Burt Castle Mild, attempt to recreate Whitbreads 1943 Oat Mild
IMGP3113.JPG
2.5% but seem fuller, surprisingly quite tasty.
 
First attempt at a Pumpkin Ale and even after a mere 3 weeks in the bottle it's smooth and definitely has pumpkin in it. Too easy to drink @ around 7%

One of waggastew's, the same one as in his post #4644 of 20/5/12 in this thread.

Pretty good description in the original post.

Nice light colour, very clear. Finely beaded tight head which lasts.
Light flowery fruity spicy aroma of hops, on top of some sweet malt.
Very clean on the palate, very well balanced between malt and hops, although the hops come out on top in the finish.
Excellent effort.
 
My first homegrown hops ale, Chinook wet hopped.
Sorry about blurry pic, don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Knocking back a Boonies LCPA, the last of my Kits'n'bits phase after successfully bottling AG #2 Fatter yak and then brewing AG#3 Smurto's Golden Ale..

Got the house to myself and have left over chilli to eat.

Life is good.
 
A hybrid AIPA/Tripel.

Been loaded up with Cascade and Columbus hops, weighs in at 9% ABV and should win by a knockout.
 
I had Tactical Nuclear Penguin tonight at Antique Bar in Glenhuntly Road Elsternwick. They are doing another tasting Sunday eve $18/60mL sample. Happy to go again if anyone interested. Slurped on it for two hours. Worth every cent. Dark berries, currant, molasses...obvious alcohol (duh!).

After the month off, my first beers were Quality Controlof kegs, including this -my new mild at 3.5%:

Sorry Rowy, i will get to yours, I'm not in the mood to drink much - i want to save them for a clean palate.

They've certainly improved their drinks list since I was there last. Looks like I move out of Elsternwick at the wrong time.
 
My Brakspear Special Bitter from "Brew your own real ale at home". Wasn't too impressed with this at first but it's a seriously drinkable beer. It's slowly winning me over. It's the first beer I've tried using invert sugar in and it's something I will experiment with again.

A brown porter brewed with US05, brown malt, choc malt, MO... It's pretty good. I did a triple batch, fermented a second with US05 have a cube left and was thinking of using a Belgian or an estery UK strain.

Fatter Yak as per the recipe in the database.

After three weeks in the bottle it's just getting into its prime now. My god. I've died and gone to hell, this is to much fun to be heaven.

I should have started BIAB earlier. I've never made a better brew.
 
My first glass of this IIPA, which was designed to lighten my hop freezer some. Because the hops are getting on, I got some 2012 Galaxy and Motueka flowers, and added 90g of one variety to each keg. This is the Motueka, and there are yellow flecks of lupulin in the head.
