wheres your usual 200gms of dry hopping!

Come on boxing day!!!!

I am brewing with a mate - 2 brews

Mine is a bit of a twist as i cannot ferment cold i am going to cheat. I want to make a Pilsner with a slight APA stonefruit aroma to it. So what i am doing is the following:

5kg Pilsner Grain
0.5kg Vienna Grain
0.5kg Carapils
15g Rakau hops (11.5%) @ 60mins
15g Rakau hops (11.5%) @ 10mins
15g Rakau hops (11.5%) @ 5mins
Whitelab Kolsch yeast (this is where i am cheating not using pilsner yeast)
Should be 31 IBU

The Rakau will give me the stonefruit aroma but slill the saaz earthy peppery taste on the palate as well i believe Emersons in NZ use this hop in their pilsner.

My mate is attending a APA with Galaxy hops:

2kg Traditional ale grain
2.5kg Pilsner Grain
0.5kg Crystal grain

Then galaxy whole hops flowers - not sure what IBU's he is shooting for.

So cricket, beer and brewing!!!! An awsome boxing day ahead.

Cheers,
Plyers

I think $45 worth of Cascade is enough for a SMaSH! LOL

You can get a kg landed to your door from that states for close to that price! Buying US hops locally is a farce <_<

That's just what I did Mate! I bought 10 pounds (4.5 Kilos) for $200... HALF of which was shipping...

But I do have to say (since I work in a LHBS) that the buy price in AUS for US Hops is still double that price... Like over $100 a Kilo. It's BS, but I understand that the AUS Distributors are under contract....so the price should be getting infinitely better.. soon I hope.

Yeah i know what you mean. Ive been hounding the guy at my LHBS to do some direct buys. Can't go wrong but his distributors might get pissy if they find out!

I went in on a buy recently and its soooo worth the effort, especially if you have a favourite hop you chew through regulary. Before you know it 500g is almost gone within a few weeks!

Yep, I really like APA's and they chew through Cascade and Amarillo like breakfast cereal.

planning a 90% wheat (10% pils or rye) with about 1.5kg of mango in the primary, just waiting for the mangoes to finish in the next few days, can't wait to try this beer.


useless trivia: i've been pouring yeast cakes and trub around this tree all year and it's the best year we've had, the branches are straining under the weight B)

cheers

Must be a slow day out your way NIck, brewing on Christmas day, most of us are waiting until tomorrow.

I'm messing about with Brewsmith now working out my SMASH.

 

[devo]

Hopefully a galaxy APA on boxing day.

 

[NickB]

Yep, spending the day by myself today as the missus is away with her family, and I have to work the Boxing Day sale tomorrow. Plus my family is back in Tas as well. So, due to the fact that there is F-All on TV, have watched most of the movies I have, and I need to fill more kegs, I've decided to brew!

Will be firing up the BBQ shortly (lamb cutlets, some marinated in smoky BBQ, some in lime and rosemary), and a T-Bone, plus some oven roasted potato, and a few glasses of Great Wall of Hops MKI (Chinese Cascade) which I just kegged! His brother, Great Wall of Hops MKII (Marco Polo) will be kegged after lunch. Should be a good arvo!

Cheers

Sounds like a good day Nick, enjoy.
