Drinking it 'cellar temp' out of a fairly coldish storage room.... is prolly around 10 deg C... tastes good. Malt shining through with slightly warmer temp maybe? Also has cleared a bit since my first 'release'... and is tasting very nice - great head retention and mouth feel with the wheat malt thrown in. Bit sad to see the stocks dwindling But all for a good reason Looks a beauty mate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Captain!! Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 So I’ve been working on my clarity a fair bit for pale ales and I’m fairly happy with this beer. The first few out of the keg were just as clear as the end so pretty happy with that. I’m going to go down the biofine avenue I think for the next few brews. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just way over carbed. I have actually got to stand back when opening them ha ha Then punch the carbonation out of em before I can get close to drinking one. Think im gonna tip the rest. Unless you want 25 odd king browns of the sh!tty Belgium IPA with no hop flavour ha ha ga Edited September 9, 2019 by The Captain!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Saison went from being nearly undrinkable (well nearly) to quite nice by the last bottle! Edited September 9, 2019 by ozlizard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This beer finished at around 1.08-9 and I suspect it’s now under 1.05 as it’s very very carbonated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In regards to my pale tasting like a 150....it certainly does not.

Otto Von Blotto Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I don't think it's bias or at least not totally. I don't like 150 lashes much either, it's just a boring beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSands Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Supernova PA My latest NZPA featuring a 50/50 blend of Kohatu and Pacifica hops - late flavour/aroma additions of 50g each, but no dry hop. I called it 'supernova' after the Gladfield specialty malt used - a drier substitute for med. crystal. It's loosely modelled on the SNPA approach to the beer which as it happens I actually tasted for the very first time ever when I was in the UK a wee while ago. The only significant difference being... this PA is better! These two hops are really mellow but their presence is still quite apparent, but I think next time I will dry hop as well. Might reduce the supernova malt a little too. Cheers! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris! Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Just mowed the lawn so decided to have the wheat beer I made. Well, if this was me 4 or 5 years ago, I would be pretty happy. It is very refreshing and drinkable but it lacks body. I had my OG at 1.048 at 16.5l but I diluted it to 21l. I won't do that again. I honestly don't know what I was thinking. Anyways, the bright side is, it is drinkable. I prefer around 30 to 40ibus in my brews, depending I guess, but from what I like to drink that is about the mark. This has no body, even with 40% wheat. Oh well, live and learn. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchBastard Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Working my way through my last extract batch before the world of AG came knocking. The steam ale from the coopers recipe section. It’s about 5 weeks in the bottle. It had a heck of a twang when first carbonated. That’s really mellowed out and now it just tastes like “beer” should be really drinkable in 2 or 3 not weeks. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porschemad911 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) My Black saison on tap is disappearing pretty slowly. It tastes awesome but creeps up on you so I've been exercising a bit of restraint. I sampled one of my failed cold malt extraction experiment beers, an Aramis pils the other night. In the end it is a very enjoyable pils, 4%, crisp, bitter, with some lovely lemon / herb hop notes.
