Captain 3 Droids Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 Keg the Pilsner on 19/11 so will have to wait awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted November 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 A bit different to the usual Czech Pils, has a bit more bitterness but with a touch of fruit flavour. Sadly, a few sips in, I got stuck into some home made sausage rolls and the tom sauce splayed the tastebuds but I'll have a couple of those, for the getting older day on Friday.

Example, a wood fired margarita pizza with Birra Italiano, a top match. There is a main thread on food and beer pairing.

Robert Pretty Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Kegging and bottling this tomorrow. 40 degrees in the Hunter Valley this weekend. That will make a dent in my stock. Then the custom Pale Ale goes in. Bentspoke Lake Burley Griffin clone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Pretty Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Hi Mark Best mate lives at Goolwa. At least you don't get the humidity, down there. Recipe Jolly Roger with 50g Mosaic and 25g Ekuanot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted November 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2020 Second time drinking this, it is the depth of flavour now in the beer that has me really happy. Reckon this is a dead set 12 months of experimenting to get the hop mix right ( and the only way to tell is to do exhaustive research) but you can actually tell the three different hops flavours in the mouth. Think the added variety of hops brings this closer to the Czech beers I like ( not that there is anything wrong with just Saaz) so reasonably stoked with this and gven it is about 5 weeks, interested to see it develop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d try it myself but don’t have any Spalt so might try with the other two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still very bitter a real go for a hot summers day. Reckon I necked a pint of this in 5 minutes...and its not even warm at the moment. Could see a time when I would try 20 saaz, ten each of Perle, Tetts and Spalt and see how that goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted December 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 So, nice hot day, did a fair amount of yard work and now just necked a glass of the Czech. By time I got the camera ready...beer was drunk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted December 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 8 weeks in, if I could buy a beer this good at the pub, I'd be settling in for the long haul, changing up the hops profile has made this sensational Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Pretty Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 Just poured this after 3 weeks. I can see what Mark and Rob are raving on about. This is a dam good beer. I'm and Ale man, don't usually brew Lagers. May have to start. Anyone for a Lawnmower? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before BrewArt and Rob’s influence I was also an ale man but boy these lagers. The Lawn Mower, the Bohemian, the Belgian, the Deutsch, the............are all great.

Rob Courtney Posted December 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 The Czech with the hop profile I put in...I am a little disappointed that I have to finish the Bohos so I can get to the Czechs (obviously, it is the type of disappointment I can live with). Damn, just damn, I used to really like the Czech beer bt with the different hops profile, it is so frickin' good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Courtney Posted December 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 Have this one in the droid at the moment and will go 50gms of hops, 20 Saaz and 10 each of perle, spalt and tettanger. If it improves on the brew that I am drinking now...well...because 9 weeks in this is pretty damn good 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 Put the Czech Pilsner in the droid today. Haven’t done for a while so will be looking forward to it. Now we know it’s a top drop and here’s some info/trivia to possible surprise you. Buying the Brewart ingredients = $24 (aud) = 26 x 375ml bottles = $22 for a slab of 24 bottles. Czech Pilsner (Coldstream @ bottle shop) = $70 for 24 x 330ml = $80 for equivalent 24 x 375ml! Wow a $58 saving per carton of 24 (375ml) bottles. Can someone from the US do a costing for interest sake? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
