A dunkelweizenbock, brewed last November, and only just now integrated and drinking nicely.
Definitely a sipper though, no more than 1 every 2 days or so.

The last few have been my best and I've found that munich is best left out of pilsners,my opinion anyway.
Batz

It was made with the last bits of grain I had on hand at the time and regardless, I have an unholy love of Munich lol :D
 
I too have been working on pilsners for a couple of years cliffo.

Looks a very nice beer there btw

Matter of taste though.
I haven't made a pilsener, a Czech style, and I probably wouldn't add Munich to that, not sure, but a German pilsner I just like the little bit of maltiness that some Munich adds. I do all mine 90/10 pilsner/munich and I won't be changing that...
I've tasted some very nice all pils malt beers though...
I guess like all brewing find what you like and stick to it!!
 
This one was a 60/40 Pils/Munich (again, what I had on hand) and only bittered to 25 IBU so prob should have used Wyeast #2124 but I'm totally stoked with this one...even my GF gave it the thumbs up (a rare event for most my beers of late hehe).
 
I'm about to rack a BoPils for lagering.
90/10 Premium Pils / Vienna, double decocted.
1.059 to 1.013 in 11 days with WY2001. I know it's out of style and too strong, but hey, I don't have a problem.
Sample tasted very very clean, with lovely Saaz bitterness to about 37 IBU.
No trace of diacetyl to my taste at all, but I pitched a large starter at 13C and fermented at 9.5C.
 
hey

put on a keg of honey baby http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...&recipe=636 a week and a bit ago so it would be ready for my birthday party on the friday just gone.

went down a treat getting great reviews from all the guests even the non beer drinkers who just had a taste to try it out so was pleaed with that since the JSGA clone i had on previousely was crap.

went through the whole keg in a few hours and fell back on the coopers draught i had on tap as a back up.

was a good night.....from what i remember.

cheers

My 1st use of Bramling X in a Ruddles inspired beer. Ross gave me some hints/tips a while back so not sure how close the recipe is to the one you gave me (i know Styrians are supposed to be in there?).

Anyway, tastes noice, looks awright. Cant be all bad!

Cheers mate, Came out just over 4% didnt hit my efficiency but thats ok. Fair wack of clove from the 3638 yeast not much banana, next time will ferment at 22 instead of 20.

People swear by the 30 rule with weizens, for example pitch at 12, ferment at 18, they add up to 30. Never tried it, been a year since I made a weizen and SWMBO is pushing me.........might give it a go again.

John,

I used this rule with the wheat i'm drinking at the moment, pitched at 12c and slow raised to to 18c.......blandest beer i have ever made, just a poofteenth hint of banana and not one trace of cloves. This was using 3068 from a slant

Rook

P.S great looking hefe Rob C

Does'nt that bite then! Just listened to Jamils show again on hefe's and it totally pushes the concept! Though they highlight ferment on the cold side at 62F or 17c, but you were damn close at 18c!!!!

I had one of bulps the other night using the same yeast and it was awsome, but he had a four step mash from memory, the recipe is posted on the vic off season case swap.

That one of mine was pitched at 13 and fermented at 17 degrees, i'm pretty happy with it and i love the 3638 :icon_drool2: yeast.
 
Back On Yer Bike PhUGGLY Irish Red Ale.

LCBA...Still cloudy but taste great. I think I'll make this one with more flavour/aroma hop additions

love this AG LCBA recipe
 
I think Brew Bubbas podcast also were mentioning pulling the ferment temperature down to 63F which is 17.22C with Ale yeast for some of the cleanest brews you'll taste.

Spent last night with Jamil though :)

Hey (and thanks) Winkle

It's my second batch and the first one I've gotten right. The previous batch (last year) wound up with the yeast quitting. So it's now a Flanders Red. :blink:

Roselare bugs are still chewing away at it 9 months later.
