What are you brewing II ?

[sam]

Definately, D. I'll have it bottled by BBD @ Kooks, though i can almost say for sure it won't yet be carbonated. They look like they'll be quite different beers, it'll be an interesting comparison. We might have to send a bottle each to Sam in Canada to see how we measure up! Have you tried the Rogue, or just heard of it's grandeur (as I have)?

I'm cool with that. Whack some Vegemite in while your at it .

I'll send you back some maple syrup and smoked salmon, maybe even a Shakespeare or two.

Seriously though, I've built up a nice stockpile of spent yeast in the fridge and am currently planning my little Vegemite refinery. I'll update the old post when I do.

I'm unsure whether I should brew today or not. I have everything in stock to brew the Burton IPA posted by Browndog and NRB a couple of days ago, but don't know if I can bring myself to it.

I need convincing, or therapy :unsure:

11am and mine's cubed. Man those Styrian flowers and plugs smelled great... I'll post some pics later. The hop pile on the kettle false bottom looks impressive and drained like a charm. :super:

Duff... Good to hear you changed your tune. :lol:

[James Squire]

I see our chat about keg hopped Bitters got your mouth watering Warren!?

I bet it'll be a ripper.

[warrenlw63]

Thanks JS

I'm hoping so. I'm a big Styrian Golding fan.

[Ross]

Unfortunately nothing this week The fermenters are all empty, but I'm up to my eye balls reconciling accounts for the quartery BAS - Guess there has to be a downside to having all these lovely hops/grains on hand B)

cheers Ross

 

[johnno]

11am and mine's cubed.
Warren -

I have just started the boil on mine.

You bribing the neighbours with beer warren? Or do you have a soundproof brewery?

Dont think I could get away with such an early start.

cheers
johnno

 

[Bobby]

just cubed my bitter, first gold smells great!!!

 

[warrenlw63]

Some pics of the kettle with the hop pile. Those S/S false bottoms really work like a charm. Just hop sock your 60 minute pellet additons and Bob's yer uncle.

Drained 50 litres to the cubes in around 15 minutes. The whole hops which work like a filter bed and get you really clean wort to the cubes.

Think I'm addicted to whole hops. :lol: :wub:

Bobby. First Gold is slated for my next bitter with some Northdown plugs.. :beerbang:

Warren -

 

[Bobby]

I was thinking of doing the same actually Warren, just didnt get myself organised enough to order some of Ross...next time

 

[Tony]

i made a smaller FB than that with some ss mesh and punched a hole in the middle of it for the pickup to go through for my old 50 liter kettle which is now my HLT

I put it in the bottom of the kettle when i used whole hops and it works great.

Looks great warren!

I use an old 18 gallon keg now and the base of it isnt celindrical so it makes it hard to do this.

So i made a ss mesh hop basket to hold the whole hops and it works a treat.

I love whole hops too, they rock

cheers

 

[devo]

I just cubed up an AG kolsch which I flavoured with 40gm of tettnag plugs and also just mashed in a Dusseldorf Alt.

 

[Stuster]

Well, being ANZAC day (and having the Australian ale yeast on hand looking for a feed) I decided on an Aussie (ish) ale. Not exactly a clone, but should be a light, easy quaffer, especially for friends who are not beer geeks. :unsure:
