Easter Brewing

[Pollux]

Just finished my third for the weekend, probably going to take a day off tomorrow, wife will be at work, little one in daycare and I have an urge to finish a few games on the Xbox.

Another good brew day.

A boil is starting


The final products
2 x Landlords (a double), my first time made with Maris Otter, hit 76% into the cube
1 x Budvar, made with real Saaz to compare to the Chinese Saaz, hit 74% into the cube.
so fairly consistent; and today I did not sparge with hot water.


So add in the double JSGA and single Aussie Ale made 2 days ago it should keep me going until Thunus comes to visit :chug:

I still remember back before the Bundy Brewers

Before AndrewQld there was kits
Before Gregs and Thunus there was Single BIAB
And thanks to Henno and Budwiser for the motivation to keep trying things.

Now a double and single BIAB :beer:

This weekend i have 5 days off :super: and Sunday is looking like a good day to brew:-

Robust Porter, XXXX Clone, and My Aussie Ale (completly and utterly revised - Dunno what im using yet )

ALL DOUBLE BATCHES!!! Plan to put 1 in a cube and the rest in the fermenter for all 3! The missus helped me fund the ambitious project, but i have to help her with the housework 2nite :angry: ! (annoyed GRUNT!) Yes dear i'm coming!............

Gotta go!

EDIT: Hope everyone has a HOPPY ESTER (not a very nice thing to say i know, but everyone i'm friends with on facebook wont understand the joke......)

Just Finished the 3rd brew (Robust Porter - A bit of work in that one manticle!, sure it will turn out bloody nice though!) ive only done a handful of single biab's in the past, this weekend has blown me away! hit all volume and gravity targets, and filled all 3 fermenters and 3 of my cubes. More than impressed with my efforts!
Gotta give thanks to half of the users on the forum for giving me the info i needed (espicially Manticle, for your heads-up on the porter recipie) to brew the brews i brew all-so frequently..... Just gotta pitch my yeast in the morn, then relax for the rest of it!

Kev, Id have to agree that the Bundy brewers are great people and great motivation, go the Bundy brewers. Looks like we have a few beers to sample. :chug:

Umm, 92+92+92=276, but who's counting.

Unless you mean you brewed 138L and consumed 276L, in which case I bow to you.

Sorry for the typo, there actually 46 litre batches. 3 x 46 = 138 litres, my apologies.

Gregs has that issue, over-exaggerating sizes

Yeah thanks Kev but when it come to size Im just average, thats why I dont brew in the nude like some people.

First AG over easter weekend went ok, appart from haveing slightly worse efficiency than ususal, 67% <_< I had been getting in the 80's with my partials. Also missed my temp by 1 degree, note to self, go buy a propper thermometer. But it's in the fridge now and in a few weeks I'll have a nice (hopefully) mid strength APA.
