June Long (brew) Weekend 2007

[bconnery]

Go the Smicks ESB BC

Pumpy

Had a quick look. Doesn't look bad at all. Probably with stick the grain bill close to what I have on hand.

Only one problem. I don't see any First Gold hops in that recipe.
I'm not sure I'm quite ready for an english beer with no First Gold again yet but I suppose I might, just might, be able to manage it

How close are those maiden AG beers to tasting Ben?? :chug:

cheers Ross

I've tasted them both Ross.

The IPA is one reason I am thinking about brewing another IPA.

I am obviously biased but it's bloody beautiful!!!

The Pride/Nelson Sauvin ale is also turning out nice but I think needs another little bit to come into its own.

The IPA is in serious danger of not making it to the next meet

I am hiding some bottle away in a cupboard. Under some stuff. With a sign on the door saying beware of the dog to warn myself off.

 

[InCider]

With 3 fermenters mid term, I'll be only brewing chilli sauce - but will have a go at adding hops. If i can make anything half decent, I'll add it in the recipes section!

Sounds like a grain pick-up is in order... :chug:

[redbeard]

Ive been brewing a stout and ipa & fermenting the isb's belgian blonde & strong in the last few weeks. so this weekend will be drinking the 1st 2 with a dozen mates at a fri / sat night bbq in Canberra. the blonde is almost half gone, very nice session beer & hopefully the strong will be finished for kegging / bottling next week. If i have enough time on mon pm, will brew up another stout or maybe ipa or maybe lcpa ... mmm too many choices !

 

[Slurpdog]

Finally got myself a decent thermometer so I'll be giving my first mini mash a go.
60 min mash, 60 min boil, top up with a kit.
Just a simple amber ale, and I'm keen to get away from brewing all kits, for a change.

Cheers and beers.

 

[SpillsMostOfIt]

I have a Jamaican Metheglin, a Belgian Pale and an American Pale all in primary right now. I have a Belgian Dubbel in cube waiting for fridge/fermenter space to come free. Next cab off the rank will be another (different) APA in half-size batch which will probably be brewed on Sunday. After that will be a Pilsener and another APA (differently hopped). There's some yeast work to be done, but it is basically a pretty quiet weekend... *sigh*

 

[kabooby]

I qualified for the first round of the championship matchplay, so playing golf on Saturday morning. Then off to the city to the international beer festival. I dont think I will get to 40 different stands so are there any "must try" beers out there?

Pumpy,

You need to be a part of at least one of the swaps in the NSW Case swaps at some point. That way, not only can you enjoy great ESB's like Schmick's, but a variety of others whilst contributing your own

Cheers.

PS: ReVox how did it turn out?

Duff,

Pumpy and the other guys got the opportunity to try the other Xmas case beers. I share my spoils of xmas cases with the members of MALE when I get them...Pumpy gets to brew and BOTTLE the next one!!!

 

[KoNG]

I'm hopefully going to brew a BoPils on sunday... its all booked in with SWMBO, so the hard parts over :lol:

 

[DJR]

All-Saaz bo pils going down at some point, probably Friday night. Got my hops today, real fresh saaz, just waiting on some Staropramen yeast.

 

[blackbock]

Vienna lager -
70% Weyermann Vienna; 18% JW Exp Pils; 5% Melanoidin; 4% Caramunich I and some Acidulated.
All Hersbrucker to 30 IBU.

:super:

 

[warrenlw63]

Initial outing of my half-batch system is today - a kinda Australian Pale Ale to a predictable recipe and 11.5litres.

Sunday is my first ever lager - 80% JWM Pils, 20% JWM Light Munich, Saaz to early 30IBU in 11.5litres. S-189 yeast via Craftbrewer @ 11-12degC.

Monday could be my second ever lager - as above, but with some Pacific Hallertau...

Brew small, brew often!

[T.D.]

All-Saaz bo pils going down at some point, probably Friday night. Got my hops today, real fresh saaz, just waiting on some Staropramen yeast.

What is it with all these Bohemian Pilsners being brewed!!?? :blink: :lol:

I am also thinking of brewing a pilsner on Monday. Should get my order of Czech Saaz from Gerard today some time hopefully. But I'm wondering if I should try and even the keel a bit and brew a hopburst APA instead.

 

[therook]

I'm doing my 4th AG this weekend

Wazza's Three Shades of Stout

Thanks Wazza :beerbang:

Hopefully it will be sitting in the fermenter next to AndrewQLD Coopers Pale Ale clone which is bubbling away nicely

[warrenlw63]

Great weather for stout actually. Brrrrrr. :blink:
