What Are You Brewing III

[sponge]

Hoping to get myself a simple lager brewed either tomorrow or Saturday for a mates party that is coming up.

100% pils
100% hallertau
S-189 @ 12'C

1.048
28IBUs (14IBU's @ FWH, 14IBUs @ cube)


EDIT: It's quite convenient being able to brew ales at ambient which free's up the fermenting fridge for a couple of lagers before the warmer months kick in.

Didn't get around to brewing this last weekend, so hoping to get a chance tomorrow.

Made some upgrades to the brewery today as well so will hopefully be able to test it all out...

Couple of changes though to help bring the pH down a little.

98% pils
2% acid
1g/L hallertau @ FWH
0.5g/L hallertau @ cube
3g CaCl2 @ mash

1.045
27IBUs
S-189 @ 12'C

Just made and pitched a Red Lager with some WLP800

1KG CaraRuby
0.5KG Wheat
Mash, 58, 63, 72, mash out.

I really like how the 1272 gives a slight tart finish to the hops

Haven't brewed for about 7 weeks. Need to do some serious catching up.
Had to make repairs to my kettle. The washer on the tap had perished inside the kettle, so needed to make a new washes from some sheet neoprene (solid, not the wetsuit stuff).

Also had to throw out the mash cover used in the mash tun, for the reason, read on.

Here's a handy hint, for me and anyone else with the same lazy bones as I have. Do NOT leave it for 6 weeks to empty and clean your mash tun and kettle. Almost enough to turn you off beer forever. Clean, clean, clean it all on the day, or at the latest, the next morning.

Or when you sober up.....

[Bizier]

Brewing kind of an alt.

I have company warming under my burner.

 

[manticle]

Pretty little lady. Hope she re-settles somewhere out of the way.

 

[Bizier]

yeah the only spider I'll go out of the way to kill is a funnel web. They scare me.

I'm really enjoying having a dark mild on tap, so gonna make a low- alc beer a regular on the taps.

Fair enough. Funnel webs are aggressive, red backs are timid/reclusive

It will be cubed, so I will probably basically make the last addition just before flameout.

I am unsure what yeast I will use, but probably a German lager.

Brewing an alt makes me think of the Sepultura song Altered State

ED: bugger it, I will chuck some more styrians in at the end. I don't care if it is out of style.

 

[manticle]

I got a first in vicbrew using styrians in an alt (bittering and flavour/aroma) a couple of years ago. Great hop, works well in so many beers - even apa with cascade.
