What are you brewing II ?

[schooey]

Hahahhaahaha.... I love this hobby!

Doing my Pliny clone today...at FWH time, the garage filled with hop aromas and I thought mmmmmmmm... At the 90 min additions, the whole house filled with hop aroma and the missus came down and said "What are you brewing?", at the 30 min additions the whole neighbourhood smelt of hop aroma and the old bloke ten houses up wandered down for a beer....

How's the serenity?

First ever double batch.

First time using the TF floor malted MO.

2 x 20L of Landlord done - 1 x 1275, 1 x 1187. (they were there and i didnt get around to getting a 1469 starter going....)

Was a close call but the 50L keggle had room for a few more drops i reckon.....

Good to have Phillip around to help out and listen to my inane banter on brewing.

Like the sound of this side-by-side DrS.
Keen to here how it goes with the 1187 - I plan to put this yeast and 1469 into a split-batch Landlord Clone over the coming months.
Let us know how it goes...

Just about finished the boil on my 'Groaning Ale' (Old Ale). Forgot that I was going to make a bit less to be sure it all fit in the esky mash tun and ended up collecting enough wort for a standard 22L batch. Ended up doing a 120 min boil to get it back to the 18L into the fermenter I wanted! Longest brew I've done by far!

I remember brewing my Choke a apom IPA with like 600g in a 25 liter batch or something.

My wifes Ex turned up to see the kids and couldnt stand the smell so he left.

We actually get along and he stays here to see his son now and then........ kids come first!!!

But it was the first time the massive smell from hps has driven visitors away

The wife complaned the smell got in the washing out in the back yard!

Love it.

What a ****** of a day and I am very annoyed :angry:

This is the second time I have lost 10+ kg of wheat malt to burning First time was 10kg of 100% wheat that burnt in the mash by getting stuck under the FB while I was heating with direct fire. BUT today totally caught me off guard... burnt in the kettle! The mash run off was cloudy but I thought thats ok its 100% wheat. However it turns out all those little particles sunk and stuck to the bottom of the kettle... where they proceeded to burn. The whole thing smelt like an ash tray within 10 mins so I stopped the boil and just dumped it, 27L of 1.090 wort (plus some simcoe hops ) down the drain.

May give the Wheatwine another go tomorrow but with 20% malt so the sparge can be recirculated until clear and reduce the amount of wheat sediment getting into the kettle.

To top it off Im out of PBW to clean the kettle <_<

Why compromise the ideal beer? Rice gulls.

That should be OK with the most pyromaniacal of LPG burners.

 

[BEC26]

Sadly, nothing at the moment . . .too bloody hot for when it goes into the fermenter (35+ the last week or so)

Oh t have a fermenting fridge, or a 100 can coler lol

Enthused by previous success with a hefeweizen, going to do it again. But, I just can't leave well enough alone, so there's some extras this time.

38L batch

5kg JWM wheat
1.7 pils
1.7 Vienna
.5kg Caramunich
80g Carafa III

25g Northern Brewer @ 60
15g Cascade @ 5

Wyeast 3068.

I figured with the 3068 throwing enough fruit that the late Cascade addition will complement, and I'm on a bit of a Carafa III jag at the moment.
Not going to please a BJCP judge, but this beer is for me.

Put down my 2nd AG yesterday. Bit of an improvised recipe of malt and hops I had lying around, in a vain attempt to make a hoppy Belgian blond of sorts.
A few firsts for me...first time using Summer Saaz and B Saaz, first time using my new rig, first time using FWH additions, first time using my new grain mill.

Belgian Blond
3.0kg Joe White Pilsner
1.5kg Wheat Malt
0.5kg Weyermann Carapils
0.25kg Caramalt (40-60ebc)
1.0kg White sugar

10g Summer Saaz pellets - (Aus 08 4.7%AA) - FWH
10g Motueka (B Saaz) pellets (NZ 08 7.1%AA) - FWH
10g Summer Saaz pellets - (Aus 08 4.7%AA) - 15 min
10g Motueka (B Saaz) pellets (NZ 08 7.1%AA) - 15 min
10g Summer Saaz pellets - (Aus 08 4.7%AA) - 0 min
10g Motueka (B Saaz) pellets (NZ 08 7.1%AA) - 0 min
