I understand the absolute difference in the whole concept, I just haven't taken that path myself so far. I recently saw an amateur contest/discussion on Extract vs AG & the results were startling. Understandably the AG Brew would be the superior however it appears there fails at times so I guess it all comes down to correct procedure/knowledge/experience etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very surprised and really would brew other extract brews specially if they turn out like the breaky oat cream ipa out of my mates in Vic that do homebrew i am the only all grain brewer i have tasted theres they have tasted mine they tell me they wish their beers turn out like mine and i ask them how do ya brew your extract just go to big-w buy a can of go a kg of sugar i have told them to step up a few rings and start messing with hops, a few grains with your extract and you will produce a great beer that is repeatable Classic beer brewed any format is good with me, and some of the beers you have put up look awesome mate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Last night's brew: A collaboration between Revel Brewing Co.; Black Hops Brewery; Currumbin Valley Brewing Co. and Hop Co. Hop Bro Super Choice - An IPA brewed with Motueka, Taiheke, Riwaka and Hort 4337 Just a bit over carbonated. Tropical fruit aroma. Nice bitterness. A good IPA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Saison Dupont Cuvée Dry Hopping - Dry hopped with Styrian Wolf Floral aromas. Smells a bit like a strong commercial lager. Also has some slight white wine-like notes. Dry in the mouth. Flavourful. Slightly tart finish. Gee, even the dregs in the bottle smell nice. Website says it goes well aged, but I could not resist. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That look seriously good @Shamus O'Sean I love a heady, hoppy beer, I must look out for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 New England Brewing Co - Eclipse India Saison Mandarin dominated citrus aroma. Similar flavour plus a tartness from the Saison yeast. This is a cracker. Saison Dupont might be the standard and the above dry hopped version was good, but this one is a step up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a really nice little town in the NSW 'New England' Area... if I am on the right track and it is not New England US of A ? I used to drive through Uralla from time to time in recent past - looked to be a nice little set-up.... Glad you found a good one from them. I tried some of their more 'standard' beers back then that I think were more in the UK Ale style... and was a bit underwhelmed... but each to their own - and don't think they made this one back then.. not that I would be racing to buy a Saison anyway hahaha... but with your comments it would be good to try such an animal ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought online. The Eclipse India Saison is anything but underwhelming. Essentially an IPA done with a Saison yeast. I think that if you did not know it was a Saison, you would just think the bite is just part of the hop contribution to the brew. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus O'Sean Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 First non-domestic beer in ages. I picked a good one. Sierra Nevada Brewing Co - Dankful IPA Tropical pine aroma that lasts for days. Their website says contains Columbus, Chinook, Mosaic, Ekuanot, Nelson Sauvin, Zappa, Idaho 7. Strong ale flavour matched with strong bitterness. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben 10 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Kiwi and guava sour, and Apple sauce. Great sour, good tang. Apple sauce is great, nice and dry. Saucy Pils and some guest tap Ginger Beer - bot h very good, mildy hoppy pils and the ginger beer was very nice A lager and Pineapple NEIPA. The lager was good, very east drinking. The pineapple NEIPA was great. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also went in the draw for a prize pack valued at $200 for merch & grog ( I never win anything ) Cheers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
