lachlanb Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Who here has been to 4 pines in manly? It a nice place near the wharf - they brew their own beer. Id love to brew something close to their pale ale. Which had a beautiful amber colour. A delicious drop. I just cant go spending 10 bucks every time i want one so it would be awesome if i could come up with something similar. Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 How good is 4Pines!! I love stumbling out of there after a few of thier Ales! You are so right though, pretty expensive![bandit] ... I made a batch of the "Ashes Ale" that is on the recipe section in this site and it turned out a little like that ale down there so maybe give that one a go too... I included the 200g of crystal malts and it gave it a really mice strong flavour and I used Hersbrucker Hops instead of what the recipe called for. I highy reccommend it!

lachlanb Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 might add that one to the massive list thats forming :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Waters Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Whenever I see something I want to try I add it to a "Things to brew list" I have sitting on my desktop. I just cross them out as I go...but yes the list tends to grow much faster than I can brew or drink [pinched] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brew Master Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 ......... so that's what you do with the mice in Fairlight! [unsure] Cheers, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Waters Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 It is the secret ingredient for the strong flavour Peter...tough to catch but worth the effort [tongue] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weggl Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Maybe the "mice" flavour might be better than some of the "Rats" piss I've made!![pinched] You slipped up there Ollie! They take no prisoners here![roll] Weggl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weggl Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Ollie cant you see from my post that thats what i intend to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weggl Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 My son inlaw goes to the Pines quite a bit. He reckons my Little Creatures and my Golden Ale beats their stuff hands down. He does however get me to brew him these products at cost. Do you think he might be bias? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
