What are you brewing II ?

[drsmurto]

I think you should supplement the weakness of your mild with this ale at the case swap

The Dark Mild isnt as weak as i had planned. First 'trial' batch was 2.6% abv. Efficiency went thru the roof (extra 4 points) plus lower mash temp and a 4h ro mash resulted in a whopping 3.5% abv.

Tastes damn nice all the same. Will be bottling it instead of keg then bottles so free 1187 ringwood samples for all.

Am loving this yeast! Might even have a shot at The Old Pecilier with it next.....

I think BYB will have a keg of Hobgoblin at the swap, if not, will happily bring my keg along! :icon_drunk:

Cheers

Knocked over a half liter bottle of iodophor under the stand and boiler whilst boiling the wort what a mess.

If all goes well I'll be brewing up a version of Warrens 'Just a Trickle' Mild tonight.
Followed by a Smoked Robust Porter and a Tripple (provided I've sorted out the sugar additions by then).

It's new to me also, smells great great in the boil, the samples I have tried that were fermenting and when kegging [now in CC] were a little like Hallertauer or is it Fuggle, Nugget, a mix :huh: ? A little hard to pick but very nice, will let you know when it's on tap.

Hopefully I'll get time to put down this tripple.

Last weekend put up the tarp and mashed a Baltic Porter in the rain.
1.080 32IBU. Glad I don't often hand crank 8kg through the Valley Mill!
This weekend - no mashing - but just wondering now if I have enough small bottles to put it into when it's done!
Should be ready about XMAS time.

is the other 5% of the grain bill a secret?

 

[Frank]

I think the other 5% is Hops by the look of the Hop Bill...

 

[Stuster]

How does everyone measure there hops????? i can never accuratly do it

I've got some scales which are supposedly 1g accurate. I'm sure they're less but they're accurate enough to weigh hop additions. There are always plenty on ebay. Not sure which buyer it was from but the brand is Soehnle and they're much better than the trash I got the first time I got scales. Mine do up to 5kg so I use them for hops and grains but another option is to get the ones which only go to 100g but at 0.1g accuracy which you can then use for you cocaine as well.

Edit: Or I guess you could use them for water chemistry stuff as well. ^_^

Will drop the fuggles.

Im excited!

Going to replace 1kg ale for 1kg Wey smoked malt :huh:

 

[Stuster]

Good luck with that one, yardy. Hope it doesn't all end in tears.

Steve, I'm sure it'd be good with the smoked. Sounds yum to me. :chug:

No brewing for me today, but just pitched some steam yeast on a Munich Dunkel. Hoping it'll make it good and malty.

 

[jimmyjack]

Just mashed in Belgian Golden Strong Ale. The Stryrian Goldings smell unbelieveable, first time using flowers. I felt the need to go and pick the stems out reminds me of my college days.

Cheers,

apologies to Danstar

I was expecting some fun with the sparge ( $hitting myself actually :lol: ) but you wouldn't believe how smoothly it all went.

the aroma of an all Rye boil is awesome, I'll post up some details of how it went for any of those who are interested.
