KD: #22 GxSA (Galaxy Summer Ale)
http://kristiandomagala.blogspot.com/2009/12/22-gxsa-galaxy-summer-ale.html
An online account of my brewing passion. Friday, December 4, 2009. 22 GxSA (Galaxy Summer Ale). Brewed: 12th November, 2009. The fourth batch in the Summer Ale series, this time using Galaxy hops instead of Nelson Sauvin. And still coming in slightly under the mash temperature despite the fact that it was way over temperature before I started mixing in properly! Oh well, something learned for next time. In terms of numbers, I didn't lose as much temperature over the hour compared to last time (1 degree i...

An online account of my brewing passion. Friday, March 5, 2010. 25 GxSA (Galaxy Summer Ale). Brewed: 3rd December, 2009. Another catch up post. This next beer in my series of Summer Ales was the second one that used Galaxy Hops. The change between this one and the last one. Was that instead of using Torrified Wheat, I used Carapils.

An online account of my brewing passion. Friday, December 11, 2009. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale tasting. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Was one of the original beers in the American microbrewery revolution of the late 70's. It's one that is often talked about on home brewing forums and beer appreciation sites, and is said to encapsulate the American Pale Ale style. Despite the warnings about it not traveling well, when I saw it on the beer menu at Brisbane's Era Bistro. I knew I had to give it a go. Luckily I was st...

An online account of my brewing passion. Friday, March 5, 2010. 24 GBSA (Green Bullet Summer Ale). Brewed: 25th November, 2009. Time for a catch up post. I had used Green Bullet hops. I actually brewed this on the same day as the #23 German "Eis Pale Ale". Mashing in at the same time that the German ale was in the kettle, and it's the only time so far that I've done two brews in a day. Mind you, the German ale was already in sweet-wort. Australian Pale Malt: 4500g. Mash time: 60 minutes. Start: 64C End: ...

KD: #31 CSA (Coopers Sparkling Ale clone)
http://kristiandomagala.blogspot.com/2010/02/31-csa-coopers-sparkling-ale-clone.html
An online account of my brewing passion. Monday, February 1, 2010. 31 CSA (Coopers Sparkling Ale clone). Brewed: 31st January, 2010. I decided to brew this batch for a couple of reasons; first, it fits in to one of the styles open for competition at the February BABBs. Cultivar, and although it's far from my favourite from a flavour perspective, it's pretty distinctive, and in my experience, reasonably easy to replicate from a home brewing perspective. About how to do this on AussieHomeBrewer.com. Boil t...

All of their draught beer taps had a different product on. The highlights for me were the Sunshine Coast Brewery Porter. I ordered this b...

An online account of my brewing passion. Sunday, February 28, 2010. 33 ChSA (Chinook Summer Ale). Brewed: 13th February, 2010. This was the 9th batch in the Summer Ale series I have been brewing and a contender for the BABBs. I hit most of my targets on the day, with the exception of stopping the boil a few minutes late, hence the odd timings for the hop additions. Maris Otter Pale Malt: 4500g. Chinook pellets (11.5% AA): 15g @ -83 mins 19 IBU. Chinook pellets (11.5% AA): 15g @ -23 mins 14 IBU. 32 EBB (E...
