I somehow won with a paltry 1000ish score this week.... byes and injuries decimating my side atm...!

My side just aint going well! Time to ditch more under performing GWS kids I reckon...

Brewed AG batch #86 this arvo, American Amber Ale 90 Pale 10 Heritage Crystal 1055OG, 1016FG Used up a heap of left over hops, roughly 36ibu. 2g/L at 10min and 5min (cascade, amerillo, cluster), plus magnum at 60mins. Will dry hop this at 2g/L also.

4yrs AG here (with 10ish yrs partials before that). Batch #86 American Amber into the NC cube this arvo.

Was -2 deg the other night, one of the coldest spots in the Adelaide Hills here! Ironically I am enjoying an EISBock atm.

I would auto calibrate with water or brew a typical batch - it will calibrate pretty quickly if its anything like my el cheapo PID. My auto tune was all done within 10mins iirc, then it ran as per normal during the mash. Beer turned out fine!

If only this Raven could afford it..., knock off the '3' and the labelling is done for me! :lol: :P In all seriousness though, 'tis a darn shame to see these micro's closing down.

I lost again! And the Blues played poorly... bloody Crows...

Yes it can be done, also you can recirc towards the end of the boil (with chilling water not turned on), to sanitise the plate chiller. Issues can be layering of hot and cold wort in the kettle (a stir with sanitised spoon, or angled wort return pipe can sort this). Make sure you have a hop...

There is a time and a place for this stuff folks, and I don't think its on a brewing forum, especially considering the direction this is going. As such thread closed.

Nudist Colony A man joins a very exclusive nudist colony.... On his first day there, he takes off his clothes and starts to wander around. A gorgeous petite blonde walks by, and the man immediately gets an erection. The woman notices his erection, comes over to him and says, 'Did you call...

Quality post there TB. I find with my low density element (ceramic sheathed 1inch diameter, approx 300mm long, 2400W), I still get this crud built up on it after a brew. Mind you my recirc is nowhere near 5 mins, I have the element on within 2 mins of stirring the mash and having the pump...

Yeah I left captaincy with Pendlebury, giving Jebus a few weeks to come good... Selwood and Sandi thankful in's this week too!

Rauchbier in NC Cube about an hour ago. 60% Best Rauch Malt 20% Munich2 20% Pils 1% Choc (for colour) 26ibu - a single 60min hallertau addtion 1056og 1014fg 833 gen2 yeast.

Defo drop your planned efficiency with such a big OG. I tend to aim for 50-55 for these massive beers. Partigyle to get an EIPA/EPA could be a goer too? I tend to max out the MT then adjust the hopping IBU's in the EBW (first runnings plus sometimes part of the 2nd runnings) to suit. Totally...

I tend to add a 'smidge'. I would estimate this to be a few grams worth. I use DME in my starters or wort prior to hopping (Plenty of nutrient in there as it is).

You may be pleasantly suprised in the yeast's ability to get this down to your desired FG without the incremental sugar additions. I had good success with about 700ml of thick 1469 fresh slurry and aerated wort, getting an 1100+ OG down to the 1020's recently in my big EBW (which is now in...

Mod Edit - I combined the 2 threads on the same topic.

Absolutely! :P

You sure its not actually in your bed... infactuation? :ph34r: I now use a beerbelly SS mash paddle (I previously used a large wooden with holes in it too though).
