Holy crap Tony!! Just out of curiousity (for no other reason) how much wort did you lose in the hop cone ?? :eek:

Or were you tempted to press them for an extra 4-6 litres of very hoppy wort? :D

Warren -

About to find out mate. Fermenter ect is steralising now.

The break has settled 2 inches under the surface of 46 liters which has me a bit worried. It was thick with hops..... like thick soup!

Im going to drain it slowly and expect to loose a couple of liters. Thats life!

F#$k me it smells good though. Bugger the expense :)

cheers
 
360 gms hops > brown snake re reaction, I love home brewing :D
 
took photos as it drained.

I ended up with 45 liters in the fermenter and the hops were exposed after 25 liters drained. Hit target gravity so about 78% efficiency to the fermenter. Not bad for a big beer with all those hops!

They are 6 to 8 inches deep in the drained kettle.

cheers
 
Finished work early for hopefully a double brew day.
I have no idea about what goes in Jever other than that it is around 45 IBU and very very tasty.

I don't normally do an aroma addition but I think it is suitable for this beer.

So I am sticking to something close to my standard german pils grain bill, although I've dropped back the munich a little, and I'm kind of following the Zwickel mash.

Be very interested to know how that works out, Mr Connery. NS and a Saison yeast. Hmm. Thinking outside the box for sure. :beerbang:
 
That sounds real good Ben, I might do a double B-Saaz addition in the next one on a Farmhouse slurry :)

I don't know if it will but there were two reasons, three if you count wanting to use up the last of the packet...
One is that there is something in the character of NS to me that says it just might, that wine like aspect.
The other is I just love Nelson Sauvin...

Time will tell...

Winkle, I think B Saaz would go great. That lemony citrus character would come through well in a lighter colour type saison I think.

Gotta be better than that Bridge Roads stuff we tasted. :icon_drool2:

Dare I say brew without them? Although I have some 800g to spare if you can't wait until then...

The addition times are a test.
I'll review your answers tomorrow :)
Or, beersmith export cuts them off because of the long hop name, you choose :)
 
Yeah I normally brew without them - did so on Monday and got a stuck sparge with... 3 kilos of grain!!! In went the last of the hulls and I was (un)set.

Tonight was my only chance to brew until the weekend, thanks for the offer though. Where abouts are you anyway Ben?
 
Family is still away so brewed up my beer for the QLD case swap.
The latest in my run of belgian ales with Rangpur Lime, or Sour Orange.
The last one of these was my favourite so far so I hope this one comes somewhere near that, with the tinkering I have done...

I'm using the remainder of my saison starter with some t58.
I'm hoping I'll get a little of both but if as I expect the t58 dominates it won't be the end of the world.

Just mashed in a pale roggenbier, based on craigm's beer from a few case swaps back:

47% Wey Pils
25% JW Wheat
25% Rye
3% Carawheat
mashed at 66 to 1.045
11 IBUs of Hal Mit at 60min
1/2 g/l Hal Mit at 15min
Danstar Munich Wheat yeast
 
Tomorrow's brew... Named because it's around half my regular batch size. B)

This will be the first time I'm using dark candi syrup. Should be interesting.

Looking good warren, hankering to sample that drop. I was going to do the same but will be doing a version of DrSmurto's Golden Ale today because I want to have plenty of beer flowing for the coming warm weather.
