I'll be putting a double of this down tomorrow morning whilst on Holidays.

80% Wey Pils

45gr Topaz @ 60mins

It'll be interesting to see what this hop has got on offer.

And just finished dropping version 2 of Better Red than Dead into the fermenters. Yummo upped the malt a tad this time.

WYeast 1056 Amercan Ale/Chico
 
Have a pale mashing at the moment with JW trad ale, some pilsner that was left over and some munich 1 and a bit of caramalt
FWH and 45 min with POR
5min with cascade
 
First brew for a while.

ESB (depending on what yeast I feed it to.)

4kg MO
400gm wheat
100gm CaraAroma
100gm Amber
50gm carafaII

NB at 60min
Perle and Simcoe at flame out (Perle from this years crop, Simcoe left over and wanted to get rid of it.)
32ibu's.

Cubed and chilling as we speak, just wondering what I'm going to feed it to.

Just started weighing out grain this morning without a recipe. Not extremely to style but still have high hopes for it. It's got a lovely copper colour to it.
 
There was a thread a little while ago about creating a new Australian style of beer. Here's what I dreamed up.

Did the Belgian Dark/Dubbel whatever up thread a bit, and finished a hefe about five.
Now kicking back with a dark Campbell brew - lifes not bad.
 
Sure thing mate :icon_cheers: I actually pitched the Brett last night, the 1469 got it down to 1030 in a couple of days, sample was tasting awesome!!!

Help!! Ive just come back to check on my brews and the Old Ale is still sitting at 1030 :( Does Brett take a while to get going? Or was it possible there was no viable Brett left in the Porternoir?
 
Brett will take some time. You're looking at more like a couple of months. Is there a pellicle yet? You will probably get one in the next few weeks. Patience may be stretched. :D

Theres no pellicle yet, i guess I just thought it would have gone down at least a grav point or two :huh: just a bit worried there wasnt much viable brett left seeing as the bottle was about 2 years old
