Beervis Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Last night I had another crack at my Bootmaker kit + Chinook steep which has aged a while now.. I've had a love hate relationship with it but it was delicious this time round.. Enjoyed it much more than the 4 Pines ESB I drank straight after. Also working on the 'Bridge the Gap' ROTM which is my first brew bottled in glass stubbies. I think I got something wrong with this one, it's hoppy to the point where it's practically fruit juice, but not in a good way. Maybe it's the hop combo or the fact that I used all the dry hop additions as flameout. At least it's interesting I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoppy81 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Drinking quite a few different varieties at the moment. An English Bitter with Choc malt and Special roast dry hopped with Styrian Goldings, Absolutely sensational. Family secret ale with Carared, Hopped with Simcoe and Pacific Jade, pretty smooth 86 Days pilsner with Carapils and Hallertau, Very nice Carribean Porter, Not to bad at all Cheers, Hoppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSands Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Working my way through a batch of English Bitter here too. Enjoying it so much that I put down another version in the weekend, this time to use up some aging Styrian Goldings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 So I don't have anything new on tap at the moment but I did do some mucking around on Saturday trying to make a black and tan. I read a bit about how to make them, but only one write up actually said why they work - the less dense beer needs to be poured in on top. Most of the time they're using Guinness (dry) stout which is about as dense as Corona, but my dark ale is a higher FG than my paler styles so it wasn't working. In the end I decided to pour the dark ale in first, and then used a bottle of Grolsch for the top layer of lighter beer. Behold, the reverse black and tan: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porschemad911 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 It's my Doppelbock particle brew evening, so I am sitting down to enjoy one of my 9% Imperial Milk Stouts now that the boil for my second running batch is well under way. I can't think of a better beer for a cool evening than this, it's so rich, smooth and moreish. I've only got a 4-pack left after this, and I don't think it will see the winter out.

The Captain!! Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 So not drinking anything for another 10 days due to some antibiotics that can’t be taken with alcohol. However bottled my latest version of my Pacific Ale today and tasted the sample. This one was cube hopped at 85 degrees and this is by far the fruitiest I’ve tasted. Obviously carbonation will cut out a lot of this fruitiness but excited to taste the end product. This was also dry hopped using Lusty’s dishcloth method and squeezing all the goodness out into the fermenter and I must say this is also the most aromatic beer I’ve made. Thanks to all on here for the knowledge over the last 12 months which has got me to this point thus far. Captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Definitely a fan of cube hopping now. I have a Rakau pale ale that's going into the keg today and will be sampling on Friday night that was cube hopped. FG samples tasted awesome and they were prior to the dry hop too (it went in after the second sample). Looking forward to it, and will also be putting the main portion of the brown ale batch on the other tap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 So bottled my second cube hopped hoppy pale today. I tasted the sample and yes it’s definitely more bitter than I expected however it’s a lot more hoppy which is what I’ve wanted. Previously I had been putting more and more hops in to get that hoppy taste but just couldn’t hit it. I was adding so much hops that I was getting vegetal flavours popping through. Dropping the temp to 85 for the cube hop is giving me the taste I wanted. Well, I hope so as I haven’t got it in the glass yet. This one is definitely going to be bitter so it’ll taste more like an American pale than a hoppy pale ha ha ha which I’m more than happy with.

porschemad911 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I sampled my Aramis pils tonight. It hasn't been in the bottle for even 2 weeks yet, so it is a bit unfair to evaluate yet. It will definitely improve with a bit more time. However, even at this point it is the best pils I have tasted (vs other home brews, stale imports and Aussie craft beers). There is a real floral hoppiness to it, balanced with a nice malt character and a touch of sweetness and a satisfying solid bitterness that cleans everything off your tongue ready for another sip. Good thing I only put one in the fridge because I could drink a lot of this. Now that I know it has turned out OK I can leave the rest of the batch in the back of a cold cupboard for a few weeks before sampling again. Cheers, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
