AB Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Gday All, Anyone out there with a redback recipe? Love this beer and want to give it a crack.
Muddy Waters Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 G'day Andrew - I haven't got a recipe myself but THIS THREAD over on AHB might give you some ideas.
Canadian Eh!L Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 Hey Andrew, I was just reading about a Red Back clone in 'The Brew Master's Bible'. It goes something like this: Barley-Wheat "Red" Ale 1.8Kg Pale Malt Extract 1.8Kg Wheat Malt Extract 120g Roasted Barely 42g Fuggles (60mins) 14g Fuggles (5ins) 1 packet Doric dry ale yeast 19L water OG 1.057 FG 1.014 ABV 5.6% It also goes on to adding some finnings but I wouldn't bother. The funny thing is the reason I was reading this recipe is I happen to put something down sort of similar last week![cool] Maybe you could try 1.7Kg OS Draught 1.5Kg WDME 100g Roasted Barely hops of your choice US-05 or Kit yeast made to 19L BTW, I've never tried a Red Back so I don't really know what the hell I'm talking about.[pinched]
weggl Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 Chad, A Red Back in Aussie is the same as a Yanky Black Widow spider but with a bright red stripe on the back of the female. Will kill young people and those who don't drink Coopers.[crying] [crying]
Canadian Eh!L Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Creepy![crying] I think I'll take my chances with cold temperatures(today -20C) and the Grizzly bears.[alien]
Muddy Waters Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 It is when you go to sit down and take a dump that a redback is most likely to strike...I've never had a grizzly bear come out of my toilet thank goodness.
Canadian Eh!L Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 No, I've never seen a Grizzly come out of the toilet. I wish I had a toilet near by everytime I've been face to face with one of these big guys![biggrin] At least a grizzly is less likely to catch you with you pants down, eh?[roll]
Guest Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 We really don't have too many bears around here. A Koala Bear I guess, but they're not really a bear. Although... we do have Drop Bears that live in trees. These are dangerous critters to beware of.

It can be rather deadly! [innocent]

Canadian Eh!L Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Although... we do have Drop Bears that live in trees. These are dangerous critters to beware of. OK... What's the story on Drop Bears?[unsure]
***** Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Although... we do have Drop Bears that live in trees. These are dangerous critters to beware of. OK... What's the story on Drop Bears?[unsure] I've only seen a couple. They normally live in tall trees and drop out/down onto unsuspecting American tourists (before you take offense Chad I'm not calling you an American, I\u2019ve just never seen a Canadian fall into their trap).
Guest Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Some info on Drop Bears here Some people don't believe in them and joke about it, but I have see a few in the bush in Tassie. There are also signs in certain areas to beware of them.
Canadian Eh!L Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Bill, Nice one! you almost had me there until I noticed the distribution map. I might try some Vegemite behind the ear to keep the grizzlies at bay. That stuff tastes so bad that a bear wouldn't even think about having a bite.[bandit]
Guest Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 It's no myth though and that distribution map is actually pretty accurate, albeit I can never understand why they alway place the logo of the head in the middle of Aust. as it is known that there are no Drop Bears there, actually there's not much of anything there at all. They reside down the East of Aust. Vegemite, my kids love it. I must say I have vegemite more often than any other topping for sandwiches or toast. mmmmm!!!... it puts lead in your pencil and hairs on your chest!
TonyW Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Vegemite yumm [love] on toast, thick, with strong cup of coffee. Now if i showed the Tiger snake i nearly put my foot on, and managed tophotograph at the Bay Of Fires in Tassie last March you wouldnt give 2 hoots about drop bears.
Guest Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 lol yeah the Tigers are around at the moment too. My neighbours killed one going down my drive only about 3 weeks ago now.
Canadian Eh!L Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Vegemite...[sick] Tiger snakes![crying] Drop Bears.[wink] [biggrin]
TonyW Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 And here he is[biggrin] Whos a pretty boy then [kissing] One of the 10 most deadly in the world [devil]
weggl Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Chad the reason there's no Drop Bears in the middle of OZ is because there aint no bloody trees, nothing to drop out of. Tony, that aint a Tiger Snake, that's a Yellow bellied Black. Didyaallknow that Red Back babies get blown into different locations by the wind? Thats a fact. So yaaint safe anywhere.[devil]

So yaaint safe anywhere.[devil] No thats a Tiger believe me, there is no snake officially known as the "Yellow-bellied black snake". In Tasmania the Tiger tend to be darker because of the colder climate. I know my snakes and have even been tagged by a copper head. I spend most of my free time in the bush and the Outback and have done since i was a kid. Tasmanian Tiger Snake description: The markings are extremely variable and should not be used in isolation to identify snakes. Colours range from jet black, through yellow/orange with grey bands to sandy grey with no bands. There are unconfirmed reports of red-bellied tiger snakes in north-east Tasmania. Typical forms are of a black snake with either no bands or faint yellow to cream bands. Dark olive snakes with yellow bands are fairly common.
