[yum beer]

About to get started on a new batch of my Budvar clone, last batch is almost gone.
Mate will be joining me to check out the recently completed tun and new process.
He's gonna knock out a Heineken BIAB while here.

New digital stirplate(cheers Santa) is happily stirring up a big starter of budjevice/mexican.

My daughter saw the erlenmeyer and asked if I was setting up a meth lab...haha.

Looks like a great day to brew.

what are the hop additions for that one mate. just 60 mins? i had a similar beer that my mates continually ask me to re-make haha. sounds really similar.

Half at 60 and half at 10 mins to around 25-30 IBUs. Just enough bitterness and flavour/aroma to keep it interesting. I actually don't mind it myself as a quaffer.

hahaha, it's almost identical to mine - i had a small late addition at 5 mins. classic. yeah it was a nice one. might have to remake it

Trying out the newly refurbished immersion chiller to knock the temps down quickly.

Cheers

 

[Dan Pratt]

1469 is a great yeast. Good choice.

What is the immersion chiller upgrade?

Fat Polar IPA

80% maris otter
12% vienna
5% crystal 60
3% carapils
1.055

cascade @ 60
cascade and nelson sauvin @ 20
cascade and nelson sauvin @ 7
cascade and nelson sauvin dry hopped
62 IBU

used wlp080 slurry last time, might try another yeast this time (if nothing else, just a 001 or us05) - any ideas?

Pliny Clone

87% pale malt
4% cyrstal 60
4% carapils
5% dex
1.070

100gm CTZ 90 mins
20gm CTZ 45 mins

70gms simcoe 0 mins

30gms each of simcoe, centennial and CTZ after 7 days

approx 247 IBU, actual is about 100 (i can feel my teeth getting oily as i write this)

001 or us-05

any ideas on how best to do the two dry hops given i use bunnings fermenters? should i bag them, then remove the first load, and add the second? or just chuck them all in like i normally do?
