Wouldn't need to change the ingredients much for the pale (same hops, grains etc) - just different yeast and proportions.

 

[Wolfman]

I have updated the article.

 

[Yob]

I also have a OTS element that I can bring. Let me know.

Please do bring yours, I think I reduced the service life of mine last night... I unknowingly left my element on when tooling about with my HEX and only found out at 1am when the power tripped... I went out to the shed and it had boiled the pot almost dry <_<

I wouldnt be surprised if it did go bang on the day... I will test it tonight but is probably a good idea to have the spare handy.

Hope it's alright mate. I'll bring mine along.

We'll need two minimum if we're going to step mash in Fents' esky. The malt profile won't be there if we don't (although a decoction or two might add to the fun).

 

[Yob]

a decoction you say? Fancy that you mad scientist :lol:



Shall I also bring a spare gas bottle? methinks it might not be a bad idea if we do go down that road...

 

[manticle]

Yeah. I've updated the article with a list of specific ingredients and extra equipment so if people can put their names next to what they can contribute or bring and how much of each ingredient, that would be good.

If Tripper's system is only 2 cubes, we might as well keep it simple and just brew the one big beer across both systems unless anyone crazily disagrees?

Ive got my list started B)

If we do the Belgian Pale we can knock out 55 Litres (3 cubes) and a couple of litres for a starter on my system. I think its a better idea to brew a lower OG beer to produce an extra cube for someone. What do people think? But at the same time im not too fussed what people decide to do.

Dont forget the swag! I hope the cars stayin the night.....

 

[Yob]

Most certainly is... leftover spit roast and eggs fro brekkie?

What about a fire pit? Im pretty sure a fire is compulsory for a case swap ?

I can chuck a bit of fire wood in the back too if needed?

Of course mate. Fire is essential, already sorted. A little extra wood would be great.

Below is the recipe i suggest on my system. I just dropped the grain bill slightly to ensure it all fits nicely. My system will produce 3 cubes at approx 6%. Open to any suggestions. Are people happy if the colour is slightly out. I can up it if you like

TEMP: 55/62/68/72/78
TIME: 5/15/45/10/10

Decoct twice after the 62 step, nice and thick and add back in towards the end steps (one for 72, one for 78). Can alternatively just step.

Cool, we will be able to just step it up on my system right though to mash out.

The strike water will be ready nice and early mate

 

[manticle]

I know you're kicking things off at 12 but should I aim for earlier?
