Whats In The Glass

My latest Belgian Dubbel.
I'm pretty much in love with this beer.

cheers
Al

I have a dubbel right on 3 months old in the " cellar ". I thought it was good at 6 weeks, but at 12 weeks is so much nicer. Hardest thing is letting them age without drinking them!. Looks very nice mate

My New World Wheat. After a long afternoon putting in a watering system for the hops.

48% pils
48% wheat
1% caramalt
1% acidulated

30 IBU's of centennial, mount hood and summer saaz.

Hits the spot.

Ok only 12 hours in the keg so it has not cleared as yet, but I was impatient to try this one.

My first APA using my Hop Rocket, bloody beautiful :beerbang: I used Cascade because I know the lady so well, next time I'll get a little more adventurous and try a mix. I used 85gm of flowers and passed 55lt through the Rocket. It'll be interesting to see if one batch (the first) has more oomph than the other. Unfortunately ATM I don't know which batch went through first.

Yeah i'm struggling not to drink all of mine. It's only at the 6 week mark in the keg (although there was a decent conditioning phase before that). Luckily i made about enough to fill 24 bottles too, so i'll be restrained on those.

I ended up buying a big order of candi syrup, so i'm planning on making a few batches of dubbel/BSDA, then aging them. i figure if i have a few, i'd be less inclined to dig into them.

Cheers

I did half a 500ml bottle in mine but i reckon ill do a full bottle next up. How much do you normally go for a single batch?

 

[A3k]

Hi mje,
this current batch i used just over half a 500ml bottle too. I've previously used a whole bottle. It didn't work very well, but i think that was due to other problems more so than too much syrup.

I have a shipment of syrup coming in soon, so i'm going to start trying some ot the recipes here: http://www.candisyrup.com/recipes.html

Cheers,
Al

Hey,

You have probably seen them in the "Recent Gallery Images" but couldn't resist...

Brewed a swag load of beer (7 kegs worth) for my engagement party this weekend. Couldn't resist pouring out a few tasters into my paddle...

Venezeulan Choc Porter, Engagement Ale APA, Off-season Saison, Reunification Altbier..... Eddie the Boxer Dog, Me!


What they would look like without the 2 months lagering....

I've said it before but I really must stop looking at this thread during work hours.

Isn't that what work is for?

 

[syl]

LOL!!! Looks like 4 of us had the same idea at the same time. Knock off can't come soon enough.DAMN YOU JEREMY!!!

The trouble was having a couple of Vale IPAs at lunch, then thinking I could just "work" for a few hours afterwards. Camel, meet Straw. Straw, Camel.

Severely off-topic, but Bacchus is no longer sold in SuperWhatnot. Where else in the city can I grab some interesting beers? Have 30 minutes or so to kill while waiting for wife to get into town. Should say this will be about 5:30 or so

Too much of a stretch for my "What I would like to see in my glass" post being on topic.

 

[mje1980]

**** yeah. Just finished a weeks training while rushing home to pick up kids from school to feed and bath them ( wife working full time for a few weeks ). Finished today and though i normally don't drink too much im up for some relaxing de stress liquid.


If I can work this bloody IPad out ill post a pic of my pale mild fermented with beire de garde yeast. If it doesn't work, just imagine a pale mild looking beer hahaha

 

[mje1980]

Fingers crossed!

 

[mje1980]

Well it worked, and it proves I have no photographic skill whatsoever haha. Either way beer is bloody nice if I do say so myself. I plan on having a few of these, a few saison stouts, and finish off with an orval. I'm tempted to use the dregs in the secondary of something.

Simple photography tip: put the sun behind you, not behind your target :lol:

I'm just jealous I don't knock off for another few minutes...
