nothing like a wheat beer "andrew" light in hops..enjoyable
 
Schwarzbier fermented with US05 for 14 days. Even the wife likes it. I am sure it has many faults but I can't tell so am happy

Just gassed up the saison. Im calling her Buffy the Saison Killer as she is a funky, tart and spicy girl... oh and with a big citrus (tangerine) and hop hit.

My 'sessionable' saison turned out at 7.8%...

Its a really funky taste, and im not sure whether its the herbs, the Belle Saison yeast at 24C, or an infection...
 
I think it is. But being the first time I have used this yeast I'm not familiar with the flavour profile.
 


mosaic apa - tasty, got a similar two fermenting one that's mosaic, citra, galaxy and the other mosaic and citra

fyi nizmoose this was bottled not long after coming out of the fridge at 4degC then bulk primed into a room temp keg and then room temp bottles and popped in the pantry - 60gms table sugar for 20ltrs, carbonation looks just about right to me
 
That looks great Droid. I love Mosaic, did an all Mosaic IPA, it is going to become my house IPA for sure.

Shelter My Pale Ale - APA. One of my best brew's. Full of Citra, Galaxy, Cascade and Amarillo.

Have really struggled to get hop flavor and aroma into my beers so tried the 0 min addition at 80C method. Am amazed at the difference. Will need to do a few more brews to confirm but the initial test worked a treat!!

Cheers Jefin
 
My Hefe is back from the dead! Aka: I forgot I also bottled some.. Quite a pleasant surprise and perfect beer for the warm arvo, probably one of my best brews so far, the 3638 yeast is amazing at 17-18!

Also just mashed in an Centennial Red Ale I'm making for my brother, so due to my labor intensive method of mashing in, this glass is almost gone.. Will have to search for some more!
 
Harry, don't you dare finish off that Hefe before I've had a chance to get over there and try it!

...mine is in the bottle and will be ready in 2 - 3 weeks. We'll do a comparison.

Cascara IPA while watching Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks. Life is good.

All good I believe I have 5 bottles left (hopefully), also have a stout, a mild and rye saison for you as well.

Comparison sounds good though, will be interesting to see the differences

Plague of vinegar flies after all the rain, need a glass protector to stop the suicidal feckers.

American Amber Ale 5

OG - 1.052
FG - 1.011
ABV - 5.4%
IBU - 37 ( whirlpool hops not included )
EBC - 29

Malts

66% Ale
15% Munich
6% Carared
6% Medium Simpson Crystal ( 60L )
6% Flaked Oats
1% Choc Malt

Mashed @ 34c/20m, 67c/60m, 78c/30m ( 34c is for the oats )

Hops

Citra @ 60m - 15 ibu
Amarillo/Centennial @ 10m - 14 ibu
Amarillo/Centennial @ 5m - 8 ibu
Amarillo/Centennial & Citra Whirlpooled for 5mins - 21g each

Fermented with Cal 001 Yeast @ 19c

Dry hopped with 21g each - Amarillo, Centennial & Citra for 7days

Its a great balance of malt and hops. :D

Just to clarify what changed from the Nats beer to this one......

removed Caraaroma - it was getting in the way of the hop aroma
replaced it with carared - carared is only 20L
increased the munich - due to the caraaroma deletion, increased munich from 10% to 15%

Changed bittering to Citra
Added Citra to the Whirlpool
Replaced all cascade with Amarillo.
Added amarillo to the WP.

Let me know if you make this and how it turns out.

My Foreign Extra Stout kegged on Sunday and carbed up just in time for a sneaky taste for St Patrick's day.
First Stout I've made and got 1 keg, 15 long necks, and 40 stubbies from a double batch.
7% too so it should last the winter.... I hope.
 
Put a few aside and forget about them until the following winter...if you can...
 
I'm going to take the keg out of the kegerator and store it in another fridge to make way for an IPA this weekend and have 2 fermenters full of my house APA so I shouldn't have too much trouble hiding 12 stubbies and a couple of long necks away til next year.
 
Belgium strong dark ale, only four weeks in the bottle after massive cold crashing, still needs a lot longer but coming along nicely.

First use of one of the glasses the missus got me for my birthday too!

Phone always makes my photos sideways on here..
