Knocked up my Raspberry Blonde last night, but sadly no boil overs to take pics of :icon_cheers:

Coopers Canadian Blonde
1kg LME
200g white sugar
80g Melanoidin
80g Caramunich I
8g Styrian Goldings @ 60min
8g Saaz @ 10min
WLP 550 Belgian Ale
Went easy on the hops as I want to rely on the berry flavour, but the Sty. Golding & Saaz combo is a real winner in my belgians.

The missus went to Harry Potter and me and my little Buddy ( Sam ) made beer in the shed listening to the Footy

Well i ended up with 23 litres of 1.070 FES.....I think, pretty pissed by the end of the day after listening to the Mighty CATS toy with the Dawks ( Hawks )

Black AND THICK.....Should be a great beer

I missed you call yesterday Katie, i was at the Cricket club drinking $1 pots

I hate a great day with my friends, cooked up a bbq with Lamb burgers and some tatsy snags. Lots of kids over playing, ladies chatting and the boys brewing and drinking, how else would you rather spend a day.
I had a phone beer with PP, but was more like a shot!! lol, had a better beer with Katie though. Great to chat with you Katie, and well done again, and to Mr Chappo.
We are going to make this bigger and better for next year, so look out AHB!!!
Big up everyone who brewed for the cause!!

 

[Bribie G]

Haven't got time to wade through sixteen pages to as a refresher to the participants:

• Is our pledged money to be paid to a central point such as Katie who will forward to the charity as a single contribution on behalf of the forum or:
  Do we pay individually on an 'honour' system

Erm what's the charity again, as I've forgotten ?

Cheers

Michael :icon_cheers:

 

[PistolPatch]

Gotta race to work but just a quick question....

WHO WEIGHED THE GRAIN HERE YESTRDAY????

We had a full sack of pilsner malt, we needed 9.6kgs, and there's only 3.6 kgs left!!!!!!!!!!

(More later.)

LOL
Pat (Whole grain masher)

P.S. I love you too Katie. You and Chappo should be proud.

hmmmm I might be being a little dense here - but where do we put the donations? I know it is on everydayhero... but searching for any of the likely suspects doesn't turn anything up (australias biggest brew day).

Anyone know what the event is called or got a link?

Sounds like everyone had a good day yesterday, should've made an effort to try and update the progress at our place but was running around all day.

Had some mates turn up at 9am with one very eager to get the beers going so the first pints were going down at 9.30 before the brewing had started. Already looking to be a long day. In the end made 4x20L batches, not quite the 6 I was hoping for, but it was the first foray into AG, first use of the esky, first split boil and first no-chill. Also a first for making jerky - 1.5kg of topside roast didn't last very long at all. A day of firsts for Browntown Brewery. Not the first time we've started drinking at 9am though.

Problems encountered -
-people more interested in drinking than brewing, but can't blame them for that
-not factoring in the time to bring the water temps up or wort to boil so under estimated time for each brew
-reading the wrong recipe and chucking in 30g Southern Cross hops into a Leffe clone. Decided to reduce the boil time on this so it doesn't turn out too bitter
-siphon hose getting blocked by hop crud

All in all good fun and I think there's about $200 there for donations.

Upped my donation to $25 online just now.

Well Done Katie for organising and for the supporting of good causes.

My Tally was 60L of beer in total.

Cheers!

 

[Katherine]

Bribie you can forward it to me, but have a look at the links and let me know.

Everyday hero was the best option.... There is a donation of $20 on both were someone has not put there name down ????

Pants you have heaps of donations that is fantastic.

Well done everyone...

Im home sick with the flu... seemed to drink it away yesterday but its back.
