Beerlust Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I think the key is to make a brew that the partner REALLY likes. After that, within reason they give you free reign to do pretty much whatever you want. Cheers, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Captain!! Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Well Taiheke is NZ cascade. I made two beers the same grain bill and one had Cascade the other Taiheke. I’ve spoken about the cascade being lacklustre however I believe that was some old hops. These Taiheke hops were fresh as and lovely. The beer tastes fresh compared to the Cascade beer. Recipe below. I think this could improve with a Centennial or Columbus addition late in the boil or a cube addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like dark ales, so was interested to get these happening. But now thinking I'm going to want something lighter for the Summer period coming up. A second brew fridge and two more fermenters isn't crazy? Is it? Recently i had all my 5 fermenters going at once. 2 x 19L batches in the fridge. 1 x 19L batch cleaning up in the ambient and 2 x 9L batches of saison on the heatbelts. My fermentation fridge is a full fridge which holds two fermenters easily. In lucky with that. Tried last week to get the missus over the line on a bar fridge to cold condition beer in jerry cans and kegs. "That will make 4 fridges in the house and 3 of them are for beer. The electricity bill will be thousands." Will try again in a week or so.. hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to fresh cascade I think it’s a little more subdued with citrus and a bit more fruity. Aroma wise I think a little more herbal than cascade. Realistically it’s the same hop just very subtle differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah usually only have 1 or 2 going. I should brew regularly but sometimes go 3 weeks without a batch. It severely eats into my stocks when i do that. Id drop 40 beers every week between my dad and brother coming over most friday nights and mates and a neighbour popping in for a few every now and then and then what I drink.

To add, if you can get fresh Cascade, that’ll be better for this beer but, the fresh Taiheke has really been sensational compared to the cascade.

Coopers DIY recipe: Island Toasted Coconut Porter I do. I'm really looking forward to hitting these next year through Autumn/Winter. I'm expecting a real treat to drink then. Cheers & rubbing it in everyone's nose, Lusty. A mate gifted me 3 stubbies of the coconut porter. I tried one at 2 weeks (it was nice but needed aging) i then tried one at 5 weeks (tasting good, great coconut flavor coming through) i'll Let the last bottle age a few months before i drink it.

Silmaril Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Not a home brew beer, but enjoying a home brew ginger beer (Brigalow kit) with a shot of Bundaberg Overproof rum! I am very much looking forward to trying a new GB recipe in the near future - based on a different kit, with extra bits and boils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porschemad911 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I sampled my Dark English Mild from my Tap-a-draft setup tonight. It's a very tasty beer considering it's under 3.5% ABV. Has a nice malt character, and surprisingly 16 estimated IBUs leads to just about a perfect balance. Has a touch of dryness to the finish that cleans the palate for the next sip. Could use a little more roast though, but I was wary of overdoing it in a small beer with a roasted malt I hadn't used before. I think I'll probably enjoy a few pints of this over the weekend! And all without falling down thanks to the moderate ABV. Cheers, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
