Nice hops Bonj but come on... 8g at 15min :lol:

Harden up and move the 60min hops to 20mins and increase the amount to get your 30IBUs.

[bindi]

Style.........Why, it's beer I like and it's not the usual?
Mashed a Beer yesterday and was going to feed to Wyeast 1335 but a German yeast starter was going off, so it got the feed [a free sample from the Sunshine Coast Brewery awhile back] It's going "Ape sh$t" and chewing it to bits at 17c.

Putting down an Altbier tomorrow.

Short on Spalt so adding some other leftovers to bitter that should fit fairly well. Only a bit of simcoe.... shouldnt be detectable.

I also used up the last of all my crystal malts. I empties them all onto the scales......... weighed them and then worked out how much dark to add to get the colour i wanted. I crack the specialty malts seperately and it smelt fantastic actually. Kind of deep and nutty.

anyway..........

I have a question........... i have very soft water with almost Pilsn qualities.......... what is the general makup of the Altbiers water in Dusseldorf ?

Cheers

[Tony]

Mashed in at 6am..............after going to bed at 1am. <_< I must be mad....... i even set my alarm for 5 to turn on the HLT

Its now 6.30 and im looking at bringing the first decoction to the boil............. mmmmmmmm you should smell that malt!

WOW!

I ended up adding some CaCO3 for some hardness and to control the mash pH a bit. My water is low pH and i get 5.2 with an all pilsnter malt grist. This puppy is almost 30 EBC so will need a lift to avoid tannin release, especially during decoction boils.

cheers

 

[yardy]

planning a 75% rye Roggen with the remainder made up with munich1, havn't checked the hops yet but i'm sure there's something in the store to suit, danstar munich yeast.

cheers
yard

 

[NickB]

Just doughing in my first batch from a few posts up, the Hefe. Was going to play with PH today, but I only have citric acid here and no PH strips, so will just leave it for now. Haven't brewed with water from the Northside of Brissy yet, so it might be all OK!

Cheers

EDIT: Had to change 15g Perle for 30g Saphire in the Hefe hop bill coz I'm an idiot and don't know what I have in the freezer....

I live on the north side as well and a 1/4 teaspoon of citric in 20L should do, usually has my mash sitting at bout 5.2.

hockers

 

[NickB]

Awesome hockadays.... Might give it a shot on brew 2 - the Rogers Clone. Almost half way through the Hefe mash now so probably too late to adjust. Just out of interest, roughly what is the PH out of your tap, and what suburb are you in? (I'm in Ferny Hills)

Cheers

 

[hockadays]

I'm in aspley and ph is usually around 7.4, I only adjust for pale beers as anything with a bit of crystal or dark malt and the ph is normally fine without adjustment.
