Whats In The Glass

Dr Smurtos TTL Clone Mk III



A few things different about this one.

1. When it was at 1.019 I emptied it into a keg that had TTL MK I in it - with 1469. I put my pressure relief valve on and fermented for another 2 weeks at 110kPa ish.
2. I filtered when the beer was finished (1.011) despite all attempts didn't blow up my membrane. As instructed the keg to keg method worked perfectly.
3. I calculate the volumes of CO2 to be close to 2 - lower than I would normally do - but perfect for this beer IMHO.

The keg secondary ferment under pressure presents with a beautifully fine carbonation. The extra hops I put in this (mainly Styrian late) really show. The 10 gms less Chocolate make this about spot on from my memory of TTL wrt Colour.

I still have crap glasses.

I love this hobby. Cheers again Smurto :icon_cheers:

Roger, that looks fantastic, might have to send you a self addressed satchel

Sounds like the spunding & filtering was a success then?

cheers Ross

Absolutely Rossco - I think that this style of beer really suits keg carbonation.

The keg to keg transfer went perfectly - as you said - not one bubble (well I did have a small leak so maybe a couple) but tapped this straight after and its perfectly carbed.

After a huge run of failed batches thanks to an underrated hot side hose, I present the "Troubleshooter APA".

Rather simple - bittered with POR, flavoured with US Cascade. BIAB/no chill. Starting to come really good 4 weeks after brewing (2 weeks in keg).

Life is good!

Looks tasty Foles,

Nice glass by the way.

Cascade and Centennial APA. A few months old now but the hop flavour is still going nicely...

Babbs Eagle Heights Brew Day beer.
English Bitter Recipe, Saison Yeast

Tartness is there, and was a nice experiment but I'm not sure the grain bill suits it 100%. I'm enjoying drinking it though...

The big brew day minnow mild. I've made nicer milds, but this is OK. Looks nice in the glass

To be followed by another mild Grant. :lol: (great timing)

This is a bottle of Rook's Mild. It's is superb to say the least. The only fault being with it is he didn't send me a second. :icon_drool2:

It also confirms my suspicion that the West Yorkshire yeast makes better dark beers.

well I guess I have been lurking here long enough, time to post up a pic of my first brew, from well over a year ago..

Bit of a difference between the 2 photos, first is with flash so looks a lot darker than it was..

bloody good for a first brew even if I do say so myself

Was a coopers mexican with brewcraft #20 enhancer...

now to head over to the kegerator thread and post what I am working on there...

 

[jbirbeck]

Mt Choc stout - there was supposed to be a hint of NS in there but all I get is stout, but it is good.



SMASH Galaxy - JW Ale and Galaxy

 

[jbirbeck]

And - My Old. Was a tweaked version of a theakstons OP recipe done with a bit of treacle and recultured Coopers yeast. It was nice before but now after almost 3 years in the bottle it is simply amazing. Too bad it was the last one. Time to get this one back on the brew list. :icon_cheers:
