Wyeast 1056
Mashed for 85mins @ 67c
Missed my numbers....my driveway is slanted, so used more water than planned. I ended up with 29 litres in kettle.

In the end, it will be beer, and better than Tui or DB Export

Currently have an Enigma/Galaxy pale ale fermenting away, just did the dry hop. First time using Enigma so that's new territory (recipe below). Then after that I've got my Isolation Pale which I'll brew twice but one I'll ferment with US05 and the other London Fog Ale, keen to see what differences the yeast alone produce with the same base recipe. Then I'll need to brew something dark to get me through the winter months.. happy brewing everyone!

Just finished a couple of extract brews - Amber Ale & Bockenator from the Coopers DIY. Have a Coopers Vintage Ale Clone in the Keezer at the moment and a S&W and Chimay Blue Clone conditioning ready for next week. Finally pickup a kettle tomorrow to start some all grain but have two Belgian triple extracts to complete first. The first all grain will be a DSGA variation -:


Maris Otter Crisp Malt 5kg

Vienna Malt 2kg

Crisp Malt Rye 1.7kg

Caraaroma 300g

Citra Hop Pellets 50g

Galaxy Hop Pellets 60g

Safale US-05 x 2

After a number of years away from brewing I got my shed cleaned up, new BIAB bag, gear tested and will be doughing in tomorrow.

COVID IPA
12kg Ale Malt
0.5kg Victory
0.5kg Red Wheat
0.15kg Dark Crystal

El Dorado to about 45IBU
Mosaic @ 5mins
Cascade @ 1min

Mosaic / Cascade dry hop

US-05

Expecting my efficiency to be crap, but will be happy if i end up with ~40Ltrs of 1.060 in the fermentor and something approaching 6.5%ABV and 60IBU

Good to be back on the wagon.

[Schikitar]

Did a double brew day yesterday, was a long day as I'm still learning the finer points of the Brewzilla only four brews in (including these two)!

Put down my Isolation Pale Ale (Amarillo/Mosaic/Centennial) recipe and also my Worting from Home IPA (Centennial/Enigma/Cascade), I'll spare you the full details as I was using up a lot of malts I've been holding on to for a little while, probably wouldn't normally use the combination that I did. Was more focussed on the hops and the schedules as I'm still trying to get that big, robust hop burst of flavour/aroma. I've gone back to making 20/15/10/5/0 minute additions after abandoning them just for just doing whirlpool additions for a while there.. will see how that goes!

Pilsner malt 70%

[Ian Smith]

Bought 25kg of Pilsner malt and decided to brew a succession of beers with yeast being the only variable.
So using the Brewzilla and 2 x fermenters I have built some super simple beer.
1. Pilsner and Pride of Ringwood. US05 in one, S189 in other
2. Pilsner / Munich+Wheat, Pride of Ringwood . US04 in one, Gen2 of the S -189.
Looking for a plain and simple beer - to have on tap when we are allowed guests again.
Just because I like the hopped up ones, it does not mean everyone does.
All tasted great going into fermenter - 1. is in the keg - tasted good. 2. is fermenting at lower temp 13 + 16 Deg. Will pop up towards end of fortnight. Gen2 S189 tasted great when I did a Gravity ( super fast from 1045 to 1025 - 2 days).

Have Kolsch on keg(x2) - gen2 WY2565 - still letting that condition.

On another note - had a Galaxy beer go silly on me - didn't turn out like supposed to. Tasted like the burnt smell of an electronic device - but had no bad smell. Put an infuser of Hallertau straight in keg - 1 x week later it is palatable. Anyone ever had this???

I reckon this is a great idea. I did a similar thing a few years ago, and it really helped me learn about the flavor profile of various yeasts. I then did it with a number of hops at another time. A great learning method!

I never managed to get that specific taste, but once had a bitter with EKG taste off when I first kegged it. Only a week later it tasted fine, especially if I let it warm up a bit. Let me know if you figure this one out!

[/QUOTE]
I googled the horrible flavour and found nothing - LHBS checked some charts, however nothing, and they had never heard of it.
I had MASSIVE CO2 build up - vented it twice a day for a week. It was already in keg for 2 weeks.
It is possible that due to the temperature being very warm here (30Deg C+) the keg did not condition well, and merely needed time. Also prompted me to buy a couple of spunding valves to keep pressure off.
I can drink it now - but would I buy another round of it a pub - unlikely. Just going to struggle through this one. Mishaps make me pay attention to my process.

 

[wide eyed and legless]
