What are you brewing II ?

[roger mellie]

I've worked out if S189 ferments a little warmish it pushes out trace amounts of "wet dog" that I associate with mega-lagers.

Wet Dog!! - Chardonnay Beer - wait until I tell Tristram down the road - do you have anything that throws Latte Flavours??

Im doing a S-189 Pils over the weekend - will keep it at 12 based on that evidence.

Gawd! Does it come with it's own pall-bearers? B)

Insert gratituos pic of MOAMLT http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...st&id=18267

we've been told brewers in the states are using them for 2 x 25kg bags in the mash, it held the 38kg of grain and water we threw in it no problems and made brewing a big batch quite easy
perhaps you're onto something warren, every brewers dream to be burried in a giant mash tun!

Well my 8 year old nephew fits inside it quite easily, he can actually sit inside and then poke his head out of the quick access door in the lid! I did comment when we first were bequeathed it by Ant that it would be useful for storing a body in it so the next person who gets out of line at a brewday you have been warned h34r: theres plenty of room for a body as well as 38kg of spent grain and the wheels make it easy to move around as well so only one pall bearer is needed!
Not sure on the volume it is supposed to be 165 qt which is about 155litres but I have a sneaking suspicion that the volume includes the space of the raised lid, the manifold is about 5m worth of 1/2' copper slotted every 1/2" (only took about 40 minutes once I got going) and on its last outing we used a 4l hopback as a lauter grant and then pumped into our two kettles with a march pump. The grant worked a treat as we could recirc and then move hoses to kettles around without disturbing or run off. After a few minutes vorlaufen we had very clear runnings and as we were batch sparging managed to have the 1/2" valve on the MOAMLT fully open with no collapsed grain bed so Say YES to lauter grants, we are converted!!!

Tony, that sounds like a good recipe for that yeast. Do me a favour and taste the yeast culture before pitching. I don't wanna be involved with starting a new bug in your system.

[kabooby]

Did my Bock today for the NSW Xmas case and an ESB today. Crushed a lot finer this time to test out my new set up and she flowed like a dream, and my efficeincy was through the roof.
Looks like we now have a dopplebock :icon_chickcheers:

I cubed 25 litres of the bock and ran off 15 litres into the fermenter. Crash chilled the 15 litres and pitched the starter. The 25 litres can then go staight onto the yeast cake. This will also give me a comparison to the "chill" vs "no chill" saga

The ESB will be submitted into the ESB comp later this year

Dont have to brew for a while now, 4 full kegs and 120L in cubes

Kabooby :icon_cheers:

 

[brendanos]

Looks like we now have a dopplebock :icon_chickcheers:

Sounds like an eisbock trying to break free...?

Today I brewed 30L of berliner weiss (1.035) and pitched a slurry of the wyeast blend (thanks kook!), and am currently brewing 4L's of brown ale of comparable specs to fermement with what's left of the slurry.

 

[kabooby]

Sounds like an eisbock trying to break free...?

You read my mind. I was laying awake last night thinking about doing an Eisbock. I have got 40l at the moment and need 21l for the NSW case swap. Its so tempting

[jdsaint]

got 2 brewing Damalt-lager, aussie cascade pale ale
they are KK have not got the gear for all grain, but I use kits n extracts for now.
until I am taught all I need to know about ag, reading is only 50% of the process, with me and my old man making kk's, nobody we know makes ag.

Extract 21L
1.5 amber LME

25 litre boil down to 21.

[Hutch]

My latest keg-filler, based losely on Trough Lolly's Chock a Block Bock (partial mash):

1.7 kg Coopers European Lager kit
2.0 kg Weyermann Munich II
1.0 kg JW Exp. Pils
0.35 kg Weyermann Caramunich I
0.15 kg Weyermann CaraAroma
0.5 kg Light DME
OG - 1.068

17gm NZ Hallertau, 30min boil
Wyeast 2206 500ml slurry.

It's bubbling along nicely at 12deg, and early tasting shows minimal kit twang (I think the Coopers Euro and Bavarian lager kits are quite good in this respect). Minimal hop aroma in kit will suit a Bock, and it was an easy way to get a high OG beer down using a simple kitchen-stove mini-mash.

Hutch.
