I'm thinking of brewing a nice heavy, dark beer for winter soon so it'll have time to condition. I'm going for something kinda like a strong Scotch ale or an old ale, but doesn't really have to fit the guidelines of any particular style, so long as it tastes good and gives me that warm belly feeling.

I can't mash huge amounts of grain so here's what I was thinking for a partial mash. Let me know what you think.

Batch size: 18L
OG: 1.079
FG: 1.019
ABV: 8% (after priming)
IBU: 41
EBC: 30
Brewhouse efficiency: 75%


3.47 kg Simpsons Maris Otter
0.5 kg Simpsons Amber
0.5 kg Simpsons crystal (150EBC)

1 kg Briess golden light DME

40 g EKG, 60 min (33 IBU)
40 g EKG, 15 min (8 IBU)

Wyeast1028 London Ale


Mash at 67C for 60 min.

60 min boil.

Start ferment at 18C and raise to 22C after a few days. Hold at 22C till it's at FG for a few days of a week then CC for a week.
 
First Brew back after a couple of months off.

Going with a simple but hopefully effective APA.

I also plan on testing out my new 'digital homebrew' stir plate with 2L of leftover wort from the golden ale to build up the 1272.

Pretty keen to see how she goes.
 
Let us know how it goes sponge. Where'd ya get it?, did you make it??

Keeping it on topic my next brew will be a rice lager.

Didn't make it unfortunately, but (fortunately) looks like a nice bit o' kit for the cash monies. I got a few bits and pieces to make my own, then a pretty good offer came up, so you know... the online shopping trigger finger got the better of me as per usual.

1 tube grown up Hefeweizen IV Ale (White Labs #WLP380) [ Yeast 14

My last brew was brewed on Boxing Day. A Hefeweizen disgraced itself by climbing out of the fermenter and making a mess of the brew fridge. This one will have a blow off tube into a 5 litre container to catch the overflow. It will all be sanitised, and I should be able to harvest the blow off as a top crop for my next batch, which will also be a Dunkelweizen.
 
I just finished brewing a batch of Timothy Taylor Landlord Ale clone, with 100% Golden Promise grain .I did a 2hour hard boil for S & Giggles to see if I could get the colour right .I didnt have any Styrian Goldings so I subbed in Aurora hops instead .Im going to try top cropping the yeast as Wyeast 1469 is a top croping yeast and loves to crawl out of the fermenter. I usually ferment a 23L batch in my 30L fermenter, and it still climbs out.
 
First brew in a few weeks today
