Putting down a double of 'stoned with wood' for a party in a few weeks.


Pretty stock standard
5.6kg ale malt
3.6kg wheat
.2kg simpsons med crystal

Hops all galaxy flowers 13.4%AA

10g @ 30
24g @ 15
10 @ 0
20g french pressed into each keg
Because i nochill this comes out @ 22IBUs

The party is in byron so it will be a good opportunity to see how it stacks up
 
About to start the prep for this 'Jungle Wit' which is great with BBQ-ed fish, shellfish, ikan dilis etc.
Beer itself ends up too clear and ABV a touch high to really be considered a wit, so shoot me - it is what it is.

Brewed a version of Jayse's Double Truffles last night with kbear.
Tis a big beer, prior to adding the bourbon to the keg - think of a thick sweet dessert beer! 1090OG + bourbon
If it comes close to the original it should be a cracker!!!

Hit all my numbers and also collected 10L of 3rd runnings (at 1045 ish) which I have boiled separately with aged hops and will pitch in some lambic dregs to get a black lambic happening B)

And you reckon I'm obsessed :p

(Brewing a super-saison on the weekend mind you :rolleyes: )
 
Oh, I never denied I'm obsessed!!! :beer:

Have cube, will fill ;)

I'm even doing the dodgy kerbside collection scour for brewing things this week! Already picked up a 10L 'Lindy' Urn that works fine. Hello new HERMs Heat Exchanger!!

Sorry guys, back on topic ;)

Cheers
 
putting down this

5kg munich II

25g POR 9.2% aa @ 60
25g cascade 4.7%aa @ 30
25g cascade @ 10

NOchilled.

Will beusing it with the san diego super yeast, after its finished with my stoned with wood ale

I stuffed up already tho, had my first beer way before the first hop addition. Hope it turns out alright
 
Not sure what to call this one, apart from "hopefully delicious." Not really an "oatmeal stout" but along those lines. Was just kind of winging it -- found myself with an unexpected opportunity to brew and hadn't worked out a recipe...

5kg Maris Otter
500g rolled oats (organic Finnish rolled oats?!)
500g malted oats
200g choc wheat
200g roasted barley
185g pale choc malt

20g NZ Fuggles flowers (7.7%) 60min
30g NZ Willamette flowers (12%) 20min
30g Styrian Goldings pellets (5.2%) 20min

Some Wyeast 1469PC (West Yorkshire Ale.. from BribieG, thanks!) unceremoniously scooped from the top of a happily fermenting ESB.

Lost quite a bit of wort in all the flowers on top of not sparging enough in the first place, wound up with less than 20l in the fermenter and an O.G. of 1.058 (seems low, oops?). BeerSmith now tells me 42 IBU. At least with that volume the yeast hopefully won't climb out the top while nobody is around to check on it for a week or two...
 
Managed to get this done today. Wanted this to be the first run on my HERMS, but I couldn't work out the controler so I gave it a miss...

Sounds fun... details?
 
Just finished cleaning up after brewing a Hefeweizen.
Did a double decoction, but lost a fair amount of the boiled grain to my daughter's breakfast muesli. Spent grain for dinner tonight.

Racked directly into fermenter where the wort is slow cooling now, head space purged with Co2. The idea is to under pitch without oxygenating the wort, in an desperate attempt to get a bit less clove and a bit more banana/bubblegum into the finished beer.
 
Sounds fun... details?

Maxed out mash tun with 17kg of:

80% pale
18% munich
2% caramunich 2

mixture of a heap of US hops from the freezer for bittering, including columbus, simcoe, glacier, citra, centennial.

Nothing remarkable as far as the recipe goes, however keen train spotters may note that this isn't my stock MaxiBIAB, its actually a double batch. I bought a second- hand Beerbelly 36L kettle and spiral burner with MP reg recently, tried it out on the weekend with two BIAB bags (never again) and still cubed 28L of 1.065, plus sugar and dilution equates to around 44L of 1.054 in fermenters- precisely what I was after! :eek: So I'm chuffed for a maiden run, will get a bigger bag organised and this could become methode RdeV from now on, will continue to use the 19L pot for sparging the baggie. :icon_cheers:
