Shamus O'Sean Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Sue's Seahorse Kolsch - Memorial brew for my sister's passing on 12 September 2020. Sue's daughters named the brew. Sweet aroma. Hints of fruits and floral. Flavour is a really nicely balanced combo of malt, spice, apple, light bitterness. I like this beer. PS - Thanks to everybody for the kind words over on another thread where I posted about Sue's passing. 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergy1987 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Forgot to take a picture - But after 2 weeks in the bottle I just tried my first All Grain beer. It is a Citra/Amarillo Pale Ale and I am floored. I had real concerns with this beer just because I had low efficiency and didnt dilute my StarSan with the correct ratio. so wasnt expecting much. How I was wrong. After brewing Kits and bits for a few years they always just seemed a little disappointing so I decided to go to all grain seeking improvements. All of my Kits & Bits seemed to have a residual sweetness to them that I could never get rid of, which I guess was coming from the LDM. Anytime I added hops it all seemed to not be present and every beer tasted very malty. So tasting this all grain I was still expecting that "Home brew taste" but......holy crap it tastes like beer....proper beer. The hops are coming out in the aroma AND flavour. It has a bit of bitterness at the end (may have to adjust my hop schedule for no chill) - Not to sound like a complete tosser, but it actually tastes like a beer you could get from the bottle-o.......from a sh*t brewer I never though the switch to all grain would make this much of a difference to my beers, but if this is the start and the future sees further improvements - I cant wait to see what those beers taste like. If anyone is wondering if they should make a switch to all grain....as someone with one single AG beer complete.......the answer is Yes - so far 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchBastard Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 (edited) A keg of my Kolsch went of to a mates kegerator today. Not before I ripped off a couple of bottles and a smidge as a tester. bread and honey on the nose with a malty mid palette and a slight fruit ester from the yeast. This glass unfortunately doesn’t promote the clarity of this beer but she’s crystal. @Shamus O'Sean reading above I am sorry to hear of your loss. Hope you’re doing well. Rest in Peace Sue.

Aussiekraut Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Irish Red Ale. It's a little darker than anticipated but that doesn't hurt the taste. Nice creamy head, a malty character, easy on the bitterness and a nice residual sweetness. I'll drop some of the roasted barley next time, which should bring the colour down a bit. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Bo pils. Not a great pour but I think it's near the end of the keg which usually results in a bit more foam than normal. Tastes good though. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSands Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 First brew using MJ's M12 Kveik - an English bitter generously dosed with Fuggles and Goldings. A 1.036 wort fermented down to 1.004 in 28 hours and several weeks later looking and tasting pretty darn good! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The extract brews are great and even though people tell you that the grain is a step up it is not until you go to grain you realise how big the divide between extract and grain is. Congrats....

Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Real ale partial mash made with imperial Kvieking. About my 7th or 8th drink of this. Didn't dry hop but has this fruity taste like it was dry hopped a touch. Not a bad beer but not a massive fan of it. I think the yeast would be great in an NEIPA and I am really keen to try it on a sour when I get around to making one. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben 10 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Flanders Red. Unfortunately too much yeast into the keg... BUT a really f***ing good beer. Sour and funky. I like the way this beer changes every time. Very very impressed. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
