What Are You Brewing III

[Jace89]

We may agree on that but our other halves may not.
My missus isn't fond of in-door boil overs! She likes to tell people about the time I caught her stove on fire... that's her version of the event which is not the reality. It doesn't stop her telling that story though.

How are you planning on getting the blood orange to carry a flavour in your brew?

I'm lucky my better half actually like the smell! As long as i clean up the mess I don't have a problem, but I find that harder then brewing.

The oranges I plan to zest and gut the insides, then let them steep for 20mins and throw em straight into the fermenter. I got the recipe from here: Blood Orange Hefeweizen
But I'm doing a all-grain version with 60% Pale and 40% Wheat

glorious.

Looks like an interesting picture. You brewing six batches at once? Looks like a brew sheet and timer for each set of cups. Looks like some adjuncts on top of the hops?
Don't tease, brew and tell.

You mean something like this?
Some other hops measured out for an IPA or 6...

hey Bada Bing, how did this NS + Saaz combo go?, have been thinking about using both these hops late

I'm not BBB, but I do use Nelson a great deal.

I find Saaz balances Nelson by giving a slight spiciness that mutes the real wine-like flavour that Nelson can throw. You can use Nelson for a good fruity AAA, and then with Saaz it becomes a nice mellow flavour addition.

I also need to add that Nelson shouldn't (IMO) be used at greater than 30m boil as it's bittering tends to be a little harsh. But as a flavour hop, it shines and as a result of this, it holds a permanent position in my freezer.

Don't tease, brew and tell.

Well I can't speak for Argon but given the similarities between his pic and mine I'll answer the same questions and you can draw conclusions from there
Yes, 6 batches. The last one is a double size so its kind of 7...
Appearances can be deceiving, but sometimes they aren't (That's exactly what they are)
Yes, not sure what's in Argon's but I'll bet it's either calcium sulfate or salt, and some kettle finings in one of them...

 

[argon]

Spot on mate... 6x50L batches and a 100L batch of 1060OG IPA and I can confidently say that it was my easiest brewday yet. B) Perhaps not for some though... How good is opening a 4kg bag of chinook? First addition and gypsum and second to last addition had Yeast nutrient and koppafloc.

thanks for the feedback, think then I'll bitter + whirlpool/cube some saaz flowers with the NS (based on Ross's NS Summer Ale )
