What Are You Brewing - 2014

[Kumamoto_Ken]

A 'Leftovers' Pale Ale for me this morning in an attempt to get rid of some, well, leftover hops and grain.

Golden Promise ~88%
Pale Wheat ~6%
Light Crystal ~6%
OG 1.048

Magnum at 60min to about 20IBU
5min addition of Centennial and Chinook (1g/L of each)
Cube hops: Centennial, Chinook, and Amarillo (1g/L of each).

2nd Gen BRY-97 and will dry hop with Chinook, Centennial and Citra.

 

[Maheel]

Ekka ale

BB ale
Vienna
Carapils

Hops
Summit for the bittering
Galaxy for the late addition

yeast us-05

# no Flu or Salmonella as no dirty Carnies involved

 

[philmud]

Put down yet another variation of a DSGA. Golden Promise as the base, some wheat, some munich, some caramunich. Bittered with some leftover chinook, then Nelson Sauvign and Summer late in the boil. Pitched US05 because I couldn't be fucked with a starter.

 

[Pilchard]

Looking to do a goats head rye IPA next week, got the base malt and crystal just need the rye and hops. Will use us05 for the first and sub out yeasts till I find one that plays well with the rye. Damn I love this beer....

 

[OneEye]

Just been hit with the man flu BUT this 100% Brett IPA is definitely going to be put down tomorrow.

Boiled longer than intended and ended up with 1.093 into the fermenter, without the sugar addition! Time to water it down methinks... or call it a quad...

 

[fletcher]

so many IPAs! haha. nice.

i've drunk/brewed way too many recently. am getting back into more malt-forward beers for a wee bit

having said that, Nick, i'd be very keen to try it if you bring it to the next meeting haha. looks awesome

 

[vykuza]

I'll definitely bring some to the next meeting. Well, maybe not the next as I don't think it will be ready, but the one after that!

Brew an Altbier fletch! It's the methadone going from IPAs to malty beers. It's malty but still nice and bitter.

 

[kiwisteveo]

(All Extract),Bottled a single hop cascade brew this morning,
then brewed a stout with Saflager yeast, carafa1,choc malt,roast barley and midnight wheat,dark & light dry malt,
now just about to add 15min addition of bravo hops for single hop American IPA,
the house smells pretty damn good right now.

What is this kid free day off you speak of?

Ahhh, it is a magically day when both the kids go to preschool for the day. First time in ages I've had a weekday off and the kids will be at school = brew day.

 

[OneEye]

2 Days into the 100% Brett IPA I mentioned above.... by far THE best smelling fermentation I've ever had. As soon as I opened the ferm chamber door I was smacked in the face with a massive tropical fruit aroma. Can not wait to see how this finishes up. Might not even need to dry hop!
