Xmas In July Lotto

[keifer33]

Cheers NickB for the feedback. Was also a bit disappointed with the malt backing so will definitely be trying to improve next time. Glad you enjoyed it.

 

[NickB]

OK, continuing the American theme for the day....

Next up is C-MOR's APA



Poured a beautiful amber colour, but somewhat cloudy...




A very nice malt-focused APA! Well done!

Cheers

How many photos are you going to take of beers sitting on top of your computer before you knock one over? :unsure:
Don't say it'll never happen to you

Can someone re-cap the cheapest way to send a bottle (I don't bottle in PET) in the post, whilst giving a good chance to the bottle to survive the trip. (Just FMI - In case I'm lucky enough to win a QABC place and need to send to ADE).

Cheers

Terrific!
Fancy labelling huh. :lol:
I'd be keen for to see a score review posted but it has only been in the bottle a week. Probably be August before it hits it's straps.

 

[NickB]

Thanks to Bullsneck, yum beer, Seemax and Matt C.

Your beers will be enjoyed, and feedback will be given!

Good work Nick.

"Yes dear, but I must drink 4 beers TONIGHT since people are waiting for feedback, its not like I want to or anything." :icon_cheers:

 

[itmechanic]

Muggus and Bullsneck, express posted you both an old ale today, sorry about the wait.

Bulsneck, sorry its not an Irish Red as discussed, didnt want you to have to wait any longer. I hope you enjoy it all the same.

Online feedback appreciated.

Cheers,
Paul

Glad you liked it cobber. It was all gone pretty quick around here. As stated its my first AG. Very interested to get you feed back, a guy at one of the sponsors above(pretty sure he's BJCP certified) said it was far from bitter enough for style. He did proceed to pour the whole bottle out into plastic cups and give me the bottle back, took that as another compliment. Upping the hop character is duely noted.
Recipe is from brewing classic styles, apa with caramel, recommend it to anyone, drank it cold, warm, highly carbed and low carbed. drinkable drinkable drinkable
THanks again.

 

[NickB]

Sorry for my slackness bullneck. Express post satchel on it's way to you as of this arvo, should get it tomorrow or Friday at the latest.

Cheers

 

[bullsneck]

Got a few bottles today, thanks to itmechanic and adryargument (which wasn't so dry, one bottle was in pieces).

Cheers, will consume soon.

 

[bullsneck]

Thanks to cdbrown07 for the Scottish Ale and NickB for the Mild AND the Rye ESB. Looking forward to tasting thesefor sure.

 

[NickB]

Bear in mind the Rye ESB was only kegged about 5 days ago, and carbonation will be a little down. Hit 5.7%ABV as well!

Enjoy mate!

Cheers

 

[bradsbrew]

5 days! Can't believe you'd send such an old stale beer Nick. :icon_cheers:

 

[NickB]

I know, Brad. Gotta get rid of the Good'uns so I can keg another batch...

But pretty happy with the ESB, although not a lot of Rye character. Slight spiciness, but maybe let the bottle condition for a week or three, the alcohol notes and esters are slightly overpowering ATM, although I just drank another jug, and at 5.7%, I'm not complaining

Mild is good, but a little too much peated malt coming through (I only used 50g, honest!) and slightly too thin body wise. Adjustments being made to next batch. Will forward a bottle to you if I remember Bullsneck

Cheers


EDIT: tip for the young players - if you're sending a PET bottle of beer to someone, the smallest bag they'll fit in is a 3KG Express Post Satchel (@ $12). You could send the one, but if you're bottling in PET, you can fit 3 bottles in the same satchel at no extra cost - all you need is a few layers of Bubble Wrap. Handy Hints brought to you by NickB's Rye ESB™. Drink one tonight™......


Ahem.....

Muggus- posted this afternoon, mate.
Cheers, John.

Definitely disappointed by that,
Will ship another two this week :icon_cheers:

 

[bullsneck]

No need to worry about that, we'll give that one to the brewing gods like the 6 or so hydrometers I've owned. Still got one, so I'll savour it.

Not to worry - post office somehow gave me free postage last time, must be the karma police.

No problems - glad to hear it arraived safely and hope you enjoy it. Happy to hear your thoughts if you are so inclined.

 

[Muggus]

Jyo
Booyablack
Proudscum x 2

Thanks for the beers guys. I'm finally getting my ass into gear this arvo...it's gonna be a big night! :icon_drunk:

 

[bullsneck]

Thanks to Toolio666 for the beer. Will get round to drinking all these fine ales shortly.

Also, I will be bottling my American Stout this weekend Muggus. Would you like me to send it straight away or give it two weeks to condition?

That's a serious amount of beers to sample, it looks great to see them altogether like that. Hope you enjoy them.

Nick, you will be getting mine tomorrow at the case swap.

Bullsneck, yours will go into express post on Tuesday. Apart from the Schwarzbier I'll also send you a bottle of my swap beer, German Trash, which is a Pils only hopped with ISO hops and aroma extract straight into the keg.

If there is space left in the satchel I might throw something else in there too.

 

[NickB]

Just got home to another package - thanks to Potof4x for the two awesome looking beers!!!

Cheers!

 

[NickB]

OK guys, apart from the two people who have contacted me RE: my entries, I'm only missing a beer from Siborg. Cheers to all for posting, and I'll get back onto the judging ASAP!

Cheers!
