Hi tony I had trent over today to try my beer and he liked it ,no tannins maybe mine is a bit bitter and the hops have come through more than norm,but the malt has'nt come through as much as I liked.
I am doing it again may try mashing a litle higher as every system is differant,or maybe more malt I still have to get a bottle to know what I want,I am happy I dont have to dump my 50lts I am just getting use to flavours and maybe turning into a hop head.
cheers

 

[Tony]

Well if trent said it was ok it cant be too bad. I know trent and he is too things. very sensative to off flavours..... poor bugger, and also very honest. If its shit he will say!. Thats what i like about the guy, i know he will tell me if the beer is shit to my face.

mash it around 65 deg and try a cooler slow sparge. Sparging cooler will smooth out the malt character and sparging slowly....... like a slow dribble, will increase efficiency.

Im not sure of your methods but i like to cut the flow back so that it taked me an hour and a half to drain and sparge.

I mash fine and dont really need a slow sparge but find it helps.

I explained how i sparge a few posts back

hope this helsp a bit

cheers

I've just purchase BEERSMITH and want to brew this one as a BIAB very soon.

Can anyone see any issues with my beersmith recipe version? The others who use beersmith may find it useful.

Thanks,
MARK.

Made the brew, a half batch with brewing in a Bag (BIAB) method. Didn't really follow the steps correctly for BIAB (had way to much water). Despite this the brew tastes very good and recieved 97.5 at the Vicbrew 2008. Plan on doing it again very soon and yes it tastes very close to the original.

I would just change the AA% units for Saaz (change it to B Saaz while you're at it) to the correct B Saaz value for your stock and the same with the Cascade (if you haven't done so already), this will affect the estimated IBUs greatly.

 

[afromaiko]

I kegged this yesterday and got stuck into it last night, it's a very nice drop. I will be making this one again for sure. Good work Tony!

 

[Tony]

THis is going to be my next brew! Have fresh B-Saaz and NZ Cascade flowers so why not.

I only have MUnich 2 and dark wheat so will have to work out a ballance/compromise on th otigional but will get it close.

Will let you all know how it goes and pics when its on tap.

cheers

Just about to make a version of this. Couldnt get saaz B so have gone with some northern brewer for bittering and amarillo for the later additions. Also trying to use up some caramunich so chucked that in too.

30 litre batch

Caramunich .35kg
Pilsener 4.5kg
Vienna 1.25
Wheat .5kg


Northern Brewer (9.8% aa) 15g @ 45min
Cascade (6.3%) 15g @ 45 min
Amarillo (8.3%) 20g @ 20 min
Cascade 20g @ 20 min
Amarillo 25g @ 0 min
Cascade 25g @ 0 min

Fermented with some US-05 slurry.

Hopefully works out nice. Bit of a hop and grain clearout recipe so fingers crossed.

Anyone see a disaster about to occur?

 

[Tony]

how did it go Angry.

Looks like it would have been nice.

cheers

PS......... mine is ready ti filter. Will have it on tap by the end of the week i hope.

cheers

Looks awesome tony... am sure it tastes the same. Is next on my brew list... Cheers for the recipe. Can I ask what inspired the recipe? for example: this would go good with that, or was it trial and error, or just brewing experience, or a little from column A and a little from column B?

Cheers

Tony this is my next brew. I have the grains etc all sitting at home awaiting brew day this weekend.

Noticed you've droped the ECB and upped the IBU's. Whoa and 8.4kg Pils as well! Looks like I will be doing version 1 and maybe version 2 not too far down the track. I have a serious addiction to LCBA. Great recipe BTW!
