    11-11-11 Old Ale Swap and Critique Thread

    Wow that shocks me, there is now way I would have guess the beer I was tasting was 1.006!! It tasted much fuller, chewy almost. What and how much oak did you use?

    CA-LT 11.11.11 Poured with alot of head but quickly returned to a small ring. Was a dark amber in my glass. Smelled very sweet with a small amount of the tart cherry brett at the end. Tasted very much like a lot of the Old Ales I have had before, malty sweet, full bodied small amount of...

    CA-LT1's Torpedo Clone A- Bright Orange to Amber, bottle opened to a slight hiss. I didnt get much head on the beer but it was sufficiently carbonated. Very clear S- Right after pouring I got a sweet smell, I was then hit with the smell of citrus hops. Very Orange smelling, very pleasing...

    Good thats exactly what I got, lots of it in the aroma but very little taste. Im excited to try your 11.11.11 the brett pretty much completely took over mine.

    Glad you liked the Berliner Brian. It was indeed just wheat malt and pilsner malt. It turned out pretty good, I think it could have been just a little bit tarter but other than that I was happy with it. Were you able to detect any brett taste in it? It had a pretty good pellicle for awhile.

    I cant taste it at all in the water before brewing. This beer was kegged and tasted fine, so it is my belief that the water I used to make my starsan to sanitize the bottles got some chlorine from the pvc hose. I will try and change and see if that helps.

    Thanks Brian for the review! It is the first time in 10 years of brewing that someone else who homebrews has tried my beer. The only thing I can think of why the cholorphenols are in there would be from the hose I use to make my star san. It is a very old hose in the basement and I have never...

    I certainly dont need anything as complete as ohiobrewtus but I would love a quick post back here with a quick review from the people that I am sending my beer to.

    I can second that recipe. And I guess I could live with some people adding some of the others you listed as long as it was advised on the swap so we could try and taste the difference.

    I think this works, I can live with no crystal. So if we take this we need come up with an OG, oak or not and then the yeast we want to use.

    12-12-12 Wee Heavy Recipe Formulation

    I guess I dont understand, are you stating you think it fizzled because this recipe is not 'jazzy' enough for most people?

    12-12-12 Wee Heavy Recipe Formulation

    Im with you bottlebomber, the only variable should be MO or GP. And I like your recipe and second it. What yeast are you thinking? I am thinking 1728 for it should give some smoky characteristics.

    12-12-12 Wee Heavy Recipe Formulation

    I looks like everyone is planning on brewing something a little bit different. Atleast for the previous X/X/XX brews there was a pretty standard recipe that everyone followed. I guess I dont see the idea of everyone brewing the same style if it is going to be all different recipes. Slight...
