Hi all, last night i set out to start the workings on a Zwickel Corona Clone, wasn't that a task, and yes i was warned bu Zwickel...pre-boil the crushed corn and crushed rice.....turned out like thick porridge, using a 15 litre s/s pot to boil 5 kg of this mixture with 20 litres of water just doesn't seem to calculate, the reason was that i was cold and lazy and decided to utilise the gas stove inside our nice warm house...anyway, it turned out OK....

Today was a different story, water was to temp at 6.15am to add the 6kg of pilsener malt, went like a dream, whilst adding the pre-boiled mixture i realised i could not fit it all into my 50 litre boiler, left out about 1/5 of the corn and rice mix.....then trying to raise the temp from 52 to 66 degrees, my electric element could not handle the thickness of the brew and kept scalding, i worked it several times but in the end got a burnt taint smell to the wort, didn't even try to resurect it, the chooks were very appreciative of all that fine food and hopefully i will be having golden googies for breakfast tommorrow....

A lesson learn't......my brewery makes a great beer, but it can't make every recipe, i think i need to ask some questions about gas....even just to have it for certain recipes......

I have a great Lager starter ready to pitch if anyone can use it!!!.....might just put down a lager tommorrow.....yeah, get back on that horse :) .....

What, no Fibonacci sequence for the hop addition times too :lol: . 0, 5, 5, 10, 15, 25, 40
 
Your to hard core for me :p
 
Daz, use your hot rice/corn mix as a way to help stepping up the temp, so you don't need your element in the mash, then add boiling water and stir like crazy to complete the temp step.
I did a CAP last week to do this. The rice made the sparge a ******* but it's ready for some finings and a chill. Tasting great too :beer:

got this mashing BIAB style now.
really looking forward to the nelson sauvin hops. was very impressed with knappstien reserve lager.
only changes to the promash report are the corn syrup is actually dextrose, and the yeast is dry us-05 which i think is the same thing?? cheers.

It shouldnt have come as a surprise but I was about 2L short in the fermenter <_<

Thanks Tang, thats a great idea nad something i never thought of, but Zwickels recipe asks for a stepped mash and a sparge temp of 78 degrees.....i'm gonna have to get a gas burner anyway, i might as well have everything, best of both worlds, suppose i need to talk to ross to see whats the best burner...any ideas??

Today it's a batch of Alt, to be split with a girl at my work.

It's a double-decocted Altbier, as she wanted a beer that's "malty". My suggestion was that Altbier is maltier than the Nut brown ale she was proposing. What's maltier than all-Munich malt, apart from maybe a Doppelbock with even more Munich?
