Love that Barclay Perkins blog. I'm even tempted to brew some Watney's Red Barrel :ph34r:

Meanwhile, only red thing around here is the latest Irish Red

Very unusual for me as it's only about 4.3% ABV but a great lawnmower.

Golden Promise
Caraaroma
Carafa 2

40g Willamette one addition

Wyeast Irish Ale 1084

Brewbright in the kettle, apart from that no gelatine, Polyclar etc.

Edit, just walked back outside to retrieve the glass, glanced at the table and my heart almost stopped. I mean, this is the sort of thing that makes it all worthwhile. :wub:

Must be the season for Irish Reds, here is my effort

Irish Red Lager

Hits the spot perfectly, initial sweet malt followed by a dry roasty finish :icon_drool2: . Might just go pour another pint.






Wouldn't think its the same beer from another angle.

Third day of spring so it's about time to suck on a Biere de Mars, which has had 4 weeks cold conditioning.
Bit cloudy since its the first glass out of the keg but very nice.

It should be pouring nice and clear in a couple of glasses but by then I'll be well and truely munted (6.8%)
 
Very generous of you to share your links with us Andrew. Deadset keen to have a go at those recipes ASAP & to see you Bundy blokes at the Qld Christmas Case. :icon_cheers:
Here's a couple of pics of my latest beers on tap after a couple of months in CC.
First attempt at a Wee Heavy turned out OK with moderate smoke, lots of lacing, & a nice malty finish but perhaps needs fine-tuning.
Latest Best Bitter turned out well considering my limited choice of yeast (1968 London ESB) due to the loss of most of my yeast bank thanks to a dead thermostat.

Bribie might find one of the backgrounds interesting? :p

PS ---- Just saw your Biere de Mars Perry. :icon_drool2:
 
Ta Pete, your ones look tasty as well.
We'll have to swap a few at the Oooktoberfest :icon_chickcheers:
 
Perry........... if your bar towl ever goes missing...... i probably have it :)
 
1st beer out of my kegs, my ESBitsa.

A bit cloudy, due to my impatience :rolleyes: but growing on me.

Nice lace there shed, looks great.
Pete both those beers look delicious, wish I could have a taste.
Bribie your idea of a lawnmower beer cracks me up.
Winkle, that's a style I have never even tried let alone brewed, looks great!

Cheers
Andrew

CPA clone, and very pleasant indeed.

I put this and a Schwarzbier on tap this morning, they are the last beers brewed on my old system. Sort of nice to drink one on a rainy day while brewing a beer on my new brewery. Feeling all nostalgic today :rolleyes:
 
Nice looking CPA Batz how's it compare?

Here you are Shed, this was just edited a little.

Not as good as yours Andrew ;) but not bad anyway.
 
Roggenbier.

Imagin a spicey flavoured Dunkelwizen, nice ballance of clove and bananna, a bit of hop character in the finnish........ but..........

Its vicious....... like thin engine oil :)

Its still not fully carbed but its close. It needs lots of gas to cut the mouth feel which is XXL full.

With the carb up it kind of coats your mouth, then fades quickly like fairy floss to a dry finnish :)

love it!

Edit: I made this for the NSW state comp but work prevented me from getting it kegged and carbed in time :(


Drop one letter, add another, still sounds similiar yet it's completely different...
 
OOOOOOOooooooooo......... is she available for appointments :)
