What Are You Brewing - 2014

[manticle]

Could be anything really although I get grapefruit citrus zest and some pineapple more than sweaty pineapple pants and while it's not crazy bang (also the amounts I use), it's not really subtle either. Distinct, assertive, not over the top.
Is kohatu nz? This is US according to the bag (us something).

 

[seamad]

Try the MJ07.... I did in an ESB and loved it. Fermented a bit warm, maybe 22c.

MO 96%
Caraaroma 4%
Styrian 45g @ 40min and 50g in the cube for 37ibu (No Chill)

Think I will give it a try, be interesting to compare the 2 in the same wort.
I have used caraaroma a lot in esb's, it's a kick arse xtal, but just not the same as heritage.

 

[yankinoz]

A partial mash, 22L:

BIAB mash followed by dunk sparge at 64 degrees: 2.1 kg JW Vienna, 110 g Caraamber, 200 g Victory, 200 g Carahell
extract: 1400 g Briess Golden DME
80 minute boil, DME at -45 minutes
hops: 6g Simcoe at -60, 27 g Simcoe and 23 g Centennial at -20, 17 g Centennial at knockout (immediately cooled to 79, let to stand 15 minutes before completing chilling), will dry hop w leftover Simcoe and Centennial

This is a trial variation on a favorite recipe that makes 20L, uses 900 g of DME, and uses Amarillo instead of Centennial.

Another batch of berlinner wiesse. First ( successful haha ) attempt almost finished fermenting, and I want to put the slurry to good use as I've heard batches fermented with the slurry can be even more sour.


65.5% dingemans pils
34.5% wheat malt

Tettnanger 60 mins

1.030
5 IBU

Slurry of wyeast lacto and German ale.

I plan to split each batch. Half will be bottled as is, the other half will get aged on brett for a few months before bottling.

This is my latest today, currently mashing. Catalogued all my hops and grain, and found a lot of 'old' and opened packets of both hops and grain, some crushed from before I had my own mill. The balance could be completely up the **** (lots of xtal!!!) and this beer could taste worse than mouse piss, but it was probably going to end up in the bin if I didn't brew with it now.

Love a good session ale, and that look like the dog's. Just 1 question, why dry hop with citra when it's not in the main hop schedule? Actually 2, do you really get nil IBUs from the steeped hops?

Because dry hopping with citra is bloody awesome!!!
