What Are You Brewing III

[angus_grant]

I am brewing something very similar to Raja Goomba above (sub the Weyerman for Bairds Crystal malt and no chinook) over the Easter weekend.

I will be fermenting one lot and cubing another for later down the track.

it will be a "Lord Nelson Citra Cascading out of this Galaxy subbed heritage for Bairds Crystal": a slight variation on Goomba's Lord Nelson Citra Cascading out of this Galaxy Pale Ale. Looking forward to some hoppy goodness!!!

Citra and Chinook. Centennial is just more citrus - but I really love Citra, and I'm of the opinion that in APA/AIPA, that Chinook adds a great pine contrast to fruit, and stops it getting too fruit salad.

Citra, Chinook & Apollo?

I am really wanting to use Apollo without it being as one dimensional as a single hop, but not drowning it out with other hop flavours.

Citra, Chinook & Apollo?

I am really wanting to use Apollo without it being as one dimensional as a single hop, but not drowning it out with other hop flavours.

Be conservative with the other hops, if you'd like Apollo to take front stage.

I find that if you use a 30 minute Chinook addition, you get pine, but mainly it's bitterness, which I really rate as being not harsh.

Maybe you'd like to up the Apollo and use a teeny bit of Citra and Chinook (or anything else for that matter) as the support act.

The comment about Centennial was mainly that if you have citrus, you probably don't want more, you just want a bit of 'something else'. I would bank Citra and Chinook giving that, but for your purpose, just a little of each.

Forgot to ask Angus, did you manage to get rye? Was it only the heritage crystal missing? I can't remember.

 

[angus_grant]

I got the Briess red wheat malt.

Heritage crystal was missing so substituted for Bairds Crystal.

All good to go this weekend with my 3rd and 4th BIAB. Depending on circumstances I may get some work done on the malt pipe for my brau-clone as well.

Yum. I suppose the weather is still hot and muggy, so Red Wheat would go well. Underrated spec malt. Given my limited (ATM) choices, I've only got the one spec malt. I expect it to be a little one-dimensional, but better than most of what I have had lately.

 

[angus_grant]

It's quite interesting brewing AG and not really knowing what to expect from the different grains, spec malts, and hops. I should really brew a few SMaSH's working through the grains and hops I have to get a taste for each hop and grain. At the moment I've no idea what taste to expect from these AG's so don't really know if I am hitting the mark with mashing temps, hop utilisation, taste, fermentation, etc.

The Red Ale tastes good to me, so perhaps it doesn't matter. ha ha I need to crank out a few ales for a b'day coming up so won't do the Wiener lager (great name by the way) for a while as it will hog my ferment fridge for too long.

Weather has been hot the last few days, but not really muggy.

 

[Lord Raja Goomba I]

When I'm finally up and running, I'll send you a bottle or two. If you still have some of yours left (which is never certain - I found my keg of lord nelson draining mysteriously quickly), you can do a straight comparison. There will be a grain change and the omission of Nelson (which I have done before in this recipe), you can see what you can pick up.

Goomba

 

[angus_grant]

If the taste is what I'm expecting it could become a house beer... :kooi:

I'm trying to figure out how I can build a little cellar in my backyard or somewhere to store some cubes. That way, I can start cranking out cubes and then ferment when needed. Brewing is hard to book time for because it takes a few hours, but fermenting is 1 hours work and then waiting waiting.... So I book out an entire day and rip out three cubes, do that a few times and get a stockpile of cubes. Anyways, bit off-topic...

If I can finish what's on tap right now, I've one stacked up behind it with mosaic.. Can't ever think of a time when a keg has seemed to last so long... Not that I've been kegging forever but you know what I mean.. ******* just won't blow
