Whats In The Glass

[Batz]

Hi Batz,

because of winter setting in and the general temps reducing Im going to make a lager. been making ales for ages now and just started secondary for a kolsch so when that has finished its lager time...., can you direct me to the recipe for the Far Kin Lager that you have made?

Dan

Right here Dan, easy azz recipie that will appeal to most people. It's an easy drinking Aussie lager but far better than anything you get at the local, it's one of my ' on tap' beers here, but then I do have 5 beers on tap.

Well I think I worked out what you guys are after in a photo.
Just blew the keg. I called this beer fruity as fire truck.
People enjoyed it.

Coopers pale kit on top of the yeast cake from an AG pale I did and then dry hopped in the fermenter after 4 days with 20g of Nelson and 20g of Mosaic.

 

[sillyboybrybry]

Empty glass.
Just a bit of lacing.
I was sad when I emptied the glass but luckily I have more beer to drink.

Afraid you can't brew one and we'll taste something?

I brew pilsners, lagers, ales and many others. I like to brew all the styles, and I like to drink them all as well. Variety the beer of life!

I kegged my first Far Kin Lager last night. I might just have to throw some yeast at cube number 2 as I can't see this keg lasting.

Nice easy drinking. I've been punishing myself with 60-100 IBU IPAs of late.

Well done on a top recipe Batz.

You got it pal.

And I'll throw in a some commentary and waffling..

I've never really liked wheat beers, but I knew I should, so I persisted.
In the end it was the US to the rescue in the form of cascade hops, strict ferment temp control and keeping it simple.
I cracked the keg on Friday night and have been on a bender ever since. I reckon going 80% for 20% wheat would give a pretty close match to Squires 150.


Easy, peasy.

50% wheat
50% pale
Cascade - 18g @ 60
18g flameout

Mash - 67 deg
Ferment 17 deg with 1007 for a couple of weeks.

Finished about 15 IBU and 5.2 ABV.

And plus 50% saturation? h34r:

Never saw grass that colour green before!

21st Amendment Bitter American Clone

Appearance - Light golden. Thick white head with lots of lacing, lasts to the bottom of the glass

Aroma - Classic juicy American C-hop aroma.

Flavour - Clean, mineral profile, with medium hop flavour. Hops scream classic APA. Carbonation is good. Could use a bit more hop flavour for mine but nice crisp pale ale. Resin like bitterness sticks around on the palate marking it at the US end of the spectrum.

Overall - Nice crisp American Pale, great session beer.

Right then !

I haven't got a leafy glade, squillion dollar SLR or any photography talent on me at the moment, but rules is rules, so...

I may have added a couple of props, I'm not telling which though. Ok, the glass on the microwave is added....don't you judge me !!

Oh, and its an oatmeal stout what I done...full bodied, chocolatey and smooth, thanks to the cool steep of the largely husk-less dark grains.
Pretty happy with this one, a better head retention would be better though.

Yep, thats what happens when you use a 35mm lens wide open on the VIVID setting.

Plus, I live in middle earth.

Say hi to the Hobits

Nice beer mate.

Here's my kristalweizen (or however you spell it). It is actually not filtered, rather high floc though from keg.

 

[winkle]

Friggen cold here tonight, so I tapped the dubbel that has been lying in wait for a few months (about 8).

Damm nice.

Then Adelaide Hills might appreciate my Angry Aragorn Amber Ale that's awaiting it's turn at the taps?
Nice looking beer Dave70 :super: I see you're another Lord of the Rings fan. Woodhill rocks. :super:

AAAA Pic coming soon.

 

[Edak]

Actually how does one get their wheat beer so cloudy? I don't think mine have ever turned out like Daves

I used 40% wheat and some oats too, no clouds..

 

[TidalPete]

After dinner drinks for tonight...

Wrong thread!

Simcoe cube hopped ale. 150g in cube and 75g dry, Only kegged 20 mins ago and very nice. ( a bit cloudy but a day or 2 should fix that )

Big day of kegging beers. The kegerator is full and another 12 and a 1/2 kegs in the fermenting fridge sitting on 2 degrees.

I must have been a bit pissed when I loaded the fermenting fridge a few weeks ago as i still have an American Brown laced with Amarillo in a fermenter and no spare kegs.

There's a couple of pics from 3 weeks ago and a couple from 10 mins ago. A bit mixed up after too many schooners of 8% Centeniel IPA

My mission tomorrow is to drain a keg. V8 Supercars and lots of beer.

 

[Rowy]

Damn you and your commercial fridges!

 

[Smokomark]

I might need help emptying it.
