Please can you post or PM me your recipe for the Melbourne Bitter clone and your Yorkshire Bitter. Oh and yeah have to agree with Butters, that glass isnt very fitting. Please send it to me to re-cycle!

Cheers
Steve

Will PM. Went round to The Big Burper's place last week with two litres of the Yorkshire and two Boddies glasses and broke one on the way home :angry: I'll have to ring Ross and see if he has any more in stock, they were $7.50 each. Bugger.

off topic: the next day I walked over the park to post a letter and there in the grass was a headmaster schooner glass ... we're about three blocks from the Bribie Island Hotel so someone was obviously having a swig on the way home. Gods smiling on me.

PS: Perry, that Hef looks bloody delicious....... I'm gonna have to brew another one sometime soon (so little time, so much to brew....!) - You heading to the Eagle Heights Brew Day next Sun? I'm gonna be there (Woot)!

See if you can save me a bottle of the APA. The hefe is good, maybe a touch too good for a sunday nite <_< .
I'd love to be at the Eagle heights pissup brew day but I'll be doing a double batch on Sunday (after two days on the wallop) since I imagine permission will not be forth coming after all that. Have fun.

Ladies and gentlemen...

I just cracked the last bottle of my first batch of beer ever. I would like to say it has aged well and it is a fine drop, but that simply isn't the case, it is as foul as the day I brewed it Fri May 23, 2008. Let this be concrete evidence that coopers instructions are only fit for stopping a table from wobbling.Here is to a future of beers much better than this.

See ya li'l cobber.

2nd glass of my first batch. had one on friday n it was just barley drinkable. had quite a zing to it (not sure how to describe it. made the front of my tongue feel like i was licking sandpaper) its mellowed a lot and isnt to bad now. (its lost 90% of the zing and is drinkable). i look forward to seeing how it ages but mainly i want to see how my 2nd batch turns out. and my third......

Nice looking beer bozzy.
Care to enlighten a computer retard how to get that black background & the light on the subject? Or is it a camera geek trick thingy?

I'll give you the lowdown, Pete. It's all about light ratios. The light (reflected off an object) from a flash source decreases exponentially as you move away from the source. So, if you place your subject close enough to the source to be illuminated, but far enough away from anything else then the light falloff from your source effectively makes your background dark. That of course is assuming that there is nothing else of sufficient intensity lighting up your background. With a strong enough flash (a studio strobe), and large enough distance between your background and your subject, you can overpower any other light source and still render the background black. A dark room certainly helps too. I have done this myself with a white background sufficiently far away and a studio strobe right up against the subject.

So, long story short: Over power any existing light by placing your light source as close to your subject as possible (and still looks good), and your subject as far from the background as you can. Even better if you can control your ambient light.

Slightly modified version of warren's slutty red.



There's some cara-red (as well as some other crystals and roasts) in that for anyone who has been following that caramalt/carared thread.

I hope that pic scales itself.....

 

[Bribie G]

love that Carared, I'll post a pic of my American Amber when it's in the glass.

My latest incarnation of Bribie Bitter (mini cube plus Coopers plus Dex plus Notto)
Nicest one yet, I'll try US-05 next as a tweak.



Edit: I'm taking six litres to Sully's brewday in 2 weeks and will get some peer reviews (BribieG escorted off premises by trained Rottweilers h34r: )

Here is the last glass of my LCPA clone. :angry:

Yorkie Summer Bitter. Excuse the haze. I'll blame the 20% Malted Wheat.

When you said that using dark wheats added another level of complexity to a Dunkelweizen you were right on the money Tony. :icon_cheers:

My first Dark Wheat DunkelWeizen that included Weyermann Dark Wheat Malt, Weyermann Carawheat, & Weyermann Chocolate Wheat with 3068 Weihenstephan yeast.

Will definitely be doing this one again. :icon_drool2:

My Scottish export. :icon_drool2: I don't brew this one enough.

 

[warrenlw63]

Effen Wasp APA... Broke with tradition for a lunch time pint. Had to pitch the yeast to my Irish Red Ale so I thinks... Why not? Down the garage may as well kill two birds with one stone.

When we go to the German Club again we'll get a couple more 'smick' glasses like this one Batz.
I think you just might like this wheatie (?), but then again, that would be a world first.
