State Comps jyo?

 

[balconybrewer]

Sure is mate, check it out here and also barleyman as you mentioned (might be sold out?)

https://www.facebook.com/voyagercraftmalt

Adaption of Dr Smurto's Golden Ale with Rye. Using Kohatu and B Saaz, this beer tastes like lime splice. Also trying out a new base malt I got through a mate. I may be wrong but I think it is similar to the Schooner malt sold by Barleyman, made as a one small batch.

That's the one. Only my personal reserve left Expecting more stock soon!

To contribute, I just made a batch with the abovementioned malt, a super simple POR ale to get a good handle on the flavour:

99% Voyager Craft Malt "Schooner" Ale Malt
1% Wheat Malt
22IBUs of POR at 60 minutes
BRY-97
1.045 OG
Mashed at 63C

State Comps jyo?

Funny you say that. It wasn't until I had finished sparging that I thought about putting this in the state comp. This is based on my first APA grain bill that placed 3rd at state and 4th at Nats...here's hoping.

I'm hoping I have hit my haze issues on the head with this one, if it is ph related. 5.2 in the mash, fly sparged only raised to 5.4 final runnings.

 

[verysupple]

Sounds tasty verysupple.
This bit amused me though:

Ha. That should have been "brew length". I've always wondered why they call it that as you rightly point out, it's not a length at all.

Thoughts.....for me thats alot of munich and more so dark crystal. The munich at 30% is already offering a maltier beer so if you intend to have 30% Id knock that Dark crystal back to 3-5%, even without the munich 10% crystal is quite high for how i make a APA

Looks like I entered the wrong crystal, it is a lighter crystal, 115ish EBC. Does that make a difference?
Unfortunately all grains have been milled at the LHBS and all in one bag so i will not be able to change ratios.....
So should I call it something else other than APA?
It will be Maltier and sweeter than an APA?

Thanks

dont stress, 10% light or dark is still 10%. The dark just has more non fermentables than the light that will remain in the beer. What its called doesnt matter either, you will soon see what a 30% munich beer and a 10% crystal beer taste like, possibly with all citra it will be just right.

 

[Kumamoto_Ken]

An ESB is underway at the moment.

Golden Promise 94%
Light Crystal 4%
Dark Crystal 2%

EKG at 60 minutes to 40IBU.
Cube hopping with EKG as well.

WLP002.

 

[Donske]

Simple pale ale on the cards tomorrow I reckon, 88% pale malt, 10% biscuit, 2% caramunich 3. Simcoe FWH to 10 IBUs, another 25ish IBUs of Cascade in the cubes, thinking around 1.045 OG.

Should be a nice quaffer looking ahead to the weather warming up in a month or so.

May throw some Belle Saison at a cube for shits and giggles, its gotten a run in pretty much every thing else recently.

Only had mish mashes of hops left which was an absolute ******* to discover, and being this is more of a Euro brew being done with an American yeast, it's fittingly called Baracks *******.
