And another Red, keep them coming :icon_drool2:



A tribute to Cameron's of Hartlepool Strongarm. Camerons are a strong independent regional, if you ever watch Heartbeat which is filmed on the North Yorkshire Moors adjacent to Teeside, check out the pub scenes and you will see Camerons Pumps.

A dark red ruby ale, not quite a Yorkie, not quite a Scottish. Brewed on Teeside, a smooth mellow caramelly dark quaffer after a hard day at the I.C.I. factory or the shipyards and around 4.4 % abv

Camerons have a proprietory yeast and the UK forums tell me you can't get it but I used 1768 for a finish as smooth as a baby's bum.

Edit: basic recipe courtesy Dennis Wheeler: "Brew Your Own British Real Ales"

Oi Bribie! It's "What's in the glass" NOT "What's HALF in the glass"! Now go and skull that half and take another picture with a FULL glass this time. Scheeesh!!

Looking mighty awesome there Bribie. I love Red Ales! What was the recipe?

Chappo

 

[Bribie G]

Duly skulled :icon_drunk: I've made 2 batches side by side.

3000g Maris Otter
500g Polenta
200g Dark Crystal]
100g Carafa T3

66 degrees 90 min

500g inverted sugar

50g Challenger Pellets 90 mins or 60 mins (see below)
15g Styrian Goldings 10 mins

Wyeast 1768 English Special Bitter

20 degrees.

I'll bring two bottles to the next BABBs meeting for a taste test:

One batch was done with a 90 min bittering addition.
The other batch 60 mins

To prove a point. Then I'll have to retrieve the thread wherever it is and bump it with the results. :icon_cheers:

Bribie,

You are fast becoming the font of all (Pommy) knowledge. I was an avid fan of Heartbeat when it was shown here but spent my time during the pub scenes checking out that dollybird barmaid (Forget her name?) instead of the hand pumps.
Where did you get that book from?

Oh yeah, the beer looks great mate. :icon_drool2:

And do a search on Real Ale. The author is Graham Wheeler, not Dennis. Dennis is another guy on a UK forum and I keep getting them mixed up. It's about thirty bucks and mine arrived in four days. He doesn't go too much into specific yeasts and malts, but with our knowledge on this forum we can usually fill in the gaps and choose something suitable for the various recipes, for example Golden Promise versus Maris Otter, the various WYeasts etc etc.

Cheers

[therook]

and my Vienna Lager, the Schwarzbier was thrown onto the yeast cake from this

brewed with equal amounts of Pilsner, Munich and Vienna Malts

Cheers

Thats a great looking beer Yardy, what yeast did you use?

My version of a Northern German Alt, Friedensfeld Alt. I know it's not the appropriate glass but I don't care. It's tasting mighty fine regardless.

Thanks! The recipe took me ages to perfect, but I'm finally happy with the result. It's very smooth and it was very popular at my last club meeting. Actually it was really popular at my wife's work BBQ last weekend too. It always feels good to hear the genuine surprise from mega lager drinkers when they take that first sip of homebrew. ......And they keep coming back for more....and more....and more.....

My latest Kolsch.

Love the Target shot glass, I've got a set just like it. I've never made a Kolsch, something I want to get into during winter. Looks delish. I take it that it's brewed as an ale, but how long do you 'lager' it for?

 

[head]

Newguy, what hops did you use in the ALT? I did a case swap ALT Last yeay and I used all Spalt Hops. Initially very spicy which mallowed. Definately an acquired taste early on. Not all bad, but........I don't know if I would do it again. I think I will try the Tetnang when I do another.
