Proof is in the drinking..

Cube malt experiment - Kolsch. This one was one of four cubes that got a different variety of specialty malt in the cube - this one was 250g Aromatic.

This cube proved its utility on the day I kegged the last Kolsch I brewed, and I had a tempting cake of yeast sitting there - what the hell, eh?

For whatever reason the Kolsch yeast character seems to get stronger with every batch I run through it. The irony is, the first few beers I ran through the yeast, attempts as geniune Kolsch recipes, I was not very fond of. Not bad, but not great. But the dodgy cubes I dump in there seem to turn out great.

This one has a lot of yeast character - not the usual estery-fruitiness-crap from an abused yeast, this one just gets into tasty mode. I can't say the aromatic malt has done a lot for this, but then again if it wasn't there, it might be a somewhat dull beer. It gets more easy-drinking as it warms. I wonder why that is?

I don't think I'll let it sit long enough this time though.

Saison. It's just been legged, so there's a bit of yeast haze. It tastes like summer, though!

Mate this is a great idea. Have I missed something on the forum? Did you just crack a few hundred grams of spec and throw it in the cube?

 

[dent]

Didn't you hear? They got malts in cubes now.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

So I did miss something amidst the bs. Thanks.

Formulation tweak on the 2012 AABC IPA Winner. Basically subbed the Wheat LME for wheat malt to take a way a touch of body and some oxidation that seemed to come from the LME.

Hydro at bottling seemed a bit thin, was worried I might have lost balance but it has turned out very well. Very happy. Basic outline of recipe below.

Thanks.

Interesting to compare our two photos. Mine is all Aussie backyard - foliage, bricks and Colourbond. Yours is the bright lights and heights of the inner city.

Who needs to go to Church to look, in wonder, through a stained glass window?

 

[BottloBill]

Not bad for three weeks in the bottle! Made from $5 tin of tooheys special draught, left over medium crystal, carapils, wheat and US 05.

 

[Bribie G]

Nice one Bill, bet you wonder why you didn't get into this game earlier :beerbang: :beerbang:

I'm into my Helles, my first lager. It's the reason for my rampant noob posting tonight. A little diacetyl, but malty goodness nonetheless. I never knew how good pale lager could be until I went to Munich and had Augustiner Lagerbier Hell. If anyone knows how to get that in Oz please let me in on the secret! I've never seen it outside Germany. Weihenstephaner Original is on just about on a par though as well, I am simply in awe of that brewery.

Not that my swill is anything close, but it goes down the spout very well on a summer night and looks the part.
