The last bottle of my dark Scottish ale, an attempt at an Isle of Sky Brewing Co. Black Cuillin.
Roasty malty goodness with rolled oats and honey in it but no hint of honey flavour that I would have liked.
another picture just to show it's colour.

My "English IPA".

uploadfromtaptalk1401880947920.jpg my Kolsh. Looking up at a recent pcb update to my brau.

Was that filtered, fined or just cold crashed/lagered? Or some mix of the 3, that is amazing clarity.

I'm currently umming and ahhing about a filter for my cream ales and the occasional pale lager (don't really care too much if the other styles I brew have a bit of haze).
 
IF you are filtering, I find to be the most important factor in getting it ultra bright is getting the beer as cold as possible.

On the other hand, filtered Kolsch is cheating. ;)
 
No filtration. Just cold conditioning. Only kettle finings used. No cheating for me unless BM counts as cheating ;)
 
SN Ruthless Rye IPA clone and my first IPA - not too bad, tastes good, aroma is even better! Has no hops between FWH and whirlpool, I think it'd benefit from some 20, 15 and 10 minute additions.

Nice beer, how long was the whirlpool for and how much of what hop?
I just whirlpooled as normal (I think!), so these hops were in for about 10 minutes before I started running water through the chiller, and about 40 - 50 mins all told. Recipe as follows,

Ruthless Rye - American IPA 23L
ABV 6.71
OG: 1.062 FG: 1.011
IBUs 54.0 Colour: 29.4

Grain
5.79Kg pale malt
0.94kg rye malt
0.75kg crystal
0.06kg chocolate malt

Hops
33.7g Bravo (14%AA) First Wort Hop - 54 IBU
36g Chinook (11.4%AA) flame-out - 0 IBU
21.6g Amarillo (10.1%AA) flame-out - 0 IBU
21.6g Columbus (12.3%AA) flame-out - 0 IBU
43.1g Citra (dry hop)
14.4g Columbus (dry hop)
28.7g Chinook (dry hop)
14.4g Amarillo (dry hop)

Electric IPA

Warrior @ 60m to 40ibu
Amarillo/Centennial @ 5m to 22ibu
Citra & Crystal Dry Hopped for 8 days

Excellent IPA - the smell of citra/crystal on the nose is pungent (28g) and the smooth flavour of the A/C combo, then great bitterness from the warrior that sits for a bit. :icon_drool2:

That looks great Fletcher. What was your malt and yeast?
 
Black Saison Gyle but it's more red than black. Runoff from a stout I brewed months ago. Belgian saison yeast. 3.5%abv.
I bottled it months ago and it tasted horrible so I just left it up the back of the fridge. Now it is so incredibly delicious that it warrants a photo in here.
