Has not been much of a Winter here yet. Thought I might try & encourage it a bit.
Double brew day today - a Pale Euro Lager followed by a Vienna.
1st mash at 5:30am, should be pitching the 2nd yeast about 2:30PM.

Another mild sunny one by the look of it again today.

Enjoy your brewing,

Just like washing the car brings rain, brewing lagers brings on warmer weather :lol:

7C down here at ATM trying to pluck up enough courage to go down the workshop and put down a batch of Stella Artois clone <_<
 
My attempt at Newguys Scottish 70 that i brewed yesterday, Used a thicker mash than i usually do with this one at 3l per kg. And i got all paranoid halfway through that the mash was too thick so i give it a stir and ended up with 88% eff into the boil kettle (usually 80%) ? WTF i said so now its a Scottish 80 and i bumped the ibu's up to 20. The color into the boil kettle was amazing really rich looking ruby red.

I haven't tried it myself yet but quite a few homebrewers in the US rave about the use of 1026 in an IPA.
There's a recipe on some forums there called Rising Sun JPA which has become a bit of standard and the originator of it says that the beer is never as good for him made with a different yeast...

Sweet sounds good, ive been looking for a bit of redemption with this yeast as I wasnt too happy with the first couple of beers I did with it, maybe this is it B)

Brewed a very nice english IPA (single hop - challenger) using the cask ale yeast, went down well with those who tried it.

Also made a few dry stouts, one of which the SA case swap crew will be sampling in less than a week.

The yeast drops bright, no need for any fining agents.

That looks nice, Rukh. I think the bugs will appreciate all the crystal malts. Where did you get the Roeselare from?

The recipe is JZ's, but with some minor tweaks. The Roeselare comes from our good friends at Craftbrewer.

Now all I need is to convince the wife that we don't need to move anywhere for at least a year... :unsure:
