Whats In The Glass

[leahy268]

and 10 minutes later..



Seriously the nicest beer I've ever created..

 

[Spork]

First SMaSH.
First time brewing "my own recipe".
Good aroma and flavour.
Good head retention and lacing on the glass.
Could be brighter, but not too bad (IMHO).
Pretty easy to drink.
Happy.

My first extract, a wannabe S&W Galaxy Ale. Ended up CC'ing it for 2 weeks as it was cloudy from the fermenter, but in retrospect it was a bad idea as most of the awesome passionfruit/pineapple aromas achieved by dry-hopping were pretty much lost (remaining volume that did not fit into the cube was bottled pre-CC'ing and had dominant aromas :icon_drool2: .)

Nevertheless, my glass seems to be empty a lot - like a reverse magic pudding...

First time uploading a 'what are you brewing' pic.
I love this beer and am sad too see it nearly finished. Oh well... brewed another ESB today with more hops, more crystal and more caramelisation!

Here is another one of those crappy looking BIAB beers.

Its very close grain bill to Dr S light amber ale in RDB, i got better than expected efficiency, so mine turned out to be 4.2% and i used Centennial, Amarillo and 1272
Its got reasonable character for lowish ABV beer. :icon_cheers:

I rarely ( almost never ) drink out of a schooner glass, but i brewed an "aussie" amarillo pale ale, mainly for a yeast cake for a 10 minute AIPA, and it is a pretty nice easy drinking beer. I normally do an american wheat, or a UK blonde for an easy drinker, so its a little different for me, but im very happy to drink this while i wait for my koelsh to condition, and my AIPA to carb up ( bottle ).


Had to edit as i couldn't get them to load, but now figured it out!

 

[mje1980]

Try another way. Carrying of from another thread about US05 and diacetyl, this beer has a honeyish like aroma, but i used 8% TF pale xtal, and also 3% of aromatic malt. I really like the aroma and flavour malt wise ( hops are pretty bloody good too! ), so im not sure if tis diacetyl, or the aromatic malt. Either way i really like it. I dont get a similar aroma when i brew UK ales, and i brew shitloads, so i think its more likely the aromatic. Who knows. Fun to find out though!!

 

[Lord Raja Goomba I]

I reckon it's TF FM malts that give the perception of diacetyl (real or imagined). It's fantastic in APA, that little bit of mouthfeel accompanies the hops nicely, IMHO.

I don't get that same slickness with Bairds malts.

[mje1980]

I use TF FM MO a lot and dont notice it in UK ales. But an APA is different. From my beer soaked memory i normally use BB pale or pils malt for my APA's though so you may be onto something there. Im still leaning towards the aromatic. I haven't used it much in UK ales yet.

 

[Fish13]

having a morgan old kit with goldings hops.

Not to bad but missing the coffee taste i am after

Mates like it though down to 10 long necks and been in the bottle since the 28 sept

Details from beersmith below. I ended up using dried peel from 4 navel oranges for the orange peel. I'd like to get some bitter orange peel for the next one. It's ok, but I think it needs another week or 2 in the bottle and some warmer weather.
