1.089 [refrac 21.8] well done, don't you just love it when you "nail it". ^_^
Love it, but a little surprised, too. :rolleyes: ...due to historical low efficiency on big beers.

Poured the jerry-can contents onto a yeast cake from my Schneider weisse clone tonight.
In order to avoid massive loss due to foaming/ too much yeast/ blow-off, I stirred the beer into the yeast cake and then split the batch across 2 fermentors. Should be nice for the HAG case swap, but may need some maturation time.
That's what I'm brewin'! :D
 
Just kegged my Pliny the Elder clone.

I have also found the limit of dry hopping :beerbang:
If you look carefully at the following picture you can see the shadow of the yeast and hop trub in the fermenter.
PlinyTheElder_004.jpg
180gr of dry hops 100 of which was Tomahawk and the other 80gr was a mix of Chinook and Simcoe.

This is the drained fermenter.
You can't see that tap :p

The aroma is awesome.

Just squeezed the cube on an alt beer. Hoping it'll be ready for the fabulous ISB comp :rolleyes: but it'll only just be ready I guess. Hoping to get in another session tomorrow but haven't quite decided what to do. Porter or ESB or pilsner. Decisions can be fun. :)

Just bottled my 'Fuggley Ale':

Coopers Real Ale goop,
1500g light liquid malt extract,
500g Crystal grain,
12g Fuggles @ 20min,
12g Fuggles dry in secondary for a week.
(S-04 yeast).

Biggest use of grains to date in one hit, and I liked it! Thinking heavily towards Partial/AG here...

Stout coming up, will probably be something like this:

Tin of goop,
1500g Dark liquid malt extract,
500g Crystal grain,
300g Chocolate grain,
100g Black patent grain,
20g Goldings @ 20min,
20g Goldings dry in secondary for a week.
(S-04 yeast, made to 18L)

I know its not up to AG standards but any suggestions would be appreciated.

Cheers - boingk

That seems like a lot of Carafa for 22l Kai, I have found it very strong and overpoweringly chocolatey, but if thats your thing....

I've never used III but II has always been fairly bland in my experience. The wort going into the kettle was a lot lighter than I was expecting for 350g of dark grain; it's brown rather than black. Maybe roy gypped me :ph34r:

Just drew off a sample from the kettle, at this stage it doesn't seem to strong.
 
heres what i have planned for tomorrow
barlssouthernpils.jpg
 
brewed a Scottish 70/- today. Base Golden promise, 2.2% caraaroma, 2.2% Roast Barley. 1.038, Bittered with EKG to 20 IBU

Tommorow is 50 liters or classic Rauchbier with 40% Rauchmalz, munick, pils, caramunich 2, caraaroma and some Carafe spec 2. 1.056, bittering to about 28 IBU with SAAZ! and a bit at the end for the hell of it.

Also mashing and no chilling a Belgian DDDDDDDubbel. GP, Munich 2, Caramunic 2 and caraaroma. Sugar will be added later. 1.068, 20 IBU with NZ Styrian goldings flowers at 45 min, 15 min and flame out. 3787 yeast.

ooooooooo i cant wait for tham all!

cheers

edit: 1.068, not 1.086
