What are you brewing II ?

[Doc]

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.

Fantastic Rukh.

Sounds like that slug of yeast is doing you well. Did you start the ferment lower and let it work up to 27degC ?

Double brewday last weekend - Vienna & a Bock.
After doing a stocktake this weekend I can see a 'Bitsa' Imperial Stout coming on.

Rgds,
Peter

Hey Doc,

That slug of yeast is just what the doctor ordered!

I pitched it at 28 degrees because I figured (aka "hoped") that a relatively low air temp in the kitchen would help keep the wort fermentation temp under control.

I've been right so far, however a bit more temperature would be nice because Saison Dupont is brewed at about 35 degrees celcius and there are other advocates of a higher temp out there-

Yesterday brewed "Angry sea bitter". Mostly MO, with a touch of cara aroma, and 100g dark xtal. The cara aroma adds a nice colour. All challenger hops, love them. Going to use west yorkshire ale yeast.

 

[kook]

Just doughed in a pseduo kolsch. First brew at my new house. So convenient being able to put the HLT on timer, wake up and just dough in.

The brew is actually for SWMBO's Dad, but if it goes down well I'll do a 50 litre batch for our wedding.

 

[warrenlw63]

Up early tomorrow morning to do this one. A bastardised version of Kong's Hackney Bitter. Many thanks to The Drunk Arab for the TTL yeast. :beerbang:

[Stuster]

Looks good, Warren. Is this your first time with the West Yorkshire yeast? I'm interested in how it compares to the Ringworm yeast?

 

[warrenlw63]

Yeah, first time Stuster. Seems to be firing nicely when I'm stepping it up in starters. Settles like the proverbial brick on the bottom too. :blink:

Love Ringwood but I'm proably guilty of over-use the last couple of years. Be nice to try another strain. I'll probably go some London III up the track too.

[Trough Lolly]

Heading downstairs to the cellar to weigh in the grains for a Dortmunder tonight - 3 x 1.25L pet bottles of Wyeast 2000 starter are working up nicely in the garage...My recipe is in the recipe section, oddly enough!
Cheers,

Hopefully it'll be big and juicy.
Any comments on the hop schedule are welcome.
I'm just trying to get rid of excess nugget and cascade.

 

[Weizguy]

Just pitched a Pack of Wyeast W3638 (Bavarian Weizen aka "Schneider") into 25 litres of 1.048 gravity wort.
Keeping it warm on a heat mat at about 21 C. The no-chill jerry sat there since about 10 PM last night to be at ideal (roughly, anyway) pitching temp. Room temp is about 16 C today.

The gravity is a bit low for a Schneider clone, but the recipe didn't allow for my low efficiency on this one.

Watchagonnado? I'll allow for lower efficiency next time, OK?

Colour and flavour are still good for the style/ clone/ copy.

[boingk]

Some very good sounding recipes going around! I've got a Heineken going [in the recipes forum somewhere], and am going to do a Toucan Lager of some sort next week....possibly using leftover cascade and/or tettnanger hoppping.

Will brew a Dunkel Weizen tommorow now that i got the taste for it
