2016 NSW Mid Year Case Swap

[Mikeyr]

Let me see, you have another baby due and you're considering spending a Saturday arvo with a possie of someone else's small rug rats! Unless of course the Niece is 21...... I'll prep a sleeping bag!

 

[marksy]

I`ll be working again unfortunately, but if I can drop them off the week prior that would be awesome, I`m only up in Berowra.

Hi Marksy,

India Pale Lager I love IPAs, can you share your planned recipe, mainly interested in the yeast pitch quantity and temps for ferment?

 

[marksy]

23L Batch:

est 4.8% and 50IBUs

97% Pilsner Malt
3% Crystal

SouthernCross 30IBU @ 60
Cascade 10IBU @ 20
Centennial 10IBU @ 20

Mix of Amarillo, Centennial and Cascade @ whirlpool

Dry Hop a mix of the above 2g/L at crash cooling

Pilsner Lager Yeast 398 Billion Cells (est beersmith) 2L starter added to wort.

12ish C for 2 ish weeks, 4 days CC.

I kegged 19L and bottled 4 longys. Keg is gone, and still have 3 Longys.

Going to lower the bitterness hops in the next version, and increase the 20mins or whirlpool. And increase the crystal to 5%.

I cube as well, so I did everything 20mins less that above.


Was different and very tasty

Hello all

Just wondering if I can still put my name up for this?

Never had a chance to do any of the swaps before but it would be great to get some experienced brewers feedback as I am keen to refine my process and beers.

 

[Mikeyr]

Peter,

By all means, i was the "virgin" last year and hosting the swap this year. Great experience and the feedback was bloody helpful and very fair. (and far exceeded my humble expectations!!)

I found it a great confidence boost to get some non "mates" (prior to the meet up i mean) input and really helped me get fully into it. Has of course cost me money as i upgraded everything and built a keezer.

Just copy and paste the last list and stick you name in a blank slot

Cheers

Mike

Yikes. 21 of us now. I'd better stop sampling my stout while it finishes fermenting if I'm going to fill up 21 bottles.

 

[marksy]

Here is a question:

Assuming most of you guys keg, do you fill your case swap bottles up from the keg? or go the natural way?

Just curious.

I do mostly keg but I'll be bottling this one straight from the bottling vessel. Won't be kegging any of this beer.

 

[Dan Pratt]

Usually keg, and will be getting the long task of bottling done.

Maybe we should do an annual keg swap, we all being a corny...numbers in the hat.....draw out a number and you get that keg.

At least 17 bottles, and allocated to list numbers.

Do you bottle straight from the tap or use a beer gun of sorts? Ive been using 20cm of hose on my tap when I do, but only to fill my growlers to take out.

 

[Dan Pratt]

For the case swap I bottle with the little bottler, takes ages. This year I think I will use a bottling bucket to see if i can get the carbonation right.

 

[Weizguy]

Please include yeast variety, for collectors/ yeast farmers...
