Redcoats IPA (Extract)
(developed with Ianh's spreadsheet, so no flashy promash report)

approx. 3.5kg LDME (My scales are no good for large sizes, so this was a rough, mildly educated guess - I was working towards an OG of 1070)
60g Carapils
100g Crystal

40g Simcoe (12.3%) @ 60 min
20g Amarillo (8.6%) @ 60 min
10g Willamette (4.9%) @ 20 min
20g Amarillo (8.6%) @ 20 min
20g Willamette (4.9%) @ 5 min
10g Amarillo (8.6%) @ 5 min

S-04

OG: 1067
FG: 1010 (expected 1016...)
IBU: 68

Grains steeped in 4l @ 65c for 30 minutes. Sparged with 2l water, and 500g LDME added to make 6l boil volume.

I wasn't expecting this to attentuate so low, so hope there isn't too much in the way of IBU's. Still, most of us are hopheads, right?

 

[Maple]

Looks good zeb. Looking forward to trying it! I've been known to be liberal with hops

 

[Fourstar]

HOLY CRAP! :huh:

I overshot my efficiency into the boiler!, 93%!!!!

Looks like i'll just have to thin it out (what a shame)... after all i was expecting a LOWWW alc Bia Hoi, Not a 6% Rocket Fuel jobby! :beerbang:

EDIT: GO DOGGIES!!!! (cats supporter)

 

[manticle]

I'm not confident in my pilsner at the moment. Not to say it's bad but I want to offer something I know I'm happy with and I've taken a big punt on this one (trying to challenge myself).

I may brew an Amarillo American Brown next week to swap instead. Nonetheless, if I decide to do that, I will still bring a number of bottles of pilsner along so I can at least get feedback on them.

We shall see.

Well, highest efficieny ever!
80% into the fermenter after adding 2L of boiled water just before flameout. before that (86% otherwise)
Damn. looks like you all are getting more of a commerical Viet beer, i added some more Magnum before flameout with the Perle hops (5g) or 4 IBU more.

cheers!

No chilled. I may need to roast more pumpkin and add to fermenter, and perhaps more spices/hops. I will check it out.

I was going to make Ross's Summer Ale, but my first attempt at it wasn't entirely satisfactiory. It was my 4th AG attempt, but I swear they all have a wierd finish/aftertaste... but that's a topic for another thread... so I decided to try to make a k+b version of the summer ale. I put on an experimental batch last week and it's tasting pretty good. Here's the recipe

Coopers canadian blonde kit (IBU 25, EBC 4.2)
600 g light DME
500 g rice malt extract
100 g cara pils
galaxy hop flowers 14.9 % AA - 5g at 20 min, 5 g at 10 min and 15 g dry hopped
nelsen sauvin flowers 11.4% AA - 5g at 20 min, 5 g at 10 min and 15 g dry hopped
US-05

V - 21L OG - 1044

I'm waiting to see how this turns out before making the 'swap batch', so if you have any suggestions on how I might tweak this recipe - please comment

Aussie Gold Digger Lager double batch

tasted my contribution on the weekend. great little drop. still needs some more carbing but it will be right by the time the caseswap comes along and will have had like 3 months lagering time. possibly a little much POR up front (taste wise not bitterness), but still a very nice beer. i suppose you would back off on it if you werent a big POR fan or if you were making it for the masses, but then again i cant see anyone not liking this.

edit:

so if you have any suggestions on how I might tweak this recipe - please comment

well instead of using straight rice extract you could try mashing the rice from scratch. of course i would only bother with that if you decided to do a partial. also you might want to consider throwing in some wheat extract given Ross SA calls for wheat. you could reduce 600g of LDME to 400g and add 200g of Wheat extract.
but other than that, its a nice simple 'grain' bill that should let the hops shine through

 

[Wonderwoman]

thanks for the advice CM2 - I have some wheat DME at home, so that would be an easy modification

Hi WW,

I think the 100gm of carapils would almost be a time waste, given it is the only grain in the recipe, and hardly going to change the character of the beer (particularly if you go with wheat DME for head retention). I'd be leaving it out, and going with the DME + kit + rice/wheat extract, and save yourself an hour of carapils steap & boil.

Just my opinion - always looking at ways of saving time on brew day!

I like the sound of the Galaxy/NS combo, though I would excercise caution dry-hopping with both. You could easily cut both to 5-10gm each, and still end up with prominent dry-hop character. In fact, given the %aa of both varieties, I'd almost be inclined to do a single 5-minute addition of 15-20gm each, let steep while cooling the wort, and not bother with dry-hopping.

Look forward to tasting it!
Hutch.

The biggest positive from the carapils will be addition of malt aroma that is stripped out of extract. It doesnt hurt to give back some of the malty/toasty/husky notes that are usually non existant in extract.

or add a touch of light crystal. not at all necessary though. but then again its a bit of extra work just for a little grain. i'd probably still do it as you've got to boiul up some extract anyway for the hop additions. so its only some extra time for steeping.

Brewed this on Tuesday (6/10), all went pretty smoothly, nice easy brew day after a 6 week layoff due to be OS (and busy). Yeast pitched last night.

I knocked a batch of this out as part of Aust Biggest Brew Day and it is a tasty drop... fingers crossed this one turns out as good. I had to sub some of the pale ale malt for pils as I had run out (and didn't realise).

Cheers,

Brendo

Can vouch that this is a tasty drop indeed. My keg of the first run of this brew dried up a few weeks ago. All who tried it, enjoyed.

8 Grain types (ignoring the pils)! Think you could have subbed some of those out? hehehe.
Interesting to see how it turns out brendo, or as can happen with too much complexity "a muddled mess".

yeah I know what you mean Fourstar... I think the next iteration I will dial things back a bit to see how it comes out, but it worked well first time around B)
