Toby's Stout - on it's 3rd brew now, and some American hops are sneaking in.... :icon_drool2:

48L, 1.060 @ 45 IBU

72% Gladfields Ale
8% Amber
5% Chocolate
4% Wheat
4% Crystal 60L
3% Roasted Barley
3% Roasted Wheat
1% Gladfields Shepherds Delight

Mash ~66C, med body.

Columbus & EKG @ 90min for 25 IBU
EKG & Chinook @ 0min for ~12 IBU (1.8g/L)
EKG & Chinook in the cube for ~8 IBU (1.8g/L)

Dry hop with a touch of EKG and (maybe) Chinook, ~0.8g/L

Ferment with Burton Ale yeast, WLP023.
 
Done a bit of brewing over the last three weekends. First three are test batches for a my mates cousins wedding that I'm giving in a hand in brewing for. Last two are beers (2/4 of them) I'm brewing for my birthday in late May.

Return of Hefe V5 - This one is now kegged, tasting good. Normally I use Wy3638 which I prefer but the 3068 work alright, late hops are subtle but goes nicely

OG: 1.051 IBU: 13
FG: 1.011 Size: 22L
Abv: 5.2%

3.1kg Wheat Malt
2.1kg Pilsner Malt
30g Hallertau Blanc - Cube
Wy3068

APA - Have this one CCing atm, tasting great! Like tropical punch with some citrus

OG: 1.052 IBU: 41
FG: 1.014 Size: 23L
Abv: 5%

3.8kg Maris Otter
1.2kg Munich I
0.27kg Crystal Malt
0.27kh Wheat Malt
Cube hops - 25g Galaxy, 25g Citra, 12g Simcoe
Dryhopping - 20g Galaxy, 25g Crita, 30g Cascade
Wy1272


Irish Red Ale - first all-grain red ale, tasting great. Really nice maltiness, maybe a little too sweet for my preference so may drop the mash temp slightly for the wedding batch or decrease the crystal. The late EKG goes great with the maltiness. Will be CCing this one a few days once the APA is kegged.

OG: 1.063 IBU: 31
FG: 1.016 Size: 23L
Abv: 6.2%

4.2kg Maris Otter
1.5kg Munich I
0.6kg Carared
0.25kg Caraaroma
0.02kg RB
15g Warrior @ 60min
40g EKG - Cube
Wy1084

Return of Hefe V6 - This one I went back to no late hops, but have made it a little stronger. Also going to get my hands on some of my preferred yeast. Brewed this one ahead of time and will just keep it cubed until pitching it on 24th-30th.

OG: 1.055 IBU: 13
FG: 1.011 Size: 22L
Abv: 5.8%

3.4kg Wheat Malt
2.2kg Pilsner Malt
8g Warrior @ 60min
Wy3638

Mocha Stout - Brewed this one up last night. Was running of barely sleep between tuesday-thursday night and nearly fell asleep while waiting for the mash but it all went well. Haven't brewed one of these for nearly a year despite being one of my favourite beers I've brewed. I can't rememeber what I efficiency I got from the large grain bill so I calculated it for 65%.

OG: 1.076 IBU: 35
FG: 1.020 Size: 23L
Abv: 7.4%

5.5kg Maris Otter
1.6kg Munich I

0.3kg Lactose

Will add 120g Cacao Nibs post fermentation for a week
Add 1L cold drip coffee to keg

85g of flowers is a lot to shove into a cube, for the record.

Hey techno,

The 20min additions were cubed right?

And ahhhhh, only 30g dry hop.....can you find another 150g?? Lol
 
Yep. 20 min additions = Cubed.

I wanted to use the Columbus for the boil & cube, and use the chinook for the cube and dry - so hopefully have the Columbus mainly impacting the flavour, and the Chinook mainly impacting the aroma. Not sure if this theory is going to work, but it seemed good at the time!

However I only have 35g of chinook flowers left.
... Mind you, I still have 50g from last year still...

BTW, my Chinook and Columbus flowers smell very similar (i.e.: crush the lupulin glands and take a sniff).
Do flowers from different hops normally smell kinda similar, or should chinook and Columbus smell quite different to each other? I know the pellets smell a bit different, but i was wondering if the flowers might be less discernible as the lupulin glands aren't ruptured.
Also could be my dodgy nose.
Otherwise i've just made a Chinook + Chinook IPA :mellow:
 
Just put into keg...

I'm doing a brew day this Saturday, but I figured I'd just post the recipe now anyway. Brewing a stout, loosely in the Foreign Extra style. Have dropped my brewhouse efficiency down to 63% for this one, to account for the larger than usual grain bill. Mash efficiency drops to 69%. First stout brew since late 2013 I believe. The large Willamette addition is basically just to use it up since I don't think I'll be using it in anything else. This brew is very similar to the last one I did which turned out ******* excellent.

Batch size = 21 litres.

Grains
6.000 kg Pale Malt, Maris Otter (Thomas Fawcett) (5.6 EBC) Grain 1 85.1 %
0.500 kg Roasted Barley (Thomas Fawcett) (1350.0 EBC) Grain 2 7.1 %
0.200 kg Chocolate Malt (Thomas Fawcett) (1100.0 EBC) Grain 3 2.8 %
0.200 kg Crystal Malt - Medium (Thomas Fawcett) (150.0 EBC) Grain 4 2.8 %
0.150 kg Black Malt (Thomas Fawcett) (1300.2 EBC) Grain 5 2.1 %

Hops
100.00 g Willamette - Boil 60.0 min Hop 6 45.2 IBUs
10.00 g Magnum - Boil 60.0 min Hop 7 13.1 IBUs

Yeast
Wyeast 1469 West Yorkshire Ale (starter)

90 minute mash at ~64C, followed by 10 minute mash-out at 78C.

75 minute boil, no-chilled with no hop adjustments.

Est Original Gravity: 1.066 SG
Est Final Gravity: 1.016 SG
Estimated Alcohol by Vol: 6.6 %
Bitterness: 58.4 IBUs
Est Color: 116.0 EBC

Fermenting around 19-20C. Have dropped the volume to 21 litres but kept the grains the same. Not too worried if I miss the OG by a few points, it will still be a nice big hearty beer for the winter months!
 
I'm broke and have some Pride Pellets in the freezer I need to use before they turn sus so tomorrow night I'll make

POoR man's SMaSH:

4kg Ale malt
POR FWH to 25 or 30 IBU
Mangrove Jacks California lager.

Will mash @ 62 for 40 then 70 for 30.

Ferment @ 18.

Hopefully will turn out as a reasonable guzzler.
