What Are You Brewing III

[tricache]

JAO Mead

[Lord Raja Goomba I]

Finally got my first Tassie brew down.

Many thanks to @jlm, @DanteHicks and @Lagerbomb for the lending and giving of equipment and peripherals that have made this possible. These guys are examples of why the AHB community is such a great place and how much fellow brewers look after each other.

Okey Dokey, from memory.

It's sort of a Cream Ale x APA - but not as fruity as I'd otherwise be, and I've got Pilsner Malt to use up, which is not a base I'd normally use.

3.63kg Pilsner Malt (87.9%)
.5kg Crystal Medium (12.1%) - this is to offset the lightness of Pils malt comparative to my usual Maris Otter base.

Summit 15.9% 20g (0 min no chill) 16.5 IBU
Mosaic 11.0% 20g (0 min no chill) 10.5 IBU
Citra 11.9% 20g (0 min no chill) 11 IBU

(IBU calcs are guessed on my work computer, total IBU was around 38IBU)

US05

EBC 22.1/ IBU38.8/OG1.046

I found out that my 36L borrowed Robinox pot is a big job for my stove to use, so looks like I'll be going gas next time. It took about 1.5hrs longer than it should have. But I didn't spill too much, and otherwise, it was a pretty glorious return to BIAB and single vessel brewing (though I did sparge in a bucket, hence the spillage).

40g of EKG @ 60 and wyeast whitbread or irish ale for a FES type stout.

I dont recommend throwing 3L of US05 slurry at this. it climbed about 25L worth of headroom and out of the fermentor. mess everywhere. and it was pitched cold. monster. the gyle climbed about 40L of headroom but didnt escape and ive never know wyeast whitbread to be a monster. i guess 2 brews worth of yeastcake makes it a monster

tried any other yeasts with this other than german?

tried any other yeasts with this other than german?

Only one cube will get the german, others will get 1469. Most aussie olds I just use S-04. I used the german ale in a mild a while back and it worked a treat.

Just to repeat myself from the Alt thread.
The fermenter is now in the fridge, after pitching the yeast and aerating the batch.

90 minutes boil.
25 litres into the fermenter at somewhere around 1.050 to 1.052 OG.

And I lost another hydrometer. That's it, I'm getting a thingymajiggibob, so I only need a few drops. Oh, it's a refractometer.

We have friends lobbing in shortly, and I have a Dunkelweizen, a Brown Porter, and an APA chilled and ready to quench our thirst.

Hmmm, I could see that working well. Its a good yeast for bringing out malty flavours (1007). Might try that.

Here's the first all grain beer I've done. Only a 12L batch, but easy with BIAB and my 20L pot. Seemed to hit my numbers so I'm pretty excited! Still a bit of noob when it comes to holding the mash temps, but i aimed for around 66c and it hovered within a degree or two using the stove to add heat when it cooled a bit much.

Anyone tried a similar mish mash of beers? In my head it seems awesome, but chances are it will be pretty average haha.

Belgian Wit x Black IPA

Original Gravity (OG): 1.054
Final Gravity (FG): 1.014
Alcohol (ABV): 5.31 %
Colour (SRM): 20.3
Bitterness (IBU): 57.3

1.5kg American 2-Row
1kg Wheat Malt
250g Flaked Wheat
100g Carafa III Special malt
100g Dark Crystal
50g Light Crystal

Using Citra and Chinook. 5g Citra FWH, then 10g of both @ 15, 5, 1 and flame out. Bit excessive but why not :blink: Not planning on dry hopping, so went a bit crazy with the last additions.

Plus some chamomile flowers, coriander and mandarin zest (didn't have any oranges). Only a little of each tossed in with 5mins to go.

Tried Safbrew T-58 for the first time and had airlock activity within 12 hours.

 

[manticle]

Possibly not my choice of recipe for a first with so many variables but hope it works out for you.

Too many competing flavours on paper for my liking but maybe you'll make it work. Either way congrats on your first AG.
