There is nothinh better than inventing your own recipe...... making it, having it turn out perfect and have it crystal clear from the keg on the first pour without filtering.

takes a while but we can help :)

WYeast 3068 Weihenstephan Weizen




I cracked the rye on its own and it wqas a very course crack so i ran it through again......... made it very fine.

Well didnt that make it interesting.

I ended up getting about 86% efficiency for 1.063 which threw out the ballance a bit. It was a bit sweet which judges picked up on. It got a 2ns in te wheat slass at NSW state comp.

bloody hell it was a nice beer though.

cheers

nice looking beer Tony,
well done on the 2nd place, i thought that it would go in the specialty beer category, not that i know anything about comps etc.

mine ended up a bit darker than yours, beautiful, one of my best imho.

Odd amounts there Dave, any reason for 79g Mel, 232g Sugar etc? :unsure: I tend to round the amounts out or are you converting from a Yanky recipe?.
 
Nah no yanky amounts, just scaling it back from TDA's recipe in the recipe section, as well as my shoddy weighing of the grains ;)
 
Miracle on Wunulla St Xmas Case Swap Best

So called because this beer tasted fine going into the fermenter, which was a miracle. Braid manifold issues, crush issues, scale issues....
And yes the green bullet is a little odd but I had inventory issues too...

A moment of weakness Ale :( I have 2 Kg of POR to use and can I go below 1.060?
My first job after 20yrs in the Military was working in a well known brewery up here [they can't spell beer.XXXX] the smell takes me back and I must say we had some good times there. :beer: the staff drinks [at the time] were nothing like what the punters got.

:beerbang: sensational hop usage

it's a tasty mix isn't it steve!
the 250g were plugs via a hopback. i went for 1g/l for 15/10/5 and just bumped up the ibu's for bittering so it was about 35ibu's came out in nice rouded numbers.
i'm going to try and keep this one on tap throughout the chrissy break.

Rob.
 
That is some serious late hopping. Can almost smell it from here. :D :super:
 
Finally got round to getting some of the AG kit together over the weekend. :D

Unfortunately it's only the kettle and burner :(

But that said it was lovely to have a full volume boil (and associated breaks clearly happening) from some real heat as opposed to waiting for an hour for 7 litres to boil on the barbecue burner <_<

So we have an ESB made from around half a kilo of 4 different steeped speciality grains, 3kg of light LME and POR, Spaalt and EKG hops.

Looked a little dark going into the no chill cube but we'll see how it goes.

The kettle went well, attracted strong interest from usually ambilivant junior brewers and SWMBO. I think the "jet engine" burner provided the main source of interest. One downside was the installed ball valve on the kettle being a good 8-10cm from the bottom of the kettle and not enough bits in the garage on Sundy to make a pickup tube meant a little more left inside the kettle than I would've hope but the cube was filled to within a cm or two from the cap so all good from around a 28 litre pre boil
 
Good stuff, Gav. Great that you are getting it all together. :super:

The pickup tube is handy as you now know, but it's fairly easy to put together. (It must be, because I did.)

Interesting hop choice there. Not necessarily bad as I think Spalt is a nice hop, but unusual for an ESB. Were the Spalt for flavour?

You did better than the ISBers in filling your cube anyway. :ph34r:

Top stuff Gav,

have a read of post 5 here for a way to do full batch brews without a HLT. FWIW, Reverse Garbage have some 80L drums which you could use to make a mash tun like the mother of all. I have some insulation leftover so you could get a tun going for less than $40 & a couple of hours work. i can give you the insulation when you come to get that cube.
 
OOh youre so close now Gav... Just a few more items and the mantra AG, AG, AG

Thanks Phil, I've got a HLT (30L urn) and mash tun (esky) and other bits and pieces (braid etc.), which I've been collecting over the previous months, simply a matter of putting them together now. Getting closer............
