What was:
Own recipe Pale Ale, Racked today and made starter for brew tomorrow from yeast slurry.
What's next:
Some sort of brown ale using goldings hops and aforementioned yeast slurry.
These are both partial mash own recipes, and I'll post them if they're good enough. the PA tasted pretty good coming from the hydrometer test flask.

Have put email on profile but not sure whether it is visible. Anyway - email is matt.linden111@gmail.com. Also tried the links to the beer clubs. Thanks for that. BTW a couple of the links/clubs are no longer avail.rwh wrote:Oh, and if you could add your email to your profile, that might help!
Opened one of my honey wheat beer last night over a BBQ. Very nice..............
Tasting notes on the Pale Ale (partial mash):
This was my first beer made with liquid yeast, and although I haven't really controlled for other variables compared with other brews, but going by general consensus on this forum, I can easily attribute the supreme awesomeness of this beer at least partly to the wYeast American Ale II culture affectionatly named "George" by my younger sister.
(actually she origionally named the BEER George, not the yeast itself, but after I kept saying things like "George is happily bubbling away in the shed" etc, and finally when I made another culture of the yeast slurry named "George the second" the name stuck)
Anyway, George's work is greatly appreciated. On Thursday I tried my first stubby (2 weeks after bottling). The first thing I noticed was chill haze, but after that, it was nothing but delicious beer, and to tell you the truth, chill haze doesn't do anything to the taste. The Pale Ale behaved more like a 6 month old beer than a terrible 2-weeker, and the head was not only of kilkenny proportions (the last mouthful out of the glass was head), but it left dense rings on the side of the glass for most of the way down.
Taste wise, the bitterness was balanced well, and the hop flavours and aromas made it an interesting beer as well as a solid session beer. I reckon I could detect a hint of butterscotch, again making it interesting and complimenting the other flavours.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to sampling George the Second's work, and since the PA recipe was my own and I'd break no copyright infringements in doing so, I'll post the recipe when I get home from work.

I just don't like to post other people's recipes that I paid for. Sometimes I brew recipes from "The Complete Joy of Homebrewing" by Charlie Parpazian. He's spent lots of time putting togeather a brilliant manual and recipe book on the subject, and I don't want to rip him off by giving his recipes out for free.OldBugman wrote:copyright infringments in homebrewing?!?!

Yep. See Palmerblandy wrote:Am I right in saying that chill haze can be avoided by cooling the wort faster?

Deffinately, i was thinking about getting one of his books but from having a good read of his site i dont think i will worry bout it, there is plenty of info there and certainly enough for me at the moment considering all the info i collect off here, thought my brain was going to explode a little while back but we got through itgregb wrote:I bought the book and I refer to it (and others) a lot. It is however alot easier to quote Palmer and throw in a link than type out a chunk of text then attribute it properly.

Brought myself two tins of Malt Shovel Two Row Lager, looking forward to try this out.
Going to bottle my first Thomas Cooper's Draught using Saflager yeast this evening, it's been in the fermination tank for nearly 20 days now.
Hope my first lager experiment will go well.
Anyone got any suggestions about the Malt Shovel's Lager?
Oh by the way, also going to brew Thomas Cooper's Pilsner as well, good thing I got three fermation kegs now.
Good thing I have a deal with the local recycler depot guy to ensure I have ever never ending supply of longnecks
Cheers. Damon

This is quite a naughty little two-week-old now! Anyway, firsst tasting on Thursday was quickly followed by second tasting on Friday. What better wat to celebrate me almost but not quite being knocked off my bicycle by a car merging into the bike laneblandy wrote:What was:

.Anyway, to cut a long story short, if it wasn't for all of the other styles of beer out there I need to make, I'd brew this all the time and be completely happy. The 40+ IBU really gives it a kick (sort of like being hit over the head with a suitcase full of money, that's a good thing), and will make it a really good hot day beer. Even at two weeks, the head leaves some fancy lacework. I'll post my recipe when I'm home next, probably Sunday.
As for what's next. swot vac is coming up soon, and I usually do a brew in this week. I'm thinking I might give winemaking a go if the temperatures are right. When exams are over, I'll get out the all-grain gear and head for G&G. ATM I'll probably make a blonde and a bitter.
