Extract brew because I wanted to make beer and couldn't wait to get my new brew rig together.

2kg Light LME
1kg Light DME
300g Dextrose

15g Rakau @ 60

30g Rakau @ 15
30g Kohatu @ 15

15g Rakau @ Flameout
15g Kohatu @ Flameout

23L batch.

1056 yeast.

Will dry hop with Kohatu I think. Around 30g while cold conditioning for 5 days.

Yum. Off to Flinders tomorrow to get cracking on the stand for my 50L all-grain rig. Got the vessels, burner and chiller. Just need the stand!
 
Big day for me today, I am brewing Norways' champion home brewer, Jan Halvor Fjelds' winning double IPA , Two Captains (originally HumleHelvete or Hop Hell ). Currently being brewed by Nogne O for the second year because it was so successful! The original brew comp. prize was only for a one year-once only deal.
He even gave me the original braumeister mash temps and grain plus adjuncts he first used !

I am about to start the boil and am looking forward to the almost 400 gms of hop additions :icon_drool2:

Oh, and I asked him if I can share with you good folk on here. Anyone interested??? B)

Swiss Lager Yeast
T-58 Belgian Yeast - for some reason my spare packet of swiss lager is gone! Looks like it'll be a belgian at low temp instead. D'oh.

The big thing is - I'm doing it on the bucket in bucket lauter - I'm pushing the limit of the 2 pot stovetop method and so far, not bad. A slight overspill, but we're getting there.

Needed to use one of the bigger eskies, but other than that, okay.

The big changes are:

Takes longer to bring strike volume to size.
Takes longer to lauter - the bigger volume of grain means that there is more height for the water to get through.
Takes longer to get to boil temp.

Been a big brew day here.

Weizen, Alt and just finishing a Bo Pils.

Ah, good I was going to ask you about that recipe :icon_cheers:
 
Ah, good I was going to ask you about that recipe :icon_cheers:
Had to make a couple of tweaks to the recipe as i ran out of Ale malt and made up the difference with Munich 1, which couldn't hurt. Also add the roast spec just before mahout and added another 100g Carafa II for a darker beer.

As for the hopping... i just threw in the 15 and 10 min addition into the cubes. (you have to forget first, then 10mins later reopen it and put them in... for accuracy :rolleyes: ) I'll hop tea or mini-boil the 0min addition too.

Cheers agian for the brew day... and the really fresh water. So fresh it was still green.

It was good to see somebody else f*ck up - along the lines of "Aren't you going to recirculate?".
That water is what makes my farmhouse ales so authentic :rolleyes: .

AMEN! I heard it hit 39 in Archerfield today :eek:

Should have been easier to hold a mash temp though!

Honestly, i would rather be brewing than working though.. LOL
 
Razz, i've done a few 10min APA, and AIPA's, they're awesome, but never a UK one. Odd because 90% of my beers,are uk ales. Just not sure if the UK hops will work. Anyhow, my recipe is done for mine now!. Mostly golden promise, and,equal amounts of TF pale xtal and victory, and a 50/50 mix of willamette and EKG @10mins.
Mate! It tastes the goods, seven days grain to brain. Filtered and kegged yesterday and I've just had a sample with my lunch.
