She was asleep in those agapanthus behind her, she came out for a pat when I came outside with my beer. Cheers, Lee Must be fun getting her to the vet for vaccinations etc. I had to round up my 2 for their annual visit this morning. They're nowhere near the size of yours but I still lost some blood. Cheers, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben 10 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Hazelnut Porter was the idea. Looks like an amber in that pic. Roasty, chocolatey and NUTTY. SO GOOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris! Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I had an early sip of the ale I am submitting to a comp, it is pretty good but will improve with another week. I can definitely pick up the grapefruit from the cascade but not really pick up much from the galaxy or motueka....I never used motueka so not sure what to expect. My wife says it is super fruity and can pick up the grapefruit and she says passionfruit and pear? Norris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Passionfruit will be from the Galaxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris! Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I thought that, but it is not like what I have experienced in the past with galaxy, I did buy it somewhere else. Usually I can pick up the galaxy easily, in this one I get the grapefruit and some indistinct fruit aroma and flavour. I usually dont use 3 hops at once so it could be too much for my 3rd grade palatte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elLachlano Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 All my dark beers are coming into their own. The first is my PilsNoir. The black really highlights my scratched up middy/pot glasses. Awesome drop though. Already mourning it's inevitable passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowbrew Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Tried my Little Bo Pils earlier today. Its only 2 weeks in the bottle but its pretty damn good already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elLachlano Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Tonight was a Caribbean Porter, which I've named Exodus. Didn't mess around with the recipe too much except I used a Gen2 harvest of Morgan's Premium Ale yeast which I believe is on par with S-04. Midnight Wheat cold steep is really shining through. All sweet, bitter and sour with a chocolate constant. Max 2x long necks of these a night though... They pack a punch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#granted+brew Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Should have stayed in bed this morning, was at work for less then an hour and got pissed off. Ended up storming off and going home. So now I'm going to RDWHAHB. Two month old toucan O.S. Draught kit Mexican Cervesa kit 200g Dextrose made to 25 litres 1× o.s. kit yeast & 175mls slurry of the same from previous toucan brew. Dry hop 20g Cascade This particular batch keeps getting better and better, dry hop aroma almost gone now but can still taste it. My first impressions a month and a half ago were that it tasted too strong (alcoholic) and bitter but now all the harshness has mellowed out and its pretty darn good. ABV is around 5.2%. I have had good feedback from my mates with this one, probably the best comments yet.. I probably won't try it again but then again if the cans are on special again it might be a quick easy fridge filler with decent results. Cheers everyone, try and have a good day Lee.

Otto Von Blotto Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I wish I could storm off and go home every time I got angry at work, although most days I'd probably be there less than half an hour What is it you do for work? Meanwhile, I have no home brew going at the moment since the lager keg blew last night, however, there is a full keg of brown ale ready to go in and the pale ale in the FV is due to be kegged on either Sunday or Monday, so it's only gonna be this weekend that beer is off tap. Two quick ale ferments have been quite useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Kelsey, I'm a Concretor and pretty much a jack of all trades, but get paid as a labourer still.. that's half my problem... The boss is my brother in law which is good and hard at the same time, but with regards to storming off it was a kerbing job that the suits in the office stuffed up the radius of. We fixed it up but not to council standards so we have to do it again... I shouldn't be so upset about it, it's no skin off my nose. Wish we could make the suits who got it wrong in the first place come and do it, that would be funny to see. Cheers, Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice work. I reckon I’ll spend on quality as well when I get there. Probably in a year or so. I might even purchase as I go so it doesn’t seem like such a big purchase at once.
