MO, wheat malt, Aurora, Pacifica, US-05
How do you find aurora? I haven't tried it ye, but it sounds interesting.
 
Aurora is called "Super Styrians" but it's actually a different variety. From Slovenia that used to be South Styria during the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
So I guess that apart from hops such as Saaz from the West of the Empire the breweries would use hops from the South of the Empire (Styria) as well. Aurora goes great in lagers and as an aroma touch in ales such as TTL.

A few of us bought a couple of kilos from Ross recently as they are on clearance.

Oh, I thought it was Gladfields Aurora malt, didn't realise there was a hop with that name as well. Interesting.
 
An on-the-fly, by-the-thumb hoppy black ale that Yob and I did a few weeks ago, entirely hopped with Belgrave Brewer's Victoria, Chinook and Cascade. A crapload of torrified wheat just to test limits and see whether it really adds nutty flavours above 10%, Gladfield American Ale, Brown malt and some secret sauce. The colour comes from 5% Black Patent added on top of the mash in the last 10 minutes. It worked really well, and left a lovely coffee flavour during ferment. Still needs more time to settle. The torrified wheat left a ton of texture. Next time I'd do a protein rest, or just do a wheaten stout a la Wootstout.

The first pic shows a glass poured 10 minutes before.

The second shows how many drinks to the bottom of the glass :) On glass number two (at 7.5%) I lost track, but there it was, written on the side of the glass.

Saturday smasher from the country trading store my first crack at all grain , slightly undercarbed at the moment and I overshot ABV was supposed to be 4.6% but ended up 5.2% and had issues with grain in the boil on the grainfather , will double check the bottom plate next time. Picture doesn't do it justice it ended up nice and clear and tastes bloody fantastic so one happy brewer at the moment . Big thanks to all that have answered my newbie questions the last month or so ..............cheers to you :beerbang:

There was a tiny bit of D2 left in the jar. I put it to good use in a milkshake. So damn tasty.

Made a clone of Bass Pale Ale from BYO recipe, added only 50 gram of roasted barley and it came out quite dark, never drank this last time I was in UK, is it a darker beer? Put 5 litres in the cask and bottled the rest, bottled turned out great but the cask something to behold.

Batch no. 6 from August last year.

Glad I kept a couple bottles as it turned out quite nice.

Amber lager, with solely Falconer's Flight.
Pretty damn good if I do say so myself.

Amber ales done as a lager are definitely different. The malts are, not surprisingly, drier - so the biscuity element comes out more, not much on the caramel/toffee front. Hops maybe a little subdued. A more sessionable Amber, basically

Fwiw, FF is a well rounded combination: tropical fruity & citrusy with a resiny dank background.

Apparently Vale do the same Amber lager with FF, so I should try to get a stubby to compare.

Hey mate, yeah no worries. I don't know how close it is, I'll have to go up the street and get a real one when the big keg goes on tap soon. I've already gone through the little keg which that glass was poured from. I suspect mine has more IBUs and a little more hop character than the original.
