What Are You Brewing III

[Lecterfan]

First Stout BIAB for tomorrow morning.

Trichotillomania Stout

Phew! Some stouts will leave you legless...but hairless as well???

 

[Tony]

What mash schedule are you using for this Tony?

usually go an infusion mash..... 52 deg @ 2l/kg for 10 min, then boiling water to 65 for 45 min then 71 for 15 and mash out at this.

 

[Barry]

Have mashed in a German Pils and a Bohemian Pils, just finished breakfast and will start sparging in about 20 mins. I have never made a good BoPil yet. Hope this will be the one.

 

[goomboogo]

I have never made a good BoPil yet. Hope this will be the one.

I'm sure you're being a bit hard on yourself.

 

[mje1980]

Forgot i told my mate a few weeks ago i'd make him another batch of american wheat, so whipping a single batch of the last one i did. Was very nice, and i got lots of wheat!.

56.3% BB pale
38.3% JW wheat
2.7% Wey abbey
2.7% Carahell

Galena 60 mins

Columbus and cascade @ 10 mins ( not a lot though )

1.044
22 IBU

US05

 

[Pennywise]

And this is why I brew in the morning. Just steeping the grains for a Coopers IPA kit now

Coopers IPA
500g ldme
300 sugar
150g dark crystal
100g special roast
26g pale choc
100g carafe 3 special
100g roast barley

Hops will be what ever looks good that I pull out of the fridge, prolly cascade, chinook & galaxy from 20 mins to dry hop. Might actually do a mix of the three and see how that pans out

Hopes went like this, 20g Cascade & 10g Galaxy @ 20 mins, & again at flameout for a hot steep. Will throw some more in on day 4-5, maybe just some Cascade though, galaxy is a bloody monster of a hop

 

[Screwtop]

usually go an infusion mash..... 52 deg @ 2l/kg for 10 min, then boiling water to 65 for 45 min then 71 for 15 and mash out at this.

Common mash schedule here also Tony !! pseudo P rest, Sacch rest, Glyco P rest then Mash out.

Double batch of Pommy IPA mashing right now. March pump seems to have shit itself so its back to the good ol' gravity and buckets till I resolve the issue!

 

[vykuza]

Making something akin to a De Rankle XX Bitter. Aka a bitter, hoppy Belgian Pale ale. Pic attached because of the loads of low alpha hops turning it in to a hop soup! The pictures don't do it justice but it was extremely green.

The Belgian Bastogne yeast (WLP-510) I have chewing away on an Orval clone isn't giving me any belgiany type flavours, and the word I read somewhere that it's a borrowed English strain seems spot on from what I'm tasting.

So a quick order of some Wyeast Ardennes yeast is in order to ferment this bugger. (and while I'm at it I may as well throw a La Chouffe clone through it.. but that's for another post.

[keifer33]

Ahh Citra, what a wonderful beer that will be.

 

[Lord Raja Goomba I]

Ahh Citra, what a wonderful beer that will be.

+1.

Nelson and Citra are my two favourite hops - and surprisingly, they play well together. I finally had the guts to combine them, and the result was well received (and quickly consumed) by all.

Goomba

 

[Bada Bing Brewery]

+ 1 on both Citra and Nelson. I think Nelson is more forgiving with bittering and no chilling. I am changing my hops schedules for no chilling now as I have had a few bitter ones with the Citra - very nice anyway.

Good time of year for mild hey?, though i can drink it all year round haha I'll be doing one next up too. Exact same recipe as my last:

87.7% TF MO
8.8% Wey caramunich 3
1.8% Choc
1.8% Roast barley

Galena 60mins
Willamette 5

1.033
23 IBU

1318 london ale 3

EDIT, i just had a thought. I normally use the caramunich 3 for my milds ( and most bitters ) but i think i have enough simpsons heritage to sub it. Might try that, as i really like the heritage xtal.

Finally getting round to brewing this, was going to tomorrow but got other plans. Thought i'd do a night brew. Going well, though my mash temp was 70c, a bit higher than normal, and my pre boil is only 3 points short of my calcd post boil, so i'll go over on the gravity. Oh well!

Brewing today at Hampton Brewhaus... Nelson Sauvin Summer Ale (Thanks Ross)

It's the first of four batches this week. Also brewing an American Pale, American Amber and a Munich Dunkel.

How good are holidays.

+ 1 on both Citra and Nelson. I think Nelson is more forgiving with bittering and no chilling. I am changing my hops schedules for no chilling now as I have had a few bitter ones with the Citra - very nice anyway.

BBB - use Citra at 10-20 minutes in a nice quantity to the IBU you want. You'll get that lovely passionfruit citrus flavour without the harshness.

I find that a little Nelson for bittering (60m) is okay, but overdone, it can quickly get harsh.

I've found that both Nelson and Citra can be used in a similar manner - that is 30 minutes for most bittering, and lots at 10 minutes for lots of flavour. :icon_drool2:
