What are you brewing II ?

[T.D.]

Picked up 5 sacks of grain Saturday and fired up the mash tun yesterday :beerbang:

Brewed a Blonde style, 60 Pilsner, 40 Wheat. NB to bitter and Saaz plugs to flavour, fermenting now with US-05.

Hope to brew this long weekend with all the family here (again). Plan to do a CAP. Still to buy a chest freezer to ferment in. Need it up here, today was 35C in the house.

Cheers.

G'day mate, good to see you've got the brewery up and running!

So did you ferment the blonde @ 35degC??? :lol:

[T.D.]

How did it taste anyway, Pumpy?

Not sure about the Craftbrewer version but I have been really impressed with the Fermentis WB-06. For a dried yeast it really produces a respectable Weizen. In particular a Weizen that a mate made recently with that yeast was up there with any wheat I've tried at a Bavarian Beer Cafe or the like.

[0M39A]

bottled my extract ESB today

was
3kg light dried extract
200g 120ebc crystal
100g 60ebc crystal
300g white sugar

25g super alpha @ 60min
35g EKG @20min
35g EKG @ whirlpool

23L, fermented with s-04 @ 18C

last longneck i was bottling only got to 3/4 full, so i obviously couldnt let it go to waste, so down the hatch it went. just finished, and even though it was a little warm and had pretty much no carbonation to speak of, it was lovely

now in the process of brewing an american IPA hopburst style

3.5kg light dried extract
500g dextrose
200g 60ebc crystal

15g POR @ 60min (done this recipe before, could have done with a touch more bitterness so trying it out this time)

hopburst mix of 50g cascade, amarillo and golden cluster
starting at 30min and adding some every 5min thereafter.

fermenting with s-04 (thought i had some us-05 but it turns out i dont :'( ahh well, s-04 is better than nothing)

This one is in the fermenter in the fridge at present.

[KoNG]

Duff,
here's the recipe you asked for.. nothing much to it.
Been pitching the WB06 at 17*C then holding it around 18-19*C for most of the ferment, before letting it go up to 22*C.
This has been giving me some half decent banana (thats all of course if you are going to use the dry wheat.. haha)
(ps. can you flick me another email, your old address keeps popping up.. )

[MrChokChai]

hmmmm seems i am a bit ot of my league here but what the heck

i love ginger beer

both with and without alcohol

i am developing the best ginger beer in the world

i am trying all diffrent styles and processes

mcc

 

[sam]

Haven't brewed in a while, but warming up with an IPA.

13lb Pale (85ish)
2lb Munich (10ish)
0.5lb Crystal 40 (5ish)

1oz Columbus @60
1oz Columbus @15
0.5 Cascade @15
1oz Columbus @0
0.5oz Cascade @0

All flowers. Sorry about the units - thats what my hb store guy uses, I start talking metric and we both get confused, so Imperial it is. I guess it will come to about 1065, and 70+ IBU's.

Yeast will prob 1056. Has anyone used Ringwood in a NW style IPA? Any comments? Wazza?

sam

 

[warrenlw63]

G'day Sam, how's things?

Ringwood in an IPA? Not so sure. Going to have a few things to deal with... High FG, quite a bit of diacetyl (this yeast leaves quite a bit) and a "very" estery profile that's going to compete with your hops.

Probably be a little tempted in an English IPA. Maybe not American though.
