Barls, I think you need to rename this the "Next ISB brew day" thread

 

[redbeard]

im away this weekend & the 13th, so others should be ok ... who wants to host ?

 

[barls]

I want to get together & make more wort soon to gear up for summer - I have a lot of empty cubes including 1 of Craig's.

However we need to remember that the state comp judging is happening down in Bulli on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th October 2007, so it's probably better earlier.

How about the 20th? Can do my place if no-one else volunteers (I'll have to clean out the shed B) first).

What does everyone want to make? Summer quaffer? lager? or something more to style

No probs, Cortez.

I should be able to make the 20th. Not sure about what style. Something light for the summer though. Something with lots of Amarillo?

 

[mikem108]

Mid strength something 3.5-3.8% with lots of flavour?

gee mike.. do you sit down to pee aswell?
^_^ ^_^ ^_^

We going a partigyle?

Then we could do a IPA, mid strength.

 

[mikem108]

I've got a few "big" beers which I'm not allowed to drink at the moment so I need something closer to "water"
....let the liver recover

 

[crozdog]

Stu - Have you been speaking with DC82? :lol:

Mike - what does your rogers clone look like? maybe we could attempt that as a mid strength? If we made up a regular (1045-1050) gravity wort we each have the option of fermenting it straight or dilute to get a mid strength. If we used 15l cubes & diluted with 7l we'd get mid 1030's.

We could always do a simple pale/summer ale which everyone can experiment with dryhopping & different yeast.

I'm thinking maybe single style (not partigyle) just to simplify things a bit. Do we limit it to say 160l ease the logistics?


Guys, give us your thoughts.

Edit : dilution vol & gravity

 

[mikem108]

I was thinkning
Ale Malt 80%
Munich 19%
Choclate 1%
Bittering EK Goldings
Flavour Cascade?

 

[Stuster]

Those all sound like good ideas. How about something along the lines of mike's recipe. Maybe Centennial instead of Cascade? I'd say replace the chocolate with some lighter crystal. Not too much of it, maybe the same amount of Caramunich??

160L of 1050 wort would be good. Ten cubes. First in best dressed.

I'm in.

Edit: Beersmith reckons 25kg Trad ale, 6kg Munich and 400g of Caramunich would give a 1050 wort for 160L that wouldn't be too dark, round the 11EBC mark, a nice golden colour.
