Is this like the Flanders brew where you let it age in a barrel or something like that?

Yes. 2 years apparently..... I really should have researched the yeast before I bought it.

Oh well.

I bought a can of this beer for my birthday and loved it. I also started looking up fruit sour beers after trying it. We have very similar tastes Ben 10!

 

Can you tell me more about this cube souring technique? Guessing you have a pH meter. I need to get one

Ah Matilda Bay Alpha, one of the best American Pale Ales I have ever tried. I reckon the balance is just right (5.2% ABV, little bit of crystal, 55 IBU and plenty of late hops). I don't have any Cascade or Amarillo, but I do want to try out my Dr Rudi in a similarly balanced beer, since I hear it makes a good single hop pale ale / IPA. Sounds like a kits n bits brew is in order ...

1.7kg Mexican Cerveza kit
150g Simpsons Light Crystal malt (steeped)
40g Dr Rudi (13.4% AA) at flameout (15 minute steep)
60g Dr Rudi dry hop

This should give me 11 litres of 1.050 beer at a bit over 50 IBU, and I'll ferment with some SO4/BRY97 blend slurry. I grabbed a nice fresh Cerveza kit today,  and put my 4kg ice brick into the freezer last night so will probably brew this up on Wednesday night. The Kiwis have some nice hops, so hopefully it turns out alright!

Cheers,

John

Do you plan to boil the wort a little to sanitise before cubing it?

Yes, did a 10 minute boil

Just made the technique up. No pH meter, I'll just wing it. I'll check it on Monday having just dumped the lacto in now.

First attempt at a chocolate vanilla porter, using roasted barley and chocolate malt thats been in my freezer for 6 months hope its ok. Just cubed and cooled a sample down it smells pretty damn good.

5Kg Maris Otter

300g Roasted Barley

300g Chocolate malt

250g Oats

@60 29g EKG

@45 125g Cocoa powder syrup made with 130g dex and water

@30 21g EKG

23L in the cube

IBUS 30

OG 1.052

US05

Thinking of chucking in some vanilla beans in for the last week soaked in rum, anyone have tips on vanilla extract vs beans and steeping times? CHeers.

Yeah unfortunately seems impossible to find at all these days, let alone nice and fresh. 

Do they still make it? I haven’t seen it for years.

It was always more expensive than the standard Matilda Bay range but was worth it.
