Cool Mitch - so how did you do it - run it through like a particulate water filter type arrangement - to take any suspended yeast etc out - or?

Is super clear alright mate!  Nice looking brew all up!

Yes I am jealous too.  Now that I look carefully, I think there is a weed in your garden and a cockroach in your barbie. 🤣

Cheers - AL

Cider, 10.5% abv not back sweetened just stopped the ferment before it hit fg.  16l clear apple juice mix of coles and aldi. 4l cloudy apple juice aldi, 2kg raw sugar, 700g honey. 2 weeks to ferment this out with safecider yeast. Much better than expected.

Wow i just chucked my sample away or could have given you exact numbers. I think around 10 points off predicted fg. But i just kept sampling(tasting) till it got where i wanted it to be.

A cheeky sample sounds like the way to do it, thanks 👍

Having a cuppla days off and although the photo presentation is not that good sorry... but it's just that I am just amazed how good this AG-Tap-IPA is... I was a bit of an IPA-non-believer... but now am a convert and true believer...

Hoping my trusty faithful ancient capper is not too miffed now being upstaged by the kegs chuckling away not too far below in their freezer  😝

Haven't posted one for a while: This is a rice lager that I did about 4 weeks ago. Yeast W34/70 at 26c and 15psi.  Grain bill was 61% Golden promise,  22% Flaked Rice, 6.5% Melanoidin, 5.5% Vienna and 4% CaraAroma.  Boil was 45 minutes of Northern Brewer for 15 IBU,  15 minutes Motueka 6.5 IBU and 10 minutes Hallertau Blanc for 7 IBU . Colour 21 EBC and around 28.5 IBU. Interesting beer, very subtle flavour from the CaraAroma. Very easy drinking beer. It doesn't hit you in the face but the flavours are complex yet understated with a unmistakable crispness.

Lovely day here in Adelaide today, currently a balmy 29°C. Have had my first crack at my Mosaic Amber Ale from an all AG base. Has been lagering for just over a week, & kegged it earlier today.

MosaicAmberAG-1.jpg

First pour from the keg, so a little cloudy.

I unintentionally screwed up the mash using the unit so ended up with a high FG as a consequence. That's my belief anyways. The Lallemand ESB yeast has done a good job considering what I gave it to start with, & given it finishes a little dry has probably helped the final flavour given the higher than normal FG for this recipe.

More chocolatey than normal & lacks some aroma pop from the Mosaic that I have been used to with my previous partial mash versions of this beer. I can pickup the flavours from the Victory malt addition that certainly adds a nice complexity into the malt flavour. Given the mistakes made & all things considered, it's still a nice beer to drink. 🙂

Mungo Jerry time... 😉

Lovely Lusty. I'll have the beer, then can I have the glass? I had that glass and broke it. I can't find another.
