Just tapped my Oktoberfest.

Here is the first glass from the keg.

Malty, slight sweetness from low bitterness. Around the 6% mark. Low hops. Creamy mouth feel and smoooooooooth.

Its going to be hard work suffering through the 50 liter keg....... but someone has to do it :)

cheers

Dodgy mobile pic but this is my hefeweizen for the AABC.
Very drinkable we'll see how it scores though. Won't last long in the mini keg for sure.

Biere de Garde with a portion of Rye in the malt bill.
Much better when poured off the tap. There's a slickness from the rye which comes through when the carbonation drops down as it has when I've tried to bottle them off the keg...

American Amber Ale.
Very small bittering addition, a whole 5g of Nelson Sauvin, then all 20 minutes and later additions of D-Saaz and Cascade...
1054 37 IBU
Nice big hop flavour and aroma.

Edit: Added the actual pic...

I think we should rename this Batz's bubblegum n Banana Wheat Extravaganza. :lol:
 
My first All Grain effort, a Dunkelweizen. Came out a 4.3% due to losing a couple of litres of 1st runnings because the valve on the boil kettle was part cracked when filling from the mash tun. But very tasty and a nice thick head. Overall I'm pleased with my first foray into the AG world.

Need to do some work on my beer photography though, not happy with the lighting.

TDA, how did the yeast compare to your old favorite?

Rook

Gidday Rook,

it stacks up reasonably well, accentuates the maltiness somewhat but can also detect the hops, it also has pretty good attenuation.
I have a German Pils lagering at this stage which used the same yeast and it is tasting okay too.
So summing up I would be happy to use this yeast again but 833 is still my fav for the malty lagers :)

Gee whiz yardie,
You know how to get our taste buds racing with your brew ****.
Hope it tastes as good as it looks.
 
My first Roggenbier which is 2.4 ECB below the style guidelines but who cares?
The head is not quite up to expectations but this is tasting very nice nice. Any comments Batz?

Hey Pete, what was the percentage of rye? I would have expect any amount of rye to result in a darker colour.
