From our BIAB brewday yesterday attended by Northsiders. Bloody Bruce Highway roadworks but they got here eventually in time for beers.

Classic Queensland Draught (Bulimba Style)

4kg Galaxy Pilsener
500g rice
500 da sugaz (into fermenter)

32g POR flowers 90 mins.
Wyeast California Lager (steam beer) yeast 17 degrees


The EBC of the Galaxy was more like water than wort and we 'rescued' it with 200g Carared steeped and runnings added to boil
By common consent, 3 Plugs of Saaz 10 minutes why not.

Using up some freebies and extras to turn out a winter warmer for a few years time. Won't have enough roast character (I think) to be classified as an imperial stout, perhaps its an imperial baltic porter...

Coopers IPA kit
Muntons barleywine kit
Cascade porter kit
1kg dark dme
1kg morgans roasted malt LME

OG of 1104 at 20L. Threw some 1272 slurry at it with a sachet of US-05 to eke out a couple of extra attenuation points and a couple of the coopers kit yeasts to build up the numbers.

Thinking of throwing in a kilo of dark sugar in a few days time to push the alcohol content into the 12-13% ballpark, not too sure about this though. Might keep an eye on attenuation and see where it ends up (I'm guessing an FG of around 1030).

I imagine this will taste rubbish for the next couple of years, I might save the first tastings for my 25th (just less than two years away now!) to see how it goes. It should be fairly bitter from the three kits, so it'll need some time to smooth out

Looks tasty Tony... Is this your first use of Special B? Oddly enough I've used some for some English Beers (bitter and mild). Tastes promising. Similar to Cara Aroma but more complex and plum/berry like. Seems to work well with Bramling X hops.

[Tony]

yeah mate, first go with it. When i chew it i can definatly pick up the dark fruit/sweetness that caraaroma lacks.

I cant wait to drop a heap of it in a double with my bottle of D2 i have had sitting here for ages.

Anyone have any experience using the 3724 Belgian Saison yeast? Any tips?

 

[warrenlw63]

Yep keep it as close to 30 degrees as you can... Be patient because it will take about a month to finish.

The wort has very little krausen. Looks very milky or even like orange juice for a long time then just suddenly drops bright when you're about to give up hope.

Worth it in the end though.

[Tony]

Awsome, thanks mate.

I will be back in PNG for 2 1/2 weeks as of next week so when i get back it should be close.

May have to knock up a no chill stout to chuck on the yeast cake. I dont know how may times i have planned that, it will happen eventually!

cheers

looks good les cnt wait to hear how close you got it.

 

[Weizguy]

looks good les cnt wait to hear how close you got it.

I admit that I based this recipe on a clone from BYO magazine's chocolate beer clone issue (Dec 2007).
Why overthink when someone has done most of the work? Certainly a good starting point.
Also added 1 tsp Calcium Chloride, for the required minerality.

They also have a recipe for Sinebrychoff porter, Alaskan smoked porter, and Rogue Shakespeare stout. They might all get a run in the next few months.

I plan to have a Halloween tasting of the Hobgoblin if it turns out well. Will have a buy an appropriate shirt for the occasion
