On a warm Canberra afternoon, my galaxy APA is going down very well

I brewed it in late November with WY2112 California Lager yeast, 100% BB Ale malt, lagered for two months and this has cleared up beautifully and is perfectly balanced - just a little on the grapefruity side.

Cheers

Tricked up DSGA (actually more of an IPA now than a GA) - Rye instead of wheat, a couple of kilos more Trad Ale for an OG of 1.064 and lots more hops, especially fresh wet hops:

10_min_additions_small.jpg 10 minute additions
DrSGA_IPA_small.jpg Liquid awesomeness!
It will probably be even better once it is carbed up properly. I gave it a quick force carb and probably sampled too soon, I was keen.
 
This is my leffe brune clone after a week in bottle (too early but was my first bulk prime and wanted to check it worked) tasted effing awsome tho :) plus my first in the glass post

Wow man that must have some serious body to stay in the glass like that :D

Looks tasty.
 
A bit of a 1935 Fuller's OBE.

Not quite sure how to describe this as it doesn't really fit styles.

~6.5% complex caramel and ~75 IBU from a bucket load of EKG.

I used BO Pils, Golden Promise, Optic, flaked maize, a touch of roast barley for colour, plus golden syrup and molasses mixture to replicate brewing sugar.

edit: said it was ESB which it most certainly is not

Citra APA on a warm arvo....

Love the hop, but never brewed with it exclusively! Have now! Not bad, slightly light on aroma wise, bitterness spot on for me. Second half of this batch has been dry-hopped with 30g Warrior. Shall taste the differences extensively at some point :icon_drunk:

did you manage to get your hands on fresh wet Amarillo or did you sub the hop?

Ha ha ha, I wish! (along with MANY others). It is a proprietary hop. Rhizomes are not available to the home brewer. I made extra additions, see below.

As I said, it was a DSGA with extras and subs.
DrSmurto's Golden Ale would normally be: 50% Pils, 20% Munich 1, 20% Wheat & 10% Caramunich 1

It started with subing Traditional Ale for the Pils, Rye for the Wheat and Heritage Crystal for the caramunich but at the same proportions and for the same purposes. Then I threw a couple of extra kilos of base malt (Trad Ale) at it because there was space for it and it was then not to those proportions anymore. We were drinking before mashing in... :party:
