I stopped in at Granite Belt Brewery near Stanthorpe yesterday. All his beers are fairly old school and I really enjoyed them, especially his Irish Red Ale which was just perfectly balanced. It was quite a contrast to the current trends of bio-transformed soured NEIPA with grapefruit juice and juniper berries etc. So I plan on concentrating on getting back to some old-school brews that are simple but some of the most difficult to get right - starting with a Helles. I have a W34/70 yeast cake ready to go. Then maybe I'll dust off my red ale recipe at some stage...
 
The only new years resolution I have is to post in this thread.

Simple English like pale. Not enough spec malt to be a special or ESB but too much alcohol to be an ordinary.

that will be a cheap brew!
 
session IPA- based off the golden road brew co's 'wolf pup'

maris otter
pale malt
carapils
rye
68-69c mash

simcoe whirlpool to 50 ibu
6g/L simcoe, mosaic, galaxy, and chinook - dry hopped
200 sulphate, 67 cacl, 6.4 mash pH
us-05 at 18c
60 secs of 02
4.5% abv

sexy
 
^ sexy!!

how many grams of Simcoe into the Whirlpool to get the 50ibu?
 
that will be a cheap brew!

< $15 for raw ingredients and thats rounding up.

I plan to dry hop this also which I've realized that I didn't add that to the recipe. I have 100g of Mandarin Bavarian on its way to me from iBrew so planning to dry hop 56g of that hop to this beer. Trying and get some tropical notes into the aroma along with the typical spice. That dry hop will add another $5.60 to the beer.

so for $21 = $1 per litre
