[wakkatoo]

Nah - Wakkatoo will see this thread eventually and give us an IBU range and possibly hopping schedule.

Ha, ha, yep, sorry bout that


Here is The REAL recipe: (ignore the previous one!)

Taken from page 169 of "Brewing Classic Styles" - McQuakers Oatmeal Stout

OG 1055
FG 1016

4.26kg British Pale ale malt
450g Flaked oats (1 Lovibond)
340g Choc Malt (350 Lovibond)
340g Victory (28 Lovibond)
227g Crystal (80 lOVIBOND)
227g Black roasted barley (500 lovibond)

Kent Goldings (5% AA) (60 min) - this is the hopping schedule, Simple huh!?
51 grams (36.1 IBU's)

wyeast 1968 London ESB

Ferment @ 20^oC

60 min boil.




Seeing as the consensus is to have some tasting but generally to swap, add you name to the list below so we get an idea of numbers.

1. 2 bottles for tasting on the day
2.Wakkatoo
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.

Hey vic, it has a pre boil volume of 26.5L (7gal).

this will end up the first beer I enter into my new version of beersmith. Now that I have established a valid reason should my beer not work out, its off to play with recipes h34r:

I got very lucky on the above brew, and Greg, a local German brewer from Dereel came over with some oats.

Bloody hell Pete,

All that in the one arvo, that really is getting off your arse!

 

[Lecterfan]

Just an FYI - I won't be brewing the above recipe for at least another week or two, so as per my original email it might be better to leave the swap and sample of this beer until September (allowing 2-3 weeks for the fermenting/conditioning and another 4 weeks bottle conditioning), so if we want something in August maybe we can organise something else?

I'm happy to meet in July as that is between semesters for me, but Wakkatoo and I are off to the case swap in Melbs so I'm sure we'll get our fix from that weekend!

The setup looks great Pete! Must feel good finding the time to get it cranking again.

Cheers all.

 

[herbo]

A date in September sounds good. That way footy will be over as the team I'm involved with are not going too good so finals is not a worry.

[wakkatoo]

I'll go with september too, although unlike Herbo I'm hopeful mine can still make it!!
Being school holidays, there is a chance I'll be away for some part with the kids but I can work around that!

Will brew this beer after I get back on the 29th of June.

 

[herbo]

Guys,

I will soon have a Wyeast 1968 liquid yeast. When using these I split them in 3 and use a third for the brew I'm doing immediately (stepping it up to a one litre starter), the other 2 thirds I pour into sterilised jars for later use.

If anyone's interested in using the same technique we could go thirds, saves on the cost of yeast <_<

Just let me know. Otherwise I'll store them away for my own future use!

 

[pdilley]

It definitely is!

Waiting on starter to put my name on a list as my temp controllers will all be engaged incubating chicken eggs and running a hatchling warming box. I have 11 days or less until the first egg is due to hatch so fermentation has that window if the starter steps up in time. Otherwise it is wait until all eggs hatch or my two new controllers arrive in the mail and get fully assembled.

Cheers,
Brewer Pete

I could be interested herbo as I need 1968. All my starter gear is with the German bloke down the road who is making the Scotish Ale starters as luck would have it the only chance I could get to a lhbs they didnt reorder yeasts I wanted and only had the dry sachets from fermentis :/

Cheers,
Brewer Pete
