HB Kölsch again because ya know...

Tried the first bottle of Festbier and Schwarzbier today, after conditioning 2 weeks (couldn't wait!). Both taste good, but the Fest needs a bit more carb time.

 

[BrewerofBeers]

Nearly all Golden Promise with just a touch of Special B, bitterness of 40 IBU with Centennial to balance the pub style malt backbone. A heavy dose of Mandarina Bavaria for 20 minutes in the boil to add mystery. A moderate dose of Centennial again late in the boil, purely for aroma to balance the malt. Comes out at 5.4% ABV.

Brewed a split batch with WY1318 London Ale vs WY1084 Irish Ale. Still deciding which I like best. I think it's the 1318. But when I drink them, I think of an English pub ale and an Irish pub ale, respectively -- what can I say. Here is the 1084:

Was it meant to be hazy? No
Is it tasty? Yes

Test batch on a new system after my 2 year break from brewing. All ingredients were purchased prior to the break, earning the name of Stale Pale. 4% tasty yard beer for these crisp 90° Florida days

Mockoktoberfest with Saison yeast after almost two months of maturation, including one month in the refrigerator. If I didn't know it wasn't the real Ocktoberfest with lager yeast, I'd say it was the original.

Cheers from Prague!

Pilsner at a beer garden in Dresden, Germany a few days ago.

 

[mattman91]

Unfiltered Pilsner Urquell straight from the source in Pilsen.

 

[Erik the Anglophile]

I've been there! I barely remember it though...

 

[kadozen]

You're just being a show off. I freaking love it

I thought this thread was reserved for pics of homebrew, since the thread "what are you drinking now?" covers commercial brews/drinks..?

Unless it's one of the last few decoction brews commercially made on the planet, sure.

HB German Pils.

This has been lagering for over 2 months.

 

[malter]

All-malt Vienna Lager. No fining agents except time and temperature. Yum!

Both beers look fantastic. Kolsch is one of my very favorites. I'm drinking one now.

I see you've got a glass from two roads. I have a buddy that lives in Stratford that stops here frequently and he always makes it a point to bring me a truck load. Usually about six cases or so of various stuff. I may have a few in the fridge in the garage right now.

 

[malter]

My attempt at a Lorraine Blonde (Martinique) clone. Color is a bit light, but I did nail the spiciness I think. All malt and no fining agents as above. Tasty!

Thank you for the kind words! Two Roads is still super popular and one of my favorite CT breweries. With the current boom its hard to keep up and since the HB is good I don't buy much commercial anymore.

Good looking beer! But I gotta say, those ingredients don't sound like "Kölsch" to me. Sounds like a nice (American) blonde ale.

Let me guess...it's a Kolsch style yeast and you conditioned it cold like a lager? The most important part of a Kolsch, which is a very strict style, is that it's top-fermented.

My niece and her husband went to Canada and brought back some cans of Kölsch they picked up there. I tried it and said well I have to find a recipe for that. Got online, the very first recipe I found was just what I said and I thought okay I've got the stuff here, that's this week's Brew. I made it and it was spot on to what I tried made commercially. I figure if it works, don't fix it. There's a fair bit of debate as to what constitutes kolsch. Just go to the thread in the recipe section and look at how many different ways people make it. Or make what they call it. I don't think I can understate it enough to say there's a lot of different grain bills.

It is an ale yeast and I did condition it cold, yes. I also brewed it at the very low end of the temperature range.

(Edit)
Here's what I make it with.

Mexican Dark Lager HB. Getting the hang of making lagers. Just in time for Cinco de Mayo.
