3Kgs Pils
1Kgs Steamed White Rice
Cluster @ 60 to 20IBU
W34/70

Never brewed with Rice before, should be a laugh. It's going to be a cubed, no-chiller too so I'm hoping for the best.

G'day Fourstar,

Thanks for the vote of confidence!

How do you use the rice? Do you use flaked rice or plain rice? I have given plain rice a go for this and just cooked the kilo up with a 1:2 rice to water ratio till nice and gluggy and added it to the mash.

JS.

yardy, yes I have twice before. last time was in 2006. the rye gives it a great taste, a bit sourish from memory. This is actually one of my favorite beers but unfortunately I do not brew enough.

This one I'm using a dry US 56. Previously I have used Thames Valley Ale Yeast II (Wyeast Labs #1882) and Dry English Ale (White Labs #WLP007).

Mine were also based on Denny's recipe as well.

The 3 Roggens were US56, WB06 & T58 Belgian, can't remember what the Denny rip-off was but i think I'll try yours with Notts and see how it goes.

I recon Wyeast 1272 American Ale II would work great in the above beer!

It shits all over US-05.

I like US-05 and keep it in my fridge as a "oh shit the yeast is dead" backup but the 1272 is a great yeast.

Not quite as dry and a touch more character. Perfect for a Rye IPA!

cheers

These cascade are the Aussie ones which are pretty crap IMHO.

Not sure what yeast I will be using with this but there is a good chance I will throw it on the cake of the previous one.

Just an easy K&B to start off the year, followed by a more intriguing Schwartzbier-type thing made up from stuff lying around and found in the back of the cupboard:

22L vol - kit yeast
Coopers Wheat 1.7kg,
500g LDME/300g Dextrose,
150g wheat micro-mash,
10g Saaz @ 10min.

22L vol - W34/70
1.7kg Tooheys Lager,
1kg LDME,
300g Brewcellar light malted grain,
100g chocolate malted grain,
10g black patent malted grain,
20g Saaz @ 15min,
10g Saaz dry in secondary.

Should go alright, definitely have to try my hand at BIAB soon though...
