Cube Hop Red Ale

It is 40 degrees in Perth today, with a nice fire going on the local hillside. Time for a beer. This is one of the hop cubing experimental batches - I know some guys have had success with this but I've not been super impressed with the results so far. I think there are a lot of variables around the kettle-to-cube dispensing temperature and the cooling rate of the cube, along with the specific volume and hop profile all together make it a bit hard to nail down as a process that works for everyone.

This beer was pretty rough in early days but has cleaned up pretty well, is close to bright, and easy drinking. There isn't a hell of a lot of hops on the nose though, as the american pale ale style goes this wouldn't win any awards in that department. And another brew next to it on the same process was pretty much the same deal, but with unbalanced bitterness that really let the beer down. So I guess it's back to using the chiller - as effective as it is in this weather.

Dent, where are you in perth that you're near the fire? I'm in Bertram, currently bottling a summer hopped saison

 

[dent]

Bellevue, in old timey Eastern suburbs. The saison any good?

 

[drewstertherooster]

Oh, there's a fire near me too. I'll have to wait til it's carbed and refrigerated to find out. Brew day was a series of cock ups that resulted in a severely altered recipe, but it's definitely beer

I brewed a blonde ale not long ago with just ding pils and Vienna ( 84.4% and 15.6% respectively ). 2 tett additions. 1.037 and 15 ibu's. I was going to use US05 but ended up using wlp 004 Irish ale and kept it around 16-18c.

It's bloody nice. This yeast is a cracker.

Cube Hop Red Ale

Such amazing bokeh every time. I think you've been asked before, but what lens is this?

 

[dent]

Thanks. This is just the nikon 28-300, the lens for the lazy man. That one was at f/11 even (I wanted the grass to be discernible). The bokeh is much nicer on the primes I find.

Totally delicious, but a pain to make.

Drinking slcmorro's Dark IPA on a wheat yeast, one of the beers in a Ballarat swap we had a couple of weeks ago.

Maris Otter, Medium Crystal, Biscuit, Challenger and Bobek Styrians, 1469 @ 17'.

I think this is one of my best ESBs. I usually throw too many hops in my ESBs, and I showed some restrain here. 3rd pour from the keg, and I think I may have my chill haze problems under control!

I'm drinking billygoats 6.8% American Stout. Delightful. No picture, but it's extremely well received even one this 30c night. Done a great job. Coffee, rich fruit, chocolate.

Oh ******* hell that looks nice!. I have a cherry berlinner sitting at the moment. I've got a sample bottle which looks the same colour ready for a New Year's Eve taster. If it pours half as pretty as that I'll be happy!

^ ^ WTF.....thats not pilsner malt and 5% carapils....if you get that colour and flavour you must of had some dark malts....what happened??

 

[seamad]

5% caraaroma ?

 

[droid]

hmmn ok well I ordered 5kg of pilsner malt and 250gms of carapils
it arrived uncracked (good) but with the carapils already mixed in...(bad) - I didn't say it was for one recipe and I wanted to do two 2.5kg batches
I tried to separate it and of course after 5mins I thought bugger this for a joke

what say you? how much do you reckon is in there?

 

[droid]

ang ang on - I better check the order...

 

[droid]

it was carafer?

ok so i'm an idiot

 

[dent]

That's a Schwarzbier recipe right there. Surprised you don't like it though.
