Good luck, Dave!

F##kn shitbags! I remembered that last weekend my HLT tripped out with a strange noise noise at mash out. Just filled it up to check for my brew tonight and we have smoke and burnt wires. The element is only about a year old!
 
Brewing this at the moment. About half hour left in the mash. Have thrown the hop schedule together a bit wishy washy. I'm pretty new to making my own recipes. Brewmate gives me an IBU of 73.6, with my bittering additions at 30 mins. Will magnum at 15 mins be too late?

Will be splitting the batch into two cubes (no chill), and doing the 0 min additions as a mini boil on the day that i choose to ferment. One batch is for a friend and will be the standard hop bill and fermented with US-05. In the other batch I'm thinking of replacing the 0 min galaxy additions with some sorachi ace maybe, and fermenting with Wyeast 3724 Belgian Saison. Just as an experiment. As i say this is all more or less guess work. Let me know what you think. Will magnum at 15 mins be too late?

It was looking good on the red front from the first runnings

Although from the hydro sample it could be a nice copper colour. I will have to see what the yeasties do to do the EBC. Got better efficiency than I was expecting too.

Now I'm enjoying a freshly kegged American Brown Ale. I like weekends! :icon_drunk:
 
Crushing grain now on this:

Boh Pils 17L

3.5kg Weyermann Bohemian Pilsner

Dough in 42C, to 52C over 10 minutes, to 62C (thick decoction pulled and boiled for 25 minutes), added back to 72C for 25 minutes (mashout decoction pulled and brought to boil) to 78C and bag pulled. I have a bottle of budvar to compare colour - last time I went too dark ~10 EBC.

35g CZ Saaz 90 Minutes

2 apas.

An epic mayhem tribute/homage detailed here: http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...showtopic=51000

And another apa, probably the one I make with chinook, amarillo and cascade/centennial detailed here: http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/inde...amp;recipe=1276

Reason for two apas is mainly that I've run out of yeast but have access to some 1272 slurry as I just bottled a cascade/chinook apa today.

Once I get my finances sorted and can afford ingredients again (mid next week) I'll be setting myself up for a stint of porter and stout brewing.
 
One more. Slightly OT but involves booze and is therefore acceptable:

Perhaps more off topic but makes kittens easier to get into the airlock and involves Paul Whitehouse:

Barley wine has been brewed for xmas yesterday. Didn't look like I hit my targets and may have only got 1.085-90 for the OG... pretty depressing efficiency, but didn't expect anything real high for a high gravity brew. Might just bump it up with a little DME on fermentation as it will most probably need the extra malt for all the late hop additions and NC. Ill just give it a taste before pitching and adjust if required.

Saison to go on the yeast cake of last week's brew.
3711 in Brisbane summer heat had not trouble getting down to 1006 inside a week. Might have further to go but it will do.
I'll rack it off and cold condition it for a little before bottling and kegging.
