What are you brewing II ?

[NickB]

Up early today brewing my Xmas case swap beer, a AAA. Just finished doughing in:

AAA
40L pre-boil
28L batch (final volume)
65% efficiency


3.5kg BB Galaxy
2kg BB Ale
2kg Weyermann Munich I
0.2kg Med Crystal
0.2kg CaraRed
0.08kg Black Patent

65C mash


15g Chinook @ 60 mins
15g Simcoe @ 20 mins
15g Centennial @ 20 mins
15g Simcoe @ flameout
15g Centennial @ flameout
10g Chinook @ Dry Hop (5 days)

Fingers crossed it comes out OK. Was planning on the usual suspects in Cascade and Amarillo, but don't have any, and quite liked Simcoe in the last AAA I brewed, so thought I'd give it a go with Centennial and see what happens!

Cheers

Two brews done today now in cubes and a Saison starter ready.
Saison wort 1.060 which the 565 yeast will go nuts over and a Stout 1.058 [light for my stouts], have not done a stout in yonks, what yeast to feed to it? thinking 1084 or Nottingham, BUT I just happen to have a 2.4 L starter of Saison 565 and I don't need that much in the Saison <_< why not? We can do anything and make some funky beers. I brew for no one else but my taste bugger the comps and style police :icon_cheers:

Update on the Saison Stout, racked it to 2nd today [Saisons look like they are finished but they often kick on again] at 1.015 and sure enough it's off and running again, tastes great to me [but I have odd tastes ] the dark malts are coming through a little strong but again this happened with the strong Russian Imp I did, and that mellowed out in time, it's sitting in the laundry at 22c so this one has not seen a fridge to ferment in, as I do with all the Saisons, just let them go .

bindi out.

New edit: Finished at 1.003 !! Refrac 6 was Refrac 14.8 7.1%

After reading the NZ Hops thread I think I might have a crack at an all Pacific Gem summer ale on Sunday. Was planning on doing a double brew day, not sure about the second one yet <_<

Saturday: 120km bike ride

Going to do Ash In Perth Aussie Pale from the recipe section. Aussie Pale
I will up the base malt a little to 4.5kg of Bairds and use dry So4 yeast, I will bottle this one for camping trips.

Put down a big partial ESB with fuggles + EKG about 2 weeks ago, and it's sitting in secondary conditioning. Tastes great out of the fermenter.

In primary I have a simple extract weissbier for the week after next and I have just finished sparging the grain for an chinook + cascade big partial APA.

First time fly sparging, with roughly 80% efficiency so I am pretty chuffed. 15L of 1050 wort into the boiler from 2.5 kg of grain! It's a great little ghetto rig as well, using a cube as the liquor tank and sparging via 1/2 inch silicon hose with a copper jiggler siphon attatched, with the flow rate lowered to a gentle trickle by a pair of multigrips 3 feet away from the end of the hose.

Might do a small (15L) all-grain bock next, as my first AG.

 

[user 1153]

Did my first "double batch" on Sunday which was a APA (SN type clone).

Ended up with 2 ferms of 18L wort each, topped up with water to 21L and still measuring in at a big 1058!!

For an experiment I left one alone and pitched a US-05, while the other one I tossed in a further 30g of Cascade pellets and pitched with a Deliverance (TWOC) Ale Yeast.

5 days later and they are both down to around 1012 and both taste nice, yet completely different to each other (as you'd sort of expect). I was hoping the dry hopped one would end up more towards an improv IPA which I think it has.

For this weekend I have the ingredients ready for a basic wheat beer, aka Redback but as usual I will probably vary some bits. Also thinking of breaking out a small amount and adding some honey for a friend who likes Beez Neez.

Ever dry hopped with Simcoe Jye?

Ever dry hopped with Simcoe Jye?

Your hop schedule is very similar to what I use with my house apa and the amarillo/simcoe is beautiful, I always get a great floral aroma.

So I built meself a mash tun today out of a 45 L esky I had lying around and decided I'd have a go at the AG thing, albeit doing the boil in two 20 L pots in a split version. I have a very partial liking to the Knappstein beer, so i thought Ii'd have a crack at Ross's Nelson sauvin Summer Ale and see how I fared.

So at the moment it's happily boiling away at the moment with the first hop addition added and those Nelson Sauvin's smell absolutely freakin fantastic wafting in from the garage. 40 mins to go and it's time for the next hops so I guess I will see how I go. If I am at least remotely successful I can see me upsetting the wife severely and fast tracking the gathering of more desirable equipment to do this AG thing properly
