Having a couple of glasses of an ella/marris otter smash pale ale from this post: http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/93648-what-are-you-brewing-in-2017/?p=1427512 It's a bit meh to be honest. Maybe Ella is better in combo with other hops, I don't know:)

Hi Pratty, yeah I well could have my ibus way off. The wort went into the cube 20 minutes after flame out at 90c. What do you think this will give me?

brew day yesterday, pitched this evening. Was aiming for an my first IPA but looks like it'll be more of a pale BIAB, no chill, crown urn Volume: 20L OG: 1052 IBU ~ 70 ABV: 5.5% 6kg Gladfield American ale 150g caramunich 20g Galena @60 minutes 120g Cascade cube 60g Galaxy cube 80g Cascade dry...

Thanks all for your feedback. I finally got around to brewing this yesterday, and just pitched it into the fv this evening. It was a learning experience to say the least :lol: Recipe: IPA BIAB, no chill, crown urn 6kg Gladfield American ale 150g caramunich 20g Galena @60 minutes 120g...

Having a couple of glasses of my first full volume all grain batch. A smash pale ale with Gladfield American ale and Vic Secret fermented with us05. Pretty decent and certainly happy with the result.

Hi gloveski, I purchase my grains from their brick and mortar store. I'm certainly happy with the quality and the fella who runs it seems to know his stuff. I've seen him packaging these kits when I've been in there and all looks fine to me. Cheers, Tom

Today was my second full volume all grain batch :D, another smash after the first being a gladfield american ale/vic secret smash 19L BIAB no chill OG: 1048 IBU ~ 45 4kg Maris Otter 20g Ella @20 minutes 20g Ella @0 minutes 20g Ella @cube 40g Ella dry hop US-05 Loving the brew in a bag...

Haha, was wondering about this. I guess it's a matter of personal taste, only one way to find out. I'll move all late hops to the cube

Thanks guys. I'm keen to keep the 60 minute addition to save some cascade. So maybe I go something like this: 20g Galena @60 27 IBU 45g Cascade @10 18 IBU 15g Galaxy @0 8 IBU 75g Cascade @cube 12 IBU 50g Galaxy @cube 16 IBU 100g Cascade dry hop 50g Galaxy dry hop

hi brewers, I'm looking for some advice on my first all grain IPA. These are the ingredients I have on hand: 6kg gladfield american ale 1kg weyermann pale ale 1/2 kg each of caramunich 2, light crystal, medium crystal 500g galaxy 500g cascade 100g galena 50g horizon Ideally I'd like...

Why not

I'd certainly be keen Chris, like your vids. Cheers, Tom

Why not

Yeah I think that's a good idea and I'll give it a go next batch

Thanks for the replies everyone. So it seems the general consensus is a wild yeast infection is the most likely cause, does this thread need to be moved over to the general brewing techniques section? I was way off! So where to now. I guess I need to decide if I tip this batch or not, I might...

hi mstrelan, I didn't boil the top up water but I've had to top up all my extract brews and have used un-boilef tap water for that each time with no problems, hence why I haven't boiled top up water with these partial brews

manticle, yep it's the third. Smoky phenolic medicinal, sorry just didn't know how to describe it in the op as I've never tasted something like this before. Also, the reason I first considered the yeast to be the cause of the problem was because of the lag time. 2 days lag isn't consistent with...

Thanks for your help brad. I won't give up on it as it's never failed me in the last year until now. But I might give bry97 or m44 a go on the next one just to see if the same problem persists. Cheers

Yeah ok, well that's good to know. I've done two successful batches in between the two bad ones, and have another batch currently fermenting next to this current bad batch which tastes fine from hydro samples. The ok batches started fermenting fast (within 6-12 hours) while these bad batches...

Yeah you might be right. the first batch has been in the bottles for over a month now and hasn't improved, it's actually horrendous! So I don't think it will improve but I won't tip em just yet then.
