Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Cracked one of my mutated yeast belgian dark strong bottles tonight. Almost 3 months in the bottle. Sweetness hasn't gone but its really mellowed. Great carbonation and the classic belgian lace. Im gonna put the rest in the light and easy esky and put them on the shelf for a few more months and see what happens. Tastes more like Gulden Draak every time i try one. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your thought process, but I don't think the calorie count of the beer will be any lower in a few more months time.

BlackSands Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Not my best best bitter... but certainly drinkable 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I’m drinking my Centennial & Brooklyn Pale Ale. Probably my favourite hop combo in a Pale Ale. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashed Crabs Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 3 weeks without a beer and I'm sitting out the front waiting for her to open. 🤣 will be sampling some shortly and will probably only need a couple to get me going. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashed Crabs Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Tried this Black Ale out of curiosity. Walked into the bottle o here and was blown away by the selection of WA craft beers. Price range from $5 to $40 a beer. Nice beer to have by itself definatly not a session beer as the flavors are quite strong. Nice beer overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSands Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 First tasting of my latest Golden Ale. Partial mash with Gladfield malts (ale and toffee) and a generous blend of Fuggles & Goldings hops. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I've had a head retention issue with some of my beers lately. I'm still not sure if it's the beers or the glass but I've had a few cans of kaiju krush which has maintained its head and laced down the glass as well. They're still washed in the dishwasher the same as always so I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an observation from posts you've made here, but you seem to be getting through your kegs a bit faster over the last few months & even running dry for periods, that for most of the rest of the year you simply don't with your good rotation & timing of brews. Your beers are possibly not as well aged as you are used to, purely as a guess. Cheers, Lusty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually attach gas and put 300kpa for 24-36 hours then set to serving pressure which is around 75kpa but this time I just set to 75kpa because I went away for a few days so hopefully it will improve over the next 3-4 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smash Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Overcarbed XPA. Not the flavours I was hoping for, but drinkable. Overpowering flavour in my last 2 beers, not sure if it's too bitter (although this was only approx. 32 ibu's) or if it's because leaving my hops in too long (may have forgotten to remove after day 7). Might try this again with a few changes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kegged a pale ale on the weekend that will sit for a few weeks while this lager ferments, so it'll be interesting to see what happens with it once it's on tap. I think next weekend I'll have to try to get this second fridge. I want two fermenters going partly to prevent running out but also to allow better conditioning of the kegs.

Titan Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 Wirh the carra addition i would have expected a better head. Report back in a week, see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popo the Reprobate Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I decided to pour the dregs of my last cube into a bottle and cap it with a carb cap just to see how it turned out. You can see the dense layer of crap in the bottom. I put a little bit of yeast into the bottle and just left it on the kitchen bench. The rest of the batch is currently crash chilling. It's surprisingly good all things considered - though only very lightly carbonated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris! Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) I had a Juice Train from Deeds Brewery at the Goods Shed in Wodonga. It was nice,a little strong for me at 6.5% but it was free as Deeds Brewery was sharing their beers! It was juicy with I think 20g a liter double dry hop with London Ale Yeast. It might have been 10g a liter. It had a distinct pineapple aroma that I could pick up and a slight bitterness that reminded you it was a beer and not juice. Very nice. I then tried their DDH Pale Ale, double dry hop, pretty much seemed like the same recipe but at 4.6%ABV and a slight hop change, it had more dank and pine notes coming through, but they were slight. They said this one was 8g a liter dry hop, but I could definitely be off on that. To me this one was perfect. I would put it in my top 5 for sure.

Marty_G Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) Coopers European Lager bottled late June 2018 ... this was made without temp control during a cold spell last winter ... while it is pretty damn good it is obvious to me now that it quite shite compared to temp controlled lagers ... the flavour profile is muddled, not crisp and clean like the beers I have done since getting my temp control together in January and they have still to be lagered ... really looking forward to drinking those in a couple of months or so ...
