due to water cut) experimental beer.
 
I'm on a Vienna / Citra SMaSH, it's really nice but I have to admit I enjoy a more american style hop like chinook. I've got an Irish red ale in the keg too but as I only have the one tap that would mean opening up the fridge and changing over the line and that all sounds like a lot of effort.
 
This years Biere de Gard.
