Stickers Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 first go at the real ale can k+k, pretty much just the recommended BE2 but also first time adding a hop tea at the start. it's not a great beer at all but it's still got a bit of taste going on and i'll enjoy this batch. silly me forgot to write down the amount of hops i actually used, wont make that mistake again. also dry hopped with 28g of enigma. poured from an aldi ginger beer 375ml i've been slowly adding to my rotation of bottles. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would add a tin of Coopers Liquid Amber Malt - as well as - all of your other ingredients.... plus maybe 500g of Steeped Medium Crystal? Might help to make it a beer that captures your attention a bit more? You might know all this stuff already Stickers but @ChristinaS1 Christina put up some nice guidance on steeping and partials over on the 'wots in your fermenter' thread... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickers Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 cheers @Bearded Burbler i looked back at my past few batches and this is the first one where i haven't used and form of grain addition (several steeps and one go at a mash last weekend - following those very instructions ) - will also give it a few more days before i crack another from that batch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha Cheers HH Brew notes over there on the Brew Day Posted November 7 Brew Day Saturday... Something of a Pale Ale... 78% Voyager Veloria Malt and 12% Voyager Wheat... I usually stick around 63-64 for these in the pure rainwater mash... then FV... smashed to pieces with a big dump of US05 slurry... around 18 degC... raised to 21 to finalise.. then cold crashed for a few days... .. is very normal really... just got me Hops Supercoach @Norris! who coached me to throw a bit more hoppage in... Will provide more details on the festive hopping rates next post when the beer has got a bit more carbonation and I can find my records - but is a 50:50 with Chinook and Columbus ; ) Getting a great beer photo is assisted when you can get big skies like these: 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, neither. To qualify as a lager/pilsner it needs to be fermented with a lager yeast strain - and also lagered (cold storage). This is just a very light, hoppy ale fermented with a kveik yeast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 First taste of a kviek sour ale. A touch undercabonated still but a very nice beer. Will be better once it carbs up a touch more. Nice and Lemony from the lemon drop hops. Sour level is to my liking. I wasn't a fan of the kviek in the pale ale compared to new world strong when I did a side by side so I was struggling to think of ways to use it but it certainly works well in a sour and will be doing another shortly with a few tweaks 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiek86 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 @Bearded Burbler is that label on bottle? is it your home brew and u couldn't be bothered removing it or make your own? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little confusing maybe I guess... but I keg mostly now..... but then if there is a drop left - best to bottle up hey - and swingies are the best : ) And sometimes it seems I cannot find them for a while again haha?! The original is some festive country brew from Deutshi... got them 'on spesh' and now being re-used once again... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
