[Tony]

Noone sees the beer... just the speeling mestake....... nazi's

 

[Tony]

you know i read that and thought....... meh.... no-one will notice.......

 

[jyo]

Looks and sounds amazing jyo. How do you make caramelised date syrup? Is it as simple as it sounds? And would you be able to share the recipe for the beer also?

Cheers

Stef

No worries, Stef. Recipe and instructions on making the date syrup can be found HERE on pages one and two.

It's a beer I'm making again. I should go and get a real Grolsch to compare how it matches. I may up the IBU next time as I find it a bit more lager than a Pils, but I did have 75% eff on this recipe, where I have been getting 85% (including this batch) and didn't adjust the hop additions to suit.

I picked up a 6 pack of Grolsch while I was out today. If you're trying to emulate the real one this recipe needs to change. I would halve the Crystal, and mash at 64c. Then re-assess it .

I think I prefer the one I made

Belgian Pale Ale.

Oh this stuff is addictive...... runs the fine line between body but swill-able, sweet, bitter, malty, dry, buiskety, moreish yum juice!

Pils, Munich 2, brisket, aromatic and special B

forbidden fruit yeast

Tony, you have the sexiest glasses of all AHB members.
What are they, how much do they hold, and where do I get some?

I just hope they're not Swarovski crystal or something posh. They look fragile, and I'm a clumsy, animated drunk.

 

[A3k]

looks like a kwak glass, but not the ones with the timber stand.

i saw them available online a few weeks ago. can't remember if it was ebay or a site that sell belgian beer stuff.
this site has the one with the timber stand.

Coooooorrrrrrrrrect

It is the one with the wood stand but i dont have a wood stand.

It is very thin, very fragile and VERY scary to clean.

holds schooners worth

Pilsner Urquell Clone.



Drinking very nicely on a rainy day with clouds up here in the high country. :icon_chickcheers:

I have a few pilsners in kegs still but, I'll start brewing ales from now on, feels like porter and stout weather to me.

Oatmeal Stout. My first beer with only a first wort hop addition and really enjoying the simplicity.
Williamette at 90 mins FWH. This is my best stout to date....inspired by one of Manticle's recipes.

[tanukibrewer]

Dry Stout,My first good stout with a full on head on CO2,brewed with the usual suspects grain bill and finished EGK and Northern Brewer.Found an addition of Calcium Sulphate to RO water in mash has improved colour and head retention.
