Nsw Xmas In July Case 2008

[Stuster]

Great to see the recipe, croz. Be interesting to see the differences between the ale and lager versions if you do go that route.

Doc, saw your different choices in the wiki and thought I'd put in a vote for the Schwartzbier. :chug:

Planning on doing the Case Swap brew this weekend.
Ordered some ingredients today that should arrive tomorrow. That way I can brew the Schwarzbier.
Otherwise I'll be brewing something else for me

19g East Kent Goldings 4.8% AA 10 min

Mashed at 50C for 30 min, the step to 64 C for 90 min, sparged at 68C. Boil for 120 min. Yeast was S-04. FG ended up at 1.011 and it tasted pretty good.

 

[Stuster]

Some nice looking recipes there. I've just done a test batch today for the case swap. It's a Belgian pale ale and I should have time to taste test this one before making the real one for the swap. Probably end up doing something slightly higher gravity next time, but got low efficiency for some reason. Maybe I should have run the sparge off more slowly.

Liking the look of the caseswap more and more by the day. Good to see a number of dark(er) brews in the list...I love me dark beers.

Speaking of dark beers, my porters maturing away at a gravity of about 1.014 (~6.4%). Taking a bit of a gamble with the long maturation, but from what I sampled it's tasting nice and smooth. Here's hoping it stays that way! :beerbang:

 

[Tony]

As i just said in the HAG case swap thread....... brewing confidance is at an all time low. I cant get anything right and im going to have to pull out of the swap.

sorry folks but i dont trust myself to brew a decent beer ATM.

Sorry. Maybe next year if i can pick things up.

cheerfs

 

[Stuster]

Damn shame, Tony. Guess you could brew something and drop back in when somebody else drops out later on. Anyway, hope you can sort out the brewing problems and get back to making great beer. :icon_cheers:

 

[Tony]

will see how i go.

probably not. <_<

but we will see hey.

cheers

 

[Fatgodzilla]

Sad to lose an A grader like yourself from the swap but appreciate your honesty. There's will be a another swap another time..

How about Pilsner malt instead of Ale malt ?

Doc

 

[kabooby]

Brewed my Bock today.

Put 25l into a cube and put 15l straight into the fermentor to crash chill. Pitched the yeast this afternoon so when this is done the 25l can go straight on the yeast cake.

Kicked arse with my efficiency so it looks like we have a dopplebock
