Whats In The Glass

[bconnery]

Careful deebo,

41% a wheat beer does not make,

a pils with wheat perhaps, but a wheat beer!!!

just sayin.....



looks pretty farkin good,

if we could stay within the guidelines roads would be 3 foot narrower..

Yes it does.there's nothing that says a wheat beer HAS to be a particular percentage
50% is largely used, or more, but nothing anywhere says it can't be 40% or even less...

 

[Deebo]

I was actually trying to make a witbier so I dont know if that technically classifies as a wheat beer. Just happened to have a 2kg bag of wheat so thats what I went with.
Just had look at brewing classic styles and he reccomends 2.49kg pils 2.26kg flaked wheat and 113g munich for a witbier so its not too far off. For a Weissbeer they reccomend 50/50 wheat and pils.

I believe there is some German law or regulation that a beer can only be called a wheat beer (in Germany) if it contains 50% or more of malted wheat. Even BJCP mentions that.

But then again, what would we care about German laws or American guidelines?

I'd call anything a wheat beer that's brewed to be one, no matter how much wheat is in there.

Wasnt having a go at deebo, just a bit of tongue in cheek following recent discussion regarding amount of wheat in wheat beers.

As Florian says under German law wheat beer should be 50% or more, actually i just checked, "wiessbeir" must be 50% or more. but I really dont care.

Certainly wasnt trying to stir up a shit fight, just a bit of Friday night fun.

And should have a large warning attached to the bottle.

Warning this beer contains wheat!

Coopers cerveza, a bit of extra grains and some super alpha hops,
very good for a kit beer.
better than commercial mexican beers...




LJPA, Little John Pale Ale

Coopers APA, marris otter, crystal and a little carahell, a good whack of cascade, simcoe and DR Smurto's home grown chinook....
DELICIOUS... :icon_drool2:

Yes this suddenly became apparent.

Sorry.

 

[Bizier]

Well, it was an all-Chinook pale ale with MO/JW trad/wheat/carahell base...

I had this next to the lounge on the floor while reading, I'm glad I was not so engrossed I discovered it any other way than by sight.

Apologies for the dark photo. Couldnt get enough light.
More of a foodie photo, but there is a Belgian beer there.
The beer is a Belgian Blonde. Yes, darkened over time. We've discussed this before
The Belgian style mussels. Hats off to wifey.
Everything in there besides the mussels are home grown.
Tomatoes, herbs, leeks, chillis, the lot.
Fantastic. Washed down with a Belgian Beer (no matter the colour) made it even more devine.

Oatmeal Stout. Had a few little issues with this but it's turned out pretty well! Particularly on a dreary day after overtime at work.

 

[jyo]

Some fantastic looking beers there guys.

I thought I'd do myself a tasting tray...Left to right- Aussie ale, caramelised date ESB and English IPA with a metric shitload of Styrians late.

 

[donburke]

Perfect day for a stout I reckon. I'm so glad I had the patience to let this sit for a few months. Damn near on the best stout I've done

Edit: so doesn't start with a d

mate, you've left half your toot on the table

Some folks just have no manners what so ever...

Thanks Don, cracked me up! :lol:

 

[Pennywise]

Cheers yum, will lock it in.

A rip-snorter joke, Don. Blew me away, but I think you may have crossed the line.

Yep, all good, Fish! HLT is unscathed.

I think i will call it the G Banger...... combining 2 seperate but common things to make something wonderful

I made a Saison with lots of vienna, and used B Saaz flowers including cube hopping.

I split the 34 liter batch into 2 x 17L cubes and fermented one with 3711 French Saison, the other with 3726 Farmhouse Ale.

They were both good, but the 3711 was a bit bland with mostly lemon in the character, and the 3726 was a bit over the top with lots of funky fruit, so i put them both in a keg together, and carbed it up.

well bugger me..... its something wonderful!
