Winter Brewing in Australia

Brew 21- STELLA continues the turtle brew... slow and steady @ 14.+C
The SafLager yeasties 'like it like that'! It has the heart beat of an Olympic Marathon runner! We have a lagering space specially reserved for further maturation.

Kegged Brew 20- Olympic Moment

An Olympic event! A Gold medal performance...
Kegging the English Bitter Ale.

The previous SG confirmed our tasting that all was good BUT there was still some residule sugars/sweetness! An addition of an aquarium heater enabled us to ferment out/reactivate yeasties to completed the job.

3 days passed... SG and more tasting confirm Gold, Gold, Gold!
No need for filtering as this is a malt beer without excess hops in suspension. Plus we tilted the fermenter to enable dead yeast (RIP) to settle away from the tap.

Kegged easily, gased, regased and refrigerated. CAN'T WAIT!
Initial comments include: BALANCE, CLASSIC, FLAG SHIP (Malt)!

... and a little bit more!

How green is your beer?
Humpback Brewing are NEVER satisfied with the standard of OUR beer! At Humpback St. Paddy's day is *every day* and WE are always looking to make our beer GREENer! So we have built 2 new greenhouses to ...

What a GR8 day to drink beer!

BrewSkot Taste Sharing

Thanks Ian for the chance to drink... we mean appraise your beer!

WOW, what a great beer in such a short time.
The beer was full of fizz/effervescence bubbles and working well in the glass! This resulted in a 3 finger head.
The white, with a hue of tan head held up well over time. Sitting onto of a great earthy coloured beer.
The nose/aroma was of slight malt. The taste was really refreshing, the gaseness produced an early burp or two!
We lost a bit of the taste at the back of the tongue, the taste not lingering long.
Our tastes have moved to hoppiness and if anything we would have liked more malt balanced with more hops?
We're look'n forward to sharing more tastings.

Thanks Ian https://www.facebook.com/BrewSkotBrewery
