What Are You Brewing - 2014

[mje1980]

Next one up will be a saison. I had a saison dupont last week, the flag ship 6.5% one. Farking awesome beer. Inspired by for sure.
100% dingemans pils
EKG @ 60
EKG @ 5
I may possibly dry hop this one with more EKG
Long low mash 62-60 mins, maybe more, then 72-15. I'll re check my farmhouse ales book to see if there any detailed info on mash schedule, I'm sure there is. Lots of gypsum to bring out the bitterness. I plan on bottling and leaving a while.
3724, started coolish, then cranked right up.
1:054
33 IBU
Should finish right down low and be around 6.3%ish.

Just stumbled upon some raw spelt from a saison I brewed earlier so am adding to this one. Around 12% of the grist, the rest, ding pils. I'll give it a cereal mash. Hopefully thurs time permitting.

Wooohoooo

Ambient temperature brewing is here again, holding nicely at 18 in the garage. Should be sweet till October now.

Four little boys:

 

[Donske]

Knocking out a double batch of California common tomorrow to break in my new 70L kettle;

85% BB Galaxy
10% Biscuit
5% medium crystal

I think about 30 IBUs of NB, split between 60 minutes and cube.

Never even tried this style, just having a stab based on the style guidelines, if anyone can point out any obvious flaws please let me know.

Hmm, can't edit my posts...
I smashed my efficiency again, was expecting 70% but hit 82%
approx ABV should now be 5.8%

Made a lot of APA's, fav beer by a long way, but never, ever tried it with Rye. Should give it a go on my upcoming one.

 

[bak]

a mate tried the Smurto's GA with rye and I preferred it to the standard recipe so I was keen to try something with rye in it. Also ended doing a chocolate coffee porter with chocolate rye but that one is still sitting in the fermenter so no idea how it's going to turn out.

 

[Kiwifirst]

I have no taste concept of what adding Rye would do. I need a sampler of someone's Rye addition

do you get any taste from that 60 min addition of EKG?

 

[waggastew]

Hard to say. Earlier versions of LCPA were reported to use some EKG for bittering. If I taste the wort during the boil I get a herb/mint/menthol type note. The bitterness is meant to be quite smooth.

I stupidly didn't account for the smaller temp drop with the smallish grainbill and hit 67C when I mashed in, but got it back down to 62C within a couple of minutes and slowly brought it back up to 65C
Hopefully it wasn't too damaging :unsure:
