Looks good Fents! Cant wait to get my lips around it!

What direction did you take for the corn? Polenta? Or did you get some corn flaked by Dave? How did your efficiency go?
 
got that cracked corn off dave that he runs through his coffee grinder. hit 1.048 into the frementer so about 70% eff.

Nice work! I found my efficiency increased when i went to kibbled(grits) corn or polenta. Both with the same results. Best of all you dont need to cook the arse out of kibbled or polenta either.

Possibly a honey wheat beer Notung

all you need is some orange blossom honey from harcourt just down the rd

Kleiny

Thanks for the help people. I'm going to go with the honey wheat idea. I'll hop lightly at 60mins, aiming for little over 15ibus. Wondering whether I should use 60% wheat, 40% pils as is traditional in Germany, and do a single decoction mash - may be helpful as I'm using Powells wheat. I'll add the honey just prior to cubing and ferment on the cool side with the DCL SAFwheat. What do you think? Thanks.

Sounds good, have a look around for the 'rule of 30', especially in wheat beers. From memory, this is what drives the clove/banana that make an awesome wheatie, which I think would go well with the honey.
 
add the honey at cubing/end of boil is right. old methodology for brewing with honey used to favour boiling or heating the honey to pasturize it (ie so no begs were left alive). however new methodology when using honey doesnt boil or pasturize as its been shown to loose a lot of the flavour and aroma components. there's so much sugar and little accessable nutrients for bacteria to access in honey that you dont really need to boil it.

edit: go for a ballsy honey as well. something like iron bark, red gum or if using enough quanitity orange blossum.

The orange blossom honey has a great flavour and aroma which is really noticeable its not a weak honey like some of the clover varieties around.

I find a lot of the eucalypt honeys to strong especially within a wheat beer, and possibly with the method you suggest CM2.

I have always added them at the end of boil and got good results, i would be interested in putting it in later and see what i get.

Also Notung i sent you a PM im just about to keg a wheat beer and could drop some wyeast 3638 in for you to use if you want it.

Kleiny
yup general consensus within mead making is to steer away from the eucalypt honeys b/c of the strong tastes they can impart. i suppose a eucalypt wheat could be nice but it wouldnt only want to be a hint.
 
Put this down Friday..

Notes:
------
Set to 3c for last two days.
 
Brewed a honey wheat beer yesterday, as suggested here, for the swap.

2.75kg Wheat (Powells)
2.75kg Pils (Malteurop)
20g Tettnang @ 60mins (~9 IBUs)
500g Banksia honey (at flameout)
130g leftover marinated bloodorange desert (light but syrupy, zesty)

25L no chilled.

Mashed in with a beta glucan rest, raised to protein rest and pulled a decoction which eventually raised the mash to saccharification @ 68C. Hit the pre-boil targets but I will wait until pitching to confirm OG. Will pitch a bottle of Wyeast #3638 (Bavarian wheat) slurry - thanks to Kleiny!

I may need to warn those in swap not to consume this beer straight away - give a couple of weeks to carb up.

Wow! A Blood Orange Honey Hefeweizen! Interested to see how this pans out! Got me drooling already! Just make sure you carbonate high ;)

Cheers! :beerbang:

Probably best to update the wiki page (link) with a preferred drinking date.

My ESB will only just be 2 weeks in the bottle at the time of the swap, and I'm finding from my previous batch it is at its best after 4 weeks.
