Someone has been listening to the Style Show hey Screwy B)

Looks bloody the goods.

Someone has been listening to the Style Show hey Screwy B)

More malty, biscuity, caramely, roasty, bready, toasty than normal Jye :lol:

Changed the bittering hops to Challenger at the last minute (bugger not being able to edit), same bittering alpha value though.

In a bit of an ESB funk of late Wassa

 

[warrenlw63]

Sorry Screwy

I'm up too early with a fuzzy brain. Was your ESB recipe I meant. Bindi goes more alcohol than biscuit. B)

After doing a double batch last weekend im hooked. Thinking about doing a double batch of my KOBA (Kent Old Brown Ale). Here is my recipe for a 23 litre batch:

Kent Old Brown Ale 25 ish IBUs

4.7 kg Maris Otter
300 gm Caraaroma (350 EBC)
25 gm Roasted Malt

33 gm Cluster (60 min) Hop flowers (5.3% AA)
15 gm POR (30 min) Hop flowers home grown eek!
10 gm Fuggles (5 mins) Pellets (5% AA)

Whirlfloc @ 15 mins

Mashed at 68.5 degrees for 60 mins

1 x Nottingham Dry Yeast

Do I just double the grain bill for a double batch? I will be dropping the 5 min hop addition too.
Cheers
Steve

Yep, just double the grain bill. I find I usually get slightly higher efficiency with a double batch. Looks very good, Steve. I think it's a shame to use the homegrown at 30 minutes though. Why not chuck them in a bit later so you get a bit more flavour/aroma from them?

A clone of Dog Fish HEad Midas Touch- gonna try some of the "weird" beers this year

 

[kook]

Got two planned for tomorrrow. First is a starter batch for a few lagers I have planned (the beer itself will go to the inlaws).

Recipe: Aussie Mid Lager
Style: Lite American Lager
Target OG: 1.033
Yeast: WY2487 Hella Bock (10 degrees)
Boil Time: 60 mins

Grist:
89% Weyermann Pils
2% Bairds Med Crystal
9% White Sugar

Mash Schedule: Single Infusion, 60 min at 68 degrees

Hopping Schedule:
15 IBU Super Alpha (60 mins)



Recipe: Brett the Blonde
Style: Belgian Specialty Ale
Target OG: 1.062
Yeast: WY5526 Brettanomyces Lambicus (~ 20 degrees)

I've got a 2L stirred starter of Hella bock ready, and will have a huge pitch of brett slurry for the second brew. Hope this (cooler) weather continues in Perth as I'm going to do the Brett brew in a 100 can cooler with frozen milk bottles.

Big day today - two brews and a bottling done.

Decided to take the day off and brew up a California Common I had the grains for... All went very smoothly, so after packing everything away and lunch with Mrs Bugwan, decided to unpack everything and put down a decent APA. Awesome! Finally bottled my stout too - 41 stubbies worth, with the difference (about 8 litres) in a keg. I decided having bottles would make it last longer, but I forgot how much of a pain bottling is!

I was mashing the first brew (Calif. common) and realised my hop schedule read like a Euro ale - loads of noble hops etc. Weird, I must have mixed up recipes at some stage... A quick trip to G&G saw me back on track with some Northern Brewer.

Devo - the smell of this one coming together was magnificent. I scaled the recipe down and tweaked a bit around my hop inventory...if it tastes as good as it looked/smelled I'll be happy. The yeast cake from the stout looks too good to waste, so I'll dump this on top of that tomorrow. Saves scrounging around for a pack of US56/WY1056... Estimated OG came in a little over the style, but with all the dry hopping I'll be doing, I can't see it being a problem.

Hopefully some posts in the "What's in the Glass" thread in the not-too-distant future...

Cheers!

Hey Chad, where did you source the Liquid Sorghum Extract ?

Sorry, just noticed your post. I got it from Brewers Choice here in Brisbane. $40 for a 2.8kg tub.

 

[Weizguy]

Bottled the 3-day Mild last night.

Brewin' up a competition today at Potters Brewery.

BTW: The public is welcome to attend!!!

Should be a great day.

I've fermented 4 (2 split batches) and bottled 5 beers in the last week.
Been a busy week, all right.
Got my yeast for the Wheat beer 2 days ago and there was no way that it would have been ready to bottle this morning.

If the comp's over today (judging etc), I'll make this one tomorrow...

I am hoping to start cellaring a few big beers and with such a huge hit of roast grains, and a relatively high hop bitterness this one will probably be drinking well in a few years! :lol:
Time to go stir the big black gooey mess thats in my mash tun.
