Like you I get pissed off with it because it’s with an inefficient Aust Post (and before the virus) so I look at the $15 being free as being ask 5 x a malt pack as compensation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillies Brewing Posted February 6, 2022 Report Share Posted February 6, 2022 Caved to my terrible impulse control and had a bottle of the GDOSA at 2 weeks this arvo for a small PHS. Already outstanding! Can definitely see how some time to settle down will help the flavours meld together a bit more cohesively, but already the mouthfeel is luxe, streets ahead of what I expected! Decent head, which stuck around a little but not that long. Might chill a Headmaster next time I try it. Big hit of that amarillo flavour in there, which is great but I do slightly hope it will round out a little, just because it feels a wee bit "unrefined". Maybe currently a little bitter-er than I'd usually go, but not enough to be an issue! Some malt and toffee hanging around too which I like in a beer, but is currently not in perfect harmony with the amarillo aroma. Time heals all wounds I guess... Definitely in the vein of Cricketers Arms with the amarillo punch leading, and a bit like the Single Fin too. I maybe would have expected something a bit fruitier too, maybe pairing some galaxy hops in would do that. Overall I'm just blown away, having seriously managed my expectations knowing all these beers are better with a few weeks on the scoreboard. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillies Brewing Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) When you had a disappointing beer with dinner at the pub so you go home to fix that: Beautiful creamy head, but I'll tell you what that Amarillo sure is a ballsy hop. I didn't get as much aroma today but maybe that was because it was cold and not in the fancy glass. Or just my mood today Edited February 9, 2022 by Gillies Brewing 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillies Brewing Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Certainly hasn't gotten any worse at 5.5 weeks... I'm hoping there's one left at 8, but I'm not sure there will. Lighthouse is taking some of the heat off it now thankfully, but I am not as fond of it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillies Brewing Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Luigi Bormioli Birrateque Saison, holds 750mL. I think Spiegelau do a more expensive version too, but these seem great. They have a little laser etched nucleation point at the bottom but tbh it's so small it doesn't do much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul84 Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 Yeah i keep rolling back to the CPA but might have to go out of my comfort zone. I have just finished a stone and wood pacific ale and then a Weissbier to go in the droid tomorrow then i am out of brewprints. Feel like i may have to do an order soon 🤣🤣🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem for me is that I think I've got about 5 or 6 daily drivers ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) Dry hopped the second one of these for summer. It was a darn good brew with 25gms of Amarillo, so I expect it will be awesome now i have added 15 gms of Citra to the mix Edited March 18, 2022 by Rob Courtney 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted March 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 On 30/1/22 at 8:16 AM, Captain 3 Droids said: In the Droid today with a yeast change and hop additions. Instead of Y1 yeast I change to Y5 (as used in the German Weissbier). Why you ask, well it is partly wheat based ie 2 x X2 (Weissbier is 3 x X2) and in reading the Y5 profile I thought “why not”. Will dry hop day 5, 20g each of Citra and Hersbrucker Kegged just over 7 weeks ago. This has been a great success. The hops come right through with the palate and after taste. I think the yeast change has added to this, not sure how yet. (Another 10 pints may give the answer? Ha) This is what I love about home brewing experimentation, the great thing is the BrewArt system/ingredients make it so much easier. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 Bottled this today...just hadn't got around to it, so 9 days dry hopped. I poured a little bit into a cup for a sniff and taste...it smelt so nice and fruity...I hate to say it but maybe, just maybe, the Cap is onto something here by adding to the hops profile 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
