What are you brewing II ?

[ausdb]

Forget the super alpha.

20g NS and 10g DS at 15 min
40g NS and 20g DS at flame out

Bitter with the pacific hallertau at 45 min to make up 24 IBU total with all the late hops in there.

and halve the acid malt addition. I find 100g in a pale beer works perfect. but that depends on how high your water pH is that your trying to drop. The rest of the malt bill looks tops.

Cheers Tony,
No can do on getting the acid malt out its mixed in the bucket!

How many IBU do you figure on the flame out / off boil addition? This is where I have come unstuck in the past as I have counted them as 0 IBU's (promashh)and thrown a bucket load in yet the finished up way overbittered.

 

[Tony]

i always count all my flame out 0 min addition as zero IBU.

put them in at 2 min from flame out and it will register a bit of bitterness if your worried.

I think it has a lot to do with how quick you chill it. once the temp drops under 80 or 90 deg you will stop adding any bitterness to the beer. I usually add my flame out addition when i crank up the chiller so as soon as they hit the wort its cooling down.

These NZ hops have a fantastic smooth nitterness anyway so i wouldnt worry too much

cheers

 

[Weizguy]

I must be mad.

Im up at 5:30 AM, showered and dresses and mashing in on a Maibock. Going a decoction mash schedule and as its being brewed for a comp im going to have to keep the herbs and spices secret for a few months.

this will be my first mash paddle entry in a few years if it works out. It will also be my HAG case swap beer.

the only thing im putting in it that isnt from germany is the water

cheers

mad,...and flaming...
Oh I know...dresses, dresses, so many dresses to choose from.

You may not need to keep the herbs secret as no-one else has the same brew rig and skill set (and experience) you have, so they can't exactly duplicate your beer. Just a thought!

 

[Tony]

Im going to ignore you picking on my crap typing skills...... again

All right.... all right...... here it is.

Aus - I have a little experience with these hops - add centennial and thats about all I use :super:

This is a pils that I did - the one for the Xmas case. Used D Saaz and a smidge of Amarillo (which was a last minute 20 gm flameout addition).

I would make this again - and substitute the Amarillo with Nelson - maybe go 40 gms at flameout. From my experience late NS is better than early NS. D Saaz for bittering worked really well.

I would aim for 35 IBU's - this one was overbittered just slightly - I did whirlpool for 2o minutes.

Totally agree with Tony - use the Acid Malt sparingly.

As far as nice hop flavour and aroma - dont think you will struggle there -

Just my 2c

Im sure it will be awesome.

Cheers RM have a look through the Chrissy case post I finally drank your beer and really enjoyed it a few nights ago.

I mus admit I have used that level of acid in every blonde ale / 'kolsch like I have made so just went with it.

I must admit I am scared sh!tless of the late additions tho! because if you remember my lost mojo blonde ale from the chrissy case it was WWAAAYYYYYY overbittered for what should have been sub 30 IBU's and my hopping schedule for a 30L batch is below.

Lost Mojo Blonde Ale
Hops
Amount Name Form Alpha IBU Boil Time
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
30 g. Hallertauer Pellet 4.50 14.5 60 min.
55 g. Czech Saaz Plug 3.30 6.0 20 min.
35.00 g. Hallertauer Pellet 4.50 5.8 20 min.
20 g. Czech Saaz Whole 3.30 0.0 0 min. (off boil)
25 g. Hallertauer Pellet 8.00 0.0 0 min. (off boil)
56.00 g. Czech Saaz Whole 3.30 0.0 0 min. (Hopback addition)
​

But I guess the off boil additions did steep for quite a while as the wort was run off through the hopback, I did throw them in before I whirlpooled then ran off through the plugs in the hopback.

The hopback will stay on the shelf for this brew!

And I will probably just bitter with the D Saaz as I still havent worked out which hop is which of the leftover Super Alpha and the NZ Hallertauer from the Great Iron Brewer Hops mixup of 2007

Dont know where the haze would have come from?? Never to mind.

Really interested in your final recipe Darren - I have had a couple of really good beers with the D Saaz - alll sorts of Stonefruits and Nectarine in particular. Make sure you share the recipe and the findings.

[winkle]

Just finished a double batch of weizen.
50% BB ale malt
50% BB Wheat
mashed at 65 c
got a effing stuck sparge on the second despite using rice gulls??
will pitch the yeast (dry munich) tomorrow morning at sparrow fart.
crap is that the time

 

[Tony]

I usually use 1 liter volume of rice gulls to each Kg of wheat malt in the grist....... works well.

I have a 2 liter jug i use for brewing so if i use 4kg of wheat malt, i put 2 full jugs in the grist.

how much did you use winkle?

cheers

 

[winkle]

Not enough mate ie, four big mitts full in both. The first one snuck through - just, I think you've got it right and its not as if their expensive.

 

[Dave86]

Just put my ANZAC biscuit ale into the fridge to cool. Not sure wether to use US-56 or windsor in this one, mashed high (69) for the lack of crystal malts, as I wanted this one to be a bit sweet and I figure the amber and brown (and 80g of choc!) should probably dry it out a bit. Any suggestions for which of these yeasts to use?

Cheers and beers

Dave

I've decided to do an IPA weighing in at 66 IBU's. Prepared my malt and the HLT is set to get strike temp over night so I can hit it first thing Satdee morning.

 

[goatherder]

I'm due for a change after a run of malty type beers. Time for some hops.

LCPA Inspired Fibonacci XPA

23l batch

75% IMC Ale Malt
20% JW Munich
5% English Dark Crystal

Mash at 67 for 60min to 1.050

2 US Cascade plugs at 40min
2 US Cascade plugs at 25min
10g Chinook pellets at 15min
10g Chinook pellets at 10min
10g Chinook pellets at 5min
2 US Cascade plugs at 5min
Rest of the bag of Chinook pellets at flameout and maybe dry hops too
Should be somewhere between 40 and 50 IBUs

US-05 at 18 for a couple of weeks then drink it as soon as it's gassed.

i haven't found any need to burtonise an English bitter. Leave it for an IPA...otherwise the recipe looks nice.
