Brew #2 is going to be a Belgian wheat beer. Ingredients for this are torrefied wheat, pilsner malt, fuggles hops, orange peel, corriander and cumin seeds.

Going to do this saturday hopefully. Need to buy some more empty bottles.though!!

[chefgage]

ingredients never arrived so instead i tried a bottle of the belgian amber ale. To say its only been bottled for a week it tastes amazing. Going to leave it a few more weeks then try it again

[chefgage]

The belgian amber ale is finally ready for a taste

[chefgage]

haha looking at my picture thats the way up i will be after drinking a few of them.

I flipped it but can't make it bigger. You'll have to settle for a small glass, but at least it won't drain out before you drink it.

Nah VC, geezers don't "do" small glasses ..........

[veggiechicken]

Do they do washing up, BB 'cos I can't see how you could wash that glass?

[chefgage]

No need to wash the glass, just keep it full

@ lebowski cheers, I don't want a recipe as I don't even have a still was just interested in what he used.
@ chefgage nice one, I am up to 13 AG brews now but have never done a belgian so far. Le tus know how it is when its done.

Drunk a fair few of the amber ale, tastes amazing. given a few bottles to friends who also liked it very much. one said its better than the stuff you buy at the supermarkets so must have done something right
Did the belgian wheat beer yesterday and thats bubbling away as i type
