Australian IPA

[Danscraftbeer]

I've never tried a Russian Imperial Stout. Now I'm intrigued. I'll have to do one now..

 

[LAGERFRENZY]

We are way OT now but I would just advise that when you do one it will need to be aged, preferably in an ex spirit barrel and be mature to drink maybe next Christmas. Think of Stout but more like a port or a serious Liqueur, thick and slightly cloying, a bit of heat from being 11 - 13 percent ABV or more. Its a fair old bunger in a barrel of a drink.

Hey.
Whoa.
Back it up there a second,

"... strainS from Australian brewerieS ..."

So you're saying they have multiple strains from various Aussie breweries over the decades?

Who's going to fund such a thing as an Australian brewers yeast laboratory?...

As stated, CUB used to fund such a thing and were very proud of it. I remember it being in the bunker at Bouverie St.

I wouldn't be surprised to find that Toohey's had one as well and maybe some of the others.

It used not to be uncommon that big breweries did major research but it all got rationalised away when greed was good.

I'm pretty sure there's still a major yeast collection in Australia; the wine yeast collection at the AWRI. I once asked them if they had a Voile strain from the Jura (a pretty rare wine yeast) and they didn't. I don't think they have any brewing strains.

Sunburnt Country IPA

You got it in Beersmith? Care to share it to the cloud?

I'm toying with late hop additions. So final recipe will be uploaded later today.

I have beersmith mobile.

How do I add dry hop additions so they are not flame out additions?

Worked it all out. Uploaded to cloud.

 

[Mattrox]

Red enough to be called "Sunburnt"?

 

[mtb]

Aww yeah.

Have you marked it as Shared? By default it's Private

 

[mtb]

Scratch that, sorted

 

[Mattrox]

I adjusted the recipe as brewed on Beersmith. Hop boil and dry hop additions should be correct now.

 

[Mattrox]

Haven't got Beersmith dialed in quite correctly. I'll have to check my settings.

Ended up with 24L 1.058 OG

Will be about 6.5% bottled. Not too bad.

 

[Mattrox]

The aroma is pretty good. Have not dry hopped yet. I'll do that tomorrow.

SG has hit 1.018 so a few more points to drop. Hydro sample tasted good. Should be a cracking beer.

Can I suggest wyeast 2565

What a great suggestion

I love 2565 :icon_drool2:

Plus these days there are more Aussie hops to choose from but that yeast is great nearly on its own

 

[Mattrox]

3 days in bottle. Went "fffffft" but very little carbonation and still a bit of hazy yeast suspension.

The hydro sample on bottling day was fully dark brown due to the yeast. Starting to look reddish in hue. Expecting good things colour-wise.

Hop combination is a winner. Delicious.

 

[Mattrox]

The picture makes it look more red than it really is.

Is has a red hue I must have made a mistake with mash/sparge volumes and concentated/diluted the red from the mash.

Looking at the recipe on BS now - did you enter the Measured Final Gravity or has it defaulted to 1.010? Estimated was 1.003 (very dry for an IPA)

It hit 1.014 with the Coopers yeast. I haven't dialed in the Coopers Commercial yeast in Beersmith properly. I slightly under pitched I think.

It is deffo red enough to call a red IPA but not the same hue as the mash. I'll put a few bottles in the back of the fridge for a week to drop all the yeast out and see if it makes a difference.

Nothing wrong with the flavour though.
