This little number is cracked and ready to go in the morning:

Oatmeal Stout
77% Maris Otter
8% Uncle Toby's Quick Oats
6% Baird's Pale Choc
5% Roast Barley
4% Baird's Dark Crystal
Mash at 67 to 1.060
Some English type hops to 36 IBUs at 60 and 15
Wyeast 1469 at 18 for a couple of weeks

 

[Tony]

Sounds tops mate......... the 1469 is definatly suited to a dark beer!

was thinking of making an old ale type of beer and fermenting it at 16 to 17 with the 1469 and leaving it in the bottle for a couple of years to age out.

See how it goes.

Ahhhh too many beers to brew.

cheers

 

[Weizguy]

so I collected + sparged slowly. Slower than usual and may have achieved over 92% extract efficiency.
Boo-yaa for the new mill, I reckon.

The mild looks dark enough, so I didn't add any dark grains to adjust the colour.
It's quite biscuity and dryish. Let's hope it works well with W1187...but what beer doesn't? [that's a rhetorical question for those ****s who'd want to answer it].

Goatherder, I refuse to limit myself to spelling and grammar.
Tony, I hear ya...too, too many brews

Hey Warren........... if you deselect all the tick boxes in promash before you copy to clipboard you get a simple report without all the **** noone cares about

Too much like hard work!

I must confess I alway find the water report part a bit borin' :lol:

I included the mash schedule because I did similar (but not exactly the same) to the BDG mash schedule stipulated in Farmhouse Ales. I'm hoping to get some really good attenuation.

55 degrees for 20 mins
62 degrees for 45 mins
68 degrees for 15 mins
mashout.

This one is a real ****** Yard, but worth it. Have to stir every 15 min during rests and steps as the flour packs down the grainbed nearly stopping the flow through the HERMS. Approaching mashout, once the mash reaches above 70 the wort is much lower in viscosity and flows really well, surprisingly the sparge goes through without sticking or slowing.

Cheers,

Spot on Yardy, I just ran them through with the rest. You can probably get away with not crushing them at all.

Tomorrow;

Trippin' out Tripel

Batch size: 19L
Est OG: 1090
IBU: 27
Boil time: 90 min

6.00 kg Bohemian Pilsener
1.00 kg Vienna
0.50 Muscavado sugar (day 3 of ferment)
0.50 Muscavado sugar (day 4 of ferment)

15g Northern Brewer @ 90 min
1 Plug of Styrian Goldings @ 30 min
2 plugs of Czech Saaz @ flameout

Fermented at 20C with Wyeast 1388

Didn't end up brewing this one until the Sunday and racked it tonight. OG was 1075 from the grain and I didn't have time to take readings before and after the sugar additions. Looking at it now in secondary it has a fantastic colour and tastes really good, big malty profile but maybe a bit too much alcohol warming from the sugar, but that may settle with bottle conditioning. It's sitting at 1035 at the moment and I'm hoping it'll get down to the 1015-1012 mark in a week or two. It's been sitting at 20C, but I'm wondering wether to leave it here or cool it slightly for the rest of the ferment?

 

[NickB]

Brewing MKII of my Rogers Clone tomorrow, and unlike some forum members, I really like a good, flavourful midstrength ale!

1.10kg BB Ale
1.00kg BB Galaxy
1.00kg Weyermann Munich
350g Bairds Med Crystal
150g CaraAroma
100g CaraRed

20g Newport @ 60 mins
25g Cascade @ Flameout
Koppafloc

Mash @ 69C

OG: 1.038
FG: 1.009
US-05 yeast @ around 18C

Should be just a touch better than the on-tap version, with (I'm hoping) slightly more Cascade in the flavour and aroma!

Cheers!

Got my first FULL AG brewed yesterday arvo and i'll give you one guess at what I brewed.

I set my effeciency to 65% but still fall 5 points short.

I still haven't got my chiller sorted so I went the cube option, then i had a ******* of a time when I had to put the lid on the willow water container. The heat from the wort softend the thread and the cap would not seal and I ended up having air in the cube. :angry:

So I had a very eventfull arvo and can't wait for my next one, I think I'll get a vienna ready for barbie season.

Just pitched my yeast and cant wait to taste the spoils. :icon_cheers:

 

[Weizguy]

Schooey, don't cool your Belgian yeast until you want it to go into a coma.
They are sensitive to temp decrease, drop out and can't be revived.
Just some thoughts...
