Whats In The Glass

[jyo]

What, Nev, is it too hazy to post a picture?

Edit: Ok now I can see the haze. Good shot.

Yeah, I've been giving Nev a few pointers on the side.

Jyo's Guide to Increasing Chill Haze will be available for download soon.


Seriously, this thread is great.

So I got my kegs mixed up and went to pour a pint of what was supposed to be a Brown Ale and this came out. A Stout that I bothered Nev for a recipe. As usual things didn't go to plan and ended up adding 2kg of sugar to a 45L end of boil volume batch to get to 1.080.

I was planning on aging this up while I finished off the Kolsch (maybe two glasses left), then drank a dead guy clone (which i just found out is cloudy and pretty much undrinkable) and then the brown ale. I guess this isn't going to see much aging, but I'm not too fussed because it tastes damn delicious already. I smashed through a pint and thoroughly enjoyed every sip. There wasn't even a "oh, this would be so good if this flavor mellowed out". Really happy with it!

What was the final gravity ? I think 2 kg of sugar would help the drinkability .
Mine pulled a medal at the Perth Royal Beer Show in the Foreign Stout section, wasnt big enough for a Russian Imperial .

After dough in, ensure mash PH is at least eleventy point five to increase chances of haze.

Man, I hope not!

Finished at 1.020. I'll see how I go at filling a growler if I can get some tubing and bring when I drop around before next brew day.

Speaking of haze...

JYO Belgian Blonde

This one, to my palate, sits somewhere between Wit and Wheat. I think it was the Ardennes yeast, from what I recall, which has done a great job. Easy drinking with the yeast character cheerfully at the forefront, which really puts the beer together. A great Belgian ale.

I've been using it as a decoy for the termites instead of my house.

Haze...I call that extremely heavy condensation and very poor photography

That is a nice pic. Cheers for the review, mate.

Midnight Brew's Saison.

Almost crystal clear with a pillowy, persistent head.

Quite a pronounced floral hop aroma with a wheaty, tarty fruitiness.

Dry and prickly mouthfeel due to the high carbonation. More tart fruit from the yeast and floral/citrus hop flavors.

Finishes dry and more hops evident upon burping. Would be a killer summer session beer.

Excellent beer, Cam...cheers !

Double IPA similar to heady topper. Sitting next to a 6 hour slow cooked brisket in coke sauce.

Poor photo I know.

English Pale Ale - sort of how I do my americans but with english hops (so relatively aggressively late hopping).

But.. Big'un, I went a bit overboard with the roasted barley - I just wanted some colour and did a bit of "oh, a little extra won't matter" and so the roastiness comes through.

Still an excellent beer, especially when you use the ghetto micro hand pump (a syringe for kid's medicine) - really works well at a low carb with that. The difference between bottle carbed (still very low co2 levels) and 'hand pumped' is world's apart and really works excellently.

Xxxx gold clone attempt. Glass is a home made headmaster. Even in a normal glass it holds a good head, I just like to see the bubbles working off the bottom so I drink these beers from this glass. Wouldn't dream of putting my uk ales in it!

 

[mje1980]

I might add, I used a nonic because I had 6 of them. After a few months I realised I didn't really need 6 of the same glass. I smashed one, but still, I can only drink out of one, so I used this one for an experiment. I went nuts with a dremel, did the bottom, but also did the bottom 1" all the way around. I reckon the bottom is all that's needed to score up. I had a nice Belgian tulip glass that was awesome kept a great fluffy head all the way. One day while cleaning I realised at the top of the stem, in the bottom of the glass there was a small amount of etching. Ha, cheeky buggers!!. If it's good enough for the Belgians to etch a glass, it's good enough for me!!!

Either way, it's making me thirsty mje1980.
