Whats In The Glass

[warrenlw63]

UK Brown Ale in a lager glass!

Pete

and the last of a D Saaz Pale Ale
(actually Wey. Pils + little light crystal then D Saaz all the way + clean ale yeast )


Cheers,

I request Pete be banned from posting pics. He's contributing to my alcoholism. :icon_drool2:

Hey Newguy I bet you are a kilt wearer I reckon there's more kilt wearers in North America than in the whole of Scotland.

Hey, I'm so proud, I have eventually reached my holy grail and recreated Megaswill:

This stuff in the piccy is ice cold (Gelatined and Lagered and Polyclared to buggery) and I reckon it tastes almost identical to Toohey's Extra Dry. I was well on the way to cloning Melbourne Bitter but was having problems with the Coopers lagers cans I was incorporating so this time I subbed a tin of Morgans Canadian Lite (apologies to Newguy .. Morgans obviously don't know what they are on about) and I think I've overshot again but ended up out megaswilling the megaswill:



Canadian Lite
5 litre cube of my stock wort which is straight Galaxy and POR
1 kg dex

US-05 instead of the Nottingham I had been using.
Around 5.5 ABV

Ferment coolish, looonng cold crash.

And why am I so proud, well I reckon that if you can actually make megaswill fairly accurately then you have the potential to make ANYTHING I tell you ANYTHING...

Sheet I'm going to have fifteen schooners of this and throw up. :beerbang:

I'll take a couple round to BigBurper's on Wednesday and he'll confirm.

And here I was thinking megaswill was where most homebrewers start their journey. Seems like you're going in reverse Bribie!

Nyet! My ancestors were more inclined to have a drink of vodka than anything else. Thankfully I've discovered a couple of the many Scottish contributions to the world, Scotch Ale and Scotch. :icon_drool2:

Back on topic, your megaswill clone looks to be the perfect lawnmower beer. :chug:

Brewers,

My first "Hey Porter" of the year & a trial run for my home-made Brown Malt before really getting down to business for the winter.
Hmmmm, Love that Fuggles in Porters & Stouts.

I have a pint of "XL Bitter" in my glass tonight

Not a great pic

It's a really nice 4.2% session bitter this - lots of malt charachter and just the right hint of hops to make it a traditional 'chugger'

This is is the recipe:

60L Brewlength
Target OG 1.040
Target IBU 27
BHE 80%

9kg Maris Otter Pale Malt
300g Amber Malt
300g Crystal Malt
300g Wheat Malt
100g Chocolate Malt

67c Mash for 90 Mins

Challenger to 20 IBU for 90 mins
Goldings to 7 IBU for 15 mins
Goldings 30g added at 80c steeped for 15 mins

Using s04 to ferment

 

[Screwtop]

Goldings 30g added at 80c steeped for 15 mins

How are you doing this Wez? Do you make a hop tea or add in a hopsock for 15 min?

Cheers,

Screwy
