800g BB caramalt (16%)
450g Bairds crystal (9%)
220g Bairds dark crystal (4.5%)

No particular style, cream or blonde ale I guess. Just wanted to use the rest of my Galaxy. What a wonderful smelling hop. :icon_drool2:

Ive got two brews going at the mo, a Mexican Cerveza, not my preferred style but my neighbour is a manager at brewcraft, so I get the dented cans for free :D

The Cerveza's just the kit can, and a brewcraft #15 brewblend, plus some saflager yeast... Final volume 22 litres, nice and easy...

The other one im doing is my first batch using specialty grains,

I used Muntons Nut Brown Ale - 1.8kg
500grams of Dark dried malt extract
450grams of dextrose
200grams of chocolate malt
150grams of crystal malt
15 grams of roast barley
16 grams fuggles bittering hops
7 grams hallertau finishing hops
2 x packets of muntons gold yeast

Cos it was my first specialty grain batch I went out and got a strainer that was too fine, which resulted in me losing some of my specialty malt wort :( stink, but hopefully it should still be tasty... Thoughts??? :rolleyes:

Cheers

Want it to finish as low as possible, hmmm sugar or yeast, sugar or yeast, think I'll go yeast!

Didn't want to sacrifice body by mashing low.
 
Firing up the new 100 litre pot and spiral burner for a porter.

Having replumbed every other connection too it will probably be an afternoon of drip fixing.

Hey Enoch,
what is the idea of a temperature guage in your kettle?

cheers

It started because I didn't have a heated HLT so needed to heat sparge water in the boiler then transfer to the HLT.
Subsequently I have gone to the Jamil recirculating cooling method so I can easily hit lager temps and sterilise the pump and full circuit with boiling wort resulting in less things to sanitise.
 
Just brewed a CAP, and its the best smelling wort i have had chilled in the kettle in a long time!

52 liter batch

7.5 kg Weyermann Bohemien Pils
2.5 kg Flaked Maize
600g Weyermann Carahell
600g Weyermann Carapils
100g Weyermann Acidulated
500g (5 liters volume) Rice Gulls

40g saphire FWH in 90 min boil
90g Cluster @ 45 min to go
50g Saphire flame out

1 tspoon kopafloc 10 min to go.


mashed in at 52 deg @ 2l/kg for 20 min
infused with boiling water to 55 deg for 90 min (to help convert the corn)
Slow 2 hour fly sparge
Got 85% efficiency after setting recipe at 75 % :rolleyes: was aiming for 1.050 and got 1.058.

so in the end i got

52 liters of 1.058, 42 IBU, 6 EBC wort

Smells fantastic as i said before. Love the Saphire! and even the cluster......... what a great hop. i could have eaten it from the pack.

All in all a great brew day.

Pitching it on a fresh yeast cake of WLP 833 German bock yeast tonight.

cheers
 
Good day

Brewed a rauchbier and Bopil this morning, a no sparge doppelbock and bock (second runnings) last Thursday, a Vienna and Munich Dunkel last Monday. Back to work tomorrow :(
 
Preperation for the comp season carpet bombing barry?

Your a hard man to beat......... sounds like lots of quality beers.

What gravities did the bocks come out at mate?

cheers
 
No fridge yet, so make lagers while the cold winds blow.
OG's were 84 and 64, could have een higher but I finished 50 mins earlier than usual so that was some compensation. Efficiency was 72% rather than 83% but it is usually lower for high gravity beers for me anyway. Had 9 kgs in each of the two mash tuns (Two Tun Doppelbock). Should be ready to drink this time next year. :beer:
 
Sounds good.

I made a Dobbelbock to 1.106 and its taking its time to become palateable

12 months really sees big beers like this shine hey

cheers
