That AIPA on the previous page looks pretty nice, Fourstar. Might have to borrow that one at some point.

The malt bill is that of my 2nd place APA but its just been hopped to the clappers a little more. Im thinking of dry hopping it too. :icon_drool2:

Don't mind the sound of that Baseballers Light at all, 4*. Be great stuff for drinking while I'm up in the garage messing around with beer, coffee & bikes.

I'm still clear of AG territory, but am putting down a Smurto's JSGA in the next few days.

Coopers 'Sparkling Ale' 1.7kg
Coopers light liquid malt 750g*
Coopers liquid wheat malt 750g*
20g Amarillo (8.9%AA) @ 10min
20g Amarillo (8.9%AA) dry for 4 days before bottling.

Will probably throw in the recommended 250g of Crystal malt as well, although it may be doctored with some extra JW Trad. Ale that I've got lying around to make it a mini mash. Plan on fermenting it with good old Coopers kit yeast at 17'C.

Cheers all - boingk

*Contents of one 1.5kg can of Coopers Wheat Malt.

A quick Cheeky Vimto for Xmas Day

20 Litres of no preservative Apple Juice
2 Litres of no preservative Grape Juice
200g sugar

1 pack of S-04

 

[reviled]

Just blended 1.5kg of cranberries and added them to a fermenter with about a litre of yeast/trub and 10litres of cream ale - im hoping that with a big mass cake of yeast in there it might be enough to fight off any nasties that might be hiding in the cranberries, allthough I did defrost and refreeze the fruit about 4 or 5 times to slow anything down, but now only time will tell...

The beer in the fermenter went red instantly Awesome!

 

[jyo]

Bugger all you guys are making me jealous. An old back injury= cortisone injections and no brewing for 2 months....and had just started AG too :angry: ...not enjoying spending 50 bucks on a carton.... :blink:

Half way through the mash...

Grandma's Farm Ale (Saison)
Size: 20.0 L
Efficiency: 70.0%
Original Gravity: 1.049
Terminal Gravity: 1.003
Alcohol: 6%
Bitterness: 29.8

Ingredients:
3.5 kg Pilsner Malt
0.5 kg Rye Malt
0.5 kg Oats Flaked
0.5 kg Pale Wheat Malt

30.0 g Styrian Goldings (5.4%) - added during boil, boiled 60 min
10.0 g Southern Cross (15.9%) - added during boil, boiled 15.0 min
15.0 g Southern Cross (15.9%) - added during boil, boiled 0.0 min

Yeast - Belgian Farmhouse Ale "This strain produces complex esters balanced with earthy/spicy notes. Slightly tart and dry with a peppery finish. A perfect strain for farmhouse ales and saisons."

I thought Southern Cross would work well as the "aroma is characterised by a heady mix of lemon peel and pine needles layered beneath the clean spiciness".

Looks good Al, not a bad yeast that one. I'll be interested to hear what you think of the yeast and the end product

Cheers Rook,
I've just finished a standard american lager with that yeast and will be dumping on the yeast cake, so should take off pretty well.
Don't have any comments on the yeast as of yet though.

The mash tasted pretty bloody nice though.

I ran out of wheat malt and for the last few brews, whenever wheat is called for I just make up some semolina (you know the baby food stuff) and use that in the mash. Seems to give a smoothness without the 'sour' taste that to my tastebuds you seem to get with wheat malt. 250 gm dry weight goes well. Galaxy in particular will convert it well.

 

[Bizier]

I am crashing the IIPA I posted about a week or so ago.
I deliberately did not pack any aroma additions into the beer, deciding on relatively late aroma (15 or 10 mins) and a d*ckload of dry hop. So I racked and dry hopped the 2 fermenters, one with 100g Centennial & 25g Cascade, the other with 100g Amarilo & 25g Cascade. I have had them at 25 degrees for 5 days with twice daily rousing using a lazy suzan from Ikea (good investment in your spine).

The samples are still in my mouth after more than half an hour. There is no grey area in this beer.
