Whats In The Glass

[reviled]

Glad this turned out well with all the hard work rev! You have spurred me on to make some fruit beers soon!

Sorry mate, just remembered I was sposed to give you the low down!!

I used 1.5kg of frozen cranberries in the end for 10 litres, thawed and refroze them about 4 times to try and kill/slow any bugs and help break down the cell wall, then just blended them and added to the fermenter lined with a BIAB bag, no bits in the keg which was awesome..

Without referring to my notes, from memory I had an OG of about 1040 and 20 IBU, next time ill drop the IBU down to 10 as with the bitterness the acidity of the cranberries comes through alot more, the only thing stopping this beer from being perfect is that its not sweet enough - typical eh, I chose cranberries to avoid a sweet fruit beer, and end up with the complete opposite

Ive been mixing it half and half with normal cream ale and its perfect!! Nice amount of fruit flavour and aroma, but nicely balanced on the palate :icon_drool2:

Any time someone uses that joke on a pom at my work he always replies "Hey, I have a bath once a week - whether I need it or not!"

Cheers mate.
42' here today, this keg is going down very nicely

Heres a shot from my 'after work' drink last night. Big 1.25L stein filled with an enchanced Coopers English Bitter kit. Geez it goes down well...

Cheers guys, promise to post up something a bit more interesting next time, probably the Smurtos Golden Ale that I've got carbing up - tasted darn good even out of the fermenter!

Cheers - boingk

English brown ale. Going down easy. :icon_drunk:

Woody, earthy, floral hops in the aroma mixed with a low amount of berry-like esters. Flavour showcases floral woody hops all the way through. Long lingering bitterness. Toasted caramel malt comes up in middle - just enough to take attention away from the hops - and fades before the finish. Definitely one of my better efforts. Will place in the recipe DB.

Pretty close, close enough for me anyway. Biggest problem I have with it is the carb. Can't get it quite right, will carb the next one with dex (in the keg).

Looks delicious jlm, I'd love to have a keg of this right now!

Jye: How did the Citra turn out? I loved the Torpedo IPA (citra is used to dry hop) and have been interested to know what it's like flavour / bitterness wise.
