I noticed you just brewed a mild. I have also just completed one, using Wyeast West Yorkshire yeast. I brew predominantly APA's and hopier beers, but this is my first mild and malt based beer. I would be keen to do a swap if you are interested to compare?
I have just started fermenting mine. It ended at 1.065! so I am not sure if it is actually a mild, more a strong brown? At the moment I have a stuck fermentation, so I hope the yeast is ok (it's a Tim Taylor). Hey just a bottle or 2 would be fine, I was just interested in this style, because it is not made that much these days.
Yes my temp was too high also, thats probably why? I could get below 25 and I was impatient to wait all night. If I don't get any action in the next 24 hours, I'll have to reboil it and pitch another yeast. At my current calculations, it should end up at around 6.5%
I did hear back from Steve. $70 each plus shipping which I think is $20.
I've asked him for a quote on 3 kegs but haven't heard back from him on that yet. I haven't decided to purchase yet. I'm still gathering all the info at the mo. How many kegs are you after?
Hi mate, I haven't done anything about the kegs yet. If I do, I'll probably just get kegs from GE, it'll be a lot easier than trying to get a response from Hallertau. Good to support the LHBS too I guess.
It all depends on my managers in Chch, and wether or not I can score a stopover in your part of town. Should be soonish! Are you keen to brew an Irish red for the WBC in 3 months? I'll take care of your goods for you...
Thanks Mate. Mine turned out really well too. But unfortunately it developed an infection. I'll try one tonight (first one) and if it is ok I'll send you one also.

I meant to say I did bottle it, but have been afraid to try it, for fear of disappointment. It was tasting really well from the hydrometer tube, during testings.
Nolen. I tried the Brown ale last night. It has some 'off tones' and the head retention is pathetic, but it is still drinkable., I won't say too much, but let you judge it for yourself. Send me your address and I'll send you a bottle?
Hi mate, just got your package. Overnight courier! Wow, I appreciate your diligence and expedience. I'll give it a try and let you know what I think. I am on night shift the next couple of nights.
Just tasting your mild, now. Very quaffable mate. Nice malty palate, a light head but it laces quite well. Very subtle nose (or is my sense of smell buggered), I get a little diacetal, but nothing offensive. All in all, a nice little mild. I like.
No worries man Glad you enjoyed it also with the other beers could you please give me your honest feedback!! Good or Bad!! Also you should of washed it down with a Imp Stout and Barleywine!
