What are you brewing II ?

[NickB]

Ahh ok, you're a champion!

Shall see if the 1/4 tsp made any difference to the Rogers Clone when it's ready to drink... Might not have, but I'm sure it can't have hurt!

Cheers

 

[browndog]

Just mashed in a Denny Conn's Rye IPA, if this beer tastes as good as it looks on paper, it's going to be fantastic.

Added the yeast to this double batch 6 days ago, kegged n gassed overnight, just sampling now and I have to say im very happy.

Nelsons Liberty Thingemejig

40litre batch.

3kg Golden Promise
6kg BB Galaxy
40gms Roasted Malt

49gms Nelson Sauvin flowers (13%AA) at 60 mins
15gms Liberty pellets (4.5%AA) at 30, 15 & 5
2 Whirlflocs @ 15 mins

Mashed @ 66 degrees

2 x sachets of dry SO4

OG 1044
FG 1012

Darker than expected, looks like an APA but has that sharp, dry, spicy, tangy flavour of a lager or pils. A very (very) easy tasty quaffer. May even make it into the recipe section.

Cheers
Steve

Edit:

Whilst im here i'll share this little doofer with you too that im currently drinking

Styrian Porter (no idea if it fits the bill of a porter but I dont really care)

Brewed on 19 April

50gms Northern Brew @ 60 mins
25gms Styrian Goldings @ 20
10gms Styrian Goldings @ 5

2 x Whirlflocs @ 15mins

2 x Nottingham ale dry yeast

Mashed @ 68 for 60 mins

A very tasty dark brown (red when held up to the light), malty, chocolaty ale.

Thank goodness for double batches.

Cheers
Steve

Best of luck NickB, hope it all goes well...

[NickB]

Thanks Ross.... Had a bit of a sleep in so it might be late finish.

I'm using a modified double decoction schedule I found to emulate the triple decoction - essentially pulling 60% of your mash first up, resting at sacc temp, then adding however much you need back to the main mash to reach the 52C temp. Then you continue to boil the remainder of the decoction, adding it a little later to bring up to sacc rest at 62C. If you have any leftover, it is then cooled to the 62C and added in later. Then a third pull of mainly liquid to mash out with.

Should be fun!!!!

Cheers

 

[winkle]

Sounded like fun Nick.
I'm mashing in a 'Batz's Altbier' ATM to recover from work.
Second batch of Irish Red goes down tomorrow - so I'd better find some bottles for the first batch. <_<

Oh mate, that recipe looks tops! Did an all first gold bitter not long ago, and the keg lasted all of a week... But I think the addition of Challenger could only make things better.... Might have to re-shuffle my list of "To Brew" beers......

I'm a big First Gold fan. I made a very similar recipe to this with First Gold / Goldings but thought I'd try the challenger this time...
I hope it isn't too nice as I am giving most of it away to you guys.
This is my case swap beer if all goes according to plan...

Want to clarify, this recipe was originally EKG with added Styrian Goldings to add some complexity to the single hop, hopped to style the beer should be malt and yeast (low level diacetyl) focused.

To my palate straight EKG hopped beers at low IBU's can seem hop boring, I like more hop complexity.

Last minute change as my liquid yeast didn't fire. Used 05 and added a touch of Amarillo @ 40 min to provide some fruitiness. It's a touch high in IBU's for style too, but would be hard to pick using EKG. Changed the hops but forgot to change the yeast in the post above, too late to edit now.
