What are you brewing II ?

[Thommo]

I have finally found some brew time.

Doing a double brew day, possible get three away if I play my cards right.

Sparging a Weizen at the moment, 50/50 galaxy and wheat, 13 IBU with spalt, 3068 yeast and 1052 SG.

Following that up with an alt, and if I have time, a bitter or Aussie Ale. Probably go with the Aussie ale.

Good day for it in Sydney at the moment too.

Thommo.

And a very laid back brewday it was too. Thanks for having me and was great to meet your family and Bunyip and his family. Thanks for having me :beer: !

Would like to see the recipe for that Dark Ale of yours, cracking beer that was.

[brendanos]

Berliner Weiss' - 3 worts from 4 gyles @ 1.031, 1.039 (blend of two kettles and sterile water) & 1.035 (unboiled), first bac(teria) off the rank!

 

[Stuster]

Interesting, brendanos. Good idea to try a portion unboiled. I've been meaning to get round to using the Wyeast BW blend I have in the fridge. Was going to do two batches with different runnings but I think you've inspired me to split the second runnings into two now and not boil half of it. Did you mash hop? Which runnings gave you which mix?

Was going to do two batches with different runnings but I think you've inspired me to split the second runnings into two now and not boil half of it. Did you mash hop? Which runnings gave you which mix?

Yep mash hopped with 30 minutes remaining (2 hour mash at 64C) and immediately before mashing out at 80C (20g hallertau hersbrucker 2.2% each addition). The blending was a bit tricky - first runnings were run into big kettle til runoff hit 1.030 (collected approx 28L @ 1.055), then diverted to the fermenter for ~ 15L, then back to top up the main kettle. The final runnings were run into a smaller kettle for a seperate boil. ~5L of the main kettle was used to top up the no-boil to 20L for gravity of 1.035.

Post boil - I had 29L @ 1.039 and 9L @ 1.020, filled a small fermenter (13L) with 1.039, then blended the other two with some sterile water to get 25L @ 1.031.

I pitched lacto in all three, ale yeast in two (will wait for third to sour before ale yeast), and will pitch brett when it's all over. After half a day the no boil is tasting like apricots, while the others taste like wort and slightly yeasty wort.

 

[Stuster]

After half a day the no boil is tasting like apricots

Mmmmm, apricots. :icon_drool2:

Ok, I'm inspired now. I wasn't going to mash hop, but seems like something different so I'm going to give that a go too. :icon_cheers:

And it was a pleasure having you here. Was out cold this morning when you called by however :huh: Had an afternoon in the park with the new mums group. The Dad's could be found in the corner downing stubbies which was nice.

I'll send you a bottle of the finished brew when fermented with the dark ale receipe. Toast those oats.

All done and dusted.

86% efficiency 26L of 13Plato measured in the fermenter.

I finally gave up on the recirculating cooling water for the plate chiller. Made a quick change and hooked the hose up to the plate chiller. 100ish -->17 degC in one pass.
No more waiting an hour for the thing to cool.
Recirculate on itself for about 15min to try and keep some cold break in the kettle then into the fermenter.

most enjoyable brew morning ever

 

[kevo]

Just made the Ordinary Bitter from BCS yesterday. Small batch, my second all grain batch(BIAB), went very smoothly and even overshot my gravity!

A great mornings brewing and it's happily chugging away in the fermenter this morning....

Was surprised how little break material I ended up with, recall heaps after my first AG batch a while back. Give it time though, see how much falls out in the fermenter.
