A little cinnamon and nutmeg go a long way as far as I am concerned.
Heck yeah I'm keen to hear how it turns out for you! Funny as **** that the seppos can buy canned pre-spiced pumpkin.

Yeah, tried to play safe, as the recipe called for 1.5 Tbsps (& realise US is different to Aus). Hopefully got it right Will report back as to how it turns out.

Pils IPA.

95% Pils, 5% Carapils.

40 g ahtanum, 40g nelson sauvin and 70g simcoe all cube hopped whilst no chilling. Excited for my first AG brew.

 

[bum]

Yeah, tried to play safe, as the recipe called for 1.5 Tbsps (& realise US is different to Aus). Hopefully got it right Will report back as to how it turns out.

US tablespoons are 3/4 the size of ours. Depending on batch size difference you might have adjusted in the wrong direction [EDIT: oops, probably not. Sorry]. I made a pumpkin ale this year with 3 teaspoons of ground cinnamon and found it a bit OTT. Still a nice beer though.

[manticle]

Get him out to the brewshed and make him start mashing.

 

[ekul]

I don't have any ale malt left so i'm doing an experimental batch using weyermann munich II as a base

Ekuls beefy Munich II ale

4.3kg munich II
.8kg wheat (to lighten it up??)
.1kg med crystal

hops

20g POR 9.2%AA flowers @ 60

25g EKG pellet 4.7%AA @ 20
25g Cascade pellet 4.7%AA @ 20

10g EKG @ 10
10g cascade @ 10

OG 1050 IBU 52 (nochill adjusted, thankyou brewmate)

Right now i'm kegging a batch of a ekul pale ale and putting some yeast onto a centennial blonde ale, so i won't be crushing the grain for the next hour or so.
If anyone has any recipe suggestions let me know.

I got some vienna malt here as well and centenial, chinook, styrian goldings, magnum, northern brewer, galaxy, some 'i can't believe its not amarillo 6.9%AA', hallertau, saaz, bsaaz, nelson and some other hops deep in the freezer.

EDIT Or i'm thinking of making a lager on weyermann vienna

So Saazy lager

5kg vienna lager
.2kg wheat
Hops
Saaz 15g @ 60
Saaz 15g @ 50
Saaz 15g @ 40
Saaz 15g @ 30
Saaz 15g @ 20
Saaz 15g @ 10

OG 1050 IBUs 37 (nochill adjusted)

I'm thinking this could be good for christmas if i lager it for ages

So what does everyone think?

 

[argon]

First brew in over 3 months and first with the new 30plate chiller. Did this IPA again, except subbed Dinegemann's biscuit for the victory, as I felt it got lost in the last version. Also added an extra 20g of chinook @ 10 & 0.

Ended up getting the wort down from boiling to 26C with the chiller in about 20mins. May investigate a pre-chiller. Pitched at ~ 23C and have it set on 17.5C this morning.

Personally I'd go the lager, when i did 50% munich II brews earlier in the year they were too 'something' i didn't like, but attributed to a flavor in the maltiness. But it may have been something about my technique (was approaching being somewhat competent at biab at that stage) or out of style i was aiming for etc. . .

 

[Lillywhite]

Wasn't planning a brew day but screw it, after the conference yesterday and with ingredients for an Australian Pale Ale thought I'd adjust my recipe slightly and chuck in some of those Topaz hops given to use at the conference late in the boil.

 

[jakub76]

Just lit the flame on my Spiced Belgian Wit - Jeu d'esprit.

53% Malted Wheat
33% Pilsener
10% Oats
4% Honey (might use sugar this time) [this addition bumps the abv and thins the body a little]

Corriander Seeds, Orange zest, chamomile and star anise added at end of boil. Fermented with WLP400.



It's a great summer thirst quencher.

Somehow I ended up with all 8 kegs empty a few weeks ago so I'm on a mission to fill them all. I've kept my 3 fermenters busy...IIPA, Raspberry Tripel, APA, Wiezen, Wit underway...planned Pale Lager, Irish Red, Imperial Red.

 

[probablynathan]

Brewing an Old Ale based on the Old Peculier recipe from "Brew Your Own British Real Ale" by Graham Wheeler but I adjusted the hops to use what I had on hand.
Thinking I might add some Treacle into the fermenter after a few days, any thoughts?

Pils IPA.

95% Pils, 5% Carapils.

40 g ahtanum, 40g nelson sauvin and 70g simcoe all cube hopped whilst no chilling. Excited for my first AG brew.

Perhaps an interesting first AG? I reckon if it was me i'd be using a 'normal' schedule on my first AG whilst sorting out efficiencies, processes etc.

Jus sayin

 

[bignath]

just doughed in.

So far untitled, but its:

95% BB Ale
5% Medium Crystal

OG 1.044
FG 1.008
ABV 4.7% in the bottle

Mashed @ 66 for 60min

Cascade @ 60mins to 14IBU's
Cascade @ 30mins to 12IBU's
Cascade @ Flameout for another 3.5 IBU's

NO CHILLED

US05 @ 18deg

Should be nice and simple keg filler.
