Whats In The Glass

[Tony]

Christened my new birthday riedel beer glasses with Tony's saison. Brewed with 3711. Fermented 6 days to 1003. CC for 2 then filtered into keg. Filter hardly needed cleaning. Glass has condensation, was very bright ( and tasty). First time using brewbrite too.

So..... what did you think of the beer?

Thanks, mate. It's been a few weeks in the keg now and it's really hitting its straps. Drop the wheat if you don't want it in there.

This looks great. Brewing it Friday but with the Wheat replaced with Rye. I'll maybe even up the Rye to be equal to the Munich. Munich plus Rye = :icon_drool2:

Cheers, mate.
I'm yet to brew with rye, (tried some great beers with it though) but that sounds nice. Had a few good comments from this at the case swap on the weekend, which was good. This is the third time I've brewed this with very similar grain bills, and this one with the carafaI is the best so far. Let us know it goes.

Cheers.

Tony the beer is great. The 3711 throws some amazing flavours. Hard to believe it finished at 1003 because it certainly doesnt present that way body wise.

I am looking forward to see how you compare the 2 saison yeats you have brewing. I went with the french as the belgian seems to take a bit of dicking around and i had 2 empty spots in the fridge that needed filling.

I might try the belgian after your comparison when the weather warms up a bit, been a bit cool up on the mountain

Cheers mate

My pre boil gravity was a little higher than anticipated so I upped the hops to compensate. I measured the gravity when I pitched the yeast and it was less than my pre-boil gravity :blink: I think I'd had one too many on that brew day. Anyhow the beer has been in the keg about 24 hours and is tasting very nice. I brewed it to drink on Christmas day. I hope it lasts that long.

The smallest of Hogshead's Saison family "Shootin' Saison"


Pretty much right on 5%, quite lightly spiced with a little sweet orange peel and a touch of grains-of-paradise.
Summer sessions here we come.

(A batch of "Tootin' Saison" is mid boil just out of shot)

If it tastes as good as it looks you've got a winner Perry. :icon_drool2:

[warra48]

My latest AIPA. Picci another day, but already clear, and with a dense head which lasts all the way down.
Bottled only 4 weeks ago, and cracked my first one this arvo.
Defintely yummo, in a BIG way.

And, Santana pumping out of the stereo, hooked up to 4 speakers with lots of watts pushing him along.
What's even better is that all our Santana is part of my collection, but mrs warra put him on! She's a keeper for sure.

 

[pk.sax]

... that saison

the styrians are just yummmm

The ubiquitous DrSGA.
This was the third last glass from the keg. We were all sorry to see it go..

 

[pyrosx]

Lots of first: First AG. First recultured coopers yeast attempt. First keg-hopping (in an attempt to hide a very slight sour acetaldehyde smell - which worked perfectly).

Not at all sure what to call it - was probably sort of close to a CPA before the late amarillo hopping - but it tastes great!

 

[bum]

Congrats! Looks the duck's.

 

[Cocko]

Good work pyrosx! Looks the goods!
