What are you brewing II ?

Just saw in your signature you have a Kent Old Brown Ale coming up. Do you have a recipe yet?. My local (work lunch pub) has it on tap...and im very partial to a schooner or two or three

Cheers
Steve

Here is the recipe. Definitely not a clone but more of a "I reckon it'd be in a similar ballpark" kinda brew!! :lol:

Any comments anyone has would be appreciated! :beer:

Brewed a Kolsch based on Tony's Recipe with Pistolpatch yesterday. A HERMS/ BIAB comparison. I subbed the IMC Pilsner with Galaxy. Had a win with the yeast. No stock in WA but Neville at Gryphon Brewing had an out of date Wyeast 2565 which he tossd my way for nicks which fired up nicely in a couple of starters. :super:
Was a very relaxing day with it running smoothly until I commented on how nicely the day was running then my kettle tap blocked and we had all sorts of fun siphoning out of our respective kettles. :angry:
All's well that ends well, the two fermenters were happily bubbling away at 18 in my fridge this morning.
Happy days !
Cheers

This one's going into the keg today. Followed in a couple of days (when there's an empty keg) by another one with hallertauer for bittering. Tasting pretty good from the sample. These are all-grain number 3 and 4. I tried a decoction on AG03, but botched it (didn't raise the temp by much), so I did a single infusion. And I overshot the mash temp on AG04 (user error)... Ahh well, you live and learn.

Bonj, it's that time of year alright mate. Pils served with rice.

That looks mighty fine Adamt, where is the Amber malt from? 20% is quite a bit. But it's your beer.
Pacific Gem is a winner in my mind as well.
What yeast are you going to use?

[Adamt]

It's Bairds' Amber Malt. I liked it very much in another dark ale I brewed, but yeah I might have gone a little overboard Ah well, suck it and see I suppose.

Will be using US-05 as I'm lazy

It's my first time using Pacific Gem but it smells delish!

Cheers.

 

[warrenlw63]

The temptation's too easy to overuse Baird's Amber... As TDA knows I'm hooked on the stuff. :lol:

Love it to bits.

Well, with a forecast of fine weather here on Sunday (knock on wood) I have a couple of starters of Whitelabs Southern German Lager prepared.
Have recently kegged a Bock & a Vienna, so continuing with the lager theme I'm thinking about a Dunkel and something pale (Pils/ Helles). As usual, nothing finalised at this stage. That'll probably happen late the night before.

Interesting beer, NM. Very simple recipe. Looks like it'll be very tasty. You going to add brett?

I'm hoping to get round to a couple of brews this weekend. A porter with mostly German ingredients - altbier yeast, some Munich, Weyermann crystal and chocolate wheat. But then to spoil it I'll add some wheat. And hopefully move across the border for a Biere de Mars.

Will be brewing a German Lager on Saturday morning.... taking advantage of this cold weather! (Still brewing in brew fridge but if I brewed an ale, I'd need to add heat).

Mostly Pilsener malt with a small amount of wheat, Tett/Haller mix for both bittering and aroma, with Bavarian Lager yeast.

edit: doh! no aroma additions with lager, eejit.

Where's the Rye, Jye?

Where's the Rye, Jye?

Sometimes you just have to branch our and try different malts... like wheat

 

[Barramundi]

mashing a small (12litre into ferm) all grain amber ale tomorrow morning... some willamette hops perhaps ... have to inspect the freezer to see whats in stock...

 

[neonmeate]

Interesting beer, NM. Very simple recipe. Looks like it'll be very tasty. You going to add brett?

think i will bottle half the batch then let the other half sit on some brett brux, when i bottle the current brett-pils - guess this one will turn out fairly close to an orval type thing if i do that.

i like belgifying existing styles. most styles improve with a bit of extra phenolics... well most.
