Whats In The Glass

[Mardoo]

Hammocks...there's a whole thread in there. Good ones are just the best thing.

Mosaic and Galaxy Ale freshly kegged @ 4.4% while watching the storm go past on a sunny day

OK, Black n' Tan, or rather Black n' Blacker...

Before:

RIS on the left, Wee Heavy on the right

After:


By some great gift of Godallahbuddhaciva I have ended up with a half keg of RIS - aged 9 months in the keg - and a full keg of Barrel Aged Wee Heavy (THANK YOU YOB and the 2015 Winter Swap cube). The Barrel Aged had about 3 months in the barrel.

So what does a man do but mix them? Sweet Jesus, the red-wine-drinker's beer, tobacco, leather, raspberry, vegetal, Black Betty's brown sugartit, caramel, souryness delight. Just drank a pint and reallllllly want another, but my wife and I have a daycare and somehow I have to manage that on my own tomorrow while watching the Super Bowl. (You can take the Yank to a better country, but you can't take the Super Bowl out of the Yank.)

Yeah, so a totally wrong Satan's Black n' Tan? Go to boys. It's the bomb.

 

[Yob]

Ha ha.. You funked up individual

 

[Tahoose]

You'll be crawling home again, oh wait your already home.. Kick on then.

A good balanced resin flavour with bittering, slight dry finish, not too dry. the warrior doesn't linger due to teh low co-humulone, pretty happy with this one :super:

Is that a metric fucktun or a strange yank measurement?

 

[Danwood]

That beer is 'quite a big deal' as Ron would put it.

A solid common sense metric fucktun Bridges

Sounds great. Can I get more details on the recipe, I'd be keen to have a crack at that, have all those malts etc.

 

[Curly79]

Notes
12hrs later no blow off pressure yet - some small krausen so check again in 12 hrs. looks to be a lovely red colour. not sure what hop utilisation I got with whirpool as I left it for about 10mins before racking but it took 20 minutes to transfer 20ltrs at a time so hopefully the bitterness is there to offset the Turkish delight but then 3.4% isn't too high. <edit> 12/01/16 been pumping hard for the last 48 hours no probs
16/1/16 down to 1011 tasting great, going away on the 18th for a week so might drop the yeast on the 17th.
Never got around to dumping yeast, will transfer today to kegs (25/1/15) tastes fantastic and possibly the best yet!

13/02/16
i wouldn't go too high with the mash, i think i got a bit high and it's a little sweet/cloying, the sheppards delight is friggin sweet...or friable or whatever the hell it is
i wouldn't just use cascade as a stand alone 3g/l dry-hop again a bit of citra or mosaic, galaxy, simcoe - something else from the APA range, maybe 25% but it's personal taste, the next one is in the fridge and is from the same brew but with 25% Nelson Sauvin 75% mosaic - can't go wrong with that

cheers big ears

<edit> and the yeast was slurry @ around 75% us 05 and 25% danstar nottingham

 

[paulyman]

Cheers Droid, looks great. I've had a fair few of Feral's Karma Citra, finally got to try it. Plus a few Rogers, so probably not far behind you.

Nice ESB on a Sunday evening.

 

[Mr B]

Irish Red.

First one of these, and won't be the last I brew. Missy being a pest in the background, bless her little socks.

 

[Dave70]

Mr No Tips AABC winning hef. By me. Only fermented using 3068 insted of WLP 300 cos that's all I had at hand.

http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/84291-experimental-hefeweizen-three-way/

Re kindled my interest in proper wheat's as I've been getting slack and doing the Merican bastardization versions of late.
Followed the mashing regime and temps as near as I could. If you brew this, do as he says and you'll have a cracker of a weizen.
More and moreish. Even from the incorrect glass.
