Whats In The Glass

[Jye]

Wheat Wine - Beautiful malt and alcohol warmth but probably just a touch too bitter. Its now about 14 months old.

 

[TidalPete]

14 months! Don't reckon I could hang on that long Jye?

My latest Vienna is just over three months & is a nicely balanced drop indeed even if I do say so myself.
Putting down another Scottish on Wednesday or Thursday. :icon_drool2:

Actually when Powers came out in the 80s it was a very nice drop compared to XXXX or Carlton Draught of the day. Then as we know CUB bought Bernie Power out because they needed the Yatala brewery and denatured and denatured Powers until nobody wanted it - a favourite trick of UK Brewers like Watney or Whitbread when they took over a local brewery - then they could eradicate the brand "because of lack of demand". Self fulfilling prophecy. Last time I drank a Powers was in about 2001 and it was shyte.

vale Powers
vale Cairns Draught
vale xxxx draught in bottles
vale Carbine Stout next year apparently

It has very low carbonation so I cheated and used a pocket carbonator it always produces fantastic bubbles and head, a bit like its on nitrogen.

Well said Bribie. :super: You are spot on here. I only have 3 left of my original 6 Powers glasses left & will miss them when they're gone.
That Cairns Draught was a good drop alright.

Ps --- Just saw yout post Jye. :icon_cheers:

Is that the pocket calculator equivalent for beer geeks?

It does look great.

Love the colour in that vienna, TP.

Very impressive Jye! :icon_drool2:

What sort of recipe are we looking at here?
Wheat wines seem to be a very free-form style.

It probably follows an American barley wine style fairly closely but when I brew it again in a couple of months Ill drop the IBUs back to 50 and maybe increase the late addition hops by 50%. The next lot will be a 20L batch and half aged on some American oak from a wheat whiskey :icon_cheers:

My Belgian Dubbel that I bulk primed and had conditioning in a 10lt Corney since June this year.



Very smooth brew indeed.

 

[Bribie G]

Possibly my last Partial? It's an experiment. A Coopers plain old series Lager K&K embellished with:

• 1kg mini mash with just a cookin' Bairds malt
• small addition of Green Bullet bittering, two additions of BSaaz 15 and 5 mins
• Nottingham yeast

Gelatine, Polyclar.



Beats the shyte out of the Pure Blonde I just had whilst escorting the Mrs to the pokies. Also, discounting the Notto, total brew came in at less than $16.
Gives a hint as what the kilo was. h34r:

Like I say an experiment, and not too bad at all.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster Tribute Ale, drunk in man gulps.



Perfect for an overcast day, clouded by the starchiness of His majestic breath. Chocolatey, a little roasty and not too dry.

A good afternoon for a refreshing Weizen!!

HAG day Potters Oktoberfest.

This was brewed at potters about 14 months ago. Sat in the cube for about 10 months because i wasnt going to brew it till i had the infections partly sorted.

I bravly fermented it with fresh WLP833 and god damn if it isnt one of the nicest beers i have had in a glass.

Luke if your reading............... my hats off to you old son!

Perfect finnish to a long week.

cheers
