Whats In The Glass

[technobabble66]

Rogers' Ale clone. Version 2.
Very very happy with it.
I'm guessing it's quite close, but need to get around to doing a side-by-side to gauge how close it really is.


Fwiw, recipe is here:

^^ to wash down a plate of stags' penises? [emoji15]
Maybe a Saison to go with the accompanying mountain oysters?
[emoji1]

So you know what stag penises look like ???

The red meat is Herring (fish) I like it but some people find it a bit strong
it looks red but once cooked comes up white full of the omega oils which is good for you

All good fun mate no probs but Saison with mountain oysters where is youre matching

The Kolsch is one of my favourite styles which I am playing around with when I get a bloody chance to brew

All good mate hope you find the right stag

 

[technobabble66]

Haha. No worries.
Big fan of both herring and a good kolsch. And that looks like a good one [emoji4]

Luckily I had to use google to find out what a stag penis looks like.
You have to admit they look kinda similar, though:

 

[rude]

I'll leave the penises to you mate

Here is a pic of my challanger all the way I had before the kolsch

Side view

If you open the pic in another tab it comes out the right way

Only 4% 31.2 IBU

The 60 min add was just 20 IBU & it needs to be more will try 25 next time but
probably will try the old east kent & styrian goldings combo luv me Bitters

I've got my 10L keg on tap now after the XXXX clone blew dry last week (in some ways, thank **** for that). My best mate has dubbed it the "Heinz 57" keg due to its use of blending surplus of 2 or 3 batches together :lol:.
This time around it contains a blend of about 4 litres each of an APA brewed with Cascade, Citra & Simcoe and an English bitter style ale brewed with some home made crystal malt. The big kegs of those two beers are occupying the other two taps at present. I'm really enjoying this blend of the two beers, it's got the hoppiness but also the influence of the crystal on the backburner.

Hopefully it's been emptied enough to fit the surplus of whatever the hell's in the FV at the moment which will be kegged next Monday. At first I thought I'd accidentally tipped a batch of red ale into it but from tasting the FG samples I think it's actually a pale ale I brewed with some home made malt and crystal malt that was given to me to do an experimental batch with (actually tastes pretty half decent).

5th all grain brew sampling time, after 6 weeks lagering. Maybe my best yet a Helles Lager , could make a mess of me easy this one . Really nice clarity aswell

hmmmn after a couple of this one I am finding it to sweet , might leave it to lager a bit longer . First Schooner super but after that its just a little to sweet ...................will this settle down with a longer lagering time ?

 

[Rocker1986]

No idea to be honest... the only time I've noticed lagers being too sweet is when they're not fully carbonated.

Attenuation ? what was you're OG, FG ,type of yeast, mash temp & grain bill

Attenuation ? what was you're OG, FG ,type of yeast, mash temp & grain bill

was a grainfather kit helles lager

grainbill
4.65kg galdfield pilsner malt
300g galdfield sour grapes malt
220g gladfield gladiator malt

OG 1.050 target was 1.049 and FG was spot on at 1.012

Yeast was 2 packs of m76 bavarian lager

mash 60 minutes at 67 mash out 10 minutes at 75

It could even just be the beer type as a Helles Lager is supposed to be mildly sweet , I have a mate coming around on the weekend who has drunk a few german lager in his time I will get his thoughts .
Its not a sickly sweet just after a few it's to much for me . I'm not sure if a longer lagering time will help it mellow a bit more ?

Having never tried a helles lager before I have nothing to compare to

My lagers have improved heaps since i started using O2, pitching heaps of yeast and lagering at zero after fermentation. They are very drinkable after about a month in the keg but even then they improve after time. They will change considerably 2,3 6 months down the track. I find the hardest thing with lagers is not drinking it all before it reaches its peak.

 

[IsonAd]

Could potentially be the sour grapes malt is giving some tartness. I haven't used the gladfield SG malt before but if it's like acidulated malt, 300g seems a bit high to me (not knowing your ph of course).

 

[Midnight Brew]

Having these tonight for Mardoo. AJ's oatmeal stout that Mardoo collaborated with myself. This keg has cold brewed coffee in it.



We're thinking of you big fella.

Sorry for the truly crap photo but needed to share this.

After using many yeasts that gave me a healthy clean Belgian Ale, I finally bit the bullet and went WY3724 on a Saison.

And a teeny 12 hour sour mash just to add some nuance rather than overpower it.

I'm in love. La Sirene was the benchmark, it is now been smashed.

colab German Lager with late fresh harvest noble hops (picked the night before) - which was a bit of a guess in terms of IBU's, fermented with budvar yeast at 9degC which took forever in my case at least

brewed on a cobbled together system with power only for pumps - next years brew will have to be pretty good to knock this one off but that's the fun in it eh?

Corona V Dry Ale

Yes there's some fruit character but most people like fruit, it's still dry and smooth and an easier way to go if you want to pump out some quaffers for your mates who don't like too much going on in their beers.

50% of people picked the wrong beer to be the Corona when eye-ballng them but the pils malt in the dry ale is a bit lighter

It was never meant to be a Corona but the closeness in color is interesting. Some acidulated would be the go if I did it again....and very easy to down a pint.

What was the final recipe Jonny? I think that beer would be right up my dads alley.
