OK change of pace for me, I'm still getting my settings right in Beersmith for the Grainfather, The house beer which i do for Jacq is an Anchor Steam clone with Marris as the base. Managed to somehow end up with an original gravity of 1.06 which was a bit higher than the plan, finally getting good efficiency! Options were; a water addition or chuck in a couple of packs of yeast and make it the swappa. No surprise the option i took So my offering will be .... assuming it doesn't turn out filthy, a California Uncommon!

[barls]

dry hopped mine last night

 

[shacked]

Put mine in bottles this arvo. Sorry about the PET bottles...

At the last minute I changed up the recipe so mine is more of a dunkelweizen with rye rather than weizenbock.

I don't think I'll be able to make it up for the 17 but I'll see if my beers can hitch a ride up with someone from the IBUs.

Brewed mine today. First non-funky brew for quite a while. Went easy and brewed an imperial IPA with 200g of hops in the boil! The GF pump and I are no longer friends...

[n87]

Just threw 100g hops into the fermenter... if anyone complains it's not hoppy enough for an EIPA can go jump

 

[paulyman]

Well thanks to the second shitty siphon in a few moths I have lost another batch. I'm gutted, this IPA was probably the best beer I've ever made and it all ended up down the drain.

Trying to put down a simple amber tonight, hopefully ferments out in time.

 

[barls]

thats not good mate.

 

[paulyman]

Shit happens I suppose. Thankfully had cubes and ample yeast waiting in the queue.

That sucks balls man. I think that's worse than tipping infected batches (my last 2) because at least the infected stuff is undrinkable.

Is it a design issue with the siphon?

I'd like to say yes, but probably just user error combined with 200g+ of dry hops.

 

[paulyman]

So after the double IPA disaster of 2017, I chucked a cube of Amber Ale waiting patiently in the pipeline into the brew bucket along with 5L of water to get my target volume and OG. I then threw in the yeast and Tilt hydrometer and sealed it all up. Here is the Tilt data:

As you can see the Tilt registered an OG around 1.012, which remained relatively stable until fermentation kicked in, at which point the SG steadily rose to its current 1.032. I have always envied those with a glass carboy who get to see active fermentation, but thanks to the Tilt and a big density gradient caused by me adding 5L of water and floating the Tilt in it I get to "see" it today! The OG should have been 1.050 so I reckon it should equilibrate in the next few hours and then start dropping. Technology is great, but I can't help imagining the poor newbie trying to explain to us that the SG on their brew had risen during fermentation!

 

[n87]

That's not cool paulyman, no-one likes loosing a batch, specially with that much hops.
I just dumped a cube of Belgian dark strong on a cap that wasn't on quite tight enough... not a happy moment.

Either way, mine is bottled, will be, if not ready, close to ready on swap date. It all depends on the temp of my bottle cabinet.
I will have to sacrifice a bottle or two to test .

The keg of the same batch is testing awesome. Hope you all like it.

 

[n87]

So it looks like i am double booked for this, so I wont be able to come and drink too much

Barls, I will have to organise some time to drop my stuff off.

 

[barls]

no problem mate.
just bottled mine and stuffed it up by missing a bottle when filling.
so someone will get a 1L bottle instead.

Mine is in bottles now. A red IPA based on the recipe from the gladfields site. Wet hopped with some home grown cascade and dry hopped with a few different US hops.

Probably won't make it up for the day but my beers have a lift. Might send up some bottles of white stout if anyone is interested!
