Brewed my first all grain batch today. Had brewed 5 extract and 2 partial mash before. Went with a forgiving American pale ale.

88% (4.4kg) BB ale malt
8% (400g) Weyermann Munich I
4% (200g) Weyemann Caramunich I

Mashed at 67 deg.

Cascade, Amarillo and Simcoe at 20min and 5min for approx 42 IBUs (Tinseth formula)
Will dryhop.

2 x US-05
Fermenting at 19 deg for 2 weeks.

Estimated 70% efficiency and was targeting 19 litres at 1.058. Ended up with 21 litres for 1.058.

How do you find that recipe browndog , have you made it before?

 

[winkle]

Browndog, that is almost the same recipe as my bitter - except you've doubled the hops!
Should be great :beerbang:

 

[BoilerBoy]

Brewing side by side lagers,
one today the other tomorrow

Both 90% wey pils
5% melanoidin
5% carapils

Both with early additions of NZ Super Alpha
one with late additions of Saaz 'B'
the other finished with Saaz 'D'

and using a Bavarian lager yeast.

Never used any of these hops before so I am looking forward to a side by side comparison.

Cheers
BB

My 30th birthday today, and Jye is over to help brew up a Belgian Tripel. Today marks the pilot run of the new brew stand. Currently finishing off the mash, but so far so good.


I've had two taps (no shanks) for the past year, and Jye gave me a shank for a birthday pressy, so we had to take a page out of Campbells book and throw together a makeshift font, until I get my bar built which wil be directly on the other side of the wall.

Was brewing yesterday and after adding the sparge water I picked up the utensil I use as a mash paddle to stir the mash and a cockroach went into the mash with it.

******* died pretty quick but I had to fish around to find it. Have not named the brew yet. I'm sure it was GL who ran one through the mill once.
