That gives us around 1.096. Not to bad considering. :lol:

I'll measure the PG once i have some yeast to pitch on it.

Ive got 1/2 a longneck of THICK 1968 slurry. Going to dump the top stuff (fermented strongarm) and fill it with barleywine. Shake Shake Shake, add one cup to the partigyle and the rest to the barleywine and watch em fire! Yeeee Hawww! :beerbang:

not quite. Barleywine was 2 packets of US05 (hence the twin hit). I was thinking initially of Pacman for the BW, but whould have had the time to build up to the cell count for it, os it went to the PG.

 

[brendo]

I am growing up some 1469 for the PG at the moment - it is going to get used for a few different beers shortly.

I've just finished growing up some Pacman, which is going to get pitched into an APA shortly which will be used as the starter for the Barleywine - so it will be sitting in the cube for a couple of weeks yet.

[Fourstar]

It will be interesting to see the differences in these beers as per the yeast selections and pitching rates. Real interesting indeed!

Top effort boys! :lol: Great photo's.



Why are brewers sooooo attracted to nikko pens? Why? :lol: :lol:

im going to chuck some of the pacman into the BW to get her going and continue to cutler up some more then add another pitching of it in a few days.

 

[Fourstar]

Ok just dumped the 1968 onto both of em:

Barleywine: 24 brix / 1.099 SG
Partigyle: 11 brix / 1.043 SG

These conversions where done via Beersmith for accuracy.

Now to watch these babies fire! :lol:

Great pic`s. That myth about HSA is just that! No such thing <_<
Looking forward to a sample a year or 2 down the track!

if The HSA comment was a joke I don't get it. Are u referring to no chilling?

 

[manticle]

I think he might be talking about all the pouring you had to do with stuck sparges.

The pouring was done with a pretty thick mash too. porridge consistency
