I have used flaked maize, and never loved the result. I was at a brewery yesterday, and they had a mex lager with "Soft malted Corn". I tried it and although it was on the sweet side, i quite liked it. In fairness, i had just had a pint of dark mild, so it may have been relatively sweet instead...

I brew rice lagers in summer. I like them, so almost always have one on tap. Always lower gravity ( 1.040 ) or less and light bodied to drink lots of

I've used 029 for many hoppy styles ( amber, APA etc ) and it is quite clean and lets hops shine. It was my house yeast for a while. Great yeast. Ironically i didn't think it was good for kolsh. Too clean

I think beer styles from a home brewing perspective are only there so that there can be beer comps. No other reason. Its not a bad thing. Now im off to brew my lasagne banana licorice oyster white cascadian belgian stout for the upcoming pale ale comp. Feels good to yell at the clouds now and...

There's an animal here

Not dead!

Its been about 30hrs and its going nuts, so i just added the sugar. I'll check it in 3 or 4 days and see where its at.

Rainy weekend here, pitched one pack into what was meant to be a kostrizer type dark lager. All the colour comes from 120g Sinamar. I normally use 30g, but decided to push it as far as i was game. Anyway i pitched at 23c, with my bucket buddy set to 28c. Should be at 28c in a few hours easily...

I love that malt for all light ales and lagers. Expensive here too but worth it Last current lot waiting for a helles or similar.

I use S23 at 15c with no issues. I really like it though.

I think they age better in bottles. Flavour develops. I don’t drink them for a month, usually 3

Spelt saison while watching my first AFL game on tv. I thought there was an NRL game on but was wrong. I’m keen to have a beer so I’ll try to watch ( and understand) an AFL game

I only bottle saison in champagne bottles with high levels of carbonation. I think its definately worth the hassle of bottling

I ordered 2 packs. I will try my regular spelt saison and give it a go at the same warm temps, and bottle as i normally do with saison.

I've switched to dry from liquids for british ales and now lagers, but still use Wyeast for saison. I might have to give this one a go.

If the bitterness is almost rough and metallic, you've nailed it. I think the Pale ale is better. It used to be found regularly on tap. It's unfiltered on tap, so it changes as the keg gets drunk. I haven't seen it on tap here (NSW) for a long time. Well, its not common to see anyway. Many...
