Whats In The Glass

[bconnery]

Never buying Guinness again!

All praise the VT037 Multimix bottle

No shamrock in the foam?

Na that's for girls, might as well cut off me nuts and drink a vodka cruiser

I'm probably light years behind on this but I just have to ask, what is a VT037 Multimix bottle?

It didn't come up on Google.

Extract Coopers Eng ale with Tin of Saunders LME and a hit of east kent at the end. Been in the cupboard 6 months as it was tasting shit but it's clear as a bell and tasting pretty good now.

I'm drinking a mojito.

It's a sad sad day.

Just finished the last bottle of probably the best AIPA I've ever brewed, and probably one of the best brews I've ever made.

It will be fondly remembered.

Its a gas bottle...... filled with 30% Co2 and 70% nitrogen.

Probably missing the point here but have always assumed this thread is for showing off one's beers & brewing skills & not for idle chit-chat as per most of the last posts ??????
My point being --- No pretty pics then no post. h34r:

Just to stay on-topic here's a pic of my Rob Roy 80\- in an inappropriate glass.

Love your nitro setup Tony.

 

[jakub76]

Just enjoying the last glass of awesomeness.

 

[Batz]

Ok a picture :huh:

Way too cold to take it outside in my normal spot.



My Pilsner Urquell clone, I should be drinking ales but this is four months old and very nice.

Oh. I probably should have taken the hint when you said "bottle". Thanks.

Picture attached.

Of beer.

Edited with the appropriate software! <_<

Belgian Dubbel.

Being anal about getting my fermentation temps and starting gravity's spot on as opposed to my regular casual approach really paid dividends with this beer. With only about six weeks under its belt in the bottle it tastes as good as it looks, fruity without being overly sweet, warm without being hot, if you know what I mean. As usual, could stand to finish drier.

One of waggastew's recent efforts.

Can't recall what style it's supposed to be. Anyway, I'm enjoying it.

Deep golden colour, little in the way of head. Medium carbonation.
Restained aroma, similar to the palate.
Gentle sweetness, from what I think must be Pils malt, on the palate, along with noble hop spice and fruitiness. Medium bodied.
Quite a long sustained malty finish, just held in check by the lingering hop flavour and light bitterness.
Higher carbonation would possibly give it a crisper finish, without wanting to be critical.

Nice effort, and it's slaking my thirst nicely. Could easily do a session on this.

Was an attempt at a Euro style lager. Will drop over another bottle as all my others have plenty of carb. I must have been daydreaming when I primed (or didn't as the case may be) that one!

Pours very pale, with a slight ginger beer tinge to it. Mrs warra thought I was pouring a ginger beer!
Not a big head, but what's there is sustained for some time, although it ultimately dies down.
Aroma has a restrained light fruity lemony quality. I can't detect anything that should not be there.
Very neutral flavour, with no real malt as I notice, but with a slight cereal quality. No diacetyl.
Hop flavour is restrained, and tastes the same as the aroma.
Bitterness is just high enough to balance the very light palate, and leaves a clean finish, with a slightly acidic citric finishing touch to clean up.

Altogether a very refreshing light well balanced lager.

It's not one of my brews, but another of waggastew's efforts.
This must be the beer from post #3400, in the "What are you Brewing" thread.
I tasted it and wrote these notes before I found what it was meant to be.

this red IPA attempt:

Not quite as bitter as I'd hoped, still delicious though. (the ol spreadsheet had it up around 70IBU but I'd say its more like 40-50)

Obviously a lot darker when not held in front of a lamp

Looking forward to seeing the colour as the keg clears up in the coming weeks.

WOW - That is RED! Thank you for postin the recipe... will be trying that grain bill Saturday

I love you.

a little.

Not any more.

 

[Liam_snorkel]

I think the iphone camera is playing tricks on us because it's not that ******* red.
Still, I think I nailed the colour I was after.
I'll post a daylight photo on Saturday.
