Well, got the day off and cant think of anything better to do than brew! Went to heat up the strike water and realised my flatmate broke my thermometer :angry: So off to the shop to get another one and then ill be brewing this...

Rye Dubbel Saison

1.95kg Global Pils
1.95kg Rye
1.95kg Wey Vienna
780g Kolsch
468g CaraBohemian
234g CaraAroma
78g Carafa Special III
780g Brown Sugar - Might do a reduction, still thinking about it

Sauvin for bittering with a touch of motueka at 15mins

Wyeast 3711 - Big cake, pitched warm, fermented warm..

Just took a hydro sample on this and its got down from 1069 to 1004!!! :eek: Sample is tasting nice and dry, as well as super, super malty :icon_drool2:
 
Another of these today. A slightly lower sacc temp (64C) and a splash of Aromatic (2%) in this one though, mainly because I've got a bit to get through. It does feel so liberating to toss a whole pack of low- AA% hops in at once for bittering (six plugs!). B)
This particular lager fridge can hold 4 cubes, I'm looking at three of them being full of this MH and the first is already fermenting. For that last slot, I'm open to suggestions... sensible ones, please... :D
Munich Helles

72% Wey Bohemian Pilsner
11% Wey Pale Wheat
8% Wey Carapils
9% B&G Polenta pre- boiled/ gelatinised
Protein rest, single decoction up to 65C saccharification rest, dunk sparge/ mashout.
75 min 17IBU Saaz
20 min 5IBU Hallertau Mittelfreuh
9EBC, 22IBU, OG 1.050, FG maybe 1.012, so about 4.9% abv.
Wyeast 2042 at 10C, ramp up to 18C at the end for diacetyl rest then crash chill.

I am making 50 litres of 3 legged hound Pale Ale today, but substituting Citra hops all the way through.

Wish me luck!

This is just about finished fermenting, just tasted the hydrometer sample. Nice drop, but needs more hop flavour and aroma, and it is not dark enough. I was worried about it being too roasty but it can definitely do with more.

Yeah I am going off yors and i think yours is more roasty and more saaz in the finish, but i think it would be OK if it was darker, it is a dark brown. Oh well i will have to brew it again ...:chug: Damn!


Looks good Chappo, you dont reckon it needs more hop additions?


Paul
 
Just started the boil on a JGSA malt bill with Centennial Hops as the Hop of choice over Amarillo. Bittering with Magnum.

Should be a deadset quaffer! :icon_drool2:

I happened upon 30 litres of post sparge/pre boil wort ( i won't name sources as this bloke brews on a "commercial"scale ...and i thought he would have known better that to f&*k his recipe up but anyway )
I have no idea of the grain bill other than an amount of carafa special II which was not in his recipe but he used anyway...
Now this was sparged Fri arvo...
Poured at 60 degree and stored in sealed buckets...
Picked it up today...
Started to have a sour "tang", but seeing he gave me 150g of east kent goldings for free...i though...what the hell...i'll boil it...no chill it and see what happens.....
OG was 1070 before boil...
15g @ start of boil East Kent
20g @ EKG at 20min
20g @ EKG at 40 min
20g at flame out...
Sweet wort but still with that tang in the backround....
OG , post boil was 1.080....
Got 20 litres of it....
Think it will be interesting.....
 
Brewed this on Sat and pitched the yeast yesterday, first proper temp controlled batch with a brewing fridge an temp controller.
