Good to see you are brewing something under 6% finally. :icon_cheers:

I'd best drink some beer tonight to make room for some more batches (I'll move an Alt up the list to be ready for October).
 
Warm weather's a-comin and there's nothing more delicious in springtime than a refreshing spritzy Saison. So, I've dusted off my old vials of Wyeast 3711 and got a starter spinning for the following stupid messed up recipe.

I was having a bit of a free-form kind of day, and saison is one of those styles that I personally think you can tweak to whatever suits your fancy. So I did. I used a lot of the last bits of the bag in this recipe, so I've called it the Stubend Saison.

It was possibly one of the worst brew days on record for me, unfortunately. There must have been some crusted on gunk on my Birko urn element, so it bloody thing kept cutting out - about every 2-3 minutes, after which I would have to get down onmy hands and knees, reach under the urn, and press the reset button through a conveniently placed hole in the milk crate it was sitting on. It was about as safe and comfortable as it sounds. After doing that 10 times, I drained the still not yet boiling wort into a cube (and overflow into a pot) then scrubbed and cleaned the urn, boiled it for 10 minutes with some cirtric acid and hit the element with a scrubby brush to get the crud off it.

All the wort back in, boil going and it was time to relax a little, have a beer and price mongolian burners ;-) Consequently I came nowhere near hitting my targets, as there was a bunch of water added to hopefully bring the boiling point of the liquor down to stop it tripping the safety mechanism. That didn't work of course. Anyway, it's a strange recipe and a strange brew day, but hopefully it will be a tasty beer.



Stubend Saison (Saison)

Original Gravity (OG): 1.050 (P): 12.4
Final Gravity (FG): 1.013 (P): 3.3
Alcohol (ABV): 4.91 %
Colour (SRM): 4.9 (EBC): 9.7
Bitterness (IBU): 23.7 (Average)

73.39% Wheat Malt
18.35% Munich I
8.26% Flaked Corn

1.5 g/L Saphire (4.7% Alpha) @ 60 Minutes (Boil)
0.9 g/L Saphire (4.7% Alpha) @ 10 Minutes (Boil)

0.2 g/L Chamomile @ 10 Minutes (Boil)
0.1 g/L Coriander Seed @ 10 Minutes (Boil)
0.3 g/L Orange Peel @ 10 Minutes (Boil)

Single step Infusion at 63C for 90 Minutes. Boil for 60 Minutes

Fermented at 20C with Wyeast 3711 - French Saison

Notes: Flaked corn is Polenta

Terrible brew day - urn kept cutting out bringing the wort to a boil. Added an unknown amount of water - OG is no 1.043.

Added Chamomile(4g), Coriander seed (2-3g) and orange peel (6g).

Loads of protein removed as the urn was dumped, washed and wort put back in for the boil.

:icon_chickcheers: im brewing my first dr smurtos golden ale biab. Just mashed in all going well so far. This will be only my second all grain brew, my first was a pale ale it tastes so good that I am just tipping out all of my kit beers that are left over. :icon_cheers:
 
Just finished a double cube batch of Bosuns Best Bitter from the data base. Hope it tastes good. I have never really got into UK beers.
 
After a tendinitis inspired layoff, this is now boiling (and where the pictures that went to the other post came from).

It's an alteration to my recipe in my sig, just to really ramp up the fun. I'm hoping that the Rye will add enough sweet and spice to balance this baby out nicely.

Just mashed in batch 7 of my stout with batch 6 on tap. I'm pretty sure something is about to go horribly wrong because this is my smoothest brewday ever so far. Last time I brewed at night I ended up boiling for 5 hours because I fell asleep on the couch so I'm not getting too excited just yet.
 
Home alone with the Mrs and son no.2 still in hospital... thought i'd throw a brew on. Son no. 1 assisted.

Holy crap on a cracker!


Not sure if that means good or bad! :)

Ruination sits on 100 IBUs.....

After tasting the first recipe Punk IPA, I have had a hankering for that whack of bitterness that smacks you in the face followed by the big fruity flavours of american hops.

edit - Just measured 0G - more efficient than planned - 1.060....
