I concur hence I didn't bang on about it. If it's no good though that's what I'll blame :p
I'm on call for work too, haven't even been drinking.
 
Today's concoction. Mosaic Dry, or something. Odd time of year for this but whatever. Boiling right now.
38lt All grain brew. Style: Australian Bitter Ale with Imported Ingredients!
Total grain 8kg. Mashed started at 63.3c in esky fell to 59c after 150 minutes.
Total Hop Pellets 100g.


62.5% Maris Otter
18.7% Wheat Malt
6.3% Cara Malt
6.3% Crystal Malt
6.3% Munick Malt

40g Mosaic 80 minutes
60g Mosaic 1 minute

Currently failing to get a pre boil gravity or I have got 99% mash efficiency. That's bullshit.

Estimations:
OG 1.046
FG 1.006
5.1% abv
17.7 EBV
33 IBU

2nd Culture Recycled Safale US-05 from previous Cascade Harvest Ales.
 
Result of that last brew that I cant edit.
OG = 1.050 Overshooting estimations :beerbang:

so have to wait for FG now. Who knows I've got as low as 1.002 but will guess 1.008. ABV = 5.5%.

Home brew! :super:

What's your boil time/length?
 
erm...60 minutes

and some research suggests the 20 minute should refer to boil time eh?

im just adding all the hops with 20 to go <edit plus the dry hop later>

so what have I got? It's not too late, mashing away now - help me man!
 
Third iteration of my American(ish) Rye Amber Ale. Thick, spicy, malty, hoppy.... :icon_drool2:. Nothing subtle.

Might find something more interesting than the '001 when I go to ferment it, possibly Burton ale again. Or coopers.

I'm currently busting the cherry on the new brew-rig (after a number of changes), just to get some numbers dialled-in.

'Thought I'd go the whole hog, so I've got two batches going at the same time:

1. Aussie Pale Ale (maybe CSA clone?). This one is running on the "main" rig (HERMS);
2. English Bitter (1st-ever try at a BIAB to see how it goes).

FINALLY making beer in Kinglake!!!

When it rains it pours ey Mark?
 
An all mead Sunday in Kyogle yesterday. Sweet and Dry batches. Just the plain variety - honey, water, yeast, nutrient and country music.

And I have yet to think of a punny name for any of them.

Double batch, true, but apparently I've become rather blase at the amount of hops I've been using recently... Didn't really notice almost a half kilo was going into this until a mate pointed out I was using a lot of hops! :blink:

Might be time for some scottish ales, or something else more malt forward....

Yep. I've gone from not brewing for months, to having 5 full cubes in a few days

Won't have to brew til next year :)
 
Besides the Willamette ale for the single hop swap that is.
 
After last year, never brewing the same thing twice mindset. I've settled on two recipes I'll keep as house beers. 1. ginger beer (with chilli) and 2. DRSGA which I just love. I'll keep with the same base but experiment with different hops(thanks Yob) and yeast. anyone tried Golden ale with a English style yeast like wyeast 1084 ??

Mate, 1084 is Irish Ale yeast (apparently Guinness strain). It's a FEROCIOUS fermenter (capable of fermenting small titanium alloy blocks!), but is kinda neutral, so don't expect any "fruity" character from it. It all depends what you're looking-for.
 
Currently thinking of brewing a sort-of clone of Billy B's, best real apple juice suggestions?
