Kit O' Beer #16 - Australiarillo Pale Ale

[Glass]

racked this one today. 16 days in primary/ 2 weeks 2 days.

31gms/1oz Amarillo.

The aroma Amarillo I have is not intense. Not familiar but felt I wanted more strength when I smelt it. Its good. Ideas forming with one more hop experience in the bag.

Took an SG yesterday and it was 1.010. Looked a bit cloudy like a pale ale would. Today when I pulled the covers off, it's a rich amber. Mahogany. The colour does not look pale ale. I took another sample today before racking and its crystal clear and golden in smaller amounts. I think I pulled a lot of yeast yesterday. It had a taste that wasn't present when I racked it today.

Seems it's all good.

The more I've thought about it, I love the term/word "Australiarillo"! It feels like a marketable commodity, so who knows, maybe if you perfect this batch you'll have a hit?!

This sorta comes to mind, just change the label on the bottle!

That's "Amarillo", not "armadillo", silly!

Texas translation!

I think Amarillo is copyright so maybe there'd be fees? On the other side, a popular beer with brand name hops is good for the hops sales business BUT maybe not in the name itself. Can't say I've been paying attention to names and if they contain the hop names.

I'm keen to try all grains because I've got a few recipe ideas in my head. Style of beer and how I would focus the flavours and for most of those I've got names already based on what they would represent. My heads been swimming with ideas for months now. I will am going to do one of them with a kit base. I think the base is pretty solid for what I have in mind. I need a bit more feedback.

IMO, Australiarillo is a completely new word/term. Damn slick if ya ask me, kudos.

ok got around to bottling this one today. Case of Idonwanna for the past week. Once we got down to it, things went smooth enough.

approx 64 bottles. 4 PET + 56 x11oz
162gms dextrose bulk primed.

due to circumstances this was one slow brewed beer. Just over 4 weeks. 2 in secondary dry hopped. The aroma on this one is soft. The flavour is stronger. I get pineapple from this one. That's mostly it. I taste this and I think there should be some rum in there somewhere.

I can see why this is popular with cascade and some of the other hop combos'. I would definately throw this one in again.

In the fermenter this one has a red tinge to it. In the hose it's clear and light, almost colourless. In the bottle golden with a haze to it. Looks like the other ales I've brewed. Its a dry beer but not pound of salt dry. I think corona is the driest beer I know. It is dry like that. In every other way it's nothing like corona.

Austraipalido, because swimming with your ale shouldn't make you sink.
