WYeast 1056 Amercan Ale/Chico
 
After not brewing for more than 7 weeks, I decided to go crazy today. I started out thinking I'd do a double brew day, but somehow I've ended up doing four batches in the day.

wink-n-grin.gif


It's been fun actually, though I'm fading now, doing the boil on the last one. Started out with a rye pale ale, hopped with ahtanum.

The next one was actually batch number 100, so I did a special beer, a sour Flanders red which I'll use the Wyeast Roeselare yeast for. That should be ready sometime next year.

Then onwards to an ordinary bitter hopped with EKG and Bramling Cross and finally a low gravity APA with Nelson Sauvin and Saaz.

And all that after giving SWMBO a lie in and so not mashing the first one in until nearly 11, and then SWMBO going out this evening leaving me with child duties. Seems like a five batch day should be a snap next time.

Amazing work Stu! Hearty congratulations.
 
Great work Stu. Cubes until Xmas now I'm sure :p

Brewed a Wit today that will likely be for my wifes Xmas party (mostly females) :icon_chickcheers:

Beers,
Doc

and the other was my very first attempt at anything dark. I've never done a dark beer before (obviously) and the recipe section was down here - so I had to make something up. (Which is always risky)
The main motivation being that I have 25kg of black malt sitting there, along with a couple of others I haven't used, so expect the recipe to not fit into any style as such because I have not a clue when it comes to making a dark beer. I thought I'd throw a small handful of black peppercorns and 2 split vanilla beans into a cup of 80 degree water, cool and throw in when it comes time to secondary. Just for the hell of it. Bets on what it will taste like are now being taken............seems ok at present, dark wort (tick - was looking for dark wort) coffee like aroma (tick another one) the right gravity...etc.....tastes ok.....
Guess I'll find out in a week or two! :D

A Belgian [what else?] nice and light at 1.066, pitched the dry Belgian Ale yeast from Ross.
Going well but I am hooked on the smell of Wyeast 3787 fermenting :p and when it's done.... Great, can't beat it.
I hope this is as good or close.
Have two on this yeast and one is a mix of the two, just can't help myself. ;)
 
Put down a simple 23 litre APA yesterday

5kg JW Ale malt

Chinook pellets @ 60 mins
Cascade @ 30 mins
Northern Brewer @ 15 + 1 Whirlfloc - was going to use Centennial but they smelt off
Cascade @ 0 mins

Mashed @ 66 degrees for 60 mins

US05 Dry yeast. No chilled over night.

SG 1048

Cheers
Steve
 
Nearly finished the boil on a Hefe.

55% Weyermann Wheat
22.5% Weyermann Pils
22.5% Weyermann Munich I
A little handful of Carafa Special III

Single infusion at 66, OG 1.050
Hallertauer Mittelfrueh plugs at 60min to 14 IBUs
Wyeast 3068 at 18 degrees.
 
CAP with a twist for me
damn the rice seems to have slowed the sparge though :angry:
 
lemongrass in the mash and the boil :p
matched with pacific hallertaur
 
That's um, well, ah, unusual. Actually, sounds like it might work well. Especially with those hops which are a bit lemony aren't they. Hope you've finished sparging by now. Tasting time reports please. :)
 
i did one in my extract days, so i thought i might update it
i was going to use glacier but i can't find them, so i'm bombing it with a whole 90gm packet of whole pac haller and it smells awesome so far just with 10gms FWH
NASA is lit
 
Friend of mine dropped in today, brought me fresh harvested hops (grown in hes garden), ahhhh....what a smell.... :wub:

Magnum 45er Bullets, 1Kilo :)

please have a look:

2851.JPG


isnt it lovely? can you smell it?

So 500g of it Im going to use coming saturday for an outstanding dry and hoppy Pilsener

Alpha acid should be around estimated 10%, because its fresh and still green (wet) I have to take 4.3 times more than dried one.

So 500g should be good for 36 IBUs in 60l of beer.

ahhh....I got an idea....what about to fill a pillow with that hops and have a nice sleep on it? :rolleyes:

ohhh... it takes effect like drugs...I can feel it already....

Cheers mates :party:
 
Me and Mikem brewed a double decoction bohemian pilsner

Using all saaz plugs.(great for salads)

The aroma of opening the 2kg seal of last years crop was awesome.
