What are you brewing II ?

[Kingy]

havnt brewed since january i hope this turns out im a little rusty,had to do a little bit of studying on a simple recipe to keep it easy.
5kg aussie pilsner
Norther brewer hops @60min 40grams to around 30 ibu
saaz @10ins 30 grams to around 3.5 ibu

need to get the feel of it again, never done a 100%pils before i think this recipe is a hit or miss lol.

 

[reviled]

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.

I tried a pumpkin ale a while back, the pumpkin was added to the mash and yes it screwed with the sparge... but oh man, was it such an awesome and interesting beer :icon_cheers:

Best of luck to ya mate!

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

Uh..I don't think I will be. Just took a sample and it tastes like I just mowed the lawn. Smells pretty fantastic though.

Note to self - 91g of hops in a 9lt batch is overkill.

 

[Barry]

Boiling an Aussie dark ale and a beer for a mate of mind, Nev's Old (pretty much a northern brown). 26 mins to the first cool down. Life is good.

[bconnery]

Not really a brewing post per se but since it's been over a year since I did it, and I'm excited...

Bottled the lambics today!

Ended up with 20 mixed berry lambics, 14 Fig and 8 of a blend of the two...
A few of those will go to the sour beer swap but still leaves me a few cases worth to drink and cellar.

Tasting pretty nice so far so I'm interested to see how they carb up. I've drunk them so far by just hitting them with the carbonator cap...

Sampled the first of these last night from the batch I didnt dry hop. Split it into two fermenters and dry hopped the second one at day 4 with 40g Amarillo.
This one is a winner. Smooth and seriously morish

Thanks Steve and PeteOz

 

[bum]

Note to self - 91g of hops in a 9lt batch is overkill.

Just bottled this. Very chewy. It smells absolutely amazing though.

 

[Stubbie]

Tomorrow mornings CAP................

Mmmmmmmm, a CAP.

I've brewed all my lagers during winter when the cool weather makes chilling to pitching temps relatively easy. If there's one lager I'd like to make in the summer time it's a CAP.

Razz, I'm interested to hear what your plan is for chilling/no chilling, and what's your planned pitching temp and fermentation temp?

Cheers

Morning Stubbie. I hadn't planned on any more bottom ferments this summer but the two that I have are not up to scratch.
I chill through a plate chiller using my tank water, brew got down to 24 degrees and then into the fermenter, I pitched the yeast this morning when the fridge had the wort down to 11 degrees. I've set my fridgemate for 10 degrees.
This hot start to November saw my tank water (5000 lt) at 14 degrees only two weeks, I should have made the CAP then.

 

[Stubbie]

Thanks Razz,

I normally run tank water through an immersion chiller to get down to 20ish and then recirulate a few litres of water with icecream container sized blocks of ice until I hit lager pitching temps. But with this summer-in-November heat, I think mid to high 20's is the best I'll achieve with tank water. And then I'll need a shedload of ice to hit lager pitching temps, especially for a double batch. Might have to do your trick and rack the semi-chilled wort into cubes and then allow to chill in the fermenting fridge before pitching.

Thanks.

Thinking of doing a smash tomorrow.....straight BB Galaxy, Cascade and US05?
