I have been having a bit of back trouble lately, so took today off work and did a triple brew day. :lol:

Blonde Ale, Aussie Brown, and a Wheat. Didn't quite get the wheat finished before the storm came. Had to sit outside with an umbrella and make sure I didn't get too much water in the kettle, and I left it for a good half an hour after the whirlpool while the storm passed.

Will be tipping into fermenters tomorrow to get the Chrissy stocks up. There is no beer at my place until I pick up my Xmas case from Mike.

Looks the goods an Ale yeast at that malt/hop bill would work well.

Brewhouse Efficiency: 62.0 Is that correct?

Looks good Browndog.
I found that my last hop schedule with PoR (FWH-45-5) turned out well.
I havn't used US05 in an Aussie ale though. Let us know how it goes.

TP :beer:

 

[bindi]

Total Grain Weight: 3.55 kg ?Tony
+ 650g of sugar = 4.2 total <_< I think without going to Beersmith [after a little taste of my new Belgian on tap] can't count, more beer me thinks. :lol:

Edit: typo after typo :icon_drunk: .

Yes unfortunately my efficiency is only 62% but 78% into the kettle, not sure of why a difference arises, sugguestions welcome.

SWMBO likes beer very malty so was trying one with the oktoberfest yeast to see what happened, got it cheap and needed to use it.

Yeah, I hear you Bindi, my easy drinkers are anything under 6%, but I have to have a fair dunkum crack at it here, 4.8% is the target and it can be consumed by all and sundry, I'll work on the other three taps.

cheers
