Whats In The Glass

Yeah, two beers are better than one.

My first Hefeweizen. 50/50 pils and wheat. I used bohemian floor malted pils and underpitched dry wb06 @ 17c. Grain to glass in 7days, great banana aroma.

Looks great Pratty, I know that is what I feel like.. but I'm trying to avoid buying beer to get my act together brewing my own!

Wheat quaffers like this cost $30 and really quench the thirst.

P.s. buying beer is research

 

[Wilkensone]

Well seeing as it's research I guess I shouldn't miss out should I?

Also seeing as tomorrow in Perth is a lovely 44 DEGREES :blink: I think beer is needed.. life is hard..

Coffee Dunkel

This one is a blend. A batch from the cube malting experiment resulted in a strange pale lager with this massive roasted coffee aroma. It was pretty awesome, but a bit overwhelming to make to the beer truly enjoyable on its own. So I filled a keg 1/2 and 1/2 with a regular munich dunkel recipe. The combination is actually really appropriate - the coffee aroma matches wonderfully with the rest of the dunkel malt character, and is still a really quaffable beer.

Still haven't figured out what to do with the other half of my batch of "Crystal Pepsi" though.

looks bloody awesome mate. how much did you underpitch? i've only made one hefeweizen, recently too as I'm drinking it now, and used the weihenstephaner yeast. I've got a pack of WB06 lying around though so I'd be keen to compare them.

 

[Dan Pratt]

Hi Fletcher,

I only used 1 packet of fermentis wb06 directly pitched into 19lts of wort at 16c and let it rise to 17 for ferment.

Black IPA FWK

 

[angus_grant]

Well here is my first glass of the "biere de mois". Nice tart taste and not too over-powering. I think a slight touch more saaz next time to add a little more spice.

I didn't filter this one so a bit hazy but I like that about this beer.

Still a few days off being carb'd properly but already very smashable. It's around 6% so a bit stealthy.

Bloody hell this is lethal.
And too damm easy to drink.

Barrel aged Belgian Imperial Chocolate Stout. (Same batch as the swap)

Still haven't tapped my keg, Perry.

Do you reckon it got any better?

 

[winkle]

It'd be at its peak about now I guess. I must return that keg too.
