It was kegged on saturday night and is carbonating at the moment, will be sampling on friday this week.

I ended up dry hopping only 5.3g/L and the aroma from the FV was excellent, great combo!

Looking forward to sampling.

So how'd you go? I've read this guys blog about this beer and keen to give it a got this week with the Voyager veloria malt.

 

[Bridges]

Bravo Cascade Pale Ale
67.5% Pilsner
20% Vienna
6.25% Carapils
6.25% Wheat

Bravo and cascade at 45, 20, 0 minutes to 37 IBU and some my entire crop of cascade flowers from the one bine I grew (SFA) thrown in at flameout too.
Using my new hop spider from Full Pint looks like its going to be a winner.
Haven't used bravo before, forgot I even had it or when I got it, 2012 crop from Yob, should be interesting, smelt good.

 

[indica86]

Made a Mexican lager recently with Calypso hops and Polenta.
Made a XXXX Bitter improvement? called Cluster **** with Cluster hops (obviously).
Put down a cider with $30 of apples and pears in the bargain bin. 15 litres and fermenting nicely this morning.

 

[peekaboo_jones]

Nice one Indi!
Last night I threw a Coopers Mexican with BE2 and some extra dry malt to 21L for some megaswill mates when they visit. One doesn't like pale ales but he's keen to buy some of this batch off me.
Since I've got the brew fridge going I chuckled to myself and put on another Mexican for me with 600g light dry malt and 500g wheat dry malt to 22L. Probably dry hop with ~50g Kohatu and ~20g Citra

 

[paulyman]

Brewed V2 of my case swap APA during the week, but couldn't source Zythos quick enough so subbed in Amarillo.

Found some Zythos, so brewed up a Mosaic/ Zythos IPA. Dropped the damn bag while transferring it to my ghetto 2 bucket draining device, so came in 1L under.

Made a XXXX Bitter improvement? called Cluster **** with Cluster hops (obviously).

I have a beer called Kohatu Clusterfuck. Was basically an IPA bittered at 60 & 10 with equal amounts of Cluster and Kohatu, with a bit of torrified wheat thrown in. Turned out super nice after a few months in the keg.

Heating the strike water for an American Amber. Was going to use Magnum for bittering, but have run out. I thought of Centennial and Cascade to replace it as they are my flavour hops, but had the idea that Northern Brewer could be a good thing and am going to run with it. Haven't used MO in an AAA before but thought why not?

Raven Imperial Stout (No chill) 23l batch

1st attempt using reiterated mashing.. Hope it improves the efficiency that drops of usually with big grain bills.

11.7- 500g Pale Choc and 350g Carafa III cold steeping in ~ 8l cold water.

12.7- 6kg Maris Otter + 6g CaCl mashed at 65c for 9 hours (mashed in before I left for work) when I got home temp was 60c.
Raised temp to 72 while stirring, lifted bag and rinsed with 2l of 80c water. Dumped spent grain and put bag back into wort.

Added: 1kg JW Trad ale
1kg JW Wheat,
1kg Red x,
600g TF Brown malt,
350g Carapils,
300g Light xtal, 200g Med xtal, 100g Dark xtal,
500g Golden naked oat,
600g Biscuit malt,
3g CaCl, 3g CaSO4
Mashed at 68 until morning.

Will add 40g Magnum and 70g East Kent holdings as FWH and add the dark malts liquid as it comes to the boil.
Plan is to split this batch into two using the same yeast (WLP022) but one will get vanilla beans and the other roasted cacao nibs, both will have ~200g French oak dominos soaked in spiced rum added to them.
