Titan Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 2 beers on show tonight. Beer 1, my maris otter pekko hop smash. This was the experimental beer i did with the year old s05 starter harvest. 7 days bottle. Well it needs another week, still sweet from carb drops but no off flavours and should be a great beer when ready. Beer 2, 10l keg and a bastard blend of two toucans i did so you could say its a fourcan. Very clear nice tasting brew worthy of a review. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Pale ale with Cascade and Galaxy. The galaxy is getting a bit old and now and has lost its punch. Still drinkable. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t usually use crystal in pale ales but I was trying to use up supplies. It also looks much darker in the photo than in real life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Capt. is a semi-pro garlic producer.

Beerlust Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 WLP059 Melbourne Ale yeast, a bit of Roasted Barley, CaraBohemian malt, Hort 4337, & Cashmere hops = An inadvertent Amber Ale. A good little experiment with the WLP059 that has me believing it favours malt over hops as I suspected it would, after my first brew with it a month or so back. The beer itself drinks nice & malty with flavours of caramel & a hint of roast. The hopping notes are there without being anything over the top. A nice Autumn drinker. Cheers & good brewing, Lusty. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSands Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 Diving into my South Pacific IPA again. It's my 2nd English IPA and I'm now seriously starting to think this could be one of my most preferred styles. I'll be brewing a lot more of these I think! Actually, it was supposed to be a first tasting of my 'Lockdown NZPA' but I grabbed a bottle from the wrong crate! Doh! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried a bacon beer from a craft brewery in the Barossa. I thought it was dreadful but it did taste like bacon. Have you ever experimented with garlic in a brew, Skipper?

Marty_G Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Lovely afternoon here at beer o'clock in the Blackall Range Valley on the Sunny Coast. This is the Tooth XXX 1917 reproduction. It has been in the keg for 3 weeks now and is drinking beautifully with great Belgium lacing. The 34% Golden Promise I used has given a delicate nutty taste. This has nearly 25% of the bill in raw sugar and there is NO doubt that beer with body can be made when using of the right ingredients. The bill in rough figures is 75% grain and 25% sugar. The Cluster and EKG bittering combo and the EKG flavouring. Gives it a smooth bitterness. The BU:GU ration is 0.86. This is a seriously good beer. For those who like a Real Ale style this really foots the bill. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QK Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Lusty what do you think of Hort 4337 hops ? what flavour's does it produce ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malter White Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Well the weather has become a little milder the past few days in Adelaide, so I've cracked open my first dark ale for 2020. Just the Coopers tin with a tin of liquid light malt extract. A little bit sweeter than the BE3 I'd normally use. This extract never fails and is a major reason why I don't feel the need to go AG.......yet. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was very happy with a can + extract brew I did where I added 50g of Styrian Goldings - inspired by the popular dark English ale - Hobgoblin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a later hop addition? I've never bothered with hops with the DA because I like the flavour just as it is. However, I'm not resistant to trying something new. Hobgoblin, just the name alone sounds like it needs me to drink it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just used Cluster for the first time in an APA which will be ready for drinking soon. I bought it because it was cheap and had my doubts if I'd done the right thing. I'm feeling a bit more relaxed now. Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, XXXX continued to use it and as far as i know still do in the XXXX heavy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I read on some website that Cluster is a reasonable substitute for PoR, which I'd used previously. The price was right so I thought I'd give it a go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty_G Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Belgian lacing is the froth on the empty glass. Derives its name from this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lab Cat Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) Coopers Abbey Blonde. Second time brewing this, won't be the last. Really good. I'm having regular issues with my PETS though, as per pic. The last third of the bottles are starting to pour monster heads. This started happening in Summer, and I put it down to leaving them stored in hot garage, so brought those bottles in Since then, every brew has come inside to carb and store. No difference. My glass flippers are in the same box and don't do this. Beer tastes perfectly fine in either bottle though.

Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 My sister gave me this. She works at Lion and they are brewing this under licence. Probably one of the worst beers i have ever tasted. Absolute rubbish. I dont mind a sour but this is junk. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
