Oh wow Fate n Fortune work In weird ways lol!
I pass the Tin on and can't eat gluten then my name gets drawn isn't it Ironic thanks Alanis Morissette
.
Like I said to Josh in the PM it'll have to be one of my tried and tested other wise it's Aldi Cider lol!
Plus being true to the spirit of the BF Quarterly Brew one of my tried n tested is only fit.
The Bunyip pale ale.
I've gotten myself into some real messy situations drinking this beverage it creeps up on you, anyhow in the dark of night after one to many sitting around the camp fire in the bushlands of Australia them Bunyips are lurking around the billabongs waiting for some unwary traveller to stumble into their waters and never come out alive.
This similar story my dad used to tell me and my bro as we sat around the camp fire while he was drinking with his mate made me scared to go and do a wee!
Anyhow enough hoo haa

This is the current recipe
The whole gist is a beefed up pale that has a bit more malty body too it and a bit more hops.
That velora pale is maltier than the Standard pale ale malt the Munich doubles down on that malty back bone and the wheat provides some more body and nice thick head retention.
You can choose to keep the crystal malt or sub it out for more base grain.
Any new world hop is made for this beer I've used different verietys over the years Mosaic is always a favourite I've used citra and talus in this one. But Equinox or Galaxy or Simcoe are all favourites for this beer.
It's just a good grist to try some hops with.
Cheers I'm honoured to throw my hat in the ring and be chosen as brewer of the Quarter.
I must admit this Gluten free thing has taken a big hit on me when it comes to Homebrewing as you all know on this forum I'm evolved here most days in the beer n bulshit conversations and being told oh you can't drink beer anymore let alone brew it has hit me hard where it hurts in the gahooners lol.
So to have you brew one of my favourites will be an honour for me and I can relive this beer through you all.
Cheers
Happy New Year to you all
Onwards and upwards !
