Brewing this tomoz

Anything Gose, a Gherkin Gose collaborative brew

46% pils
46%wheat
8%acidulated

1040
1007
4.32%
8ibu (magnum)

mash @ 65C

salt addition will be 4g/l sweet spiced pickles/gherkin before whirlpool or at whirlpool

us05

lactic acid added in keg if required

have fun with that
 
Brewing up a sort of Ruthless Rye... I may have screwed myself over with 33% rye and no hulls. First 45 min of mash, fine... next 2 hours not so much fun. Almost finished the first batch sparge, will blast some water up thru the stainless braid, give it a good mix around and see if I can vorlauf, fly sparge after that.

Wish me luck? ;-)
 
Halfway through the mash:

CaramaComa,
Red lager

Vol=21L
OG = 1.045
FG = 1.009
IBU=36
EBC=35
alc=4.9%

3.07 kg Vienna (77.5%)
0.6kg Munich (15%)
0.3kg CaraAroma (7.5%) B)
0.02kg Midnight Wheat (0.5%)
0.02kg Acidulated (0.5%)

20g each of Hall Mitt & Styrians @ FWH
20g Hall Mitt + 30g Styrians @20mins/cube

55/65/72/78 for 5/70/20/5

Yeast = S-189

Hopefully not too much CaraAroma!
 
8% acidulated droid?!?! You madman. PLUS lactic in the keg? Please feed back on how that one goes.
Got a hockey team gathering in a few weeks so decided to put on something simple and hopefully flavoursome. Never tried Centennial before, haven't brewed a pale ale in yonks, so fingers crossed I got the hop balance right.

23l final volume
3.60kg MO
0.27kg carapils
Mash at 64°C
24g @ 60 mins
15g at flameout
30g in the cube
Maybe dry hop the remaining 36g
Ferment at 18°C with WLP008 East Coast Ale (also haven't tried)

Targeted 1.043 but somehow hit 1.050 according to my refractometer. Will take a hydrometer reading pre-ferment and dilute accordingly. Plan is 4.6%, FG 1.008 and 30IBU.
