Hi, and welcome to the Wacol store contribution. We are not brewing anything this week, with both our fridges full of fresh worts, a pseudo-Vienna lager and our Erin Irish Stout (waiting to be filtered). We will however be brewing a Belgian Trappist Ale next week, using a Whitelabs Trappist Ale liquid yeast. We are doing that at the Whitelabs demo we will be holding here.
I am not generally a Belgian Beer fan, particularly the wheat beers. However, in the interests of research, I have tried a few recently, including a Leffe Blond (growing on me), an Orval and the Hoegaarden, which I am actually starting to enjoy, after several tries.
The next beer I plan to make, based on a simple recipe from our Enoggera Store Manager, Mel, is a Bock, a dark German lager. Historically, March was the month to make beers for Oktoberfest, to leave them to mature for 6 months. By the time Oktoberfest rolled around the beers would be perfect. Whether or not we can manage to hold off drinking the Bock until September remains to be seen, but I am looking forward to trialling this beer for the first time.
Happy brewing. Wacol
