Hey Pump, mind if I copy it and make one here too, that was a memorable day thanks to you guys, top effort to welcome a fellow brewer. And a top beer as I recall.

Screwy
 
Big day today - two brews and a bottling done.

Decided to take the day off and brew up a California Common I had the grains for... All went very smoothly, so after packing everything away and lunch with Mrs Bugwan, decided to unpack everything and put down a decent APA. Awesome! Finally bottled my stout too - 41 stubbies worth, with the difference (about 8 litres) in a keg. I decided having bottles would make it last longer, but I forgot how much of a pain bottling is!

I was mashing the first brew (Calif. common) and realised my hop schedule read like a Euro ale - loads of noble hops etc. Weird, I must have mixed up recipes at some stage... A quick trip to G&G saw me back on track with some Northern Brewer.

Devo - the smell of this one coming together was magnificent. I scaled the recipe down and tweaked a bit around my hop inventory...if it tastes as good as it looked/smelled I'll be happy. The yeast cake from the stout looks too good to waste, so I'll dump this on top of that tomorrow. Saves scrounging around for a pack of US56/WY1056... Estimated OG came in a little over the style, but with all the dry hopping I'll be doing, I can't see it being a problem.

Hopefully some posts in the "What's in the Glass" thread in the not-too-distant future...

Cheers!
 
Hey Chad, where did you source the Liquid Sorghum Extract ?
Sorry, just noticed your post. I got it from Brewers Choice here in Brisbane. $40 for a 2.8kg tub.
 
Bottled the 3-day Mild last night.

Brewin' up a competition today at Potters Brewery.

BTW: The public is welcome to attend!!!

Should be a great day.

I've fermented 4 (2 split batches) and bottled 5 beers in the last week.
Been a busy week, all right.
Got my yeast for the Wheat beer 2 days ago and there was no way that it would have been ready to bottle this morning.

If the comp's over today (judging etc), I'll make this one tomorrow...

WYeast 1056 Amercan Ale/Chico

I am hoping to start cellaring a few big beers and with such a huge hit of roast grains, and a relatively high hop bitterness this one will probably be drinking well in a few years! :lol:
Time to go stir the big black gooey mess thats in my mash tun.

Recipe: Brett the Blonde
Style: Belgian Specialty Ale
Target OG: 1.062
Yeast: WY5526 Brettanomyces Lambicus (~ 20 degrees)

Grist:
65% Weyermann Pils
35% Barrett Burston Ale

Mash Schedule: Single Infusion, 60 min at 66 degrees

Hopping Schedule:
17 IBU Styrian Goldings (60 mins)

Ended up changing the hopping schedule on this as follows:

20 IBU Williamette (60 mins)
1g/L Styrian Goldings (10 mins)

Figured a it'd be better balanced out a bit more, plus some flavour hops wouldn't harm it either :)
 
Sparging the Gose right now.
Thats right 6:44am and on to the sparge.
Anyone else remember that daylight savings finished last night, but forgot to change their alarm clock when they went to bed ? :p
5am mash in :beerbang:

Just put down my Wacky Nana Wheat beer for the July QLD case swap.
Smelt fantastic with the bananas on the boil.

Also put down a Blackrock Cider for the father out law.
 
Today I'm brewing a Weissbier and a variant of warrens 4 shades stout.
 
...well I butchered the weissbier due to the incorrectly adjusted false bottom of my new kettle. reVox was there to witness as the disaster unfolded.

Hey Screwtop,

How do you find the JW Dark crystal? I was thinking of getting this next time instead of the regular crystal and just using less.

Kabooby :)

Totally different flavour, try chewing some and then try chewing a lower SRM crystal. It's quite complex and fruity in comparison. I think it helps balance higher BU's,
 
34.12 gm Saaz ...... Pumpy...... i would have used 34.16g to acheive ballance. It will only be good for tipping out.

WLP 833......... what an awsome yeast. I has some but it got infected like lots of other great yeasts i bought in the last few months.

Cant afford fresh liquids so cheap dried yeasts it is untill im confident infections are gone.

I just bottled my 1.106 Dobbelbock last night after being brewed in November last year. It sat in secondary for a few months till i got sick of it beimg in the way. I even fed it a bit of fresh US-05 as i didnt trust the yeast in the brew to carb. It was all black and dead looking.

cheers

Thanks mate, I will give it a go
 
Just about to mash in another batch of Porter. I will be brewing a Stout later in the week that will be pitched on the slurry of the Porter. The rest of the day will be spent working on my 4 head counter pressure filler, & their won't be any pics posted of that anywhere! :)
I might throw a couple of IPA type ales through, just to see how they go too.
Cheers
Gerard
 
Well another day, another brew. The postie arrived at lunch time with a nice selection of hops. (Big thanks to Kev & Janet @ Kirrawee Home Brew Shop, great service as always). This afternoon I am brewing yet another pale ale, which will be followed tomorrow by another version of the same beer. The hopping schedule is pretty much the same on these two, but the grain bill will change. Should be interesting drinking/research over the next few weeks. Another plus is that all the spent grain has our backyard looking great.
Cheers
Gerard
 
Doing an AG demo for a friend who wants to get into it - Was going to do a bitter as he is a Pom - but went and had a look in my hop fridge and GLARING at me was a packet of Simcoe a packet of Centennial and a packet of Amarillo.

Hopburst it is then :beerbang:
