Preparing for brewday tomorrow.
A Gose
Just been chewing on some of the Acidulated Malt. It is yummy :beerbang:

Doc
 
Recipe: Brett the Blonde
Style: Belgian Specialty Ale
Target OG: 1.062
Yeast: WY5526 Brettanomyces Lambicus (~ 20 degrees)
Boil Time: 60 mins

Grist:
65% Weyermann Pils
35% Barrett Burston Ale

Mash Schedule: Single Infusion, 60 min at 66 degrees

Hopping Schedule:
17 IBU Styrian Goldings (60 mins)

Ended up changing the hopping schedule on this as follows:

20 IBU Williamette (60 mins)
1g/L Styrian Goldings (10 mins)

Figured a it'd be better balanced out a bit more, plus some flavour hops wouldn't harm it either :)
 
Sparging the Gose right now.
Thats right 6:44am and on to the sparge.
Anyone else remember that daylight savings finished last night, but forgot to change their alarm clock when they went to bed ? :p
5am mash in :beerbang:

Just put down my Wacky Nana Wheat beer for the July QLD case swap.
Smelt fantastic with the bananas on the boil.

Also put down a Blackrock Cider for the father out law.
 
Today I'm brewing a Weissbier and a variant of warrens 4 shades stout.
 
...well I butchered the weissbier due to the incorrectly adjusted false bottom of my new kettle. reVox was there to witness as the disaster unfolded.

Hey Screwtop,

How do you find the JW Dark crystal? I was thinking of getting this next time instead of the regular crystal and just using less.

Kabooby :)

Totally different flavour, try chewing some and then try chewing a lower SRM crystal. It's quite complex and fruity in comparison. I think it helps balance higher BU's,
 
34.12 gm Saaz ...... Pumpy...... i would have used 34.16g to acheive ballance. It will only be good for tipping out.

WLP 833......... what an awsome yeast. I has some but it got infected like lots of other great yeasts i bought in the last few months.

Cant afford fresh liquids so cheap dried yeasts it is untill im confident infections are gone.

I just bottled my 1.106 Dobbelbock last night after being brewed in November last year. It sat in secondary for a few months till i got sick of it beimg in the way. I even fed it a bit of fresh US-05 as i didnt trust the yeast in the brew to carb. It was all black and dead looking.

cheers

Thanks mate, I will give it a go
 
Just about to mash in another batch of Porter. I will be brewing a Stout later in the week that will be pitched on the slurry of the Porter. The rest of the day will be spent working on my 4 head counter pressure filler, & their won't be any pics posted of that anywhere! :)
I might throw a couple of IPA type ales through, just to see how they go too.
Cheers

Well another day, another brew. The postie arrived at lunch time with a nice selection of hops. (Big thanks to Kev & Janet @ Kirrawee Home Brew Shop, great service as always). This afternoon I am brewing yet another pale ale, which will be followed tomorrow by another version of the same beer. The hopping schedule is pretty much the same on these two, but the grain bill will change. Should be interesting drinking/research over the next few weeks. Another plus is that all the spent grain has our backyard looking great.
Cheers

Doing an AG demo for a friend who wants to get into it - Was going to do a bitter as he is a Pom - but went and had a look in my hop fridge and GLARING at me was a packet of Simcoe a packet of Centennial and a packet of Amarillo.

Hopburst it is then :beerbang:

1kg Brew enhancer 2
500g light dry malt
250g Maltodextrin
