Way off style I know - but what the hell - Oranges from the Centennial and Marmalade from the Styrians + 1187 - hoping for a fruity little number.

Wish me luck - trying 1187 for the first time - Nottingham on standby.

I bought some 1187 out of TWOCs bargain bin and used it with trepidation for a split batch Hobgoblin inspired brew. No problems whatsoever other than it took a little longer than usual to drop the last few points and the flavour profile was spot on. I went and bought another smack pack and it is now my favourite yeast for english ales.


Good luck n use the force roger!

Was this meant to be Charlie Papazian's Nick of Time? Would have loved to try it in the original form.

Jye,

Ever heard of Charlie Papazian's WLP862 'Cry Havoc' yeast? Gerard_M has some in stock now so being a sucker for new things, I'm going to give it a try.

I only heard about it when Basic Brewing interviewed him. From the white labs description it sounds like bit of a crazy yeast and I will be interested to heard would you have to say about it.

 

[Ross]

Yes it was & still intend to brew it - Just decided at the last minute i needed something less risky on tap as my hopburst has nearly run dry.

Decided I was going to use up the rest of my JW Munich, JW Dark Munich and B Saaz hops. So I'm brewing this on my next day off... probally Wednesday :angry:

Planning on pitching this brew onto a slurry from a pilsner I'm about to ferment. Then after this brew goes to Lager I will pitch my cube of the Big Brew Day Dopple Bock onto its slurry. BIG Cake! :super:

All values are based on my Promash inventory... but many be a few grams out with my Munich. Gives youthe idea anyway.

[Screwtop]

I was planning on doing that Screwtop, but then thought seeing as it's a brew demo the added complexity might be a bit off putting, plus you know what it's like when you attempt something new, instant stuff up!!
I will be doing a 50c and then a 67c rest, I think a two step mash might be more than enough for a first timer :lol: . But I will be giving zwickels mash schedule a go when I get my new malt supplies.

Steve, I will post back and give full tasting details.

Cheers
Andrew

Makes sense Andrew, happy brewing today, hope all goes well for the noob, no doubt he'll go home happy after sampling some of your beers.

Just mashed in another Flanders Red.

49% Pilsner
20% Torrified Wheat
9% CaraRed
9% Caramalt
9% CaraAmber
4% CaraAroma

4 hour boil, with 11 IBU of EKG at 90 mins. Should end up with ~ 50L, which I will ferment out with US-05. Once it's reached 3/4 attenuation, I'll rack to two secondaries and add a pack of Roselare blend to each.

Depending on how the day goes, I may also brew 30L of Denny Conn's Rye IPA

Hoping for something a little redder this time hey Kook ?

Sweet looking recipe there mate, nice to see some goldings in there i think everyone overlooks that in a lcpa.

going to rob this one off you and give it a mash myself, also be nice to see how she goes.


finished a double brewday myself, some easy drinking ones

Coopers Pale Ale Clone and a Nelson Sauvin Ale.

wanna try and get three in and do a Hopburst to use up most of the hops in the freezer but

ran out of fermenters / cubes to put it in :-(

 

[kook]

Hoping for something a little redder this time hey Kook ?

Yep, though I screwed up (didn't heat up enough sparge water) so only ended up doing a 3 1/4hr boil. Hit my gravity fine though.

Ended up brewing DC's Rye IPA. Bloody hell rye is tough to crush! I missed my gravity by a bit though Ended up 1.069 rather than 1.073.

 

[goatherder]

I've just put down a cider. 4 litres of Speyton Fresh Tassie Crush cloudy apple juice, some yeast nutrient and half a pack of S-04. Man these things are easy to make...

 

[lucas]

I've just finished the cleanup after brewing a batch of Ross' Nelson Sauvin Summer Ale.

just realised I forgot to add any irish moss.... I guess I'll have to take it as an experiement to see that the stuff is actually having an effect in my other beers
