Why would you want to ruin a lovely sunny day by brewing a wheat beer :lol:


Because they are tasty and delicious. Don't worry, you and batz can huddle in the corner and mutter in a disgruntled manner.

Nice doppel... you should make it a weizenbock :)

G'day Grant,
Any particular reason you used the torrefied rather than rolled wheat? I think that torrefied gives a slightly toasty flavour to the beer. I use it in Brit ales, but I have a 25 kg bag of rolled wheat here.

N00ch, have you brewed that Schneider clone yet? I'd sure like a taste when it's ready. Prob better than my last one, which scored me the lowest points in the State comp (wheat/ rye). :lol:

Tomorrow, I think, I'll brew the Dampfbier, as I picked up a package of W3068 at the BJCP session yesterday, held at Potters.

Hi Les,

Back in the day I thought it would be cool to brew a heogaarden clone and a few of the recipes I researched used torriefied wheat, so I got some in the grain store and it became the base for this recipe.

It's the first time out for the this one and the first wit I've done so I daresay it will change.

cheers

Busy day today, smacked my wyeast pack up for a Belgian Pale, just waiting for the HLT to reach the mash temp for a Dark Mild and have been down the laundry to tell the Saison yeast to hurry TFU.
 
N00ch, have you brewed that Schneider clone yet? I'd sure like a taste when it's ready. Prob better than my last one, which scored me the lowest points in the State comp (wheat/ rye). :lol:

Nah mate haven't yet. Planned to yesterday but I've been told I have 50 other things to tile, paint and fix around the house more important then brewing :(

Grain is there cracked and ready so fingers crossed it goes down tomorrow and when its done Ill be bottling a few and Ill swing some your way as well as some eisbock I promised you.

I might even enter the Schneider in the B&T comp. Apparently the wheat king has lost it temporarily? :eek: :p Just joking mate, although I am really surprised to not cop a spray from you re the state comp judging sheet you got from me on that beer.

Cheers

I have a big slurry of Wyeast 2000 on a stirplate with 1L of wort to wake it up. Prob nearly 400mL of slurry which in itself is easily enough to ferment a 20L batch but its been in the fridge for 3 months now so its more a wake up call for the yeast than aiming to build up yeast population. Yeast viability and all that jazz.

Will have both of these on tap for the case swap at my place come Dec 13th.

'Re-built' the brewery last night. After 18 months i finally have got rid of everyone elses furniture from my shed so i can set up my brewery in a more permanent setting. Found a nice 1930s sideboard that was my great grandmas to use as a brew bench and with the help of milk crates and the odd occy strap its time to test out the 'new' setup. Hope the move doesnt mess with my efficiency..... :D
 
no, bucks was a couple of weeks ago. But the misses has gone to her mums for the day/night with the "girls", so I did what any HB addict does - fired up the HB gear :D

Just ended up with 88% eff in the kettle :angry: normally this would be a good thing and result in a larger batch however the kettle is absolutely full and Ill need to chuck some wort and dilute :(
 
Hey Jye, why not put it aside and add it to the boil as you lose volume to boil off?

88% good stuff!

Jye, maybe you can save some for starters. Just freeze it and boil it up before use. :)

I've just finished my Xmas Case Saison. Next it's time for a no-chill/chill APA. :D
 
I ended up growing some balls and diluting in the kettle without removing any wort... and OMG it was FULL :D

This still wouldn't decrease the gravity as youre not reducing the amount of sugar... still so much to learn young Padawan :p

And 92% is my record so far, it was also a wheat beer.
 
I forget about you folk that make adjustments and hit gravity targets.
 
Boiling the hops for the my HAG case swap beer behind me

360g of NZ flowers

Yes........... its the Sheep Shagger!

An American IPA made with NZ hop flowers. It was a big hit so im making it again. 46 liters of it.

12.5kg of grain and 360g of hops makes for a fun brew day :)

Oh wow........ the smell of it :)

It would put a horn on a jellyfish!

Had one of those moments when you wander about the intelligence in wearing the vietnamese safety boots whilst brewing.

Not quite what you are thinking tho.

Brewing my golden ale and digging the vegie patch for planting. Had my timer with me so i wouldnt miss hop additions. Realised i was 1 min behind on the 20 min addition so made a sprint for the shed.

Almost there and thought, what did i almost step on then.

Turned around to see a rather unhappy brown snake looking at me.

Faaaaaark. No boots and no shovel in hand.

Thankfully the cheeky bastard slunk away.

Lost a little bit of wee tho. :huh:

So this version is called the Golden Brown Ale. :D

21L in the fermenter with US56 pitched 4.5 hours after i doughed in. And half a vegie patch dug ready for planting.

Was going to make the lager tomorrow but got a call suggesting i attend the ANAWBS presentation tomorrow..................
 
360g of NZ flowers

Holy crap Tony!! Just out of curiousity (for no other reason) how much wort did you lose in the hop cone ?? :eek:

Or were you tempted to press them for an extra 4-6 litres of very hoppy wort? :D
