jeesus pratty, you're a brewing machine. either you have a very serious drinking problem, or you have a very long list of very thirsty relatives. but your recipes sure sound tasty. I think I might have to try that amber you posted the other day.

Haha, the braumiester does all the work!

The Amber ale is the 6th addition that will be entered into the state comp along with this weekends IPA, well worth making i think Paulyman made it and was very happy, he subbed Citra for Mosaic.

Should be doing honours research, mashing instead. Little Creatures Bright Ale 13L batch in software aiming for 12L VIF:

1.88kg Pilsner Malt
0.53kg Vienna
0.32kg Wheat
50g Crystal 60L

Half of the wheat was supposed to be carapils and there wasnt supposed to be any crystal but the HBS didnt have any carapils so i subbed it for wheat and added the crystal. The crystal brings it up closer to what the actual LCBA colour is anyway.

Mash
68C for 60 minutes
78c Mashout for 10 minutes

Boil
6g Motueka 7%AA @45 minutes
6g Cascade 7%AA @45 minutes
8g Motueka @ 20 minutes
8g Cascade @ 20 minutes
11g Galaxy 14%AA @0 minutes
11g Motueka @ 0 minutes

[mje1980]

At a recent brew club case swap, we tasted a RIS with peated malt. I really like peated malt in dark beers. I also like Brett beers and as these brew club get togethers go, the creative juices get flowing and it gave me a bit of an idea. Whether it's a good idea or not remains to be seen

5.7% Cara pils
3.8% peated malt

I ended up using Cherries in my Witbeir instead of raspberries.

I bought 2.5kg and roughly blended them before pouring them into my secondary FV and syphoning the beer in on top of them.

The whole brew is a super sexy ruby red now... B)
