Congratulations, would gladly buy up a few bottles here in Sydney if it's available. Best of luck :icon_cheers:
I bet that Krausen was a whopper. Interesting mash schedule. Feel free to share some pics of the scaled up operation.

 

[Mardoo]

Mash profile was mash in at 45oC hold for 30min,ramp to 55oC hold for 15min,ramp to 62oC hold for 30min,ramp to 71oc hold for 15min,ramp to mash out at 78oC hold for 10min then move to lauter tun.

Congratulations proudscum and company. Good work!!!

I'm curious what you're using for raising the temperature when you're working at the 55Hl scale. I'm familiar with a number of the pro-brewer options for that, but from your fermentor description it sounds like you may or may not have been working in a dedicated brewery. Care to share?

 

[shaunous]

Did you do any form of formal education before jumping into pro brewing proudscum, or just hard out homebrewing and then made the leap.

 

[mr_tyreman]

are you the head brewer? do you still homebrew?

 

[Mardoo]

Really enjoying your posts as you launch into your first commercial. Cheers mate. Definitely interesting!

Milk stout anyone? ;-)

 

[adraine]

Warners at the bay may be the closest as they are the only stockist of our band in NSW.

Shame for you lot. That's only 10mins from my house. I'll let you know my thoughts.....
BTW I wish I had of read your thread earlier I loved the hop bazooka at the WATB beer fest. Could have picked your brain a bit more.
Good luck with it

 

[Filfy]

Thanks for news story :icon_cheers:

 

[mr_tyreman]

oh that looks amazing!

Small fermenters though, only 20HL

i think you said your batch was 51HL, how did you get that? did you split it between 3 fermenters?
