I think you'll find there is a direct correlation between alcohol content and levelability...or lack thereof.
 
Same beer as previous post of mine.
Pale ale.

Just nailed down a leak to the C02 post on one of the kegs.

That means I have 19L of this to drink ASAP as the temporary measure on the gas post may not last long.

What a burden.
But if it's what I have to do, ah well.

Nice all citra amber ale to end the long week! Less then 2 weeks in the bottle but nicely carbed and tastes great! Citra is definitely a great all round hop!

Impatience and finishing backyard projects got the better of me. Chilled and cracked a kolsch I bottled 8 days ago. Needs a week or two more but god yes! Thanks must go to Tony his bullshead kolsch in the DB was the starting point after being given a a vial of WLP011 that was out of date, still started fine and went fantastically. It's going to be a long couple of weeks waiting for this.

Dr Smurto's Golden Ale with Nelson and summer. Also the first beer I've added gelatin to & it's come up pretty bright, although it's got a bad case of fluffy bottom, which is a shame!
 
A couple of Hefe's one a Dunkel used 3064 fermented @ 20c next time will try a bit of melanodin maltImageUploadedByAussie Home Brewer1413798764.405252.jpgImageUploadedByAussie Home Brewer1413798787.233731.jpg

it's starting to shape up now and it's getting better, but no banana. I used the mangrove jack's Belgian ale yeast and I reckon it's more like a saison yeast as there isn't any noticeable banana. it is aromatic and there is a bit of spice there too which is quite nice.
