Titan Posted March 31, 2019 Author Share Posted March 31, 2019 @The Captain!! haha i love Guinness, cant go past it if the pub sells it. No off flavours whats so ever. Was working in Sydney for a while, choice was a pint of lager and a meal or 4 pints of Guinness. 4 pints always won. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Get a syringe and draw a small amount of beer into it then pump it back in. Does a reasonable job of imitating the nitro head. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mercantile had the best Guinness in Sydney, probably due to the large volume they sold and going through kegs quickly. I haven’t been there for a few years but hopefully it is still good.

I do say it tongue in cheek. My little dry Irish on tap at the moment is based on a Murphy’s Irish stout. Tastes good apparently. I’ve tried Guinness a number of times but only in Aus. I haven’t been to Europe yet, this little piggy flipped a coin at 18 and it landed on travelling Australia. An Irish mate of mine is coming round in a few days for a taste test. If he says it’s no good I’ll bury him under the tomatoes. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty Corner Brewing Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I like a Guinness and it’s definitely different and better in Ireland. But I fell in love with Murphy’s Stout over there but never seen it here. Would love to find a recipe for something even close to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep your eyes peeled for when they next have it. Might have been a bit of a once-off though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately Queensland is backwards in some stuff and Aldi beer is one of those things 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddyBrew2 Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Murphy’s is a great stout. Bit sweeter than Guinness. Also Beamish is another good irish stout 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Captain!! Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 I’ll be looking beamish up. Ive heard Ohara’s makes a cracking stout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Dan's has Murphy's stout, or at least they did. They might have had Beamish as well but I don't remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, they throw a small portion of soured batch in the brew which gives it a small amount of tartness which could be perceived as being drier.

Titan Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 American IPA. A little cloudy as only kegged a few days ago. Great flavour and aroma coming from the Pekko hops. Will certainly do this one again. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Captain!! Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Here’s some chicken soup I created in a fermenter and over a couple of weeks. Tastes like fruit and pine, slightly under bittered for a hoppy pale however for the haze crazed hop bomb fans out there. Really good. Not what I was hoping for however not undrinkable 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
