A little low on the IBU's isnt it?

Seems a little low for an APA ....first AG brew so still fumbling around

 

[reviled]

Milled the grain for my 1st brew of 2009 last night :beerbang: Really looking forward to it!

Going for something different, and im also messing with my hop additions, counting the 15 as a 30min, and the FO as a 15 min addition due to no chilling, and to make up for lack of aroma by dry hopping...

3.5kg NZ Pale
800g Rye
230g Med Crystal

60 : 12g Nelson Sauvin
15 : 10g Northern Brewer
FO : 15g Fuggles, 13g Nugget, 11g Williamette
Dry hop : 15g Fuggles

Not sure what yeast, got a pack of nottingham I might use cos may not have time to get a 1469 starter going?? Using the Beer recipator puts my figures at OG - 1052 and about 47 IBU's (if my calcs are correct)

 

[Thirsty Boy]

2/3rds of the way through mashing an American wheat

60/40 pale/wheat, OG 1.046 - hopped with Nelson Sauvin and a very light touch of Galaxy. Wyeats 1056 ... supposed to be a crowd pleaser for a non beer geek party

Neigbours are looking at me funny... out in the backyard with brewing gear and on my third beer. I am a night shift worker though, so its after work beers for me... funny how people dont seem to thik you should be downing Coopers red at 7:30 in the morning. :lol:

Big day up here in Happy Rock today

Brewed my 4th and 5th AGs, and now that I know how to actually batch sparge (thanks to Ross) I was hitting my targets left right and centre.

First up was a Robust Porter. All the stars aligned for this one, right on the strike temp, volume and gravity into the boiler spot on, and OG perfect. Its already fermenting with some Nottingham. Efficiency 77%!

2nd was an American IPA. This was a real spur of the moment recipe as I hadnt planned to do 2 brews today. But in it went. Although the targets werent as spot on as the Porter it still turned out great with 25l after boiling but a slightly lower OG leaving me an efficiency of 70%.

All in all, a very tiring yet very satisfying day. And to top it off "February is it" for me too, so I didnt have a beer all day.

Cheers,
Jake

There might be an easier way but I export it as a text file and then paste from that...
Select your recipe(s) and select File-->Export As from the menu.
Change to text, save it wherever and then open it...

There is but IT geeks like to do things the hard way

No need to open the recipe, just highlight it, in the pull down menu above select the text view of the recipe which will then appear in the preview pane below, simply highlight, right click and select copy. Paste this into your post, edit if you want, then you can highlight it and place the text in quotes using the tool on the menu (the text bubble ) above the open post window.

I should add that if you're being a real geek and running Beersmith in Linux with WINE, then Screwy's method doesn't seem to work. I use the same method as bconnery above, which will henceforth be known as the "Ben Method".

[Ronin]

Warra, I'm a Geordie myself and have been wanting to try a Newcastle Brown lookalike for ages, and discovered that since the 1920s they have used Northdown hops and also, surprise surprise, import Hallertau Hops from Germany.

Hallertau
Northdown
Northern Brewer
Target

I expect they had to ditch the Hallertau during the recent stoush with Herr Hitler but all friends again now

I'd love to hear how the Yorkie yeast goes in it. Newcastle beer was always very attached to Scottish Brewing traditions but I've got some 1469 breeding up nicely at the moment and would certainly give it a go myself ( Brisbane club mini comp in May is Northern style brown so I'm keen to hear how you go)

Cheers
Michael

PS stayed at Port last week for 2 nights, very impressed. Nice Squire on tap at the Town Common (?) pub and sank numerous porters.

I just kegged a brown ale that I brewed with 1469...

3.33 kg Pale Malt, Maris Otter (Thomas Fawcett) (5.6 EBC) Grain 82.00 %
0.24 kg Crystal Malt - Medium (Bairds) (140.0 EBC) Grain 6.00 %
0.16 kg Amber Malt (Bairds (85.0 EBC) Grain 4.00 %
0.08 kg Chocolate Malt (Bairds) (1130.0 EBC) Grain 2.00 %
0.24 kg Dememera Sugar (3.9 EBC) Sugar 6%

27IBU with EKG, O.G. 1.044, F.G. 1.012.

It's a recipe I've fermented with 1028 a few times and works well, this time it was so much maltier and nuttier. I think more hops are called for next time, 1469 really suppresses any hop character.
