Good to see a Maibock with a touch of colour TDA.

I think people try too much to keep it pale like a Helles.

Im still regretting the infection of mine and have nightmares of pouring 40 odd liters down the drain.

Will make another soon for winter drinking...... maybe ferment feb or march.

Can you share the recipe.... id love to see it

cheers

Cheers Tony, agree that a pale Maibock would be hard to achieve unless you kept the Munich malt very low.
I reckon I overdid the Melanoiden and Carapils in this one.
Anyway, here is the recipe for you and Batz. Oh and it has your favourite lager yeast too Tony

This is my latest dubbel that's been aging nicely for the past 3 months.

Looks great and I can speak from experience tastes great Devo! B)

Here's a shot of my Biere de Garde from GF day. A few of them left me rather out of control. :lol:

I'm looking forward to the bottle you gave me. Have it still sitting in the kitchen wine rack.

Yeah not bad but I think it needs a few more weeks to round out at that strength. Still has a couple of minor rough edges (like my head did Sunday).

Luckily I had the bottle of Harviestoun's Schiehallion to console me. What a lager!

My polish lager which unfortunately ran out late Satdee arvo.



Was probably the best lager I've done for quite some time.

Here you go rook. I would probably cut the Melanoidin to 1.5%.

Yeeeesss! now thats a great combo for a bitter Ben - IMHO

 

[Adamt]

Well, report writing was getting exceedingly boring, so I decided to crack the extra bottle of BYB's porter I had lying around. No idea why I got an extra one but I ain't complaining



Every pimp needs a chalice.

Big, fat, grassy, year-old APA... A bit hot on the alcohol side of things, but plenty of kick-in-the-teeth bitterness to balance.

 

[NickB]

MMMMM Bitter looks delish Ben.... Recipe?? Really enjoyed your beers at BABBs last week...in fact all the beers I tried were. Kram's Schwarz and Troydos Dunkel were standouts!

I'm so shit at designing recipes atm...just relying on others and tweaking a touch!

Cheers!
