Scottie Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 All grain Mosaic Ale Lovely hoppy aroma with hints of Passion Fruit, complex flavours and I'm picking up Guava. The malt shines through at the end, not nutty like an English Bitter but subtle hints of Caramel. A pleasant after taste that I just can't place, Caramel and something else.

Otto Von Blotto Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Drinking one of my many American pale ale recipes tonight while watching the cricket. Had a few earlier during today's brew day as well. Quite a nice brew I reckon. Rather fruity but it's hoppy fruity, not yeasty fruity, which I like. 4.00 kg Pale Malt, Maris Otter (5.9 EBC) Grain 1 80.0 % 0.50 kg Munich Malt - 20L (39.4 EBC) Grain 2 10.0 % 0.25 kg Cara-Pils/Dextrine (3.9 EBC) Grain 3 5.0 % 0.25 kg Caramel/Crystal Malt - 80L (157.6 EBC) Grain 4 5.0 % 12.00 g Magnum [12.20 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 5 14.2 IBUs 20.00 g Centennial [10.00 %] - Boil 30.0 min Hop 6 15.0 IBUs 30.00 g Chinook [13.00 %] - Boil 5.0 min Hop 7 7.6 IBUs US-05 Yeast.

Beerlust Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I'm glad the beer turned out to your liking Scottie! I knew you'd like it! Freakin' hot here in SA last few days. 40+ yesterday, & heading for something similar again today. So last night when I arrived home from work I threw a few tallies of the Redback Wheat Beer clone I brewed & bottled back in August last year into the fridge. Nice & light, & going down very easy on a hot day like today. Cheers & good brewing, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben 10 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Enjoyed a couple of Matilda Bay Ruby Tuesday's with dinner. It's a great beer' date=' I like how the bitterness is enough to balance the malt (unlike the Karl Strauss Red Trolley to my palette). [/quote'] Got well pissed for Valentines. Had a couple of Fat Cacks... not impressed. Then went the Ruby. That was really nice actually. Perhaps I should try and make an Amber next brew Lusty?

Beerlust Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hi Ben. ...Perhaps I should try and make an Amber next brew Lusty? I reckon you could make a really cool Amber Ale. As much as we are both hopheads' date=' the trick with this style is to lower their flavour influence enough so that apart from a good hop aroma, the malt character is allowed to shine through. For example, if I threw anything near the hop bill I used in my 250cc pale ale at this amber ale style, it would absolutely ruin it! Scottie's description of his Amber Ale (Post #501) is bang on with what you want from it (IMHO). The BJCP Style Guidelines for American Amber Ale are definitely worth a look to give you some idea about how to approach making one. I found the descriptors listed there very helpful when constructing my recipe. I feel if you are using more than say 80gms of reasonable alpha level hops for a 21-23 litre brew of this style, then you are probably using too much. The version I brew uses a total of 65gms. I really did learn a hell of a lot from my brewing of this beer. Particularly about balance between malt & hop. If the descriptors are true, I reckon your newly acquired Azacca hops would go very well in one of these Ben! Cheers & good brewing, Lusty.

Canadian Eh!L Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Canadian PEh!L Eh!L 2.4 Kg DME .3 Kg Crystal 60L .2 Kg dex 25g Perle 4.5% (40mins) 10g Magnum 13% (40mins) 25g Cascade 8% (10mins) 40g Cascade (0mins) 21L US-05 18C IBU 33.5 OG 1.049 FG 1.012 This one turned out very easy to drink. It is a nice Pale ale with a honey like sweetness. The hop presence is very aromatic and flavourful. It may be lacking in "pure" bitterness from a little more Magnum, but is a very nice drop otherwise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerlust Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Freakin' hot day again today here in Adelaide. 38ish I think. It felt a lot hotter working in the Drive-Thru today though. Currently slamming down this recent 5 hop paley I kegged about 3-4 days back. Yum! It would only get better if I left it alone to age a bit, but I can't see that happening to any real degree... I really need a few more kegs. Cheers, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnaman Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 G'day Brewers, drinking a "Fruit Salad Ale" , I made a couple of adjustments, 10 minute boil of the hops in the recipe and dry hopped with 16 grams of each. Bottled on 27th of January brew #30, very good drop indeed. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnaman Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Another sample of the "Toucan Stout" now 4 months in the bottle, it is now hitting it straps, good over all flavour, good mouth fell and loosing all the sharpness and harshness, far more harmonious unit, getting better each month.

Beerlust Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Good stuff MM! I'm currently drinking this surprising little Cascade/Motueka influenced Pale Ale. Very nice. Cheers, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porschemad911 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Having a pint of my saison after a couple of hours of tennis this afternoon. Prior to this I had a stubby of Epic Pale Ale from New Zealand. Man that was tasty, but I'm quite surprised and happy that I'm finding my saison just as enjoyable, albeit completely different.

ben 10 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 a 6.8% pale ale late hopped with Exp Pine and Vic Secret. Lovely beer, Vic Secret is an amazing hop. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beeblebrox Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I've been drinking a combo of recent brews, & some not so recent. The Artisan Reserve I brewed last year; towards spring, turned out fairly good, when I was patient enough to let the bottles sit in the fridge for about a month! Also been drinking some ESB American Pale Ale, some Coopers Real Ale - with added malt, & some Morgans Amber Ale. I still have some ESVA sitting around but that's better for cooler weather. Very much looking forward to cracking open some ESB Australian Draught with added Citra hops, which was only bottled last week, & eventually (after I've brewed it) some Coopers Wheat beer. I can't remember the last time I bought beer as a finished product, but my production of home brew is high enough, & enough stored that I won't need to drink any commercial beer for the foreseeable future, which is a good enough goal to achieve I guess. That said, if a craft or different style of beer strikes me, it's always good for inspiration when contemplating future brews. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnaman Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 G'day drinkers, just had a couple of my "Tweaked Hop Slam" only two weeks in the bottle, good carbonation and head, great flavour and should even get better.... Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porschemad911 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Agreed Magnaman. I had another bottle of my English Stout earlier this week ... it's a fantastic beer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnaman Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 G'day Drinkers, just downing a couple bottles of my "Dreadnought Bitter", here, it was based on the Battleship Bitter, I used different hops. It's only two weeks in the bottle but a nice drop now and will improve, so happy days.... Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben 10 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Big Red - just what I wanted after the first time I got this right. A big red rye, love it. White Trash IPA It worked. A big, bitter wheat beer. Early days yet but the Nelson really shines. 100 IBUs and Running.... NWA anyone? Good solid beer. Does not taste overy bitter at all. Again, early taste and I expect the hoppiness to increase later. I have found that it does up to a certain point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big red rye' date=' love it.[/quote'] Since there's now a few additional things I've been told I decided to do this weekend, it looks as though the best thing I can hope for is squeezing in a brew brew on Sunday or Monday. And not having B10s iron tongue, I'm hoping to do a toned-down Benny's Big Red. (Then when I noted the obvious error in Beersmith IBU calculations - see the different calculations for the tettnang additions, it's obvious I need to do some more work before finalising things). Hoping for something around 40 IBU.
