Brewer's Notes

we couldnt get TF flaked maize so we just used dried cracked corn. if using dry cracked corn would probably be best to soak it overnight.

What a great beer!

And yes, would go the corn soak overnight to up expected efficiency.. I dropped from 83% to 72% - But to tell you the truth I am sort of grateful it is lower ABV cause I cannot stop pouring more and more...

Good work Fents and Troy :beer:

Everyone, please try it! its awesome.

Whats the mash temp for this? 66?? And how long.

I cant get TF flaked maize but can get Bairds flaked maize. Any difference??

I mashed at 66.

I wouldn't see a difference in the 2 flacked maize's.... But don't know, others will know better....

All I know is corn works!

BTW: This is what I took to xmas day and had non beer drinkers 4 to 5 glasses in asking me about making beer.. HAHAHA!! Good for them!

So we are looking at -

40% Trad Ale
40% Pilsner
20% Flaked Maize
20 IBU's

Cocko. What did you go?

 

[Cocko]

Spot on grain ratios.

I ended up with 21.9 IBU.

Also, the last 2 I have made I used Hallertauer Mittlefruh and prefer it over the liberty but both are good.

Cheers

20% Bairds Flaked Maize (1kg)
42g Liberty Pellets @ 60min

go forth, brew the cream of all ales and enjoy it on a hot summers day.

and if you can get liberty use anything noble like hallertau etc. (sometimes libertys a bit hard to find fresh)

I find my version of this is killer with northern brewer.

This one slipped right under my radar at the time. I have made an almost identical brew but using all Green Bullet flowers (NZ). 30g 90 mins and 20g 10 mins.

And for the maize:

ba-boom.........



You can cook it to a mush like a thin porridge and add to the mash, or just add it to the mash in dry form. I did that with my last brew and it has come out brilliant but pre-boiling it will give absolutely guaranteed results.

The weetbix would probably work well! Actually Polenta is just pure yellow maize so makes a great adjunct. The fruit loops would probably go better in a Belgian with some cloves and orange peel.

400L !!!!! Is that a typo and you meant 40?

WTF? Are you from seria? :blink:

Although I must say If I was running out 400L batches this brew would be my first attempt! 400L of quaffer.... good choice.

Anyone know whether using the pre-cooked Polenta will make a difference? I can only find the pre-cooked stuff in 1kg packs and was wondering how many I would need to get 1kg worth of dry Polenta? If anyone knows anywhere in Melbourne where they sell the dry stuff, point me to it!
