Mmm, grapefruit. Oh, I hear the call of the timer for the next hop addition. must run.
Got the gravity close prior to the boil... should be good. I ensured that my sparge water didn't get over 80C to avoid massive astringency from the dark grain, as has happened in the past.
 
Was attempting a knk schwarzbier but my WLP029 Starter didn't take.

Easter Dark Ale
Coopers Dark Ale
1.5kg LLME
100g Choc Malt
65g Roast Malt
32g B-Saaz @ 60min
8g Pacific Hallertau @ 60min
13g Pacific Hallertau @ 20min
12g Pacific Hallertau @ 0min

Split between 2 fermenters, with Whitbread 1099 and WLP500 Trappist for comparison.
 
Today I brewed a weizen

50% wheat malt
50% pilsner

mash:
43c - 20 min
66c 60 min
20 min Decoction 5L
75c 10 min

In pot = 32L @ 13brix

90 min boil

40g 4.5% Hallertau 60min
tab Whirlfloc 10m

Pitch 25c
Ferment at 17c
(I know about the 30 rule but cant get my liquid to 12c I only have a copper immersion coil running with tap water through it. It gets to 25 or so, and thats about it.


I have a compressed c5s1 spinal joint so I have constructed a pulley system to let me move the porridge from water cooler mashtun to my 50L stainless pot with my 4 ring burner to hit required step temps used the same pot to boil decoction.

Interesting, if not overly complicated but with a few of Docs yard glass session lights o hand, its been a great brew day.

Had a few guests over the past couple of weeks so I'm all out. Decided on the following English Ale due to available ingredients more than anything.

45L batch:

9kg Barrett Burston Ale
0.5kg Crystal
0.5kg Chocolate Malt

40g Fuggles @ 60
30g EKG @ 20
50g EKG @ 10

No chill into the fermenters.

Yeast will be Proculture 10 which appears to be a 1056 or WLP001. Not to style but neutral enough to be masked by the hops.

Next weekend will be a weizen...
 
Stealin' this one 4star! Cheers Mate!

No worries chappo! Interested to-do a bottle swap when shes done?? I'll post 1 up in a aus post wine box if interested?!?!

She looked great going into the NC cube, golden/copper. when my mild is done, she will be hittin the cake post-haste!

Cheers! :icon_cheers:
 
Had a session on this at Ironhouse Pt. over Easter so this is first attempt at a clone of their APA which was a excellent beer, not sure how close this will be but a reasonable guess after much discussion on identifying ingredients

Have just finished breakfast after mashing in a kolsch and Belgian pale ale. Life is good.
 
My take on a Hunter Old. May have to change the yeast though as my old smack pack of Wy 1762 is a bit slow on the blowing up phase. <_< Was hoping to build up a big enough slurry for a copy of TDA's Flyblown Blonde and just fermenting the Old on the low end of the temp scale. Contingency yeast (for the Old) could be Wyeast 1098. :rolleyes:

Just started the boil on an APA. Mainly Centennial and Cascade, with possibly a plug or two or Cascade to dry hop.

I might just start a sneaky second batch later on. Historic porter. :)

Hey Stu are you planning to do the equal parts pale, amber & brown malt on this one? If you do let me know how it all goes. It's something I've been entertaining for years but have been worried about it all converting. :)

Would love to, but after checking my grain supplies I don't have enough brown and amber. It's more or less the same recipe I did a couple of years back but with a different strain of brett (and a couple of grain choices based on trying to finish up various things :p ).

Going to use nottingham for 23lts and cube the other and use uso5 the other 23lts to compare favours
 
The ABA looks good. Brewed an Aussie Brown Dog ale (based on a ABA) and a not ordinary bitter this morning. Ground the malt for foreign extra and dry Irish stouts for Friday. Will bottle a sthern brown tomorrow and will use the WLP004 yeast from this for the stouts. The lawn needs a mow but its not going anywhere.
 
Just finished brewing the foreign extra and Irish stouts. It is a beautiful day.
 
Just cubed Ross's NS summer ale. No changes made. I wanted to try out my new esky MLT. Wound up with 76% efficiency... not to bad for the first use of the tun. Will ferment it with craftbrewers 1056 when a fermenter becomes available.

Cheers
Gavo.
