Are they definitely plugs Steve? Good score if they are. :unsure:

Your addition is 10g... Unless you busted one up I factor them in at around 15g per plug.

Just got my 100th AG on the boil, it went into the kettle at 1.061, a bit higher than Brewsmith anticipated, I'll put it down to my thorough sparging technique ;) It is a big american red. Designed to be malty with a big clean hop finish, should be interesting to see how the late columbus marries with the cascade.

looks like some of the other retailers need to step up to th plate :D
What do you want me to stop Vacuum packing?The label is nice but the packaging is all wrong.I use clear Oxygen barrier bags so you can see what you get.Nothing brown and crumbling hidden in no see bags as you find in some HBS. :icon_cheers: Most of that info on the label would be generic and not batch specific IMHO.

I heard some Amarillo plugs came into the country last year at one stage. I remember talking to the brewer at the Wig & Pen about them - he had dry hopped one of his beers with them. I got the impression they were a special import or a trial or some such thing. They obviously didn't hit the usual channels.
 
Have two brews planned for tomorrow. The first is my interpretation of an abbey style single ale (ala Petit Orval, Westmalle Extra, Chimay Doree etc) fermented entirely with brettanomyces lambicus. Second is a berliner weisse using the current WYeast VSS strain, which is a combination of German ale yeast, lactobacillus and a strain of brettanomyces (possibly anomalus).

Temperature on the day looks good so plan on brewing a pale ale.Nothing special but will use some cascade flowers ive stashed away.Should keep the Gryphon off my back for awhile. ;)

This was done using the Craftbrewer Weizen yeast
I posted it earlier and I enjoyed it being my first Weizen, Just reporting back on it .
despite being reminded by Tangent that it was a bit short on the wheat to be an official Weizen .
I must say I really enjoyed it though the Summer .
Weizens are Great beers to drink prior to drinking Malty beers as they 'reset your palette'and accentuate the Malty flavours .

Mash Profile

Mash Name: Decoction Mash, Double Total Grain Weight: 8.79 kg
Sparge Water: 23.91 L Grain Temperature: 22.2 C
Sparge Temperature: 75.6 C TunTemperature: 22.2 C
Adjust Temp for Equipment: TRUE Mash PH: 5.4 PH

Decoction Mash, Double Step Time Name Description Step Temp
20 min Protein Rest Add 36.68 L of water at 52.7 C 50.0 C
60 min Saccharification Decoct 11.84 L of mash and boil it 63.9 C
10 min Mash Out Heat to 75.6 C over 10 min 75.6 C



Mash Notes: Used for some authentic German styles. Attempt to draw decoction from the thickest portion of the mash. Profiles vary. Some traditional German mashes use a long acid rest at 40 deg C. Also some sources recommend the decoction amount be given a 15 minute saccharification rest at 158 F (70 C) before boiling it.
Carbonation and Storage
 
Mashing an ESB right now.
Been a long time since I brewed and ESB, but there was impetus . Gives me time to have another crack at it too if this one isn't on the money.

Beers,
Doc
 
A Weizen up here mashing now. Gone back to the 3068 from the dried wheat yeast. At first I thought the dried version was pretty good, until I bought a few bottles of commercial weizens. No comparison to the liquid version.
