I have no idea what I'll be brewing this weekend but I have 3 empty fermenters and plan on filling at least 2 of them. Think I'll make my Deer With No Eye again if I have the stocks, prolly should get rid of my roasted grains too, maybe a big stout to keep for next winter.

For anyone local that's interested, this beer is now on tap in the shop - The most amazing red colour of any beer I've made & although bitter, it's amazingly well balanced. Going to brew this again - exact same recipe to approx 60>70 IBU's, I reckon it will be a winner.

Cheers Ross.

A lazy mans Lambic - No turbid mashing or long boils going on here today.. opted for a 70deg single infusion mash followed up with a 60min boil. Will ferment it out with some s-04, add Wyeast Lambic blend to secondary, & age it for about a year.
Just coming to boil now & the aged hops aren't smelling too pleasant at all. Smells like wheatbix & old damp lawn clippings :huh:

Nah Ross your deadset right there
I just didnt bother trying to categorise it
And really it is was supposed to be a SMASH but i have a feeling that the wheat will make it just a little nicer

Certainly going to be a favorite of mine over summer

Kudos to MHB for the recipe (Althogu i *******ized it a little and then changed it some more)\
This is really nice with just Wey Pilsner + Saaz to about 1048-50 oh and more Saaz .. i cant remeber of the top of my head but i think MHB was using something along the lines of 120g per 20L might be a little more of less but i dont think it matters

Tom

Edit: Kudos
