Red devil 44 Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 Here is another, my Munich Helles, very smashable this one. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 My Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Subtle citrus aromas. Similar flavour. Bitterness fairly well balanced. It has been a while since I have had a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. So I do not remember exactly what they taste like. However, this one tastes pretty close to what I remember. I guess it should because I took the recipe from their website. Although I used Maris Otter instead of American Ale Malt. I do not brew the same recipe more than once too often. However, this could be a re-do-er. 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus O'Sean Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 My Oktoberfest Lager-y, beer-y aroma. Herbs and Spice Lovely depth of flavour from the main three malts (Pilsner, Munich and Vienna) 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stquinto Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 (edited) First tasting of a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Brewed on the 8th October, cold crashed 20th, and just got back from my trip so I put a pluto gun on the kegzilla just for a bit of quality control. My oh my! Any doubts I had about the last-minute yeast swap (I only had MJ 54 - Californian lager, and not MJ44 - American West Coast ale), or 138g of cascade, have vanished like the morning dew (I know, I should have been a poet…) Bit darker than yours @Shamus O'Sean, but hey! I’ll post the recipe up tomorrow if anyone is interested Edited October 23, 2022 by stquinto Typo 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my Medium Crystal might not be medium, but more like light crystal. I got it from somebody selling their stuff and it was only labelled Crystal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 The keg of Pale Ale just blew so I am having the next best thing, one of the bottles from the batch, very nice & crisp after 3 weeks in the bottle, there is a slight 'tang' that I would never have picked up before since kegging. I will be kegging the Coopers Draught so that was good timing Cheers. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pale Man Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 FWK, All in brewing IPA that Hoppy gave me I'm not sure what to make of this beer. It was tasty when i kegged it yesterday but now is a bit grassy. Dry hopped with Cascade and Amarillo. Its really murky too. I guess I'm impatient. Two days in the keg is too short a time to judge. 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good @Pale Man what is your procedure for carbing the keg, do you whack up the psi to 30-40 for 24 hours ? I am kegging a beer in the morning & was going to do 30 for 24 hours. Cheers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this one I chucked on 20 psi as the Hoppster is coming over Wednesday for a crack. I'll leave it on 20 psi tonight aswell and should be carbed enough. 30 psi for 24 hours should also do the trick. But your beer will be green. I'm used to green beer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say G'day to Hopman for me. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Parity Amber Ale Stashed away a few of these for later.. Now, it's time, 86 days in the bottle, I don't think it got any better! Great Beer, one of my better ones but the Trendy Trousers Amber that I did after this one, is definitely Better! Second place in the Amber stakes. Very happy with it. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Sadly, this is absolutely my last bottle of Dark Ale, it looked a bit lonely in the bar fridge, so I cracked it. Absolutely at its peak at 2.5 months IMO. I would like to try this out of the keg with my Stout tap but maybe next time. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I’ll always be a fan of the SNPA and would hold them up there as the originator, a recent revisit of the beer left me a little disappointed. Not sure if it’s just because we have such a great variety of beers to choose from these days or imported beers like that just don’t have much life in em by the time they get bere. Would love to try the beer fresh from the source. anyway, Great looking beer and I bet it tastes fab. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 This is the first pour of the Coopers Draught that I kegged 2 days ago, apart from being nicely 'carbed up' after 48 hours on 30psi, it doesn't taste green but I do realise it will taste better each day - I wonder how many days it will last 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stquinto Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 An Old Peculier clone, at least 9 months in the bottle. A bit too much head, but otherwise a beautiful drop From the Graham Wheeler book, I’ll repost the recipe 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
