Hey Kook, does that 5.2 stabiliser stuff really work ?

 

[kook]

Seems to. I've measured the pH the last two times I used it, and it was either 5.2 or 5.3, which is close enough!

 

[mika]

You get that from Ross ? or someone local. Was going to brew this arvo and if you can just throw that stuff in and not worry about it I'll grab some when I get my grain.

 

[kook]

As far as I know only Ross and Grain & Grape sell it in Aus.

 

[randyrob]

Hey Mika,

i'll go u halves if u want to give it a go?

Rob.

 

[mika]

As far as I know only Ross and Grain & Grape sell it in Aus.

Damn !

Even with Ross's speedy service it's not going to make it here in time.
Oh well.

Smashing and having to replace a 5gal carboy before my brew day could kick off wasn't enough for me today, while brewing Ash's Robust Porter I decided I would follow it up with a Lambic. I think it's gonna be a late night.

 

[browndog]

Got the HLT full and the timer set so when I get home at lunchtime tomorrow I can get straight into a double brew, the first one being the Burton-on-Housatonic Engish IPA in the latest BYO mag, I was hanging to do this as soon as I read about an IPA hopped with heaps of EKG. Then I'm doing the Stones 6th Anniversary Porter. Two big beers for a big afternoon brewing, there will be some activity in the fermenting fridge over the weekend friends.

cheers

Rogue,s Shakespeare Stout Clone and more than likely an Altbier unless of course i come across some smoked malt then it will be a rauchbier.

 

[brendanos]

That Shakespeare sounds delicious, probably something I'll brew real soon.

What recipe did you use Big D, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[sam]

That Shakespeare is delicious!

I had a poor attempt at a clone a couple of months back, I'll check my recipe tonight but I think I used:
- too much roast barley
- no Cascade


Both big problems when cloning this beer. So I ended up with a big, tasty oatmeal stout, but no Shakespeare.

I used Pacman, but I don't think that really matters. Here's a recipe which sounds better than mine. I think the late addition Cascades are important.

Find the stats for Shakespeare here.

Think I'll brew it again soon, after my backlog of planned IPA's and a weizen or two.

 

[Thommo]

I'm brewing a wheat tomorrow just in time for summer.

What? It's April already????

I had actually planned on doing this last December. Better late than never I guess.

For those who don't buy BYO (and I'm probably the only one here), could someone post the receipe? The website only has American IPA's listed ATM.

Cheers.

 

[browndog]

Will do and will do Lads.

I'm doing a hefeweizen with my first go at a decotion. Worked well from the specs from promash and it's boiling away right now. Hopped with saphire...mmmm
