Looks like the business. I have a few of those glasses too, great for swilling.

Yeah the missus put it in the dishwasher and destroyed the print on it. So now it's my everyday glass. Nice and sturdy.

Well after moving some stuff around in the garage, I’ve stumbled across three big bottles stashed behind the dryer, under some other crud. Three bottles of a stout I made this time last year.  Fairly standard dry Irish type stout but after primary ferment I racked half the batch onto some staves that had been soaking in Irish whiskey. Initially I wasn’t over stoked on them. They were ok but I preferred the non Oaked version. Well after a year of solitary confinement, I can confirm Theyre bloody fantastic. Light roast, light coffee, light oak, light whiskey. Velvety mouthfeel.

Hey Burbler, that altbier looks amazing!

My comparison between two wheat beers.  One standard size batch, split into two craft fermenters.  One done with Lallemand Munich Classic and the other done with Fermentis WB-06.

MUNICH CLASSIC	WB-06
Been in the kegerator a week longer. Spicier clove aroma.  Just a little more tang in the nose. Better carbonation in the glass  Interestingly has a smoother flavour  Also reviewed this one 10 days ago.  The sourness it had then, that the WB-06 has now, has gone away	Still has a clove aroma, but a bit smoother Although more foam on pouring, it eased off  Spicier flavour, with a tinge of sourness.  No banana.  It will be interesting to see if the sourness fades like in the Munich Classic version.

Hi Jamie,

I make them up myself.  I usually google images of the type of brew I am doing and see if I can find an existing label that I can use as a base.  I add the brew name and the ABV.

I print off a sheet and put the sheet through my $20 K-mart laminator.  Cut up the cards, punch a hole in them, elastic band through the hole and then over the top of the bottles I fill.  It is a bit of phaffing around, but so is a brew day.  I think it adds a nice touch to my bottles.

[jamiek86]

@Shamus O'Sean if it's part of your hobby and helps you remember what's in them go for it I.think it's a good touch.

WB06 no banana??? I'm truly shocked!!!!

Houdini couldn't get banana out of WB06.

Great looking beers @Shamus O'Sean I love experiments, the craft fermenters are great for that.  Cheers.

I once did the Coopers English Bitter can with the kit yeast.  I brewed it at ambient, which in that case was a bit warm.  It produced lovely banana flavour.  Luckily it suited the beer.

It might be a case for doing a wheat beer with co-fermentation at say 23°C using a sachet of kit yeast and a sachet of WB-06.

Hey @CLASSIC, I feel another experiment coming on.

Sounds good, I have 2 brews going at ambient in 30l FV both sitting around 20-22 degrees although the Draught with s-04 is slightly higher.

Today I will be getting stocks for my Mr Beer Craft Kit & I want to crank that up to 11litres - maximum with LME & good yeast.

Tomorrow the Coopers FV 23l will go in the brew fridge with temp control - haven't worked out what yet.

I have been having a lot of luck at ambient for the last few months.

Cheers.

Graubster, your beer images are a true delight, I for one would definitely sneak into your Ponderosa whilst you are totally consumed in your alcoholic state & nick some of your lovely beers.

But I feel that you would have a 410 or some sort of Shot Gun poking out of your residence window to deter me. Having said that, Cheers Mate.
