I normally chuck my spent grain in the compost, but fortunately most of the vegies had finished, so straight into the patches with 70kg+ this time around.

 

[kelbygreen]

hmm another good reason for a compost bin cheers 70kg one way to use the stocks

Big day. Shagged after that and engagement party post brew dy
Trialling new equipment isnt recommended in thesedays bht we pretty much canned it in all things consiered

Edit. Bigups to kell for feeding and watering us today. Grousse food.

Thanks to the hosts. Top grub as always Kell. Big day, great output overall. Those spices in that Saison were beyond awesome.

It was a fun day... and good doing it on my home turf.

Looking forward to pitching yeast at those cubes soon.

Kudos to Brendo and Kel for the awesome hospitality, a great day had by all! Just about to tip the sulfur IPA in wake for the marzen and BIPA. I so need to fill my empty kegs ASAP.

[brettprevans]

fellas, have got the OGs of the beers? I cant find piece of paper witht the OGs i took when i got home

fermented the US mild, then dumped the black IPA onto the yeastcake. its now trying to get me in trouble with the missus as its fkn climbed out of the fermentor and tried to invade the entire brewroom! it went nuclear. absolute mess. smells great though.

 

[brettprevans]

Tapped US mild. Omg unami characteristics. Tasty, hoppy but restrained, malt, weird combo. No style guidelines here. Tasty tasty tasty.

Colour doesn't match mild style guidelines, but its not like we.were brewing to style!

 

[Fourstar]

The marzen and bipa were 1.054 and the Saison was 1.074.

Smashed the keg of marzen and the bipa was very bitter but has mellowed well. Tasting goooooooood so far.

The Saison I've began fermenting with DuPont and wyeast lambic blend. Very strong anise so I'm slightly worried about the way it will blend with the sour. Only time will tell I suppose.

 

[brettprevans]

Tapped it for a test... Lovely!!! I got some great yeast characteristic from octoberfest yeast. It's clean, malty great bitterness. U could slam down pints of this all night. A few more weeks lagering though.

Great beer as Braden said
