Whats In The Glass

[roger mellie]

Kegged the Galaxy Summer Ale variant of Rosscos Nelson Sauvin - simple stuff.

A few piccies

Out with the filter



Looking good straight out of the filter




A few Bubbles added (humping dogs in the background - happens every time I get the camera out)



Dalmatians - spotty, neurotic messes.



7 days grain to brain

Stunning initial aroma of Passionfruit. Now I get to leave it for 4 weeks while I go to Brisvegas, Melbourne and Korea. I hate my job.

Yep - it doesnt get easier IMHO

4 KGS MO
500gms Wheat

64 Degrees

90 gms of a single hop to your desired IBU

90 minute boil

7 days

5% ABV

Gets better with age - no question - but this beer passes as a fruity, fresh Summer Ale.

I love this hobby again.

My new Nonics, these things are unbelievable. The glasses from the pub have nothing over these, this thing holds a nice tight head the whole way down the beer.

oh and this is just a basic Coopers Aussie Pale with BE2, just while my Yorkie is brewing still.

First attempt at a wheat beer, which I call 'Out Wit'. Must say I'm very pleased with the result but will aim for a little more body next time.

It is light, delicious, and refreshing. Perfect for summer! It has wheat flavour, malt sweetness, and a very bright and fresh hop aroma (all Hallertauer). Not at all heavy or cloying.

Served in new glasses (360ml) I got in the Myer sale for $10. Helped over come the disappoint of the Victoria Basement debacle.

Jeez, I'm enjoying this beer.....sensational

Needed something fermented fast for the keg so what better to do when you have 1098 running hot.......... a Bitter!

Was suposed to 1.046 but got 90% efficiency and 1.052 so its more of an ESB.

Keg hopped it with 20g of EKG tied onto the keg spear in a nylon bag.

VEry nice i must say. IT was about 10 days grain to brain. 7 days to ferment out, 1 day racked/chilling/clearing, then filtered and 2 days to carb up.

Not bad in a pint with lunch while im on hols i must say.

cheers

Good to see butters getting over the 20 IBU limit and over the 4% limit. Just steady on with those Butters. :lol:

Edit: Gavo asks, Has Butters got the shivers yet?

Yet another variation on my good old partial lagerale - Coopers lager plus a 1kg partial, dex, hop additions and Nottingham ale yeast. This one with BB Galaxy malt, cold conditioned for a fortnight. love the colour. Next one is going to be with leftover Maris Otter (wort currently cubed) and should be interesting to say the least.




Edit: Butters, you have crossed the Pennines , does this mean that the War of the Roses has now been put behind ?

 

[Muggus]

Very rarely do I get something worth posting on this thread, but I found this beer a real standout.

Blueberry Hefeweizen.
Very small batch with around 1kg per 7L.
Made to mistake of bottling it with priming sugar after sitting on the fruit for 2 weeks. Most of the bottles i've popped open to date have been serious gushes, luckily this one was much more subdued. (after almost 2 years in the bottle!)
The odd thing is this beer has started to take on some Belgian 'funk'. On the nose this smells more like a gueuze than anything else...somewhat yoghurty.
Carbonation is quite smooth yet lively, and blueberries are a mere afterthought, though I do get a good hit of that tannic quality that's normally associated with blueberries.
Seems a suitable beverage for a bloke about to take a lambic journey anyway...

Curled in a corner DT-ing as we speak. :lol:

Never! Just because my family didn't even migrate south of the Tweed untill 250 years after said occurence, is no excuse to forgive this historical slight which has no impact on the modern day!

Latest batch of Summer Ale.
Bloody nice on a hot humid night (clearer than it looks on the photo).

Yorkshire Bitter. Used liquid malt, S04. why the hell is it so dark? the picture makes it look a little darker than it is, but it is still pretty dark brownish.

TDA Get that Fawcett's goodness into a PhAT. :icon_drool2:

First attempt at a Dubbel after all these years. It's coloured with dark candi syrup. Beer is nice but still not quite what I'm aiming for. Was also a good excuse to use my snazzy new Thistle glass.
