Schwarzbier, bottled 3 weeks ago. Great alternative to brewing Stouts and Porter

Our second Blonde Ale - using Vienna Malt instead of Munich Malt. Vienna was out of stock with the 1st attempt and I have to say, this one is VERY nice!

Thats a solid malt bill, I like combining Vienna and Munich with Pale and Pilsner for Lagers but never used it in a Blonde. Thanks for sharing I might take some insparation from your malt bill or use it as is for the next batch of my House Blonde.

As a side note I read on Brulosophy that they didnt get the expected results from Carapils or Carafoam but did see good results in head formation/retention from Carahell. With the added flavour from Carahell it might be worth it to sub Carapils with Carahell.

A Cream Ale that I bottled7 days ago. Its only half way to being carbonated but Im stoked so far. It will still change a bit but Im exited about this one, easy drinking flavourfull summer beer 4.5 % abv.

Brewed it with Southern Passion and Southern Aroma.

Saison.jpg

First impressions of the Saison after 2 weeks in bottle. Still to mature a bit but certainly a success. Dry and peppery. Would have liked it a bit more sessionable from an abv perspective but it doesn't spoil the beer. Surprised by the clarity compared to my other Belgians considering I've not used any finings and it's only been in the bottle for two weeks. Happy with the Crescat strain used.

Belgian Golden Strong at it's best now after a couple of months in the bottle. 8.5% abv, dry and very drinkable. Just pilsner malt, a bit of aromatic, white sugar and used Southern Aroma hops. WLP500 certainly is the star of the show though. Love this yeast compared to the dry belgian strains I've brewed with.

How does this compare to Duvel? Looks great. How long has it been in the bottle?

Has been in the bottle for about 3-4 months now. The style doesn't require a lot of aging in my opinion. Still need to pair them up side by side. From memory, it is however quite similar. I would say though that Duvel (when fresh) is a magnificent beer and I find it to come across a bit more fresh or lively than mine. I wonder if it might have to do with their lagering time after primary and before bottling as this was a step that I skipped. Taking a beer from good to great is not easy. To my knowledge they also do two separate fermentations with two different strains. Not a lot of information available on which exact strains used or the split in quantity between the two, so who knows... Definitely a beer to keep stock of in the cupboard.

I'll bring a Duvel over and we can thoroughly evaluate both.

Sounds like a plan. Will let you know when I'm having my next brew day this month.

The Cream Ale that I bottled 3 weeks ago. The clarity improved nicely after 2 weeks in the fridge. The beer changed quite a bit since I first tasted it, less malty sweetness with the hops coming to the party a bit more.
