Marty_G Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Even if I must say this is a seriously good beer. Complex malts balanced by just enough hop. The fruitiness of the Hallertau Blanc and Simcoe complementing each other brilliantly. Grain bill was Vienna 31.5%, Maris Otter 16.02%, Raw Sugar 13.35%, Munich 13.03% , Carapils 8.01%, Melanoidin 6.67%, Wheat malt 6.09% and 2.97% each of Carafar Special T and Caraaroma. Bittered with 15g of Simcoe at 60min and flavoured with 15g of Hallertau Blanc at 15min. 31IBU 31EBC and BU:GU 0.81. Very proud of this one. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titan Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Eisbock, i couldnt wait. My main concern was during the freezing the yeast would be frozen out with the water. This beer was all bottle for a club case swap. At bottling i added 2 carb drops and an injection of s23 saved from my starter.. 1 week bottled, 10.5% and i think i nailed the style. High alcohol with smooth malty, sweet goodness. Clarity? None better. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Promising Ale This was one of the bottles of this brew. Most went into a keg that is still not connected up due to no empty spots. Clarity in my brews these days is outstanding thanks to fish guts and ground up polytube. Aroma is subtle but fruity. Then I get a sharp citrus zing, as if it was lurking beneath. Taste is really good. Bitterness reminds me of Fruit of the Woods. I cannot wait to get this beer into the kegerator. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Journeyman Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 (edited) I was putting some bottles in the fridge just in case the keg isn't carbed enough and one (an APA) decided, when I was literally 2 steps from the cupboard, to fall over. Bitch HISSED at me so it went in the freezer - after I rammed it's crown down again in the capper - and it's a lovely drop.

Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Trying out another bottle out of a couple partial mash batches I made for my brother. This one is the CCA yeast. Last night i tried the one fermented with US05. Got to say the CCA shits all over the US05. Same recipe and dry hop but the CCA has more pronounced hop flavour. No idea why 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then the gas is Nitro-CO2 mix... sometime known as Beergas... it is a pain in the @##$%&% to get hold of vs plain old carbon dioxide... But the resultant pour is as good as you get in any half decent Irish Pub/Club that sells Guinness Beamish Kilkenny or a place that might do Boddy's Bitter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My goto in Irish pubs back in the day was Caffreys - smooth as, poured like a Guinness but tasted like a very nice 'normal' beer. (as in nothing like Carlton Draught. I had Caffreys merchandise for years because the rep reckoned I was selling it better than he could - people would come in and ask what was on tap and I'd point them at the Caffreys. Very few did NOT carry on drinking it after the first one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
