On the left, RanndyRobs APA. On the right LCPA.
Ooh, the force is strong in this one. If I had been brewing beer this good when I was Robs age, I would be brewing spectacular beer by the time I got to my age. Colour, bloody close, but Robs has a more orange tint. LCPA is more bright. Carbonation level identical. Head, pillowy and white on both. Aroma, citrus, floral, minor grapefruit in both, but Robs smells more fresh. Malt profile - very similar, but there is a hint more caramel malt in Robs. Bitterness - uncannily identical, the amount of bitterness, where you taste it on your tongue, how long it lingers after swallowing - the same. Both have a very smooth bitterness. Hop flavour - similar flavours in both, but a bit more exaggerated and a bit more fresh in Robs. Overall, both beers are perfectly balanced to me, the slightly bigger hop character in Robs matches the the slightly more malty profile.

Lacing - Rob on teh left, LCPA on the right. Kai has got the better on Rob by a little, but still bloody good in both.

While I have the DSLR out. Summer ale, 90% MO, 10% wheat, NZ Hallertau and slovenian styrians, furious boil, which seems to have sorted the haze, no filter but gelatined. Jolly nice.

I found this one up at the bottle'o in Nelson Bay, a 1litre can and the stein for $14.99.
Nice find I reckon. The beer wasn't too shabby either! (and I didn't have to worry about sneaking it out of a certain Rocks pub)

Swiss dried yeast S-189 (2 pack).
German malt (Pills, Munich & caramunich)
3 step infusion with a wave of the magic carafa 3 wand at batch sparge to add colour.
(photo is a bit dark as the beer is dark red)
Simcoe and Amarillo to just over 20 ibu and not late & in your face APA style.
Made last October so best part of 3 months to lager.
1048 OG to about 1012 so a summer dark quaffer :icon_cheers:

The computer labeled it more of a Dark American Lager than a Steam Beer.

Cold glass so no crazy reflections...

C'mon Luke I see the Virgin Mary on a piece of toast. :lol:

That recipe sounds tops!

[Stuster]

Interesting recipe, Luke. How does it taste?

 

[Lukes]

Stu tastes good and too easy to drink on a hot day.
It was a bit of a experimental / what have I got to brew with beer and I promised myself to have a break from northern brewer/2112 steam beers.
It is a lite lager quaffer (grav = Alc) with a little bit more of a maltier taste complimented by the American hops.
The colour makes you think it big but its not at all as the Caf 3 was milled to dust and added to the batch sparge.
The hop choice make you think that is going to make you burp them up for a week or strip your teeth but they are only over 20 IBU with 3 small lager type editions (60 40 & 20 and could almost count the pellets).
So it's a "claytons dark lager"
Anyone who has said "na mate don't like them dark beers" and tried it has replied "Yea that's OK mate, while your up I'll have another".

If it were a porter I'd call it "entire butt".

[Lukes]

Very Nice body you bored but quick photo shopper!
I can't see a Virgin or a piece of toast in yours.
I have to ask, does she go down easy on a hot day?

Duff that looks truly fantastic - CAP's have become my lager of choice, i just love the Pils/maize combo... My Cluster/Saaz version ran dry today & now on to my current Nelson Sauvin CAP with is tasting superb . The next version won't be far in the making...

cheers Ross
