What are you brewing II ?

[Thirsty Boy]

Just cubed up a what will hopefully be a nice Munich Helles - first brew through the new RIMS unit.

Worked well but a few little niggles to sort out.

If only my damn yeast pack would swell... 24hrs days and no action. grrr

 

[Tony]

Added 50g od French Vanilla coffee beans and about 10g of EKG at flame out for the hell of it

God it smells great!

cheers

Testify Bro Tony.
It is written that if you wave a red flag at a bull, he can't help but have a dig, due to the spelling error, and so you have doubled my smile, and allowed me to use many commas, including an Oxford one.
It is good to be alive. Can you save me a jar of that aroma. That would make a tasty splash-on Cologne.

Lez out

 

[hayden]

well i decieded to try a step further away from the kits, i bought a coopers australian pale ale kit but used a malt kit rather than sugar so ill see how that turns out for me.

 

[Tony]

Will save you a bottle Les, if i dont have to tip it out

Brewing another today, an IPA this time.

Sounds like that fall you had in Melbourne has caused long term brain damage young Les. :icon_offtopic:

Alternatively, I picture Les, with his splashed on beer cologne, having his body licked by nubile beer wenches ............

thought too sickening even for me to continue.


On brewing matters, my new brew is a simple APA with lots of chinook and liberty, just to see if the use of sodium met in the water means it was the water and nor just me

As you have noticed there is plenty of chlorine in the water. I found in the past this can lead to chlorophenols in the beer, and that the problem was most evident in beers using cascade.

Same problem here at Tuross - thrown out five brews before working out it was the water.

Tony,

Have I missed something in all the threads on AHB about 'Pilgrin' hops?

Or is it along the lines of the Rice Gulls?

 

[Tony]

Most definatly a close relation to a rice gull mate

Thanks for picking that up, will corect it in promash.

cheers

Edit: You dont have a brother named "Les" by any chance do you?

Made this for my neighbour today as he was going to buy a fresh wort kit from LHBS but asked "will it be as red and malty as the one you made not long ago?" No, Ok I will make you one and split the cost and bottle it for Xmas. Never tried Caraaroma before though, on Ross's advice in it goes, smells great

Virtually everything on tap seems to be over 6%, so I better brew a simple weizen tomorrow.

2.5kg BB wheat malt
2.5kg BB Pale Pils malt

16gm NZ Hallertau 60 min
1 plug Tettnanger 15 min
1 frozen banana 15 min

WB-06

Might be ready in time for the swap Batz

 

[NickB]

Looks tasty Perry. Might have to pinch that recipe and put down a nice quick brew. Will use Danstar Munich though. What temp you fermenting at mate?

Cheers
