Mashed this in overnight, 70% efficiency dropped to 65% - maybe due to a big grain bill?

Its boiling away now...

[mckenry]

Just finsihed cleaning up and packing away.
Did the good doctors Golden Ale, but bittered with Simcoe, then Amarillo @ 20 & flameout.
50L of the stuff.

 

[Bizier]

I am brewing a Hefeweizen inspired by Zwickel's more recent posts.

 

[jyo]

Did my second All Grain yesterday and went with Tony's Little Creatures Bright Ale clone.

23 litre batch ended up at 1040. Didn't have any Cascade, so used Simcoe (12.2 AA) (which I havent used previously) instead, had to halve the additions.

Forgot to add the whirlfloc, so may not be a very 'bright' ale :blink: , but tastes byoodiful in the hydro readings.

Cheers, John.

looks good Bribie, getting the head retention and some body from the carapils without the caramel hit, just wondering though, if you're going with the 2 packs of Notts @ 15 why not 2 packs of S-189 @ 10 ?

is it purely because of the lagering time ?

[Fourstar]

Just cubed the following American Lager and mashed in the James Squire "The Craic" clone, brewed many times and is a house favourite. Thanks to Fourstar for the recipe. :icon_drool2:

I agree, its quite a good recipe this one but i think it needs a little complexity. Next time to make it a little more JS like im going to sub my roast barley down with carafa and go with something along the lines of.

80% Pale Malt
10% Flaked barley
5% Roast Barley
5% Carafa Special II

Keep it at around 4-4.5% abv and it will be. :icon_drool2:

After having my Black IPA with nothing but carafa to get it BLACK and it ending up so dreadfully smooth im tempted try it on a dry stout. I think i will do it with a very high % of carafa and see what it ends up like... say 15-20%

Brewed this again today for the second time. Just finished a keg of the first version and loved it. I don't seem to see much caraaroma used in recipes here, but I'm loving it.

You must have seen this thread then brando? Caraaroma in Dr S' Landlord is in!
An interesting Landlord variation there, I'm quite a fan of the 3% Caraaroma version too. I've gone back to using sugar in it as well, can be too overtly grainy without it IMO.

I've also got a twin of S-189 but the Notto has been hanging around for a while and I'm using it up on a fake lager as I wouldn't unleash it on an unsuspecting ale <_< Also I'm hoping to crank it out in about 3 weeks. I actually do ferment S-189 at around 15 and it does really well at those temps but produces a lot of sulphur and needs a few weeks in lagering to get rid of it, swings and roundabouts. :icon_cheers:

 

[MitchDudarko]

Got 20L of Dr. Smurto's GA in the fermenter. Pitched the yeast on Wednesday, no action still this morning (Friday) so I chucked in another pack of yeast that I bothered to rehydrate this time and it's now going gangbusters. Oh it's my first AG brew too, so fingers crossed it turns out drinkable at least. Waiting on the grain to arrive for my next brew, the Aussie pseudo lager from the recipe db.

 

[goatherder]

Citra Smash

TF MO mashed at 67 to 1.052
20g Citra at 20, 15, 10 & 5min for 40 IBUs
Wyeast 1187 Ringwood
20g Citra dry hop after primary.

 

[devo]

I'm clearing out some left over hops before they lose their punch so knocked up a hop mongrel pale ale bittering with POR and then adding 1 hallertau plug, 40gm of NZ super alpha, 45gm of NZ southern cross flowers and 25gm of Glacier pellets. Will be dumping batch onto the US05 yeast cake that I brewed the week before.
