What are you brewing II ?

[hughman666]

just weighed up the grain bill for the following. it's different to how i normally do my APAs which are a 60/40 split in favour of the JW Trad Ale, but i've finished up my current sack with this bill. i'll be doing this one tomorrow:

3kg JW Exp Pils
2kg JW Trad Ale
0.250 JW Wheat

mash at 66c for 80 mins

90 minute boil

60 mins 16g Chinook
20 mins 14g cascade
15 mins 14g cascade
10 mins 28g cascade
5 mins 10g chinook

us56

i'm expecting this to come out a bit lighter in colour due to the reversal of the pils/ale in the grain bill. should be interesting...

 

[ale_snail]

ive got an amber ale bubbling away nicely as we speak

judging by the colour through the fermenter it looks really nice

Time to brew a stout.
I have made an oatmeal stout the last few years and feel it is time to brew a dry stout.

Can anyone point me to any good recipes or maybe something they have brewed themselves?

cheers

Try Tidal Pete he makes a cracker of a dry stout, might be willing to share the recipe.

Thanks Screwtop. But I realised last night I had no flaked barley.

Stone's Ruination Ale clone Mk II

Thanks to the gift of the correct varieties of hops (Magnum and Centennial) from Ross, I am having another go at this beer.

The first version with Chinook and Cascade was very popular at Trent's Oz wedding, and he promptly named it "Punch in the Face", due to the big hop hit.

0.51 kg Caramalt (Joe White) (49.3 EBC) Grain 6.3 %

80.00 gm Centennial [10.00%] (Dry Hop 5 days) Hops -
1.00 items Whirlfloc Tablet (Boil 15.0 min)

The stats:
Batch size - 25 litres
Single infusion at 65 C for 60 min
Estimated Color: 13.5 EBC

Cheers, Ross. There will be a couple of bottles on their way at the appropriate time.

Hi Seth,

Just 75gm of Magnum gave me over 100 IBU's in a similar sized batch :unsure: as Ruination should only be bittered with Magnum & finished with Centeenial - That saying, really looking forward to trying it & seeing what difference it makes. :super:

Cheers Ross

18L OG 1053
3.5kg Bairds GP malt
0.5kg IMC munich
60min mash at 67degC

IBU 31
23gm Fuggles 60min
23gm EKG 30min
23gm Styrian Goldings flame out

Burtonised the water with gypsum, epsom salts and chalk

Trialled the new chiller setup - using the heat exchange part of my HERMS as a chiller. Without turning on the chillout, dropped from boiling to 30deg in about 5mins!

Yeast -Nottingham - 18 degC

Fermenter - shallow open (with lid but not air locked)

Oops, Ross.

I just checked and my Beersmith is using the Garetz calculation, which has worked well for me in the past.
I changed it to the Rager calc.

Hmmm, there's a big difference between 105 IBUs (which is why I added the extra Centennial, as the recipe states) and 189 IBU, per Rager.

No prob either way, I suppose, as humans cannot taste bitterness in excess of 100 IBU (I'm told).

This will make it interesting...pm coming your way, Ross.

Seth out

(* time for me to check out the Bitterness calculation thread, I think)

 

[glennheinzel]

Winter saison.

Missed predicted OG as I got 1.075. Pitched the yeast 22 hours ago and it has already dropped to 1.49. Keeping it at 27 degrees celcius will help the fermentation! Hopefully it will run its course by the time my wife gets sick of the smell...

PS. I'm looking forward to using a bigger brew pot so that I get better hop utilisation.
