I just finished brewing the following Saison-

22 litres
Original Gravity: 1.060 (1.048 - 1.065)
Terminal Gravity: 1.008 (1.002 - 1.012)
Color: 5.55 (5.0 - 14.0)
Alcohol: 6.73% (5.0% - 7.0%)
Bitterness: 30.0 (20.0 - 35.0)

Ingredients:
4.8 kg Pilsner Malt
.34 kg Wheat Malt Pale (Organic)
.34 kg Munich TYPE I
.06 kg Caramunich TYPE I
.45 kg Invert Sugar (how good does Lyles syrup taste?!)
.10 kg White Table Sugar (Sucrose)

35.0 g Hallertau Tradition (5.7%) - added during boil, boiled 60.0 min
21 g Hallertau Tradition (5.7%) - flameout

Wyeast 3726 Farmhouse Ale.

How did you find the 3726? about to use one for a saison. what temp did you ferment at what what flavours did the yeast impart?
Cheers
 
I'm showing Half-fix how a batch of UXB is done, with a bit of luck it'll be more successful that the AG demo I did with NickB :rolleyes: . Note to self - no drinking until after mashing. ;)

Mashed at 67C, mashout at 75C, Sparge at 78C. Ferment at 18C

Santa's gonna have the wobbly boot on this year ... :D
 
English clone weekend for me

Left work a few hours early Friday so whipped up a batch of Deuchars IPA (wyeast 1187)

Saturday i churned out a batch of Ruddles County (wyeast 1275)

The 1275 has thrown a krausen like i have never seen before from an english ale yeast, its more impressive even than 1007.

23L in a 30+L fermenter and 24h after pitching its spewing out of the airlock all over the wall behind it. Its at 20C. The deuchars has a normal 2 inch krausen as it as the same temp.

For both of them i started with a prop pack, made a 3L starter, fermented out, chilled o/n, poured off the liquid and then saved 50mL of the slurry for 'ron and pitched the remaining.

I wouldnt say i aerate excessively. Comes out of the chiller and drops into the fermenter from the lid height.

Is 1275 normally this vigorous?
 
Put this one down on Saturday.
The malt quantities are a bit funny, as I scaled one of my previous recipes down to 19 litres, but ended up with 19.5 litres into the fermenter.

Not exactly beer (not at all in fact) but something that might be of interest to some. Bottling this tonight for Xmas night this year.

Plum Pudding Vodka

Ingredients
1 bottle (about 700ml) vodka
250g dark brown sugar
100g mixed peel
250g sultanas
150g raisins
Grated rind and juice of 1 orange
1 tsp almond essence
6 cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
2 vanilla beans, split, seeds scraped
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp mixed spice

Method
To prepare the vodka, place all ingredients in a large bowl and cover well with plastic wrap (reserve the vodka bottle and cap). Set aside in a cool place for 1 week, stirring once a day. Strain the contents through a very fine sieve, pressing down well to extract all the liquid. Pour liquid back into the vodka bottle and screw the cap on tightly. Store in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.

We've made this before in our household, or something similar. Very tasty. We kept ours on the ingredients for 3 weeks.
Then you can mix the leftover vodka infused fruit into some slightly melted ice-cream and refreeze...

Yeast Saflager S-23 2 x 11g
-----

Single step infusion mash at 65C, mash out at 76C, sparged at 78C. Also chucked in 40g of POR flowers at flame out that I had left over from a fair while ago, but they smelt ok. Fermenting now at 14C. Gonna see where the SG is in a week, then hopefully lower the temp down to 4 or 5 or maybe lower depending. Whatever it is on Saturday the 20th, it's going into a 50L keg with a teaspoon or two of gelatin and will sit on the gas at 200kPa till the 23rd and they can drink it whether it's any good or not..... I doubt they'll know the difference anyway :p

Make sure you ferment that in the right temp range, last time I used Ardennes I fermented too cool by about 2 degrees and it was missing a boat load of flavours :( 44 litres of dubbel that was not quite a dubble

I hear you John, Wazza gave me the word on this last week. Pitched at 21c and have slowly bought it up to 25 - 26c over the week. Sample taste was excellent.

That warm, I fermented at 21, so I was way out of line, was certainly missing those esters and higher ethanols!
