Case Swap recipes

[Reviled]

Thought it would be cool to have a recipe thread for the case swap so we all know what were expecting... Im doing a batch next weekend, still unsure what I will do yet... But,

Im thinking of using this one as I tried it last night and it was very interesting :o)

1kg Maris Otter
1kg Pilsner
1kg Munich
500g Weyermann Smoked
300g Cara Wheat
100g Cara Munich II
200g Cara Hell

60 min : 15g Southern Cross 13%
15 min : 15g Amarillo 8.4%, 10g Williamette 7.5%
5 min : 15g Amarillo, 8g Williamette
Flame out : 12g Amarillo

Used US-05 yeast, final volume 22 litres, OG of 1037 and FG of 1010, alc 4% on the dot

This had a superb Amarillo hop aroma bursting out of the glass, followed by a smooth maltiness and an awesome slight smokiness to the bitter finish which really compliments the earthiness of the Williamette hops... So yeah, was really happy with this one :o)

Hey Reviled, just getting into this as I type.

It's a style I've never tried before and I guess I'm finding it hard to figure out if it's a good example of the style. My thoughts:

Physical: Poured a huge rocky head. It's quite highly carbed...is this to style?

Aroma: Lots of fruit aromas.

Taste: again, nice restrained use of rauchmalt. It's roasty but you can definitely tell there's more to the flavour. You can pick up loads of fruity aromas.

All in all, it's a decent beer, probably a style I'm not too fond, rather than anything wrong with your brewing. Still it's been an interesting drink.

[Reviled]

Cheers for the feedback buddy...

Its not really a style I have all that much, just something I enjoy from time to time...

A weizen is normally highly carbed, allthough my particular dunkel was a tad on the sweet side, I find if you actually tip the yeast into the beer before you drink it, it can bring a bready bitterness to the mix.. Weizens are traditionally drunk with the yeast...

Good to say youve tried one now tho aye? :o)

[Reviled]

Bump... Case swap successfull :o)

Above are my two recipes, update here with your recipes and tasting notes...

[Rusty Chch]

Sweet,

The recipe for mine is on the labels but I believe I got the FG wrong.

[Reviled]

What NZ saaz did you use? Riwaka or Motueka?

And Barry, I really want to know what hops you used in your Pale Ale please :o)

[Rusty Chch]

They're packaged as NZ saaz unfortunately. Not that you'll be able to discern them, it really is MASSIVELY underhopped.

[Reviled]

Random, whered you get those from? This is that lawn mower beer you did a while back yeah? Is it quite sweet. ..

Hey Rusty, was just reading through a thread on AHB about party kegs out of garden sprayers, did you end up making one or not?

[James P]

He has homework to do first, his stirplate!!

I have 1/2 of the parts, just need to get the bulk head and a tap!

[Reviled]

Slack, come on Rusty, pick up your game mate, you were asking about it a year ago ;oP lol

[Rusty Chch]

I'm a shocker mate. I'm all talk.
