the milestone pilsner. this version had pilsner, carapils, saaz to 40 ibu and m84 yeast and was lagered for 8 weeks before opening the keg this weekend in celebration of my son’s 2nd birthday. it was a cracker.

the milestone beer changes style or recipe every re-brew and is brewed whenever my little man reaches a milestone or when we want to celebrate something for him :)

Gladfield pils with hal mit to 27 IBU. 62C for 60min, 70C for 10min and mashout. Brewed on the Guten. The 70C for 10min is basically because i forgot how a hochkurz mash goes its prettt dry wich i wanted but lacks some body and head.9 days in the keg so some lagering needed but it wont last with this weather .

Note that the above was straight out of the fermenter too, and the last of the leftovers off the yeast... so the real stuff in the kegs is clearer.
 
I'm channeling Samuel L Jackson. Trying to keep it PG. My very last bottle of an attempt at a Modus Op Former Tenant Red IPA. Thanks to multiple posters here.

The kids are carrying on and IDGAF!

A nice SMASH that’s been in the bottle 3 weeks. The 5 litre mini keg didn’t last long... pale ale malt and cascade. Bitter, good body, slightest hoppy flavour hit on the back of the palate. That White Labs WLP001 is bloody impressive. Anyway, what else could I do on a wet Friday afternoon in Melbourne? :) cheers all. Have a top weekend!

Idaho 7 APA/session IPA or something? tasting spot on now at about a 5 or 6 weeks old. The bitterness was a bit harsh at first but it has settled in to a really nice beer. A bit of tropical and grapefruit. I dont get the black tea that i heard some say it has but then i have a pretty shit pallet [emoji16]

Munich Helles #2

easy simple lager, very slight sweetness in the finish which wasn't the plan. i changed the mash from #1 @ 63c for 90mins to 64c for 75mins and my final gravity went from 1006 to 1008. This style shows that fg difference in the finish with no hops to hide behind.
 
100% (light) Munich lager. Saaz to 30 IBU. I had it in the cube for way longer than it should have been but it still came out OK. Very malty as you'd expect but it only went in the keg yesterday. Needs a a touch more carbing and a few weeks more but it's surprisingly balanced. Not a malt bomb. There's still a nice bitterness on the finish but not too much. Should be nice for Xmas.

Another year, another patersbier. Did this with BB pale instead of the usual Bestmalz and must say it's just not as good. Cloudy for some reason. Hard to believe a subtle difference like a Pils malt would have such an impact on how it tastes, but there you go. Still better that most macro tap offerings anyway.
