theprotester Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Agreed entirely. For now I'm not going to lock this next brew in as being the Apocalyptale. Aiming to make a French Imperial Golden Ale. We'll see what happens. Probably still hit around the 7.5%ABV mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newer Bigger Better Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Im thinking imperial stout. Blacker then the blackest black times infinity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theprotester Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I've still got a sack of Caraffa Special Type#2 - so I can make it like a black hole if desired. Would need to balance with some sweet as the dark malts are super astringent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newer Bigger Better Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I made some broth with some pork ribs and other things i had a few weeks back. Too much ribs make things astringent... So in closing: don't use ribs for your beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newer Bigger Better Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 hahaha... I doubt protsy can bull out on a full belgium like that. I do love me some LFDM though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theprotester Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 French Imperial is not far removed from a Belgian Trippel. All my beers are on lees anyway as is the limitation of my brewhouse. I'm going to use a specialty Belgian triple liquid yeast - never actually used liquid yeast before so it will be a cool project. Hopefully brew next Sunday. Will report back!

Shittles..TasteTheAsshole Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Tonight I'm trying this Australian beer Foster's. I think it's like the Budweiser of Australian beers. Not too bad a bit of a malty taste, pretty smooth. :dazed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theprotester Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Noone in Australia drinks Fosters, you can't even buy it at a normal bottle shop here. It's fucking shithouse mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shittles..TasteTheAsshole Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 good false advertising on the bottle says: "Australia's famous beer" lol I still don't mind it, being free but I would not buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theprotester Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Too true, so many people are stumped when they come here and we're all drinking VB and Carlton Draught, not a Fosters in sight. Goes down like water, as intended. Never say no to free beer, unless it's Corona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eviltrailer77 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Thoughts on XXXX and Hahn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theprotester Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Really? OK. I'll bite in the hope that you're not joking with me. Chuck Hahn will forever be a great name in the brewing history of Australia. They make beer that 97.5% of Australians want to drink. FourEx is very similar, and I admire the fact that they are technically perfect beers. To be able to recreate the exact same beer, to the exact same specifications, over a decade or more, is an exercise in precision that I find difficult to even fathom. Still on Chuck Hahn though, the man brought REAL beer back to the masses in the form of James Squire (Name of the first documented brewer in Australian colonial history). Their range would seem fairly tame to an avid craft beer hunter, but it is REAL beer, no matter how mass produced. Actual ale instead of lager. For that, he has to be a little bit of a hero I'd reckon. As aforementioned, what really amazes me is their production scale - the product itself I wouldn't be caught dead knocking one back. For example, XXXX has around a 200hec system, so they are making 200,000 litres of beer every time they turn the bastard on. The process is amazing, they are actually at the point over there that the water they are treating as affluent is coming back CLEANER than the scheme water people are drinking - it's only public perception that stops them from using this water in the brew process. In short - amazing on a technical production level - tastes like shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theprotester Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Unless you've got some conditioner handy, you're pretty much going to have to. I'd ask why exactly you're shitting in the shower, but not keen for the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newer Bigger Better Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Aye, it was under the sink, which is within reaching distance of the toilet. And i was done before i got to the conditioner, but i hear their tales are but the same, and only differ in the details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
