tell you what though it has a lovely aroma. im going to enjoy this one.
 
It is 44degC in my backyard.
And I'm out in it brewing a triple batch (60+ litres) of Roggenbier. Just started the sparge.
Am I the only nutter in Sydney brewing today ?

Doc

Sparging a triple batch of roggenbier, on a f###in' hot day, in the hottest part of the day...
Are you a masochist, or is that about making thirsty work?
 
Doc...... your mad!

Im brewing in my garage with the door open letting cold air from the house trickle in and a fan blowing.

Ordered some TF Floor malted MO from Ross..... just 5kg to try, and it turned up cracked <_< but vac packed. Opened my malt store today and found the bag had done its seal so the Aussie ale i had planned has been put down with 100% Floor malted MO.

Bit pissed off as i wanted to do a bitter but i have no english yeast so Aussie ale on some Nottingham thats eating an Alt will have to do it.

Simple recipe:

**** doc if i had of know i would of come to watch :D
 
Doc..... you could turn on the sprinkler and run through it in your undies while you brew. Id love to know what the neighbours think :)

cheers
 
I recon Wyeast 1272 American Ale II would work great in the above beer!

It ***** all over US-05.

I like US-05 and keep it in my fridge as a "oh **** the yeast is dead" backup but the 1272 is a great yeast.

Not quite as dry and a touch more character. Perfect for a Rye IPA!

cheers

Just as an interesting side note. I split a simple Pale Ale batch and pitched US-05 against WY1272, sat the fermentors side by side and tried to keep it as alike as I could. Bottled, left the same time before drinking. I had just marked the bottles with a 1 and 2, so relatively blind taste testing, checked my notes and I preferred the 1272. Took a bunch of bottles along to the brewers meeting, true blind taste test, pretty much everyone picked a difference between the two and voted for US-05 over 1272. So there ya go, take what you will away from that little test.....but I'm still using 1272.
 
Well the temp has dropped 15degC and it is all now heavy rain and thunderstorms.
Thought I lived in Sydney not Melbourne :p

Boil is going great. The Roggenbier smells awesome. Same recipe that scored me some winners in the comps last year.

Doc
 
Well you can turn the sprinkler off and put your shirt back on mate :)
 
I'm having to tie everything down.
Massive winds. Super heavy rain (almost hail).
Was just about to do the first hop addition, and I was assessing the situation. Thought, there have been 4-5 storms like this recently with nothing in them. Pass really quickly. THe alternative was to stop the boil before the first hop addition, then fire it back up tomorrow.
Looked like things were dying down, so pitched the 60 min hop addition, then POW all hell broke loose. Lightening, massive rain swirling winds.

Knew I should have brewed this morning and taken the kids to the movies this arvo. Instead I did it the other way round.

Oh well, riding it out.

Doc
 
Mate its days like that that make the beers great!

What direction is it heading?

North?

cheers
 
Yep, it is coming North.
