Smashed Crabs Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Sneaky brekky beer. This beer is a lot better out of a can but still a easy drinker out of the bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you put a fair whack of crystal in that one Ben, to give it some mouthfeel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Nothing here. Red ale ran out a few days ago, and not putting anything else on tap til we've moved. There will be one keg filled before then which I'll save for the new year party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Captain!! Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Nice Ben. Oats would give it something to chew on. Have the Saison’s I sent you turned up yet @Ben 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice now, the graininess has gone and it is crisp and clean and not much flavour at all. Nothing but kettle finings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those two beers look remarkably similar. Are you sure they are from different batches? I'm guessing the oats have caused the cloudiness. Good head development & retention by the looks though. Cheers & good brewing, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh I see. One rice, one oats. Both very starchy grains. I have little experience with these two grains, but did dabble with some oats on a few brews a couple of years back. I'd assumed these cereal mashes & good conversion from suitable base malts would clean this cloudy aspect up a bit? Cheers, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah so did the light coloured oat beers I made. The look never really bothered me & there is a creaminess I noted that seems quite unique to the oats. Back then I did some reading on "Beta-glucan" rests/steeps that seem relatively important to help with conversion of the starches these types of grains seem to produce in heavier viscosity than what typical barley grain(s) do. As I do, I got off on another tangent of interest at the time & didn't fully follow through with the Beta-glucan testing & mashing procedure(s) to fully convert the increased starch levels. On purely an educated guess (happy to be corrected), I'd say the cloudiness is unconverted starch, & that yeast will not drop this type of haze as part of its flocculation process. I've always looked at yeast flocculation in regard to only dropping itself from suspension, not other grain, hop, or adjunct based components. Cheers, Lusty.

Smashed Crabs Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 2nd taste test of my RIS. One carb drop in each tall-e was deffinatly enough pours a thick creamy head very rich and interesting beer that's gotten better already. Glad I washed the dog before pouring this.

Cannot get it clear even with a quick chill. Long cold crash and finings (gelatine). The only way I am guessing is filtering but couldn't be bothered doing that.

Hearin' ya. From left to right, Lime tree, "Mighty Red" tomato, "Bragger" tomato, Cherry tomato, Capsicum. All boomin' Jack,......... Boomin'! I've been growing tomatoes like this for the last 3 years & really enjoy it. The flavour from them is nothing short of amazing compared to supermarket bought tomatoes. I try different varieties each year. First time growing cherry tomatoes & almost overnight green tomatoes transform into pick-able ripe tomatoes given certain weather conditions. The best flavoured tomatoes I've grown so far are the "heirloom" varieties. OMFG delicious! You can eat them like fruit! I also have some replanted celery I bought from the supermarket & re-grew from base root, & some "Elephant garlic". Ridiculously big! If you haven't ever grown your own tomatoes before, I'd highly recommend giving it a go. At least now I know why you're called "Greeny". Thumbs up! Lusty.
