What Are You Brewing III

[Pete2501]

An apa with JW Trad ale, 11% wheat, 4.5% caraaroma and 3.5%biscuit
Por, cascade, amarillo and this lot for the last 2min
125g of just picked Chinnook
View attachment 35668

Total harvest today was 425g to add to the allready harvested 475g

Yes please :icon_drool2:

I'm going dizzy just thinking about all those hops.

 

[drsmurto]

I reckon stuff ups, especially when someone else is watching, make brewing so much better. You do it so many times that you think you have everything under control then woops - forget the most basic ******* thing. As long as the hops went in and you didn't spill the wort then she'll probably turn out even better (ferment/post ferment potential issues notwithstanding).

Definitely kept me on my toes. You can feel the pressure when being watched. :lol:

Sitting down over the creek under the willows with the boys and missed the 60 min addition (by only 3 mins) as we were just relaxing with a beer/wine and bbq meat.

I must admit, whilst i brew alone 90+% of the time, a fellow brewer on a brewday makes damn good company!

 

[Tony]

so I'll give it a crack.

:lol:

Sorry but it just made me laugh

Just finished my sparge and reached rolling boil.

HLT is heating up and the grain is about to be cracked for the BABB's Wild Brew.

Can either lonte or HD clarify for me when the Brown Sugar gets added?

Fcuk it I hate it when your busting for a slash and can't leave the brew, then you get a chance when you're draining the mash tun to break the seal and you come back and find the taps open on your kettle and a couple of litres of wort are over the patio tiles.

Valentine's Brews

As a member of the disaffected majority, I have commenced my tribute to the three (yep, 3) Saint Valentine's.

Yesterday it was a very big beer, named by a Hunter brewer as " Big Bitter Bitch", but I like to call it a Ruination clone.

Today, it's a more subtle, yet somehow less subtle beer, which is a "Sour Blonde", which I call Medowie Sauer Weisse (or Teninch Weisse).
I plan to split the batch and ferment half with the Wyeast 3191 (Berliner Weisse blend) which has been in my fridge for ages; and the other half with a home-made lacto culture and some German ale (or maybe a Rogue ale) yeast.

Medowie Sauer Weisse (2010) - last brewed in 2006 for the NSW Xmas in July case swap, and enjoyed by just about everyone. Won the BoS round at the NSW State Comp that year, and earned me 12 1/2 minutes of fame. Finally re-brewed after many requests.

Brew Type: All Grain Date: 14-02-10
Style: Berliner Weiss Brewer: Weizguy
Batch Size: 25.00 L
Boil Volume: 31.00 L Boil Time: 20 min


Ingredients Amount Item Type % or IBU
2.00 kg Pilsner (IMC) (3.9 EBC) Grain 59.9 %
1.00 kg Wheat Malt, Malt Craft (Joe White) (3.5 EBC) Grain 29.9 %
0.34 kg Acid Malt (5.9 EBC) Grain 10.2 %
28.00 gm Tettnang [2.80%] (20 min) Hops 5.5 IBU

Estimated Original Gravity: 1.031 SG (1.026-1.036 SG) Measured Original Gravity: 1.031 SG
Estimated Final Gravity: 1.008 SG (1.006-1.009 SG) Measured Final Gravity: 1.006 SG
Estimated Color: 5.2 EBC (3.9-7.9 EBC) Color [Color]
Bitterness: 5.5 IBU (3.0-8.0 IBU)
Estimated Alcohol by Volume: 3.0 % (2.8-3.6 %)


Name Description Step Temp Step Time
Step Add 6.62 L of water at 39.2 C 35.0 C 240 min (Acid rest)
Step Add 2.57 L of water at 98.6 C 50.0 C 30 min (protein rest)
Step Add 4.80 L of water at 99.7 C 65.0 C 60 min (saccharification rest)
Step Add 11.04 L of water at 94.8 C 77.0 C 40 min (mash out)

I would like some feedback for creating my lacto culture (either here or by pm).
I have reserved some wort (last runnings) from the Ruination brew yesterday and diluted to about 1.035.
I boiled, cooled to 52C and added half to a thermos with a small handful of JW wheat (uncrushed), and the other half to a PET bottle with a similar quantity of BB pale ale grain (also uncrushed). Any suggestions if there will be an advantage to either grain?

Happy V.D. (that's Valentine's Day)

Soon from the Teninch Brewery:

Schneider weisse clone
Schwarzbier
Teninch Bitter
Arrogant ******* clone

 

[Duff]

I still remember that Berliner. Simply awesome.

Les, PM me your address and I'll send some bottles and post packs

Cheers.

Les.

I loved the Berliner when i tried it many years ago. I had planned to make it myself but never got around to it. Forgot abouot it actually.

I think you told me you used JW Pils for the lacto culture. I wonder if there are different bugs living on the different grains?

Question for you mate.......... when do you add the lacto culture?

The lacto culture gets a feed before you add the ale yeast. Maybe 24 hours or more. I did not get enough sourness from 24 hours, so will try 48 this time, and keep trying until I get it right.
