Soundawake Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Currently drinking my latest creation - 'Triple Threat.' Golden Promise malt, rye malt and a touch of Caramunich. Bittered with Centennial, flavoured with Cascade and Citra. Its a bloody cracker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 Hey Soundawake Sounds awesome, I really enjoyed the one brew I did with Cascade and Citra. The hops are on my to do list and perhaps I should do a triple malt and triple hop myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidB Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Turns out it was the Parity Amber Ale from the recipe section, one of my regular go to brews. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Having a pint of the Sunkissed Weiss at the mo'. I have it on tap for serving tomorrow, along with my usual "House Beer" (low alcohol version of American Amber Ale). Plan to start off the 12 Beers of Christmas tomorrow with "Secret Santa", a Belgian Quadrupel from Denmark, I think ( most of the print is in another language, which looks like Danish)?? On the other hand, at 10.5% ABV, maybe I should end the day with it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerlust Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 ...On the other hand' date=' at 10.5% ABV, maybe I should end the day with it...[/quote']Bah! Skip the Egg Nog (actually I think that's a Xmas Eve thing?? Ohh well!) & start the day off with your Belgian Quadrupel PB2! I bet you'll have a much more interesting day, & spend a larger quantity of it being "Merry". Hehe! :D Christmas cheers, Anthony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerlust Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 What am I drinking atm? A Saison Dupont Clone, a pleasant Cascade FWH APA, just starting to tickle a few Steam beers from the HTB section recipe using Cluster, & also my BEST beer to date, a Citra FWH'd Centennial/Amarillo hopped brew, that uses a mixture of Falconer's Flight, Cascade, Simcoe, Galaxy, Mt. Hood, Amarillo, & Centennial for the dry hop. Over the moon about this one! I'm thinking of re-brewing it & having it judged at some point. In the next few weeks to a month, I have my Creamy Riwaka/Nelson Sauvin Fruit Salad Ale using a good whack of oats to sample, along with this heavily hopped Riwaka/Nelson Sauvin/Amarillo Cascadian Dark Ale/Black IPA that will probably be ready for some serious drinking in late January/to mid February. Good times ahead. :) Cheers, Anthony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundawake Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Hey Soundawake Sounds awesome' date=' I really enjoyed the one brew I did with Cascade and Citra. The hops are on my to do list and perhaps I should do a triple malt and triple hop myself Rye and Citra go together like peas and carrots. A marriage made in heaven. A case in point is the British brewery Moor's beer, called RYPA. Its bloody sensational. Filled with rye and Citra. If you can find it, get it. Or, I can post my recipe if you like and you can give it a crack. Currently I'm drinking Sixpoint Brewery's Resin imperial IPA. Good lord. What a beer.

Scottie Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Well Guys I couldn't wait. So I am drinking my Golden Ale. Now I have said many times before that I have brewed my best beer ever. Hairy sorted me out on that outlandish statement and therefore I am loathe to say it again. What I will say is that after more than two years and 60 odd brews I now have my got to Ale, my house beer if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben 10 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Last night I cracked "Beautiful One Day". A 4.4% Pale @ 33.8 IBUs. Fermented with BRY-97 and predominantly hopped with Vic Secret. A healthy 40g dry hop with Vic Secret really sets this one off. Amazing melon and mango on the nose with a nice and understated melon flavour coming through. Stunning hop, lovely drop.

Otto Von Blotto Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Finishing off my SNPA clone batch while the other half is making a start on the stout we brewed recently. Definitely gonna do the SNPA again, the stout may become an experiment of sorts on subsequent attempts. Either way both beers are tasting really good! I'm beginning to subscribe to Philbo's theory about not bothering to age them because even after two or three weeks they are kickin arse. Although the stout would probably benefit from a few months in the bottle, all the other ones we've done have been great fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerlust Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Currently drinking a mix of my Centennial/Amarillo/Citra APA, a Riwaka/Nelson Sauvin Fruit Salad Ale using the CCA yeast, & the recent RotM Steam beer using Cluster for the extra hop inclusion. With a CPA/CSA hybrid type beer almost ready, a Sorachi Ace/Simcoe Pale Ale (experimental brew) fermented with that damn BRY-97 yeast (hopefully successful), & a few of "The Chad Eh?" Ales in the mix over the coming months.... ...Happy times ahead. :) Cheers, Anthony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Took a couple of my Saisons to a mates place last night. Improving all the time, Mega Swill mate reckons it was alright and after we drank all mine he got himself a XXXX Gold which he said now tasted like water. Sweet Victory Tasting: A touch of spice and tart fruit, not overly bitter probably could have been touched up a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Drinking my Mosaic Golden Ale on my alcohol free day. It is tasting pretty good and couldn't resist. Monday and Tuesday were AFDs so I guess it's OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 My First Pils, again it's a bit heavier than I'd like but at 5.1% it's probably true to style. It ismuchmore exciting than my two previous Lagers. A simple partial mash 23 litres TC Pilsner Kit 2kg Joe White Pilsner Malt 25g Saaz @ 10 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben 10 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Having a sneaky early - ie I am running low on stock due to 2 x infections - taste of my Amberillo. Nice, sweet, can taste the kg of wheat I put in there. More Amarillo would have been good, nice hop though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 Steve L's EB Porter It is quite possible that people get sick of me talking this one up but hey its so good This is the second last bottle of my original batch from April 2012 . Time has not wearied this brew, there is no kit twang (as I have experienced with other aged brews > 12 months). I don't believe that I will brew this again as I will set out to emulate it using a Partial recipe . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
