First brew on my new 2V system. What better way to break it in than a double decoction? (except for a triple I guess...)

Ferment at 13 rising to ale temps with Wyeast Danish Lager yeast and give it at least 10 days lagering, whether in needs it or not.

well 1 hop addition generally means @60min. And to get 57ibu it would need to be @60min.
 
There are two hop additions... and I can surmise that the second addition as keifer noted the second addition was "10 Min hops are straight into cube."
But I can't know the first addition is at 60 unless I pull out a calculator.

Sorry Nick good point, stupid beersmith export.

First addition is @ 60 for around 37 IBU
2nd addition is calced @ 10 but added to cube for around 20 IBU

The hopping might be a little high but after reading alot of articles/books it seems its a fairly open style to a degree so its all a bit of a trial.

Am actually going to brew this tomorrow night due to a little bit early start on drinking and kinda lost the ability to brew shortly after.
 
I just got a copy of Brew like a monk, so I'm whipping up a few Belgians.

77.6 BB pils malt ( might sub some of this for BEST pilz, don't have much though )
8.6% invert sugar ( made with demerara sugar, light )
6% rolled oats
6% raw wheat
1.7% biscuit

1st gold @60
Hallertau @ 5

55 -15, 62-60, 72-30.

1762

1.064
21 IBU.

Hoping this will dry out. Plan on pitching at 18 and keeping there for the first 48hours, then cranking up to mid 20's. what I plan, and what happens may vary!!

Yeah I'll taste it before deciding. Really want this one to be mostly about the hop. I love Centennial too :icon_drool2:

I couldn't not have the date 31/3/13 on my brew records so I planned a suitably big beer that could last through the years. I'm going through a "can't be arsed"/lazy phase at the moment so couldn't really be bothered aiming for anything more than a big beer with 1.100+ starting gravity and 100+ IBU. I threw together the following for a 20 litre brew:

8.0 kg Maris Otter - added during mash
1.0 kg Roasted Rye - added during mash
0.5 kg Special B - Caramel malt - added during mash
0.5 kg Carabohemian
1.0 kg Chocolate - added during mash
1.0 kg Roasted Barley - added during mash

The hop bill changed daily, however I settled on the following just it was time to throw them in.
50 g Nelson Sauvin (12%) - added during boil, boiled 60 min
50 g Mosaic (12.1%) - added during boil, boiled 20 min
30 g Nelson Sauvin (12%) - added during boil, boiled 5 min

I discovered too late though that one of the wort chiller clamps wasn't on properly, thus cancelling the good work done by my 3 hour boil. The excess water bought my OG to 1.086, but at least I've got extra beer to go round now.

If I had more time, then I would've done a second brew because my final runnings from the mash were still 1.046.

I threw two packs of US-05 at it and it was burbling like a champion within a few hours. It continued to burble even though I left it outside to cool and the wort got down to 14 deg C.

The airlock smells amazing, but then I am a fan of Nelson.

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!!!
So attempt# 2 on this brew as I ended up spending the entire Easter weekend at my parents place hanging off a chainsaw cleaning up storm damage. So I will be brewing my Lord Nelson variant this weekend.

Not a great idea to drink before brewing!! Threw this together with a German "Bockish" Lager in mind(and a beer in hand). Wanted to use Hallertau but Challenger seemed like a good idea at the time??? I am sure it will fine(I hope). Would it be a better beer using S04???
