2 kegs worth of ordinary bitter - 1.038, ready in time for Australia Day (maybe)

dont often do double batches so I am going single infusion today to make life easy - must get a bigger kettle, the 47-48 I can get in my converted keg just isn't quite enough for a full double batch... think I need a 60-65

so a somewhat concentrated brew diluted back to drinking strength post boil.

1st brew for 2009 and its an extract for a mate.

He escaped from his missus' baby shower so it was the least i could do.

He was after a dry, crisp lager.

Bit of a bitsa recipe - used up some open hops and gave him the last of the Wyeast 2000 yeast cake.

2.25 kg Light Dry Malt Extract (5.9 EBC) Dry Extract 80.36 %
0.20 kg Caramunich II (Weyermann) (124.1 EBC) Grain 7.14 %

1 Pkgs Budvar Lager (Wyeast Labs #2000)

21L
OG 1.043
IBU 24
EBC 12

The sugar is there to dry it out a bit and the caramunich and carapils to add some body.

Finally got around to cleaning the kettle, 40+ brews worth of beerstone gone in minutes with caustic. Forgot how shiny it was when i bought it :icon_chickcheers:

I've never made a full extract beer so i hope my thinking on this is ok. In the back of my mind i am worried that 7% caramunich might have been a bit heavy handed. He wanted some munich in there but we didnt have time for mashing. Will the sugar addition counteract it enough? Aiming for the lower end of the abv to reduce the body as well.

Brewed this last Saturday as a First brew for 2009, infact for 3 months sadly.

3kg Galaxy
3kg Vienna

20g Super alpha (11%) FWH

Anybody used "Summer Saaz" ?
Craft brewer describes it as passionfruit? melon flavour.
The aroma from the boil seem to have a Saaz character, but also a kind of POR thing happening as well? (I think :unsure

Cheers,

[drsmurto]

Noticed a few Adelaideans are using White labs yeast.

Are you getting that locally or online?

WLP833 is one i have noticed being used quite frequently......

 

[Tony]

Dr............. 833, IMHO, is the best lager yeast available.

I love it.

I use it just about anything.

CAP, Vienna. OCtoberfest, Munich Dunkel, Schwarzbier, Bock's of course, German Pils and more. GOing to try it in a Boh Pils soon.

It leaves the beer with a malty profile but lifts the hops as well. It also gets 80% attenuation and drops like lead when its done.

I love it.

cheers

Just put the fermenter in the fridge for this one.
The mash had a glorious smell as soon as I had doughed in, no doubt due to the Maris Otter.
Hit all my targets spot on, and had the easiest sparge I've yet had to date.
As soon as it's down to pitching temperatures, I'll inoculate it with a starter of WY1469.

Brewing a slight variation of my LCBA clone today.

Varied due to lack of both pale wheat and vienna malt. Went with carahell and dark wheat for some malt backbone under the hops.

Also slight variation in hopping schedule and upped the bitterness a bit......... i like my beer bitter.

Hey kabooby,

Liquid calcium sulfate is this a mistake? If not whats the weight equivalent in the dried form?

No mistake, I add 100g of gypsum to 2 litres of water and let it sit, all the crap goes to the bottom. This allows me to use a clear calcium solution. 200ml is only 10g but it raises my calcium up over 50ppm and lowers my ph

Kabooby

 

[Jye]

When ever Ive added calcium sulfate straight to water it doesnt dissolve and sinks to the bottom, this is why I always add it to the mash and the already reduced mash pH helps it dissolve.

Are you sure its not all dropping out of solution?

 

[mje1980]

Hi mje1980,
How does the tettnanger go campared to POR.(just curios)

Malbur, it is really really smooth. It went from 1.045 to 1.006, and i think it could use a little more bitterness, but other than is a good first attempt at an aussie ale, CPA style ale. I'll put more hops in next time, probably some FWH, my fave, not too much though.

 

[kabooby]

When ever Ive added calcium sulfate straight to water it doesnt dissolve and sinks to the bottom, this is why I always add it to the mash and the already reduced mash pH helps it dissolve.

Are you sure its not all dropping out of solution?

I have found that it is still dropping the PH to the required level. I make up a bottle and shake it around, some of it disolves and some of it sinks to the bottom.

No harm in adding it straight to the mash either I suppose, I just thought all that other crap in gypsum would be better of at the bottom of the bottle than in my beer.

i use a few tspoons of it in english beers and never have white powder drop in my glass.

Well my brew day went well. BEer smels great and is cooling down in the fridge.

Hit targers but all those hop flowers held back a liter or more of precious beer.

I was wringing it out like a wet dish cloth as i cleaned them out.

THats their only downfall.

Might have to build a bigger hop flower basket so i can drain them before empting the kettle.

Tony - I assume you are still capturing what was wringed out for future starters, etc?

8 days till my first AG, cant wait!!!

 

[Tony]

No..... for starters i catch the trickle that still comes out of the mash tun for 1/2 hr after you finnish sparging.

I get a couple of liters at 1.020, boil it down for 20 min and chill.

Free starters.

Do you know how many years i paid for dry malt extract and threw my free starters in the bin or gargen with the grain!

good luck with your first brew mate.
