Cheers :icon_cheers:

I have tried Doc's version of this and it turned out awesome. You'll love it.

As an aside, guess who came up a couple of litres short yesterday when brewing this recipe yesterday? <_< If you are used to brewing with around 5kg of grain, then don't forget that the extra couple of kg's of grain soak up more water in the mash. Also keep an eye on your transfer from the mash tun as you might lose another couple of litres of malt if the hose slips out of the kettle. And if your water wort levels are low, then you should definitely avoid substituting plugs into the recipe at the last minute. I'm sure that it will be fine...

 

[fraser_john]

Yeast not correct, but did not have correct one on hand.....will see how it turns out, will be fermenting at 12c.

This got its name because a dirty big European Wasp kept hovering around the runoff to the kettle. I hates wasps.

[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)

Does anyone know what yeast would work well with this Rye IPA? Im thinking Nottingham cos its an english yeast but im not sure? Any ideas??

This was my first chilled batch in a while. I was paranoid so soaked my kettle and chiller in iodorphor before running it into my fermenter. Used the hot water coming out of my immersion chiller to fill the HLT for a Rye IPA and planned to fill 2 cubes.

I guess I needed to allow for more wort to be lost in the hops as the 2nd cube was a little shy of full. Was awesome to see a green kettle though! Herms system worked very well too, rye had no effect at the amount used.

Rye proter is at high Krausen, so looking ok B)

 

[petesbrew]

Jazza, now THAT is a hopbill!

What am I brewing? Nothing right now. Got 1/2 sack of grain, specialty grains, 2 kits & extract, hops and a good yeast bank, but I'm lacking a brewery right now. Once the garage front is resorted and a workbench built, I'll be back in form, and the cooler weather should be arriving.

For the moment, I'm getting dangerously low on stocks (especially after a bottle bomb last month). I'm even having to go back to sharing bottles of wine!

Back on track, I reckon my first one back will be a APA.
Cheers Pete

I'm not actually brewing anything just atm, but as an interesting addition to this thread (or maybe a new thread entirely) how about a "show us your krausen" with a picture of your full krausen?

it may be a complete woftam but we could all strive for the biggest, thickest and yummy looking krausen possible??

Next brew day for me is Saturday week so I'll post in a picture then...
