What are you brewing II ?

[brendanos]

Mmmmm... breakfast stout. If your wife catches you Warren just tell her your keeping your cholesterol in check.

Brewing up a double batch of D Saaz Pale Ale...

I'm sure you're going to like that D Saaz beer. I've made my D Saaz Pale ale and it is a great hop for an APA.

To those of you using D Saaz, are they this years harvest, or from previous years? I approached NZ Hops about getting some a few months back and they told me to go through their distributor Craftbrewer, though Ross doesn't seem to have gotten hold of any yet...

 

[Stuster]

This year's. DJR got them direct I believe. Don't know how, but not complaining.

 

[DJR]

D Saaz was '06 in 100g packets - NZ hops didn't seem to have any problems shipping them to me. Bulk might be a different story.

'07 D saaz flowers should be here next week - The pellets have been slightly delayed due to production issues - not far away though.

cheers Ross

Good stuff. Can definitely recommend the D Saaz - tastes lovely out of the fermenter. Have to get me some S189 too, damn you Ross :lol:

Oh, and to keep it on topic, I've brewed nothing since the BBD (and that is still in a cube).
Hopefully brewing weekend after next.

Anything to derail the Wallabies knocking out the All Blacks AGAIN in the semi's of RWC 2007 :beerbang:

But if they don't get up by at least 20 tonight I might be backing France :unsure:

Going to try a Pale Ale version of Denny Conn's Rye IPA.

i did something kinda simular, just finished brewing DC RYE IPA and thought i'd have a play
added 5 L of boiling water to the mash turn with the leftover grain from the RYE IPA and sparged
6.5L @ 1037 added 5L of water to a unused kettle and 500g of dextrose and boiled added some 60 minute hops and then with 15 miuntes of the boil to go i added the trub from the RYE IPA brew kettle. (assuming the last minute hops i used in that brew will contribute to some flavour in this brew)

ended up with somewhere about 10L @ 1050 pitched some US-56, woke up this morning and its fermenting away merrily and the hop flavour comming from the fermenter is fantastic!!!

i know it's only an extra 10L but it only cost me about $3 extra for the dextrose and about an extra hour time all up.

does anyone else do simular or is it a really hit and miss method?

i'm guessing ibu's on this batch will be pretty random but hey it's an IPA who cares.

looking foward to tasting this monster :super: more so than the tried and tested actual recipe.

Rob.

 

[bugwan]

mmmmmmm........

Nice one

Watch your mash temps - or cheat and add about 5% cane sugar :lol:

Thanks DJR, as it turned out, I missed all my temps!!!

Mashed at around 62-63 (under the target 64), then didn't adjust my infusion temp calcs and hit 66 (instead of 70) for the beta-amylase rest. A bit of boiling water nearly got me there. 10 minutes to go on the boil now, my first Koelsch, but looking forward to it all the same.

Using DJR's Xmas Koelsch recipe.
