A style that doesn't give much love anymore- Scottish 60. poured through a intertap stout tip. big flavor for a 3% beer

Nice. I used to make a version around 4% with Wyeast Scottish 1728. Looks good.

Would you care to share the recipe? Big flavor for a 3% beer has peaked my interest Kinda along the lines of our "mild" discussions

Yes please, post the beer in the recipe section when you can. The one I made had brown sugar added to the boil and then late in the boil there was an addition of maltodextrin to produce a bit of body since the beer was a lower ABV. Hops were relatively low and the 1728 yeast has a really nice UK-type character that you could easily reuse in a bitter, EPA, mild or other british-style ale.

Ill post it up once i get back home this morning. Super simple recipe, but the secret weapon is a dash of flaked oats in the grist.

Thank you!!

A gold lager. 50/25/25 Barke Pils/Vienna/Munich 1 with Magnum to bitter and a bit of late Hallertau. S-189 on the yeast. This beer is drinking beautifully.

[Poptop]

That’s a beautiful beer as always

Beet Red American Ale with only Simcoe and Cascade shining through. Sometimes it’s good to be in the RED

[neddles]

Wow. Thats one red beer. And no beet coming through, awesome.

[Poptop]

No beets coming through. It’s young and is still clearing but I was excited to try it!

While the beer looks nice I am too busy staring at that wonderful blue sky.

I'm trying to think of ways to one-up you but I don't think it's possible. A blue beer, maybe a fluorescent green beer... I got nothing. When I asked myself what I could add to my beer to get a wild color like that, I said BEET'S ME! Maybe I'll blend up some fresh basil and make a green PESTO beer!

Laugh it up funny boy. If you recall I had sights set on a mild mannered APA, had everything weighed and measured and then lost the mojo to carry it out. Enter the beet thingy While I'm relieved there's no beet flavor and it's a great taster, I'm inclined to think it too gimmicky for a lame dude like me, so prolly a one-and-done batch.

Ken, maybe you can design a madras colored beer? AND.... I've toyed with the idea of making a very light, hot summer day, beach beer with a slight hint of tomato/basil. Gone so far as to think about dehydrating some plum tomatoes and perhaps caramelizing them a little. Or procuring tomato powder.... Who wouldn't want 5 gallons of tomato/basil infused beer amaright?
