Uhtred Of Beddanburg Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 @Tone boy I have found you need to at least double the flavor hops for a ROM. In the early days of using extra hops it was fine. As soon as you do a few with extra its hard to go back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my first ROTM and really happy with it. Cheers 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha yes I have found that verdant is very light and floaty at the bottom of the bottle, and is easily stirred up. I decided to just do one pour into the jug and leave the sediment behind with this brew, rather than doing the old back and forth with multiple pours from the bottle and stirring it up. It has a bit of hop material in the sediment I think, it’s quite bitter. But yes, I didn’t drink straight from the jug I promise!! Normally it’s not a problem with the yeasts I use. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to do the one long pour, usually just use two glasses. I don't need to with most brews but it's now a habit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussiekraut Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 Manneken Pis, my take on a Belgian blonde. It was one of the last beers brewed at the old place. It started off not particularly nice tasting but improved a lot over time. Now, 10 weeks in the keg, it is even better 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldcoast Crow Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I must admit, a good, dark ale/porter/stout style beer really does look good on a glass? 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stquinto Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Another try of the Orval clone. Hmm… the brett is a bit overpowering. Better leave it another three months 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always wondered how Orval manage to make this beer adding brett at bottling. A point or two of gravity higher and you would get too much brett. A point or so lower and you wouldn't get enough. They must finish bang on everytime or blend beer or something to get around the variability. Still it looks pretty good from here mate. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point This brew was one of my earlier ones with the Grainfather, and I hadn’t got the hang of it with volumes. Probably didn’t help that I chucked in the whole vial of Brett in a mere 14 l batch… This ain’t a session beer that’s for sure! It’s not that strong, just pretty pungent. I won’t be tipping it, just be having one once in a while. Shame they’re in the original Orval bottles, so I can’t reuse them very soon. They are the best Belgian bottles, they are the heaviest, and the most attractive shape too. You live and learn eh? Maybe this type of beer with have to be my nemesis, and I’ll just buy them. I’ve got a slab of the originals gathering dust underneath something else in my dungeon somewhere so not to worry 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stquinto Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I’m not sure about the appropriate glass for the Vintage 22. Lovely drop- beautiful combo of malt and hops… I’ve got a few more to look forward to A stemmed glass seems right 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I like the look of this one, I will give this a go. @jennyss This would be a good one for you to try given that it says to use Kveik Yeast. No problems at Summer temperature without temp control. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted February 8, 2023 Share Posted February 8, 2023 This is one of the bottles of Real Ale, the same brew that is in the keg, just over 2 weeks in the bottle. It was dry hopped late & it is very aggressive in the bottle, I had to pour the rest into a jug as the bottle was going to take off. Extreme hop burst & a little hop matter forced upwards after opening but the experience is worth it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the keg now, tastes delicious! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a gusher, but the beer was cleaner and more delicious than the bottles without any hop matter in them. I wonder why it does that? Happened to a few bottles in the batch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday I had an original one I stored since it came out in my beer dungeon. Wow it was soo good. Put one of mine in the fridge today to try later. Will have to put one of each in the fridge for an an and b test 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
