The Captain!! Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 @BlackSands great images mate. Blown away. I love NZ and my wife who is a kiwi was also blown away.

#granted+brew Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Just enjoying my first bottle of my amber ale. Sorry Scottie... This is my best beer yet! 20 days in the bottle and I'm onto a winner. I've named it 'Lusty's Mosaic Amber Ale' and I've never tasted anything like it (I don't get out much...) Bitter, fruity, malty goodness. I'll post a pic when I get some good light so I can compete with the likes of @BlackSands But for now this will have to do Cheers,Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Captain!! Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Had one of my stouts last night. This one had a slight change from the first version, finishing it off with a few grams of Centennial instead of Columbus Sensational beer. Recipe locked in.

Norris! Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Well I just tried my Kilowog Krush, 3 days carbonation, so early, but the carbonation seems right were I like it, but it looks like a NEIPA, which I knew could be a possible (I did 10g/l dry hop so I also knew it wasnt going to be clear) especially since I decided against clearing it. The taste/aroma is really good, just what I was hoping and trying for. The Balter XPA was on my mind, but the nelson sauvin is coming in strong, we are getting a plethora of aromas, grapeish pear like thing with a whack of fruity citrus bitterness that is...dare I say juicy?!?! I think it is a session NEIPA, did I just make that up? I wasnt trying for that but was hoping the cold crash would clear it up more. I guess kaiju krush and Balter XPA probably get filtered and cleared up. Either way I am happy so far, will check back on Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Lao Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Don’t mind a nice drop of whisky on the weekends myself! Had a few Monkey Shoulders the other day, not bad for a blend - can’t go past Glenmorangie for taste and value though I reckon! Just kegged my Citra Mosaic Pale Ale, 41 IBUs 6%, quite possibly my best beer ever!! There’s just something about Citra and Mosaic that do it for me! Nice malt bill of Ale malt, Munich and caramunich with a decent dry hop Citra and Mosaic 40g / 30g Also just started my Amagalaxy IPA, 61 IBUs and 6%. First time brewing with wheat (0.25kg) and Carapils, and I am liking the result. Happy days!! James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to love the speyside Glenkinchie when it was the 10 year old, it's like they've gone too smooth/bland now it's a 12 year old. Caol Ila is just insanely awesome, but I can't afford it very often!

elLachlano Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 //// A very angular Caribbean Porter on a cold windy October evening in Melbourne. This one is only approaching 2 months in the bottle and I'm running low. Totally doing this brew again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solved! I couldn't resist grabbing some of the little 3 pack sampler from Aldi. Highlands single malt from memory, NAS, 50ml each of the rum, sherry and bourbon cask finishes.

Norris! Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 So I had another glass to see how it was coming, of the Kilowog Krush. It has a real nice bitterness, for my tastes, with a whack of herbal hop right off the bat that smooths into a citrus like tastes with strong grape and pear aromas. The cloudiness is from the hops, non use of kettle finings and no clearing agents, but the look actually helps the taste, if that makes sense, you expect juice and you do get it but the bitterness and hops come through to remind you it ain't juice. This is my 3rd or 4th best beer only because I wanted it clearer. It is still early and I expect the hops to continue to meld together, I expect the last glass of this will have me wanting more! Good brewing Norris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lab Cat Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Needed to give this another test. This is my English Bitter w fuggles and Nottingham yeast. I used a little more sugar in this one, and there is a slight increase in carb levels versus my pale. I wouldn't use more as this style of beer doesn't have much carbonation anyway. Made sure i had a really clean glass this time, and the result is all good, firm creamy head. It's only at Day 12, so pretty happy right now.

elLachlano Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 A nice cold 1st borough lager on a sunny mild Melbourne afternoon. Crisp and hoppy! (Still on a bit of a lean /// ) This is my third crack at it and 2nd time subbing Amarillo in as the dry hop. Niiiiiice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Bloody nice looking beers there fellas, apart from Norris as he still shouldn’t be posting through his suspension. Norris, in all honesty, looks nice, If it was a NEIPA, It’s very cloudy, however with the amount of hops you put in there it’s no wonder it is. Plus no findings or clearing agents. Good job mate. Glad it tastes good for ya. Like I’ve said before get a base and work on it. I’m sure you’ll be saying this is your best beer yet in a few brews time.
