What's on the bubble?

Axl · **Posted:** Sat Aug 21, 2010 10:43 am

I put down a "Medieval Amber Ale" and a Ginger Beer yesterday. The Amber recipe was from a friend and is supposed to be about 9% !!!!! It has got French Oak chips and Cammomille tea as well as hops and honey. it should be an interesting brew, if it is any good I will be putting it into next year's H/B Comp

Ginger beer will be more like 4.5 - 5% and is J and I's standard drink these days. Based on a kit but with extra goodies in it

(Buderim Ginger refresher cordial Yum Yum Yum)

So, has anyone else got anything down ath the mo?
Cheers
Axl :cheers:

Though while we are on the subject, drank some James Squire Amber Ales yesterday, very nice beer to have while out in the boat, in the sunshine.. One of the sweeter beers I've had..

No, sorry. I dont know the IBU's
Do you work that out with beersmith?

I used to take gravity readings once upon a time, but now I just gauge the alcohol content by how quickly I get pissed! Ha Ha

Right, I've kegged and Bottled the Yak. It was quite interesting getting it out of the fermentor with that many hops t block the outlet. It is a seriously hopped brew.

Next, I dont usually use sugar and I dont usually brew lagers, but I had these ingredients in the cupboard for a while and figured I'd better use them.

Golden Harvest

1 x Can of Cascade Golden Harvest
1kg of Coopers BE2
500g of Coopers LDM
The zest of 1 Lime @ 10 mins
15g of Amarillo Hops @ 5 mins
