Classic Brewing Co Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) Just testing the new Hoegaarden glass with a stout, @Aussiekraut is that allowed? Tastes pretty damn nice, I could have asked my old mate @Pezzza but he is MIA.

stquinto Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Duvel clone again. Wish I’d done a double batch. I’ve noticed it is much, much better after at least 3 months in the keg 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to agree with you there Malter, but I don't mind the Witbier, I think Hoegaarden revived it, most Belgium beers I like, Stella Artois but of course that's a Larger!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know which Hoegaarden I tried but it was about 7 years ago in Singapore, so it was expensive as well as bad. It was a cloudy orange colour with white head and because it was so expensive I wasn't going to leave it behind. I drank that sucker through gritted teeth. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSands Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 A somewhat disappointing head performance on this one, but otherwise this Taiheke Pale Ale is actually a very nice beer on what is turning out to be yet another wet "Summer's" day... 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben 10 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Berliner Weisse. Using https://wyeastlab.com/product/berliner-weisse-blend/ for the fifth time, full repitch onto the cake. Autolysis is apparently not an issue with a longe ferment - this was 5 months - as all the bad bits get eaten. 6% apparently. Nicely sour, dry, pungent on the nose. Kinda umm, Brett (for those that know) - grass, hay, farmhouse for sure. Very refreshing. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldcoast Crow Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Into my first stout, after about 3 weeks it’s tasting really gd… my question is, I’ve heard of a chocolate stout but has anyone done a chilli stout, I have these Carolina reapers which need to be used 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stquinto Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 2 hours ago, beach_life said: frigde or cellar temp? In the cellar for about 6 weeks (approx 14°C) then in the keezer for the other 6 weeks at 3°C-ish. It's quite a long brew : ferment at 20° for about a week, then 24° for a few more days, then 26° for a few more. Finally 0 - 3° for 20 days. So you're looking at 4 - 5 weeks before even kegging it. Then 3 months in the keg. Hmmm... quite long time, but TBH it's night and day compared to a "fresh" brew. I have one in my newly-converted brew fridge comig towards the end of the 24°C stage. I mucked it up a bit as I had the heat pad plugged into the cooling plug on the InkBird Doh ! Anyway, I would like to knock up a cuppla brews and leave them in the corner to mature. Once I'm happy with them I might also bottle a few from the keg. I would do a double brew but have had a few teething problems sizing up the brews with the GrainFather software. On second thoughts I can onyl do one at a time as I only have one brew fridge ... If you're interested I'll post the recipe I used 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you Phil... I am gradually collecting kegs, fill 'em and stash some. I'm also trying (trying being the operative word..) to have a cuppla dry days a week. Ideally three. I entertained myself by counting all of my drinks with an App call Drink Control.... strewth ! The results are enough to make you reach out for a stiff one ! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
