What are you brewing II ?

[RdeVjun]

"Nowts and Crosses"
Mash
3.10 kg Barret Burston Ale
0.15 kg Weyermann Caraaroma
0.10 kg Bairds Pale Crystal
0.40 kg Raw Sugar (post- boil addition)
BIABed at 55, decocted 3 litres gruel + hot water to 66 for 90 mins mash.
(Just playing with decoction for S&Gs.)

Boil
15g Southern Cross 13.2% 90 mins 29IBU
14g Bramling Cross 5.1% 20 mins 6IBU + Whirlfloc
12g Bramling Cross 5.1% 0 mins
15g Styrian Goldings 5.5% dry hopped (not yet obviously...)
Total 35IBU (18 litres including sparge in)

Diluted to 22 litres in fermenter and at mid-20s added the maltiness clincher: a freshly- smacked 1768 starter!
OG 1.052 at ~27IBU, expect FG in the low teens. Could've been bitterer, but have run out of my regular bittering hops, so this is really another 'disposal'/ 'clearing the decks' batch, tastes divine so far though!

reviled, that thing is ballistic! Give us a yell with how it turns out hey? Too bad I've gotta post after you with more 'Homebrand Horrors'. I'm just using the kits as a base and upping the yeast and grains to them to make some quick stuff that should taste reasonable.

Both variants get 500g LDME and 300g Dextrose as main fermentables, S-04 yeast for the Draught and Coopers kit stuff for the Lager. Both to 22L.

Homebrand Lager 1.7kg
150g Crystal 120
20g Cluster @ 15min

Homebrand Draught 1.7kg
350g Crystal 120
150g Chocolate
50g Black Patent
20g Fuggles @ 15min

May consider halving the amount of Patent in that last one, not a huge fan of it unless I'm doing a stout...this ones aimed as more of an easy-going Porter. The former is intended to be mass-consumed swill

Cheers guys - boingk

Got an OG of 1069 and 172 IBU for 23 litres B)

Im a bit disappointed as I wanted a slightly stronger beer and just bang on 19-20 litres but oh well, at least now ill have a few bottles I can put aside for a while

edit : actually, if it gets down to 1016 thats still 7% so shell be right

 

[brettprevans]

brewed up the pliny clone from here on the weekend. b/c it was a double batch i made a partigle brew from the 3rd & 4th runnings. boiled up the pliny, drained, then threw the partigyle straight onto all the hops in the kettle and boiled for 40min. threw in about 440g of tettang hop @0min just for fun. will ferment with recultered coopes yeast.

According to the beer recipator 9 SRM, the global munich definately helps as its 25EBC...

The hydrometer sample smelt like hops in a BIG way, normally the malty aroma takes over when the wort is really warm, but all I could smell is hop, subtle passionfruit and pine :icon_drool2:

I pitched a bit warm, like, way too warm (26*c h34r: ) but shes in a cold bath now fermenting away, and with US-05 it wont really matter cos shes so clean and hardy B)

Been getting the bits together to start doing partials over the last few months. Recently I decided to start brewing smaller batches so I can brew more often (a 23lt batch lasts me a ridiculously long time and there's too much I want to brew to wait til it is all gone). Then I realised my partial gear would probably see me through a small AG batch. My set up is going to be a sort of bag-in-a-tun kind of thing but I don't have the bag sorted yet but I thought "bugger it, how much harder can it be?"

Quite a bit, it turns out.

Anyway, this is it:

Fruit Salad Pale Ale
9lt volume
1.5kg Golden Promise
200g Munich I
200g Carared
100g Carapils
5g Columbus (14.2%) @ 60
8g Simcoe (12.3%) @ 30
10g Amarillo (8.6%) @20
8g Galaxy (13.4%), 5g Simcoe @ 10
10g Columbus, 15g Amarillo @ 5
10g each Galaxy, Columbus, Simcoe @ flameout
Wyeast 1272

Bit worried about the hopping now - messed up my mash somehow and got my target SG but at 2lt less than target volume (supposed to be 11lt). We'll see, I guess.

Lessons learned: Probably be better of doing partials with this gear; use a hop bag when hopping so highly in a small batch (my wort is basically green); get the bloody pillowcase made before the next batch!

[EDIT: considering a dry hop of 3-5g of each Amarillo, Simcoe, Galaxy but not sure I'll need it, I'll wait for the sample in 2 weeks I suppose]

 

[reviled]

Do the dry hop Bum, you know you want to :icon_drool2:

Congrats on doing an AG batch mate, theres no going back now

Nice one.
Keep us posted on how the chinook/cascade aroma addition comes out, or have you done it before

Got a freezer full of cascade and the chinook plant going bonkers so, inquiring mind here

 

[schooey]

Haven't done it before, Mantis, just playing with those hops.... looking for the citrus hit with Chinook and Cascade combos. I know a lot of people don't like the US combos, and neither did I not too long ago, but they're growing on me and I'm trying this out as a Christmas beer for the neighbour. Will let you know for sure in a couple of weeks... :icon_cheers:

 

[Bribie G]

I'm doing two brews today to catch up, and went out to get an extra 20l cube. Hardware store had run out but I realised that I have a perfectly good 15L from a Fresh Wort Kit. I need to do a lager-ish brew for a birthday coming up in about 5 weeks and only need to fill a keg with no extra bottles required. So today I'll do an over gravity brew and adjust to 'trade strength' in the fermenter. That way I can use the 15 litre cube for no chilling.

4kg BB Pale Pilsener
500 da ricez

90 mins at 66 degrees

20g superpride 90 mins
20g B-Saaz (Motueka) 10 mins why not, give them a taste of real hops for once in their lives h34r:

500 da sugaz
US-05

Should be a good easy drinking party drop, I'll see if I can afford a filter in the next few weeks, polyclar and filter into keg. The problem will be hitting 15 litres spot on, I'll go a bit bigger and if there's a litre or so over I'll no chill the excess in 1L Schotts.


:icon_cheers:

Aiming for some prominent hop flavour/aroma, without the dry-hopping astringency, so only going FWH and late/cube additions.

Cube hops treated as 15minute boil.

A bit of a new-world APA of sorts tonight.
Love the Dsaaz/Amarillo combo

Looks good. I think DSaaz combines well with US hops generally. I've used it with Simcoe in a pale and with Cascade in an Amber. The DSaaz/Cascade one in particular was a great combination.

 

[HoppingMad]

Going to make a pumpkin ale. A bit of an odd experiment, but have never tried making a spiced beer before so thought I'd take it to the next level.

Not looking forward to cooking 1.6 kilo of pumpkin but that's what the recipe recommends.

Also suggests adding the pumpkin in the boiler otherwise if you mash it in with your grain you're getting serious stuck sparge.

Hopper.
