Providing i get back to brissy early enough and get to craftbrewer i will be knocking out a single batch of manticles sweet stout (minus the lactose and use rolled oats instead) and a robust porter. plus something to quench my thirst after a hard day at work before it gets too cold.
 
mashed in about 15min ago my version of heather ale. based on Mosher's RAdical Brewing and subbed some grains for what i havbe on hand

40L batch
7.2 kg marris otter
2.8kg melanoidan (instead of amber malt)
0.12kg buscuit malt (instead of brown malt)
0.14kg caraamber (instead of brown malt)
0.9kg orange blossum honey in secondary
60g saaz @ 60
40g heather @ 30
40g heather @ 0
14g medowsweet @ 0

buscuit and caraamber is subbing for brown malt.
melanoidian instead of amber.
i dont have bog myrtle so ill have to forgo that.

edit: ive got pics of heather etc all measured out but the kids seem to have broken my phone data cable, so no pics until i get a new one
 
Setting up this afternoon to brew the promised "Hogshead Dobbelen IPA Tripel" on Saturday morning, could double up with a Saison - just because.
I'll whack the recipe up once I get home.
 
Hopefully bottling my Mancave Lazy Larger tomorrow, this cold weather we are getting is doing it a treat!
 
Just ramping to Maltose rest now. First beer with summit. Interested to know the profile. All hops are fresh yakima valley hops.

I dropped a handful of cascade on the bench when resealing/splitting my 1lb packet of cascade. Ended up as mash hops. B)

Im currently fermenting an amber ale with 1272, will be rinsing the cake and splitting between this monster.

MMMMM DANK. Like Columbus....but more resinous......


i just dry hopped my amber ale with summit, amarillo and centennial as well as a hop tea. Smelt delicious! :icon_drool2: I decided the hops were too good to waste from the tea so they also went into the mash of the IPA above. :icon_cheers:

I made an american barleywine with Summit and Centennial.......single batch.....70g of Summit @ 60.....I have a feeling there will still be hop presence in 5 years.
 
This one is going down tomorrow for the VIC caseswap. I wanted to brew this one much earlier than now but I lost a few weekends to work. Should still be right come July.

The one in the db uses JW malts. Try the exact same recipe next time but subbing JW for Simpsons. 1st is a lovely beer but I reckon the second is better..
 
Just finished brewing a double choc stout with Fuggles & EKG.

About a beer or two into the mash I thought "ah bugger the hop sock those flowers will probably be ok.... N-E-V-E-R again :blink: what a nightmare

I managed to get most of it out with a syphon in the end I just hope 75'ish will be ok for a no-chill
 
If ur cube was clean and sanitised it should be ok. wouldn't keep it for months . . .

Recipe Generated with BrewMate

Had a mate try my 6.95% strong lager (I made a pils, overboiled, nochilled and forgot to dilute when pitching yeast), and loved it, so feeling confident today.

Truth be told, this is same old, same old - I could brew this eyes shut with a hand tied behind my back, but good to have the house beer on tap again.

Ok.... Didn't end up getting there anyway. Will keep that in mind! Cheers manticle!
 
Tasteless Mexican Lager - Partial Mash

Basically a curiosity brew. Trying out using rice and polenta, and seeing how light, flavourless, and colourless a partial brew can be! Will hopefully be good lawnmower beer for the warm weather.

400g White Rice

Cooked in a big pot of water till gluggy. Cool to 65degC. Add in:

1kg Pilsener malt

Poured into bag in pot, topped up with hot water to 65degC. Mashed at 65degC for one hour

10g of Magnum (to 18 IBUish) at 60min

1kg extra-light DME
400g dextrose

Topped upto 21L

Fermented at 10degC with 300mL thick yeast slurry Danish Lager 2042
