If it tastes half as good as it looks then it's delicious. Care to share the recipe?

First BIAB & AG brew. Was meant to be an Dark Mild Ale, but ended up being more over a Porter (overdid the roast barley! Tried to fix this on the next one and ended up over hopping so its tasting like a Black IPA, that photo is yet to come!) Strong chocolate notes, low to no aroma, nice head formation, slight bitter taste at end demanding just one more sip! Deep ruby on edges, very dark overall.

 

[Lodan]

Good stuff ArgM, where do you think you went wrong?

Some of my first ag biab were lower og than expected, on one occasion i added to much water and on others i had overestimated my boil off

 

[ArgM]

First one could potentially have been from too high a mash temp 74', or from ordering 300g of extra roasted barley in the bag than I was meant to
The second one was from a desire to get it a bit hoppier and over did it. Both still are great beers, I'm doing 12l batches so its not to much of a biggie haha
The OG was slightly higher than expected but that was because I was aiming for a reasonably low OG, cant remember the number off the top of my head... final products about 4.3%

This is last night's beer before you smart alecs say anything about starting early

American Pale Ale, not bitter enough for an IPA. Crap photo, a little more reddy-copper in real life.

I've undercarbed this, which I seem to be in the habit of doing. I'm wondering if I'm underdoing the temp on the carb calculator. Or it could be that it's all twist-top bottles. Wish I had kegs!

Good beer otherwise, punch, aromatic. New hop combo with some hops I've either never used or only once. A much broader fruit range (so rather than Citrus, passionfruit and a bit of something else, it's more like stonefruit (especially peach), melon, citrus, passionfruit and a faint strawberry whiff on the nose and palate.

I think with a better carb level and probably a little less maltier base (I used Maris Otter, not sure what I was thinking that day), this would really be a fantastic beer.

Munich lager.

Last glass and a half of this Stoned IPA. Loosely based on the Stone IPA. Had it last night but was too distraught too post. We had some good times together...

 

[Blitzer]

Is that the Ruination IPA recipe listed on craftbrewer? I've had a batch carbing, just wondering how yours tastes?

Such soft, delicate hands. Beer looks purdy too.

Nah. Got this one from the IPA book by Mitch Steel. Has actually given me heaps of good tips.

 

[Danwood]

Just ordered the Stone book. Looks to be some crackers in there, and a good read too.

[lukiferj]

Its a cracker man. So many recipes.

 

[Danwood]

I actually ordered from Book Depository, where I've had CAMRAs Complete Guide To Homebrewing Ed 3 on pre-order for (and I shit you not...ALMOST 3 YEARS !!!).

Anyway, I lost my rag after soooo long, and got the credit transferred to the Stone book.

Kinda sours my CAMRA relationship. God knows what's going on with their book ???

Anyway, back to topic...
