[AndrewQLD]

Sunday a mate and I put down 3 brews,
Bosun Best Bitter
Australian Ale
Smoked Robust Porter

The day went really well, mashed in at 10.30am cleaned up by 5.00pm. It certainly is time efficient doing multiple brews.

Cheers

jeeze... I need to work out where I'm losing all my time on brew days, it takes me nearly that long to do a single batch

 

[3GumsBrewing]

Two brews this coming weekend - Belgian Pale Ale and Belgian Strong Dark Ale.
Managed to find Belgian candi sugar, dark and clear for the brews.
Using WLP500 for both.

Can't wait to try them in a few months time!

[boingk]

Hoping to put something down this weekend - probably a TCB Wetpak of Classic Oak Ale...seeing as I went out and bought the kit :lol:

3kg liquid malt extract, 150g grain, 100g oak chips, Safale yeast, and hop pellets for $30 neat. I think I've been converted...

 

[Ross]

Put this one down today as well... Ended up using more different hops than planned at the end, but using up some end packs...

Brewed my xmas in July Schwartzbeir this morning.
Mashed in at 4.30am and chilling now.
Made one blunder of adding my 20min hop addition at 40min :angry:
Only adds a couple of IBU so hopefully will still turn out great.
Wlp 833 starter bubbling away nicely waiting to be pitched.
Just about to rack NRB's Amarillo Ale.

 

[oldbugman]

Going to make a double batch of my AAAle (Amarillo)
Might got a couple of IBU higher this time

Currently brewing up a Smoked Robust Porter. It's been off tap for two weeks now and I'm going through withdrawls, guess that I'm an addict.

 

[Millet Man]

Brewing up 2 20lt batches of brown ale to compare grain bill variations, fine tuning the recipe and hope to punch out a 3,500 lt batch next month.

Cheers, Andrew.

Going great so far. Mash tun kept temp well, burner is efficient enough. Gee cracking grain takes a while though...

Plus 5+ kg of cracked grain takes up a bit of room...

This was another of the little things I hadn't really considered...

So far I love it but my wife is going to hate it, good naturedly, she already refers to herself as a beer widow

Certainly makes for a longer brew day but I really don't care!

Hey Ben,
Taking the IBU's up to 44 with POR was a brave move on such a low alc... Here's hoping it doesn't make it too bitter. I look forward to trying it

cheers Ross

I've adjusted the recipe on the fly Ross, moved a little more of the hops to the end and shortened the boil by 5 minutes.
Plus you know me Ross, I'm happy to try things a little different

More on the 40 side now so hopefully should be OK.

I like to have my fruity ales balanced by a nice bitterness underneath... We will see anyways.
