Isnt it usually the brewer ***** if the recipe is tried and True? :lol:
 
Have you brewed this before Steve? You won't be disappointed ;)

I brewed this (and a few others) for a mates 21st at the end of uni last year. It was the most popular beer we had, despite it being summer and the crowd being made up mostly of typical uni students (goon & juice, passion pop, vodka and whatever beer is on special at the time type of crowd).

Keg lasted about 45 minutes, happy brewing!

No I havent Dave - looking forward to it. Tonys brews are very good.
Cheers
Steve

Remember how i said i would have my mash in when you got up Steve..........

Well the alarm went off at 4 or 4:30..... something rediculous i set it to when i was all brave and keen last night. I turned it off, mumbled f#@k that and rolled back over :)

got up at 5:30 and by 6:40 the mash had done its protein rest and was up to 64 deg. Hit all my temps spot on which was nice.

here is the bill for the Alt im mashing

No no no, you got it all wrong Fourstar, if it turns out crap it's the recipe, if it turns out good it's the brewer :lol:

So ive come up with this sort of british type summer ale thingo, im gonna call it EKGalaxy :unsure: Im thinking the spicy/earthy ness from the galaxy will go well with the EKG and also add a hint of passionfruit which might be quite nice... Only one way to find out!

Fark its only 9.40.....is it time for a beer!?

:chug: Always mate! Im sure there's a pub open somewhere.

I got held up with a hot breakfast order i must have offered last night after a few beers and mashed for about 90 min then my sparge channeled and i had to stir and re set the grain bed so just boiling mine now.

And i will be chilling it so mine wont be ready till after lunch but it will be fermenting in the morning :)

cheers

Edit: Just discovered my long mash and slow sparge has given me 88% efficiency. Ive had to increase the hops so my Alt is bitter enough.
 
Got my next two brews planned... I generally plan ahead a few brews going by what yeast I have in the fermenter, as I try to get a good run off of each pack of yeast ;)

Fermenting this with 2nd Gen Nottingham, last time I used 1469 and didnt have the Vienna in there, so will be interesting to see how this turns out, probably not as good tho :p lol

Just finished

Route 66 APA V

God damn i love this beer except i think it is evolving into an IPA (yep BeerSmith confirms it is now Route 66 IPA) :D
Might just adjust the OG in future to balance a little more. But then i ask why as the hop flavor with a little caramalt is outstanding.

There's a BABBs member who has a brilliant quite accidental hop related number plate I saw in the car park last time - can't remember the numerals but it reads 123 FWH. Better than DMS I suppose. I'll try and get a photo next meeting.

Not that I'm trying to outdo a certain retailer Bribie (Wink-Wink) but that puts my number plate TAP-00 to shame. Letters are Terri And Peter. Got this when personal plates first came out in QLD around the time when most of you young whippersnappers were born. B)
Wanted PAT-00 but it seems that there's a million Pats in Oz. :p
My one & only defence against being called a male chauvinist pig is I let the missus go first. :lol:

Bring it to the Swap... :icon_drool2:

CB, I'm making it for the swap - Let's hope it's drinkable :unsure: may even have a Randell set up to give it a bit of extra bite...

cheers Ross
 
Tonight, brewed a small batch of Neill Centenarillo Ale, bottled a trial ESB for the Vic Case swap, harvested 4 stubbies of Wyeast 1968 slurry from the primary, and prepared a starter for some US-05 I harvested a couple of weeks ago.

Right now, going to finish a crazy toucan stout, and hit the hay.
