Currently drinking my latest American IPA with Amarillo, Centennial, Citra and Magnum. Only a bit over a week old (bottle) but brilliant citrus/fruity flavour. Would be happy to buy this at a bar so that makes me a happy man. Great way to end the night, after catching up with the dad and uncle at Bacchus opening.
 
Aaaaaaah....beer !

A month without has come to an end (let's never fight again).

EIPA.
Marris Otter, Munich and light crystal with a smidge of wheat malt.
Pilot, Northern Brewer and Willamette.
50 IBUs

Earthy, fruity, spicy. Solid bitterness.
Not as much toffee malt flavour as I'd like, and so it's slightly skewed to the bitter side, but still balanced (for me, at least).

Mr Goomba (if you're out there) is getting 740ml of this, as per the lotto debt, so I look forward to the honest review and feedback.

Leichtes Weissbier tonight.

3.5%, plenty of body due to 70°C mash. JW wheat, Weyermann Premium Pils, Baird light crystal. Hall Mitt hops (~14 IBU)
W3638.
Great head, easy drinking, grainy character.

Red rye mild, same recipe as I threw in the SEQld July case case swap. The only change made was that this cube got 1469 instead of 1084.

The difference is very apparent, the ferment was all over at 1.020 from around 1.040 which is pretty much spot on what I was aiming for with the mash schedule. It doesn't have the residual sweetness that the 1084 brings to the table though, the minerally thing that 1469 does has almost dried the beer out which seems to let the individual malts come through quite well.

Pretty chuffed with this beer, going down a treat at only 2.6%

What OG and FG mate, been contemplating a dunkel weizen for a while now.

Does the MJ yeast favour clove or banana?

Hi Donske,

I will check my BS2.0 records tonight and post it for you.

I direct pitched the yeast at 17c into 21lts and got more clove than banana. I think if the ferm temp was higher, say 21 it would have thrown off alot more banana but I havent fermented any beer above 19c for quite some time now.

Good to know, I prefer my weizens on the phenolic side so they all get run on the lowish side of yeast range.
