Right folks I final got my brew on in Oz! :D

Not my first AG but first time using the BIAB method and I love it, real straight forward and doesn't require much change in practice, less things to do really.

Didn't quite get the O.G. I wanted (about 0.004 off) but happy that I know the process and where it can be improved. First time using pellet hops and also a fridge too so I'm interested about how this will refine my beer even further.

Overall super chuffed I got this done, can't wait to try this clone and soon be on to my next one. :beerbang:

Nice. Will give that a go next. Been meaning to look for a Punk IPA recipe. I also BIAB, only done 5 brews.

Do you dry hop in the fermenter or in the keg?
Let us know how it turns out.
 
I'll be dry hopping in the fermenter after 7-10 days (once F.G. reached) and also crash cooling at the same time (3-5 days). I'll take advice on this one though as I've not crash cooled before. Won't be using a Secondary.

Perfect way to do it mate, 3-5 days of dry hop/CC just works so perfectly once you hit a rhythm of having a new beer to ferment as soon as the last one is kegged, especially if you are pumping out beer for a thirsty household and delays could mean no beer.
 
I made this recipe not long ago. Turned out a treat. Good luck with it.
I dry hopped for 5 days with 1g/l of all the hops except Athanum.
 
Way to go!! There's a thread about somewhere here with a number of punk recipes if you have a bit of a search, Grats, looks tasty ;)

Are you asking how much he made or how much you need to use? If you put the details into any brewing software (brewmate, beersmith etc), all the answers will be revealed.
 
Hey mate,

Ive just started doing biab's. Think I made a balls of my first one (learned a lot though) but 2nd was definitely better.
One thing I did notice from above is the mash time. I mash for 90mins based on recommendations I found on here somewhere.
I also mash out at 76deg (stirring constantly until it gets up to that temp which I then hold for another 10 mins).
First brew I did was 6 points off the expected OG. This one I don't think I stirred enough during mashout.
Second brew I was pretty spot on and got a mash efficiency of 85%.

Not saying any of this is gospel but just what I do.
 
Hey Dave cheers for the input.

I'm used to using a 2 vessel setup (boiler & mash tun) so can completely see where your coming from. I too mash @ 90mins but the recipe said 60 so I stuck with it. :)

Will tweak for next time.

Oh ok I'll have a look on them cheers
 
Right, I'm worried I've got an infected batch (never had one before).

It's been two weeks fermenting and the gravity is stuck at 1028 (should be 1014).

It's in my brew fridge set at 20C.

I added another US-05 hydrated yeast to the batch and 4 days later it never dropped a bit.

Zero krausen on top and just a thin ring of scum on top. Doesn't look horrid. Smells possibly a bit farty.

Is it deed? :-(
 
Doesn't look great from what you describe mate... Farty usually comes along with lagers not Ale yeast, you've tried rousing the yeast? Temps?
 
Tested again today after rousing the yeast a few days ago... definitely dead. Gah! Nevermind it had to happen at some point. I'll check my sanitising process next time, hopefully get this bad boy done soon enough!
