What are you brewing II ?

[Screwtop]

HFH, have never ever been able to drink 500ml of any previous beer from the fermenter on the way to the keg. Usually have a taste to check, this time I had 500 ml left after filling the keg which I'd collected in a jug. Had a little taste, then another and another, was so good I couldn't stop. This beer is shaping up to be a cracker, interested to see what it's like when fined and carbonated.

[Doc]

Just starting the boil on my Yardglass Session Lite.
Late arvo I'll be mashing in an American Brown. That will bring the tally to 4 brews this week :beerbang:

Yikes! That's impressive Doc! Bit better than my current record of "non-brewing". I reckon in my last 3-4 months I've only brewed a few times. And I just moved into a small-ish unit so the outlook is pretty grim too! Only got around 12 longnecks of HB in stock!

Having said that, I plan to do the following brews over winter:

American Mild
Special Bitter
"Sassy Red" style ale
Bohemian Pils
Boston Lager

Put this recipe from BYO down yesterday, it's my first attempt a the style, and I must thank visiting interstate brewer and exworkmate Head for coming around and finishing off the boil when I was called away 15mins from flame out. Beersmith has always been pretty good for me with the strike water, but with this stepped mash I had to do a lot of scrambling to hit the required temps, a relaxed brewday not.

And to follow that an India Pale Ale.
Kind of using left over hop packets so the hopping schedule doesn't follow any real logic...

Yep possibly one of the nicest beers I've made to date, to my palate, no giveaway that Amarillo or US56 was used.

This is really good.

Well done Screwtop,Yes you can brew "outside the square" and get the required results, you of all people [true to style, tech type etc] , great to see, now to taste it, OK.

 

[Linz]

From memory your system is HERMS isn't it Linz? So probably looking a bit iffy without a pump I guess!

All fixed now...just some grain in the shaft and housing..Thanks to Franko for the exploded view; so I knew if anything fell out of it I knew where to it put back. Impeller seemed awful tight on the shaft...but its running quiet now..LEAVE IT ALONE!!!! <_<

Have you oiled your march Pump recently Linz ?

[Linz]

Not recently...but it was the impeller inside the housing that was tight...the electric motor is very quiet..

Yesterday morning
A Helles to counter the Stout, Porter, ESB's & Strong Ales I've been drinking of late
1.054 18 IBU
5% Carahell
10% Wey. Munich 1
85% Wey. Pils
Acidulated malt to suit
Bittering only addition with NZ Hallertau cones
White Labs German Bock

Change of heart from doing something Scottish - so glad I did.

 

[bindi]

Experimental beer using corn flakes, some sort of lager I think. I know I said "bored with lager" but I like S-189, the one dry yeast that is very good IMO.

4.60 kg Pilsner (Weyermann)
1.20 kg Corn, Flaked
22.00 gm Hallertauer [not enough Saaz]
35.00 gm Saaz [4.00 %] (20 min)
1 Pkgs SafLager German Lager (DCL Yeast #S-189) Yeast-Lager

25+ L pre boil

Hit 48c and 63c so far.

 

[bindi]

Have the worst stuck sparge I have ever had :angry: almost dumped the lot [almost ] and was going to write it off as experience.
Could still happen, not happy.

Edit: Glad I waited, almost there at 22L, 3 and a bit more to hit the target of 25.2L pre boil, now happy.

 

[winkle]

I'll be bunging in the yeast into a Green Bullet Ale as soon as I'm home.
'Almost' had a stuck sparge last nite too
Must remember to tweak the marga settings in preperation for a double batch on Saturday.
