Woops.... in converting this one, I forgot to halve the hop amounts for a single batch... Even I was wondering don't worry. Rule number 1, don't convert recipes after a 4 pack of La Trappe Quadrupel... :blink:

An english IPA is on my to do list. I love the simplicity. Is this a regular Screwy?
 
No..... for starters i catch the trickle that still comes out of the mash tun for 1/2 hr after you finnish sparging.

I get a couple of liters at 1.020, boil it down for 20 min and chill.

Free starters.

Do you know how many years i paid for dry malt extract and threw my free starters in the bin or gargen with the grain!

good luck with your first brew mate.

cheers

[slaps forehead] Thanks Tony, that's a good tip.

cheers

AG#6 - Starting 09 with an ordinary english bitter. Brewed on Saturday, no chilled and pitched yeast Sunday night. Bubbling away happily when I got home from work last night.

Started a yeast library from the NSW Xmas case swap and this is the first time I've then started one up and used it. Thanks Gulpa this is the WY1968 from your IPA. By my calculations actual efficiency was 77%, hit 1.040 instead of the 1.036 I was aiming for.

Denny Con's Rye IPA

Love a post night shift mid week brew - 8:30am and the mash is more than half done... all going well I should be showered and in bed by lunchtime.

This might be my last brew on the plastic fantastic braid based mash tun - I'm trading it in for a false bottom/converted keg MT in order to get better flow rates through my RIMS.... except that today the damn braid is working perfectly. Oh well, at least everything in my brewery will be nice solid metal now.

If have just added 50g of Horizon to the fermenter of APA I brewed the other day (recipe below). I am only fermenting 20l atm. It was @ 1010 and tasting nice but didn't have the strong aroma I was after. I will leave it for a few more days than crash chill into the keg.

Kabooby :)

Hey Katie,

5% munich 1
5% wheat malt

amarillo only for bittering to about 15-17 ibu

mash 65

kolsch yeast

Uuumm, no Klsch with Amarillo. I believe that Amarillo will overpower the subtle maltiness, even if hopped sparingly.

It'll be good to hear the feedback on this style experiment.

As for me, I've just milled 6-odd kilos of grain for a 25l batch of Roggenbier.
Just about to mash in at 68C, after I cool down a bit after the (hand) milling.
 
I told you you would want a motor on that beast.

I only hand cranked twice with mine. Went and bought pullys!

cheers
