Whats In The Glass

[TidalPete]

Hey Pete, what was the percentage of rye? I would have expect any amount of rye to result in a darker colour.

Jye,

I was a little disappointed with the colour too. Will use dark crystal next time. Any advice re grain bill &\or head retention appreciated.
Remember Jye, this is my first Roggenbier so be gentle with me.

In fact looking up the style I think I may put this on my 'to brew' list.
Why does your look like a stinking wheat?

Jye,

Not sure if I have posted a pic of my Pale Rider Pils? Too lazy to check. It's as close to water as I can manage.
FYI I have brought down the pic size of the new camera in post 1123 .

Hey Batz

If you dont want to use a stinky wheat yeast, a good belgian yeast works well. Mine is ready to bottle and tasted great

A bit darker, stronger (1.068) and more rye than above recipe (50%) though

cheers

And the best thing about brewing with lots of Rye is you can blame the haze on the Rye!

Or the stinking SafAle West Euro Wheat WB-06

Why would a brewer do this? Shame...shame

Im with ytou on this one mate........... 3068 is a different story

I read somewhere you have 3787 on the go. ITs fairly "stinky" too..... maybe you will come to love a stinky yeast

That what i used in my latest rye ale. THe spicy character of the yeast sits well with the spicy rye.

cheers

 

[newguy]

Guess the style! Some clues for you:

- one glass makes me wobbly
- notice that it doesn't support much of a head
- I named it Premature Ejaculator :lol:

 

[THE DRUNK ARAB]

Gotta be a dopplebock or eisbock newguy.
Whatever it is I feel like a glass of it right now. :icon_drool2:

[newguy]

Ding ding ding! Congratulations! Yes, it's a doppelbock. OG 1.086. I used this beer to make my eisbock.







Geez, been a long time since I cracked a bottle of my eisbock. Dammit TDA, I was saving them!

TP,

Still a nice looking beer if it is a little pale,

here's mine that I've brewed a few times

45% Rye
26% Munich 1
21% Pilsner
7.0% Caramunich
1.0% Carafa

no problems with head retention :icon_cheers:

 

[Muggus]

Looking good Yardy! 'specially like the top pic with the mushroom cloud head, very cool!



Reminds me I should try and track down an Aventinus glass to appease my glassware fetish...:icon_drunk:

 

[TidalPete]

G'day yardy,

That looks the real gear alright mate.
I would never admit it but I must have forgotten to add the Caraffa. :lol:
I think I will keep that recipe of yours in a safe place for another brewday. If it tastes as good as it looks it should be a cracker.
Where did you get the glass from?

TP :beer:

PS --- Just saw your post Muggas. :icon_cheers:

 

[yardy]

TP,

i was going to say you may have forgotten to add the carafa h34r: , thought i better not though.

welcome to the recipe mate, i won't take any credit though, we can thank Jamil for that one, it really is a beautiful beer, I'll pm the hop schedule if you like, the glass was a buy from AHB member ham2k, nice hey.

Cheers
Yard

 

[Stuster]

Would be good to see the full recipe for that one, yardy. What yeast did you use? :icon_cheers:
