Pils with magnum

8HD_2409_01.jpg


At a recent party one of my wife's friends left the tap for this beer wedged open long enough to pour all over the bar and all over the floor before it was discovered. I was particularly annoyed about this today when I found this beer is actually quite good now. It had a bit of sulfur earlier on but that has all gone away, and the delicate (bittering only addition) hop aroma is the first thing that greets you in the glass.

I'm not really a lager drinker but that looks bloody nice!
 
I just had to change my boxers about two minutes after seeing that.



Here's the keg version of the National comps second place in the Pale Lagers. Australian Standard Lager. CUB will have to take out a hit on me :)

About to hopefully have a bottle of the stout I entered in the BABBs mini-comp ages ago. Took a couple of bottles to work for someone else and forgot about them in the back of our 3rd fridge. A co-worker just found them and asked me if I knew what they were.... almost as good as Florian showing up to that mini-comp with a bottle of the previous batch from a case swap 6 months earlier (I had finished all of my bottles of the original batch before finding out that others thought it was all right, best beer I've brewed and I gave half of it away in a case swap).

Here's hoping that they're still ok despite a bit of unintentional 'lagering'.

Vienna Lager. Matured nicely over the last few months. Might have gone even better in the state comp at this age ;)

English bitter, just got the handpump going again after being overseas for a few months and trying to avoid brewing to get througn stocks. Probably too fresh but why not

drinking this, the 2015; a Vienna and Galaxy smash using coopers yeast. took a while for the strong yeast and hop flavours to mellow out (about 5 weeks) but now they're nice and in synergy.

Nice looking beer there, Fletcher.

I saw the first pic and thought "God, that looks good ! I wonder though, would it look so tasty when photographed from a slightly higher elevation and from slightly further back?"

It does and I need not have worried....

haha nice one. yeah i was posting it from my phone and didn't know whether the first piccy came through or not! :D
 
I'm drinking a 4.5% saison brewed with 3725 beire de garde yeast. It's only a few days in the keg so it's cloudy as ( this yeast hands around a lot ), which is why there no pic haha. It's quite nice. I prefer it to belle saison. Not as lemony, but fruity and tart. Bit more character too. I brewed this for Xmas. I hope it lasts that long!!

I just got some 3711 so I'll compare it to that in a few weeks.
 
Double black IPA. 1.2 kg of hops and a kg of caraaroma with Pearl base malt in 45 liters. Gravity 1.080 and 1kg of D180 candi syrup.

Zythos APA.

I'm not sure I'm sold on Zythos, it's not a bad beer by any means, just not really what I was expecting.

Bo Pils.... Clarity is good, drinking far too well.
 
Choc Raspberry Porter (sorry ****** photo)

Raspberry aroma is amazing, could be a bit more chocolatey.
