Since this is the most popular thread on the RealBeer.co.nz forum I thought I would start it here just to see what happens

Doooooooood. Thats one malty biarch. Niiiiiiice.

Lager to taste IMO. 2 week ferment, 2 weeks at 0ish or as long as your taste beds can handle.

I will call it Mr Malt!! Well all the beers ive been brewing are all hoppy as hell now its time for malty as hell!! There is no Balance in my brewery!!

[Mike Neilson]

Im having a strong realy active fermentation with my Dubel and dont want to take it out of the Temp controled freezer as it is likely to go to 26-28deg but then I have a Issue with fermenting my larger. What do you think about fermenting this beer with Wyeast 1968 or S04?

[Stu McKinlay]

How long has the Double been going? As long as it starts at a good temp, and you've pitched plenty of yeast, I'd have no problem letting it rise. That is what the Belgians do afterall....

[Mike Neilson]

True!! Pitched at 20deg and has been there since Friday 2 hour lag time. Mr Malty Calcs Pitched the right amount I may bite the bullet I still got 3 hours till I pitch a yeast on the Black beer thing!!

[Stu McKinlay]

Yeah, let it go. Give it some character.

[Mike Neilson]

Done!! I done it to the Imp IPA with no real problems. I Got it to attenuate too, that yeast is a demon!! I might have to get that vile back off ya!! lol:)

[Mike Neilson]

I had a couple early pints of this last night I can now vouch for this being Malty as Hell!! Its Fantastic!!!!!! Ive never tried something light and so malty in a lager!!! I going to try this as an ale!! Im finding a new love for malt!!!

Just mashed in the Hallertau Blande Ale Mk IV and having a coffee
Went with 15% Munich, 2.5% each caramalt & wheat and 80% ADM Pils
Life begins at 40 - 1.040 of course - and 25 IBU of Supurb Alpha and Hallertau

[MrC]

Any late hopping in there jt or are they all at 60min?

[jt]

Roughly 12 IBU Supurb alpha bittering, Hallertau 8IBU @30 min and 4 IBU @15 min then a handful at 1 min
I dry hopped the lats one in a lint free stocking and was dissapointed with the result, very moderate compared to throw the pellets in. May not bother with dry hops this time at all.

[MrC]

Sounds quite tasty for a blande ale.
