What are you brewing II ?

[Belgrave Brewer]

10g sounds like SFA, but when you weight it out, it's a ***** load, especially for 19L
When are you using them, at 5mins, flameout...?
I'd use the zest off about 1/2 a large orange for 19L.
You can always scale up with the next batch but you can't scale back an orange beer, if you get my drift.

Got it, and thanks for the advice.

I was going to use it 30 minutes from end of boil.

I won't use it on this batch. reVox pm'd me as well and was against it. If it needs it, I'll add it to the next version.

Thanks!

it's worth experimenting with stuff like that but you're probably best off splitting a batch or something like that.

Currently boiling my prototype for the NSW Xmas in July Case.

135 (3%) Carapils malt

35g Czech Saaz 0 mins and 15 mins
35g Halertau 30 mins and 60 mins bittering to 40BU. Overestimated the bitterness cos of old Halertau flowers from the 2006 bulk buy. Hoping it's really about 35BU.

WLP800 Pilsner yeast @ 10C.

Desired OG 1.044, FG 1.010 abv 5.1% in bottle.

Does this sound okay?

Gotta have a batch for myself. Unlike last time where I brewed a cracker and only got one bottle.

Hmmm must do another Sparkling soon. Got so many beers on deck though. It's hard to work out which to brew next. Must :chug: more!

 

[Barramundi]

i know what ya mean josh i was thankful the xmas case had a few withdrawals so i managed to get a few extras back ...

 

[Tony]

the kolsch went into the kettle without a hitch and i thought to myself............. what am i going to do now, its only 6PM.

Brew another 50 liters of beer is what :super:

Just mashed in a Smokin GT.

FOr those out there who spent time on the old grumpys forum, you will know a bit about this.

Its a recipe Thomas got everyone making to sell some rauchmalz (smoked malt).

I had a kilo of hoepfner rauchmalz thats about 3 years old and a kilo of fresh weyermann rauch so i chucked them in.

I will brew it on the kolsch yeast when the kolsch is done.

Not using your own smoked malt anymore Tony?

I'm planning to smoke a small amount of malt with eucalyptus leaves, and brew a "bushfire" beer in search of a something different and uniquely australian, so long as it doesn't make the beer toxic.

Tomorrow morning brewing Ash's Mash Paddle Porter with a few small tweaks.



Not shown in ProMash capture: 50g of home roasted amber/brown malt, mashing at 66-67C, and fermenting with 1007 german ale at 18-20C. Should be nice over winter.

Cheers
Brendan

Brew day was last night :blink: Double brew

I have a Scottish 80/- brewed back to my original recipe and a Sierra Navada APA clone.
Both sitting in cubes in the fridge and will be ready for pitching this afternoon.

Not off to a good day, already have broken my 5gal glass carboy, which was my only spare fermenter. Anyone got any bright ideas for a cheap substitute?
