And, as always, nice and clear. @The Captain!! apparently not kegged too early. That’s awesome Benny. Might not be clear but it still looks delicious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben 10 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Might need another, too fecking hot for anything else. 35° and a good whack of humidity too. Hopefully a storm comes through around 1700 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddyBrew2 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I’d check your kegerator for leaks mate. You do 68 brews a year and you’ve gone grain to glass on this one in a week 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Dead Ant pale ale, kegged yesterday. Bit muddy but I did inadvertently tip some of the sludge from the fermenter into it. Still, tastes pretty good and pretty decent hop aroma too 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddyBrew2 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 My all citra IPA / zombie dust clone. I would wholeheartedly urge anyone looking for an ipa recipe to try this. She’s a cracker. A few different malts in there but the citra is explosive. My best beer to date 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris! Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I am drinking at some friends, Mexican night, so we are drinking Pacifico but I brought a growler of the tropical ale, galaxy, citra and Amarillo with pilsner and wheat. My friends love it, so much that the only beer left is Pacifico . Fair enough, they said it tasted like beechworth pale ale, so I will take that. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drank that Pacifico whilst on holiday in Punta Cana, closed complex, only beer I could get, switched to Vodka which I haven’t drank in yrs. Go your tropical ale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitchellScott Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) One of my last extract brews before I will be drinking my AG. Anarchy IPA with a few little adjustments. Nice beer and great head retention. Creamy as. Bitterness that hits hard but a nice after taste of the hops. Happy brewing.

Aussiekraut Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 My HORT 4337 SMASH. It's still very green but quite a tasty beer. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_G Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 First schooner of my 1st AG brew an English Bitter. Has a distinct hint of nut and carob or chocolate which must be from the 4% Carafa Special Type 1. Bittered with Fuggles and EKG with an EKG flame out. Very pleasant and clean flavours. Looking forward to leaving it in the keg untouched for a couple of weeks so it can condition a tad. In a word impressed. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that you can get close to AG with KnK liquid malt extracts only and hops... no dried malt or BEs or dex... only liquid malt extracts. But yes I think it is a quantum leap KnK to AG... a beautiful thing. But as I think @Otto Von Blotto and @Beerlust said early on when I was investigating going into AG... A well made KnK is a lot better than a bad AG... Edited January 19, 2020 by Bearded Burbler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With just the one brew under my belt I can not say that yet. It is good and I can taste the way once can control the flavour buy changing the % of the grain bill but to me the jury is still out to whether there is the quantum leap and if it is worth the time. While I am not time poor and it was not onerous my 1st 2 brews have taken over 11 hours to do as I chill and pitch same day. Now that is a large chunk of time. But I can see how there is greater control and therefore diversity of flavours that can be acheived just by grain bill manipulation alone and when bittering and aroma are considered well that just multiplys the possibilities.

Is that in total or 11 hours per brew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
