Vic X-mas In July 2009 Case Swap - Recipes

[therook]

Damn i feel silly posting this after seeing the AG stuff above, but here goes anyway;

Random English Ale

Kits and bits

Morgans Royal Oak Amber Ale goo
1.7kg Amber LME
500g DME/Dex mix
20g Pride of Ringwood for 15 mins
10g at Flameout
Nottingham Yeast in a starter

OG 1048

Strong ferment at 17 degrees

Hoping this one comes out clean and easy drinking - not exactly a hop monster but that wasn't what i was going for here.

Tasting great now at 1018, still fermenting furiously, this should attenuate very well.

Going to have 1 week in primary then rack it. Will be gelatined as well for clarity.

Embarrassing compared to some of the other stuff on offer here but hopefully it's drinkable :-(

I think Leigh done a part mash or similar last year and it ended up being one of the best beers

I think my first 2 caseswaps were Kits and bits. my last one was an extract/partial. so dont worry about it

 

[Neill]

Thanks guys, hope it's okay. i'm aiming for something with very little bitterness and a big malty body - i don't know if it will be to everybody's taste :huh: but that's half the fun!

Tis, Replied Aunt Helga!

Atleast you know you're malt forward beer will balance all of those overly hopped APA's IPA's.. myself included.

:icon_drool2:

It might just help you stand out that little more!

Looking forward to this one Fents - very curious what Chinook is like as a FWH addition.
Looks remarkably similar to LCPA...

 

[Fents]

90 min Saccharification Add 28.80 L of water at 71.2 C 65.0 C
10 min Mash Out Heat to 75.6 C over 20 min 75.6 C


Notes:
------
Mash was too hot @ 66-degrees minimum. Sparged with 42L of acidified water done quickly and used stocking to catch draf once recirc. complete. Was 78-degrees on dial. Added 5-litres to boiler to get to 1.039 from 1.042, finished at 1.045 with 70 min- boil. Cloudy and chilling overnight to rack off trub. Force heating from 8-degrees. Excess wort over yeast cake in starter needs to be racked off if in carboy, I learned. Should have maybe left the 5L out of boiler?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is fermenting at 15-degrees after starting at 17 once the yeast took off and caught me unaware.

I thought it'd be easier to put my recipe in the DB so here's the link:

http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...&recipe=783

however, it was a complete b1cth, cos the Db is not set up well for k+b - argh!

Hey all,

I'm gonna make a DunkelWeizen.

I got the recipe from here:
http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...&recipe=278

My OG did not reach 1.059, it was more like 1.052.

I didn't actually read the mashing instructions, so I ended up doing my normal routine. Mash in at 66. Mash out raised to 75ish (I think from memory), then sparge. Next time I think I'll try this "single decoction mash" thingy. Anyone think it'll make a big difference?

My first time using liquid yeast! Wyeast 3068. Hope it works! I checked it the other day and it had a great banana smell!! (Honestly don't know how a dunkelWeizen should smell/taste, but I was hoping for banana).

regards

:icon_offtopic: Does anyone else think the the "search" functionality (if you can call it that), is royally screwed???? It just doesn't seem to work!

Since I'm obviously useless, and can't even do a simple search, can someone please post a link to the wiki?

Don't worry, I went through the other case swap thread and found a link... But still had to winge about the crappy "search"...

 

[brettprevans]

just look in the wiki. or link is here

edit: oops just read your post better and see that youve found it.

 

[Fents]

the links permantly in my sig...

 

[peas_and_corn]

Wouldn't it also be good to whack the recipes in the recipe DB and post a link?

 

[beerDingo]

+1 for that P&C.

Then we can also rate them with a star rating.
