At the risk of derailing this thread, I never get to speak to Aussie NFL fans so I thought I'd check in as a die hard NFL and Arizona Cardinals fan. My bar at home is shaping into a bit of a sports bar so my wife got me a replica Cardinals helmet signed by Anquon Boldin (my fav all-time Cards player) for my birthday last weekend. Will have to frame my old Boldin jersey too at some point, though it's pretty well-worn. I haven't met a lot of Cardinal fans before, if any, but Boldin was a beast.

Norris! Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) @Cassius Being from Nebraska, we don't have pro teams just college, I have several teams that I pay attention to, NY Giants and the Cleveland Browns. Yes I am a Brown's fan and yes it sucks. When your greatest memory is from the late 80's then you know something is going wrong and maybe you picked the wrong team to root for, I mean go for (this is Australia, that means something else down here, but I guess I would root for them, why not?). What makes it worse is when Rooney moved the browns, under the cover of night, to Baltimore and then they become the greatest franchise in the last decade! Yup, that is what being a Brown's fan is like. Being a Giants fan is fun but, honestly I just jump on the bandwagon. I am a Browns fan all day and an occasional giant's fan. If Nebraska had a pro team, I would back them. I really only care about college football because the Browns are so bad and I love my Huskers. Anyways, I love derailing threads. I might change my name to the Derailer or Railed. Like when I derail a thread I just post a comment that says, "Your thread has been Railed, utterly railed."

Waynealford Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I currently have a few to choose from: a few left of the Honey Blonde (brew #2) half a dozen each of the Beekeeper and Schwarzerweizen (#3a & #3b) Pavlova Pale ale (#4) Fruit Salad ale (#5) Julebryg (#6 - haven't tasted it yet, might try one this weekend, but it is a long term Christmas beer, leaving it for the flavours to mellow out) Boerderij Saison (#7) - tried one last weekend, damn it was yummy!! Ginger beer (#9) is conditioning, so will wait a bit longer til I try one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSands Posted March 14, 2020 Author Share Posted March 14, 2020 Riwaka Gold Early tasting - getting a very abvious passionfruit hit off this one. Nice! I really do to find a way of reduce the amount of dry-hop 'floaties' though. 50g was contained in a fine mesh cannister but there's hop debris in abundance in the beer. I have a hunch that before I used to CC there was a lot more yeast in the bottles and that help suppress and dry-hop matter that was present. Anyway, It's a beautiful beer and definitely on the 'brew again' list. Next time I might pair up the Riwaka with some Hort4337. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Nothing, lager keg ran out Saturday. But I'll have two more full kegs ready to go for the coming weekend, one is a bastard blend and the other lustys favourite Selleck PA with all Magnum hopping both 19L kegs. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Very much looking forward to hearing how the Selleck tastes 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 My guess is balanced with little hop flavour, but I wanted to see for myself hence brewing it. Might even throw a keg hop at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSands Posted March 16, 2020 Author Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) Bitter is best! Back into my Southern Cross Bitter tonight. I've been down several paths with my exploration of the style but I think I've finally landed where I want to be with this one. I couldn't get torrified wheat which I had originally intended for this recipe so used Gladfield Redback Wheat instead. Not really the same thing and I don't know if it's adding much but either way... this one is now on my "brew again" list. Will probably play around with different hop combos in future versions but I think for me the malt combo is pretty much settled. And as an aside, the clarity on this one is great, though a little hard to tell with the frosted up glass. The interesting thing is though it's is one of a few recent brews where I forgot to add whirlfloc in the kettle.

Norris! Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Sipping on the Leftover IPA. It is pretty crisp and clean with a floral aroma that quickly goes into the tropical aroma and flavours, pretty muddled right now to be honest, but I did just empty the freezer into it, so kind of expected, in hindsight. I expected more orange but am getting a fair whack of pineapple and maybe nectarine, I suck at describing, I need that thing @MitchBastard Nice beer, but (I almost always think this) the 60 min addition could of been reduced or omitted for all flameout, which would of been slightly increased, and too high of an alcohol content for me, but a good tasty beer none the less. It is also much more bitter than 31ibus probably near 40. It is fairly balanced with the malt standing tall and coming forward in a toasty bready way that offsets the hops well. Really good body and mouthfeel. So all in all, good beer just not my style. Edited March 17, 2020 by Norris! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
