What Are You Brewing III

[sponge]

Snip away good sir (as the jew said to the mohel... :huh: ). I'm just trying a few little experimental brews at the moment to finalize some recipes for my wedding next year.

I normally do my 1469 at 20'C for english ales, but trying a cooler approach for the AAA. I may have only tried 3-4 english yeasts thus far, but 1469 really is my favourite and keep coming back to it.

 

[Rowy]

I was the same now I just use 1469 for everything.

 

[seamad]

I was the same now I just use 1469 for everything.

It is an awesome yeast, would be my house yeast now.

Cal chloride to mash and boil.

 

[doon]

Are you achieving same profile with that mash as with your milds?

 

[manticle]

Very similar. I made a pale mild based on the dark and the above is simply a slightly bigger version.

 

[doon]

I am drinking a mild right now based off your mashing schedule. Great beer

 

[manticle]

Funny - about to crack one myself. Glad you like it.

 

[lukiferj]

I took a keg of dark mild along to the qld case swap last week. Slightly different recipe but manticle's mash schedule. Got some pretty good feedback on it. I love it and will be trying it with a few different recipes to have a few different session beers on hand.

Credit where credit is due - I came across the idea for short high mashes in relation to mild from Butters via BribieG.

Credit where credit is due - I came across the idea for short high mashes in relating to mild from Butters via BribieG.

Agreed. Just saying it wasn't my idea. But it certainly works

 

[Florian]

Just 'hand fly sparging' a Cascade & Citra Pils, after my keg of Cascade Pils blew two days after the swap.

Did my beloved overnight mash, 4h/15 - 5m/53 - 40m/63 - 40m/71 - 4h/76, ready for sparging at 9am.

Brewed this yesterday:

Heisenberg Maximator (Doppelbock)

6 kg Pilsener (GER)
2.2 kg Light Munich (GER)
0.2 kg Caramunich 3 (GER)
0.3 kg Roast Barley (UK) - cold steeped overnight in ~2.5L, added to wort until desired colour obtained (bout 3/4)
0.1 kg Melanoidin (GER)
0.1 kg Acidulated (GER)

35g Magnum (13%AA) @ 30 mins (No chill so approx 32 IBU)
1 tsp yeast nutrient and brew brite added @ flameout
Maxi BIAB (1/3 mashed in esky @ 66 for ~ 100 mins, no mash out) (2/3 mashed in stockpot, mash in 54 for 10, 68 for 90, mash out 78 for 10)

Both lots sparged with ~ 5L of 78 degree water.

3 hour boil, 23L into cube

OG:1.086

Thinking of adding one "brew enhancer 2" (because it's sitting there)

Does anyone know how many gravity points that would add? And is 32 IBU enough for a beer like this?


Cheers

 

[citizensnips]

That would be a beast of a beer with be2, don't know how many gravity points but probably around 2% more to your beer. You pitching onto cake or got a huge *** starter?
