Whats In The Glass

[winkle]

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.

Your plan for tomorrow has much merit

Calm down Yoda you've got next Saturday to get through!

It's an ESB, but I like the sunset tonight.

Testing kegs tonight for possible swap meet appearances.

Schwarzbier. Don't ask for pics, between my phone, my slow arse laptop and the iPad, it's not worth the frustration.

Anyway, it is smooth as silk, and so drinkable. Smooth choc malt flavour and aroma. Not a hint of sulphur or green apple, just beautiful. I used 2278 and pitched a 4 litre starter at 6c, then fermented at 8-10c for 3 weeks. I was planning on carbing, then leaving, but I just had to taste it tonight ( just finished carbing ). Bloody nice. Will do another for sure for summer.

I'm quite proud of myself, and think I will have another or two.

I will try to post a pic tomorrow,as it is porterish in colour and pretty clear. Very simple grain bill, roughly 52% best Munich, 42% best pils, 4% pale choc, 2% acid malt. Hallertau 60, and 1 minute. 55-10, 60-30, 70-30.

[Bribie G]

I read that as "porn crust" for a moment there.

Hey I just sloshed some apple juice in a pint glass to backsweeten some draught cider, hit the wrong tap and got a pint of Australian Pale Ale ( 150 lashes tribute).

Waste not want not - actually it's surprisingly good, sort of like a radler having a bad hair day but I don't mind it at all. Try it.

My first brew since a 20 year hiatus from home brewing, a Coopers Best Extra Stout clone, at 5 weeks in the bottle, finally starting to look and taste like a stout:

 

[Bribie G]

Looks fantastic. Stout is a great brew to start off with, it was my first beer brew after over 20 years out of the game as well. Difficult to stuff up a stout.

 

[Dunkelbrau]

Say down to some of my first AG brew last night! Bloody good!

 

[tanukibrewer]

Looks good Markjd.mmmm stout

 

[Thefatdoghead]

American Pilsner. Nice and cold beer by a warm fire.

Still can't work out how to rotate from the iPhone sorry

 

[mje1980]

Monteiths IPA. If you like massively hopped high alcohol IPAs don't get it. However, I really like this, it's smooth, malty with a nice hop presence. Would be a great session beer. Love to have something similar as a house beer.

Clone of Three Floyd's Zombie Dust. 220g of Citra in a 19L batch

Recipe here

Appearance - Pours with a dense white head that holds. Golden orange in colour, very cloudy

Aroma - Put your nose in a fresh bag of Citra

Flavour - Medium filling mouthfeel, juicy malt, hop BOMB. Orange citrus, tiny bit of spice. Carbonation is spot on, just takes the edge off the malt. Unbelievably balanced for so much hops and such a young beer (been in the bottle 2 weeks). Bitterness is firm but doesn't linger too long. This is an amazing recipe, full kudos to the genius on homebrewtalk who came up with it. My wife LOVES this beer and she usually goes for lighter pale ales/wheat beers.

Plan to brew the same recipe but with Mosaic in a month or so.

Stew

PS. Apologies for the photo, I really gotta clean my fingernails!
