Brauhaus Fritz Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 (edited) Fritz’s New Hop(e) ABV 4.7% This aptly named brew was the hopeful try to improve a Brigalow New. With the dry hopped addition of some Kiwi experimental hop NZH-107 it turned out quite nice. NZH-107 is a proprietary experimental hop blend developed jointly between New Zealand Hops, Ltd. and Brewers Supply Group and showcases intense tropical fruit and citrus character. The aroma is intense tropical fruit (guava/passion fruit) with citrus (grapefruit/lime) aroma characteristics. NZH-107 is an excellent hop solution for hop-forward styles like IPAs, pale ales, and dry-hopped pale lagers.

Brigalow Munich Lager, steeped and dry hopped with some East Kent Golding hop, adding the right amount of bitterness. Well done Mr. Fritz! Can't buy Brigalow Munich lager at the LHBS here. Did it years ago. Was a good drop. Their pilsner is fabulous. Edited March 1, 2022 by oldbloke 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth I have most of them range very ordinary & I wouldn't buy anymore but that's only my opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I just saw them and thought I'll try them out. they where super cheap. after searching for some information about Brigalow and reading mainly negative comments I decided to play around with some Hops I bought for experimenting sake and they turned out alright. One comment described the taste of Brigalow cider like and I can see why 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too coconutty atm but easy to drink. Not my best concoction but there is potential. I’ll give it one more go with a different approach, then I will archive the recipe. The time it takes isn’t worth the result so far. Looks good, must admit I’m not much of a cocktail kind of a bloke unless it’s a Vesper Martini: problem is one’s not enough and two’s too many… Easier to deal with beer Edited March 1, 2022 by stquinto 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon some of those kind of things are marketed for “what shall we get him for Christmas?” “Oh, I found some fancy beer glass, that’ll keep him quiet” occasions. I do like a branded glass for the right beer mind, in Belgium most cafés or bars have the right glass for each beer, and there might be more than 50 available 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty ordinary at first I have to say, but now it’s great. I only did a 10 litre batch because that’s all I can manage on my stovetop.

Even that can still be ok, just changes a bit. Defo the case for strong ones; I just had a Brew A which is at least 6 months old and now it’s a beauty! Pretty rough around the edges until a month ago 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty rough around the edges until a month ago I agree. With the hoppy pale ales and IPA’s it’s a bit of a trade off. The hop flavour is stronger early on, and I have a hunch that the stronger hop presence hides any flaws in the beer which are cleaned up with a bit of aging… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennyss Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 I love the glamour beer shots; and @Brauhaus Fritzcreative backdrops! I have five longnecks left of my first kit lager brew. I'll have to go commercial because my second brew, a Coopers kit pale ale will not be touched until 15th March. I'm not going to make a third brew until I taste and compare and decide what to try next. And I'm still very much still fine tuning my basic brew techniques. For example, I'll be using already used Pet bottles for the first time. I'll have to clean and dry them well I think. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stquinto Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Glad to hear it @jennyss! It takes a while to get the hang of the brews at first it but it falls into place. The handy thing here is there’s lots of advice for all levels. I thought I was doing well with the kits, went on to BIAB with some beginner’s luck, but got into AG is causing me a few problems… but I’ll sort ‘em I know so ‘coz there’s plenty of advice As to the photos, you b*ggers put up pictures of the beach, and I’m landlocked, so I’ll show you my season (a bit snowy in the mountains) Anyway the beers look good with a bit of backlight 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben 10 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Berliner Weisse, one day in the keg. Dry, crisp and interesting. Umm, grassy hay aroma, tart taste, slightly lemony perhaps. For those listening at home this was fermented for 6 months at room temperature in a stainless steel FV in the lounge room. It's proper interesting. 5%, 5 ibu, astringent and clean, will be interesting to see how it is in a month 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben 10 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Kveik APA that became infected with my house yeast (not something I'd prefer). It tastes like bitter orange with something odd. I like it. 6% + and 65 IBU 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
