As my contribution was reviewed early, thought i would kick off this thread for those that want to share recipes & notes :

#28 English Bitter based on a recipe from ahb recipeDB. Modified to available ingredients :)

for 40l dbl batch

6.5kg JW Ale
0.4 JW wheat
0.1 roast (no crystal etc left)

35g Styrian Goldings @60
30 EKG @60
35 Styrian @15
40 Styrian @0 - split directly into 2 20l no-chill cubes, not kettle (!)

yeast - nottingham dry for 20l, 2nd cube on yeast cake

After 1st 20l kegged & on tap, found it very malty/biscuity, so dry hopped 1st keg & 2nd ferment with 20g PoR.
This would explain the grassy taste some found, thou personally I didnt. sa la vi

Also, for extra points :), all bottles were ice water cooled, then filled with a modified pluto gun (to minimise froth) from the 2nd
keg then capped. The last 3 bottles got the last 2l from the 1st keg :) Lucky i restrained myself !


cheers
 
I just looked at the recipe and i was wrong about the specs i posted in the listing.

Its stronger :eek: :beerbang:

15 min 52deg protein rest and them a single mash at 65 deg.

firmented at 19 deg.

1.072 to 1.010. 8.2% plus priming sugar so dont go planing any driving trips if you sample 2 glasses of it at once...... like i like to :)

ITs got haze from all the late hop flowers but you get that...... there is a flase bottom about 3 inches down!

Hope you all like it. It was a complete experimental beer and a big risk for a case swap but i think it came out OK.

cheers

Well, mine was also reviewed early so I'll get in early on the thread as well. :)

Pretty straight forward recipe, some wheat and a touch of pale crystal, mix of English hops, WLP005 (like that yeast) and some palm sugar. Attenuated much more than I was expecting, but I think that's partly the sugar and partly the fairly low mash temp. Hopefully, a light, fruity number that should slip down easily in the hot and steamy weather we're having here right now. :chug:

Notice I was prompted to post a recipe for the Bitter so given my current highly documented and regimented brewing logs below is the best you are going to get!!!!!

Twas a standard 23 odd litre batch.

I steeped around 100 odd grams each of Roast Barley, Dark Crystal, Standard Crystal, Chocolate and around 300 gms of Carapils in around 15 odd litres of 70 odd deg. water for half and hour.

Water was topped up to a pre-boil of 33 odd litres. 3.5 kg of light LME dissolved in with around 200gm of maltodex. Did about a 75 min. boil from there on.

15gm each of Spaalt and 30 of EKG @ 60, then around 20 of EKG and 10 of Spaalt @ 5.

No Chilled, fermed on Nottingham at around 19 deg. for around 10 days, 10 days of secondary with around 15gm EKG, polyclarred then bottled.

Thanks Goathearder for the recipe. I remember enjoying your beer but I cant remember much about the taste of it. We drank all the beers in one session so that goes for just about all of them :p

Will definately give your recipe a go soon

Did you use fair dinkum Aromatic and Special B Oblomov? Where did you get 'em?

I've been saving this beer for a special occasion. Tomorrow's the night, I'm going to a mate's place and he's a Belgian beer nut. I can't wait to hook in.
 
Goatherder, you can get aromatic, special B and biscuit
malts from Daves homebrew in North Sydney.

MALTS

Cheers, Duane.
 
Yes, that's where I got 'm. Dave managed to get a bag or two of each, he did mention that future supply was uncertain so I bought 3 kilos of it :)

Goatherder, I sure hope I can live up to your expectations. I cracked open a bottle on the weekend, I do think it improved considerably over time. It had a pervasive nutty taste, which has moved to the background. Also, it's less malty than it was a couple of months ago, which is good. If you haven't downed Kabooby's dubbel yet, your friend is sure going to like that.

GH really enjoyed your beer a few days ago, keen to have a crack at it as I like to have a darky on hand and my porter is nearly finished. Just wondering your thoughts of the Bairds compared to what you were trying to acheive with the Weyerman?? A Fleky copy or perhaps something a bit different
 
I was shooting for a Fleky copy. I liked the case beer but it wasn't exactly what I was after. I feel it was perhaps a little too malty - I wanted something a bit more sessionable. I had another go before xmas - I replaced the MO with pils, the munich with vienna and dropped the carawheat. It was a great beer - dry, still a bit malty with a really tasty restrained roast flavour at the end. I shared it with a few friends who don't drink dark beer. They loved it.
 
I'm a bit slow posting this, but here is my recipe.

I think the slight over sweetness may have come from the quantity of crystal LME (correct me if I am wrong). When I do this again I will be upping the carbonation as well as maybe looking at a boil with some bittering hops to try an knock a little of the sweetness off.

23. Something like a foreign extra stout

Recipe: Monkey's nightcap stout
Brewer: Adrian Riepsamen
Style: My best guess is a foreign extra stout???
TYPE: Kit
Taste: Was a bit sweet for me and undercarbed and I'll be buggered if I know why it didn't hold a head.

Recipe Specifications
--------------------------
Batch Size: 36.5 L
Boil Size: 4 L (I think)
Boil Time: 20 Minutes

Ingredients:
------------
3.4 kg Morgans dockside stout kit
2.0 kg Morgans medium dark crystal LME
0.5 kg Coopers Wheat Malt LME (50% barley 50% wheat)
1.5 kg Dextrose
0.20 kg Roasted Barley
24.00 gm Goldings @ 10 min
2 pkts generic Morgans lager yeast
30mL licquorice extract


Notes:
------
All LME (not kits) and roast barley boiled for 20 min in approx 4L water. Hops added in last 10min. Strained into fermenter an hops teabags added to fermenter (after boil).
licquorice extract added to fermenter.
OG 1070
FG 1020 after 7 days at 22 deg.c
Bulk primed 4.7g/L
ABV 7.3% allowing for 0.5% in priming.

Any comments or suggestions for improvement will be hugely appreciated.

-Adrian.
 
It's a long time since I've done kits, but just a few suggestions. First, don't boil the roast barley. Steep for say 30 minutes in warm water, then strain into the pot and boil the liquid along with the LME, hops. I'd certainly say that's too much crystal LME, though I'm not sure what the composition of it is, but half that would certainly be plenty. I'd say that the dextrose is not needed. Sugars like this are fully fermentable, so you can bump up the gravity without increasing the body too much. But for a stout, I'd say a bigger body is a good thing. That said, you could use some sugars, but 1.5kg seems like a lot, although it might have been a good idea with all that crystal.

I'd say the sweetness, the low head and the low carbonation are related to yeast issues. For a big stout like this, I'd say that the kit yeasts are probably not up to it. The yeast had probably given up the ghost by the time you primed it. It'd be worth getting some better yeasts for this if you do it again (and in general IMO). S-04 might be a good one for this, or Nottingham is supposedly good for dark beers. US-05 would work well too. HTH.
