ben 10 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Belgian Pale hopped with Nelson... 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris! Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Trophic Cascade Pale Ale made with Voss Kveik yeast, cascade at flameout and Ella hops in the cube. Mostly pilsner malt with some wheat and some caramunich. The cascade were flowers I picked at my buddy's house and they are coming in strong. Distinctive aromas and flavours of Sierra Nevada with the Ella providing a tropical lift but the esters from the yeast are helping the beer along also. It is weird, clean but not? It is definitely the yeast contributing a fair bit to the overall beer flavour and aroma. It is hard to explain, but it is a slightly tart thing going on, in the flavour and aroma. Nice beer. I didn't fine it because I wanted to ensure I didn't mute any of the flavours from the flowers or the yeast and I didn't think it would clear anyways due to the ingredients and large flameout additions. I give this a 3/5 because I am not a huge fan of yeast derived flavours, but this is fairly crisp and very drinkable with nice aroma and flavour. I cannot wait to see what it is like in 3 weeks, for better or worse. Day 10 of self isolation, Norris 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezzza Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Cleaning that nitro Keg out for a refill but these last pints are still pouring nicely - AG Stout - the malt bill of Munich, Carafa III, Chocolate, Pale Crystal, Roasted Barley, Smoked Malt, Wheat and the Base Malt of Voyager Veloria Schooner Malt was definitely a winner... 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitchBastard Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Dug out an Aussie lager I brewed pre kegging set up. It’s Been lagering behind my kegs for a few months. Initially I wasn’t overly stoked on this beer. I didn’t have the balance right and seemed a bit sweet for the style but. Seems to have worked it’s self out some reason. Clear as.

Pezzza Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 @MitchBastard Hey MB mate that is good going - and I reckon the cold lagering thing can be really positive... great stuff. Did you use Pride of Ringwood in your Aussie Lager? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty_G Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 Fat Yak Pacific Ale clone. Now over 4 weeks in the keg cold conditioning. It is Cascade and Nelson hops with the Nelson now balanced out and the brew is a delight to drink. Ist time using Nelson Sauvin and I highly recommend. They are big flavoured and you would be a brave man to use a large amount in a dry hop but they are yummy. Could be the best AG beer to date. Just love the flexibility of AG brewing. It may only be 3.6% but this is a full flavoured beer. Can mask the lack of ABV behind a bit of body and some good hop additions. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the whole New World hop use but PoR can be used extremely well to make malt driven beers. I liken PoR use to cooking trends. There are many wonderful flavours in Asian fusion and nouveau foods but I never forget how good a "filet migon" is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty_G Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 (edited) Just moved onto the 9 week keg lagered Pilsner. Made to Otto Von Botto's recipe except for his mash and boil times. Must admit it is better than bloody good. I think next time, now that i have more experience, I will do the recommended 90 minute mash and 90 minute boil.

This one certainly cleared up really well, but they're not always like that. My last golden ale and NZPA were both a little hazy and I suspect the UK IPA I bottled a week ago will throw up a bit of a chill haze too. I haven't really figured out fully what elements are at work here that contribute to these varying levels of clarity from one brew to the next. My process is always the same - more or less: A few days CC + gelatine. I can usually tell at time of packaging whether clarity will be good or not. This bitter was already 90% clear when I bottled it and in fact later bottles in the batch looked 100% clear... until the last dregs when I started picking up a bit of the cake. The others brews in contrast were still quite hazy on bottling day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure actual sizes but in the old school sizes think they are close to 15oz, 10oz, 7oz and 5oz. They are wonderful to drink beer from. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 3 weeks ago due to home stocks low i put down 2 x toucan beers. Both of them were pressure fermented with US05 without spunding valves. This one is the coopers ruby porter extract topped off with a briess CBW unhopped pilsner malt. OG 1.041, FG 1.010. Has resulted in a clean very drinkable Brown Ale. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And good ol' US05 ; ) Mate when you say pressure fermented without spunding valves - did you manually adjust pressure as you went along - like in Fermentasaurus or Fermzilla type arrangement or just in another pressurised FV you may have - or just let it do its own thing?

Just in the fermetasaurus no pressure applied just let the yeast produce its own co2 so yep essentially let it do its own thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
