Well deserved there, Bullsneck.

Is this the same/similar beer you gave me? I thoroughly enjoyed that one...I think you said it was an Imperial version though?

Let's call it an Imperial American Stout!

I tried a half carbed glass of my first saison just now. 1.045 to 1.002, and this is 5 days since I pitched the yeast. Woah it has a fruity aroma, first sip is lemon, then a bit of fruit and black pepper, maybe a bit too much, but then it disappears and whoosh, it's gone haha. It's a bit cloudy but for a beer that only started fermenting 5 days ago it isn't too cloudy at all. I'll try another tomorrow arvo when fully carbed, purely for research Haha. A definately interesting beer. I can't believe how much I abused the yeast and it tastes pretty good. Next time I'm going to try to pitch high 20's and ramp to 30, just to see how much fruit I can get coming through. I have 4 packs of belle saison left and dingemans pils on the way!.

Finished bottling an imperial stout this evening. Had a small sample at the start and now enjoying i pint of the leftovers. Mmm... big flat stout :icon_drool2:

Ended up having 5 of see last night, my first saison. Just the one tonight though, I promise!. Bit cloudy but it's young, and hey, it's rustic!.

Just like they should be.

Mulberry & Watermellon Sours. Mulberry is nice with a great colour, flavour & aroma. Watermellon has good aroma, but is a bit lacking in flavour and colour.

They are both for a Halloween party, I was thinking of adding some type of flavouring/colouring - maybe watermellon juice or maybe skittles........

This is a tweaked recipe from a much more heavily hopped beer, absolute cracker.. because it's young the smoked malt only really seems to add complexity, very very subtle. This could be because the hops mask it a bit, as I found with the last batch in the bottle they became nice and smokey after about 5 months in the bottle.

Had to share. :beer:

I guess I have a little Oktoberfest going on here...

 

[Edak]

Given the Octoberfest topic, here is my extensively used HB 1L stein (as you see the gold has worn off) fulll of dunkelweizen.

Just the right amount of colour, malt and roastiness.

looks balanced.

Mosaic IPA

230g of Mosaic in a 19L brew including a 90g dry hop. Based on recipe for Three Floyd's Zombie Dust with Mosaic instead of Citra. Only bottled two weeks ago, this beer comes good in the bottle so quickly.

Recipe here

Appearance - Dark golden to copper, slight haze (gelatine was used to clear). Tight dense white head that lingers and lingers.

Aroma - Massive sweet hoppy caramel aroma. Strikingly similar to Citra version. Maybe more red berry/strawberry? You smell this beer at arms length

Flavour and Mouthfeel - Medium mouthfeel, quite creamy. Initially alot of citrus, citrus peel, hint of toffee, fades to a firm peppery bitterness with floral notes. Slight astringency left on the palate. Maybe a hint of onion/garlic bite that some others have noted but its way in the background and probably there due to suggestion.

Overall - Yum. Big tick for Mosaic from me.

 

[Spiesy]

230g in a 19l batch!

90g dry hopped in a 19l batch!

Good Lord man! That's over half a pound in a single batch!

 

[waggastew]

Yep. Have not explored how much is necessary, just brewing using the rates suggested on the clone recipe from HomeBrewTalk. Could probably cut it down but the economics aren't that compelling, still pretty cheap to brew compared to commercial offerings.
