My flat white stout.

78% Marris Otter
7% Chocolate
5% Crystal 60
5% Roast barley
3% Flaked Oats... dunno why, oh well!
2% Carafa II

ALSO! The equivalent of 5% lactose powder as well!

Mash 60 mins 67c

25 IBU of Challenger Hops at 60 mins
Dry-beaned with 5gm/L specialty coffee beans... I used Atomica.

Safale S-04 @ 19 deg

It smells sublime... tastes delicious and looks a treat...the slight creaminess of the lactose and the coffee bean aroma/slight flavour work just so well!

...Until the head disappears within seconds leaving nothing! No lacing, nothing! Could it have something to do with the oils in the coffee beans? What is taking my head? Would love to know haha :(

Perhaps I'll sub the oats for Carapils next time? Regardless... delish beer that will go down a treat in winter. Perhaps a few months in the bottle will help its cause.

Highly recommend.
Arabica beans are @ 12-20 % oil iirc, so combined with the oats could be the problem
 
Just got back from 6 hours of driving so time to sit down and have a beer with the housemates. A nice fresh clovey hefeweizen at 3 vol and an roasty oatmeal stout at 1.8.

Lime Infused Cream Ale with both rice and polenta in the mash. Turned out a treat; cheers to Seehussen and Madpierre for their help with the recipe :D

Okay, finally one I am proud of. The making of this all Mosaic IPA has been a bitch. But the taste makes it all worth it. With 7g/L it packs a punch, very earthy. But tastes citrusy.

Only 6 days in the bottle but couldn't wait to try one. Only one carb drop per 750mL bottle as well, much prefer this level of carbonation.

Steam Ale Clone. Mine on the right. Only been in the keg a few days. In all honesty, mine tastes far better than the one out of the bottle. More like I remember having at the brewery itself. Real hop zing on the nose with lovely fruit aroma from the Motueka. Been sitting on the recipe for a while. Basically a version of Syl's clone IIRC. Got a barbie tomorrow, and wanted something a bit more sessionable for the masses.

I like that beer from MG, light and refreshing.

I think that they use Oranic Pilsner malt which is how they get the colour so light, what did you use?

Just use Joe White Pils from memory mate. Can check my notes tonight.

Just found recipe which I basically followed on my work compy:

Steamed Goat (American Pale Ale)

Original Gravity (OG): 1.050 (°P): 12.4
Final Gravity (FG): 1.013 (°P): 3.3
Alcohol (ABV): 4.91 %
Colour (SRM): 3.4 (EBC): 6.7
Bitterness (IBU): 26.1 (Average)

87.49% Pilsner
12.51% Wheat Malt

0.8 g/L B Saaz (8.6% Alpha) @ 13 Minutes (Boil)
0.8 g/L Citra (11.1% Alpha) @ 13 Minutes (Boil)
0.8 g/L Galaxy (13.4% Alpha) @ 13 Minutes (Boil)

Single step Infusion at 66°C for 60 Minutes. Boil for 60 Minutes

Fermented at 18°C with Safale US-05

Notes: 2g/l dry hop

No hops in boil (13 min additions were added 10 mins after flameout. (I no chill).

Dry Hop was something like:
.5g/l Galaxy
1g/l Motueka
1g/l Citra/Mosaic

Motueka seems to be the main one doing the talking though.
 
Centennial Amber Ale

ImageUploadedByAussie Home Brewer1425014950.363087.jpg

4.5% abv
OG 1.046
47 IBU

80% pale malt
4% crystal 60L
8% wheat
5% Vienna

Sacch @ 66C for 45mins

Magnum bittering additions
Centennial bittering additions
Centennial and cascade aroma additions and dry hop

WLP090 San Diego Super Yeast

Fermentation at 20C

Note: what's in the glass is actually 50% air as I couldn't wait to take the photo.
 
Dark English Mild - 2.9%

Pretty happy with this one, even though it's the lightest I've brewed it doesn't sacrifice for flavour. Rich biscuit maltiness, fruity esters as expected by Ringwood yeast and overall very enjoyable and sessionable. I aimed for 3.5% however due to high mash rest and Ringwood it seems to ended high but not in a bad way. Not carbed yet as I'm just letting it sit under the pressure but still great, just like out of the cask!

Phew...I thought I was the only bloke who liked to do side-by-side tastings of my clone beers in the bathroom immediately following a shower...I'm not so strange after all.
Nice looking beer there, btw.
 
Oatmeal stout and chocolate brownie with salted caramel/almond ice cream.

The stout and the chocolate live together harmoniously.
