What Are You Brewing III

[lastdrinks]

third AG brew today after six month house building layoff. Well two brews as one was with china hops and tastes like s*&t so it doesnt count. I was mainly after an easy drinking ale with a nice malt profile and not to overpowering hop flavour or bitterness. I have a Dr S GA fermenting and plan to do my first Brown ale and american amber so dont want all monster flavoured beers.

1.65kg Pilsner malt
1.5kg Ale malt
800grams vienna malt
500grams wheat malt
100grams carahell

mash 65c

15grams Pacifica 60min
20grams Pacifica 10min
20grams Cz Saaz 10min
15grams Pacifica dry hop 3 days
15grams Cz Saaz dry hop 3 days

Hey Brad,

[Canberraboy]

Well we are just brewing using Coopers kit, we are using the coopers lager, keepn it simple as 1st go at it.
We got it all bottled now and so far it looks and tastes and smells bloody beautiful.
Am I right in leaving it under the house bottled for a week then fridge then drink or should it be a bit longer under the house?
Cheers look forward to learning the art of brew.

Canberra, it'll taste best after a month or so in the bottle, but you'll be good to start on it in 2 weeks. Patience is the hardest part about this hobby of ours!

I've just started the boil of a LCBA clone.

Only a 12L batch, as I didn't feel like struggling with my small pots on the stove and an overloaded BIA bag. (Hopefully the last BIAB run before I get my mash tun together!)

2KG BB Galaxy
600g Vienna
200g Wheat
80g Carared (had it floating around - why not I say...)

7g of B Saaz and NZ Cascade Flowers at 45
7g of B Saaz and NZ Cascade Flowers at 15
12g of B Saaz and NZ Cascade Flowers at Flame out
US-05

 

[Peteoz77]

Just popping back in to let you kow that the Citra Hop ale that I made is bloody BEAUTIFUL! It's a bit more subdued than the Cascade and Amarillo versions of this brew that I have made, but it's definitely an easy drinker with lots of hop character.

 

[praxis178]

3.3kgs pale lager malt
0.2kgs carapils
0.2kgs flaked rye

22g Pearle (8% AA 60mins)
14g Saaz (6.3%AA 5mins/flame out)
1 whirlfloc tab 15mins
Wyeast Danish Lager yeast (1L starter)

OK, so had a delay creep in and had to put it off til today, sparging right now, and although the EBC *should be* ~6.8 right now (sparge just about done) is running more like 2.5. I DO hope it colours up during the boil, otherwise it's just not going to be a fun beer to drink.....

That reminds me I'd better get to weighing the hops! Changed my mind on those too, going with German northern brewer for bittering and the home grown Pearle for flavour/aroma. 27g of Northern Brewer and 14g of the Pearle.

 

[Scruffy]

Mashing now...



8KG Maris Otter, and 800g Crystal.

Hops waiting...



Mix of Amarillo, Challenger, Bramling Cross and Styrian, and more Styrian... Beersmith says, 1103OG and 103IBU. Well see...

:icon_cheers:

Hey Scruffy, didn't realise you were a bag boy

Recipe: Shitter Bitter
Brewer: Mayo

Looks just great to me, Mayo! I recall Northdown being quite well suited to this sort of Ordinary/ ESB, can't argue with Styrian or 1275 either, while 3% Caraaroma makes me weak at the knees, particularly in a Landlord. A low mash temp perhaps?

Well yesterday I had to meet the missus at 3, so BIAB and a 1hr mash and 1hr boil - It made 1.102, only 20l though! I could have mashed in the old 60l esky, but needed to be swift.

I did make a grave error though, gathering in the folds of voile pre hoist I missed one and let maybe 1KG slip into the wort... did my best to rescue it, but alas - checkout the whirlpool!!!



Protein shakes anyone?

Predicting a post about haze not shifting in a couple of weeks!!! :lol:
