New beer time! This one is from a recipe that was given to me by my friends at Dangerous Ales in Milton on the south coast of NSW. It packs a lot of punch with Citra + Sabro and Mosaic.
Thank you - itâs a bit of a rush though to find somewhere with nice light in the yard, put the glass down (empty) get the settings right⌠run to pour a beer, run back (spilling some), shoot it in changing light and then realise the head on the beer has disappeared.
Here we have my very first lager. I wasnât big on the style but I have had some amazing examples in this last year which has had me see the light⌠lagers are damn good on a sunny and hot day.
Is this a traditional lager? Nope. Born Sippy is a bit of a fruity lager with a kiss of Sabro and Galaxy thrown into the mix.
Choose a life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose to homebrew.
What? Youâve got your own branded glass wear? Hurry up and open a brew pub already!
Clarity looks to be on point.
Brooklyn Lager convinced me that lagers could be good, but then again, they just threw a whole lot of hops at it so Iâm not sure how true to style it is.
Pilsner Urquell off the wood at the brewery is transcendent, but the canned stuff is average.
The branded glassware was a secret santa present last year. Itâs the first time I have really used it as it is a lager glass. It is pretty tall and JUST fits under my tap! haha.
I had my first Pilsner Urquell (bottle) the other week, it was really good.
Latest out of the brew shed (kind of, got a few things on at the moment) is my summer sour. Last year I went with the expected raspberry which was a hit. This time I went with a heavy hit of lychee and a dash of passionfruit. Coming in at 4%, this one has been a favourite with visitors.
I have been reading about some different styles of beer lately when I came across the Trappist Single. I am not a huge fan of strong beers, so itâs not likely I will ever brew a tripel or quad. However, the description of the Trappist single appealed to me - especially as an approachable beer to have with dinner or a few at a time.
With the help of a wise Canberra Brewers club member - I created a recipe and fermented the beer using lallemand abbaye yeast. Whilst I have been told that it should get better in a couple of months, itâs drinking well currently.
