What Are You Brewing III

[Weizguy]

Half-way through running off. Tastes awesome, mild oak smoke, and bock-y maltiness. Hoping for OK efficiency and a no-stick sparge. Will soon add the remaining sparge water, stir, recirculate and run off, while commencing the 90 minute boil. Will add a dose of yeast nutrient, and then 10 min before boil end, a whirfloc tab. Remember, any cloudiness comes from the yeast, not the beer.

I'm thirsty for a beer now! Maybe a Potter's porter after the boil commences...

Where'd you get the oak smoked wheat malt from?

Weyermann Eichenweizen malz from Mark's Homebrew, Newcastle. Ive had it a few months now, and finally got a day off to brew, and conveniently pitch on to the yeast cake of the weizen I brewed about a week ago.

 

[Midnight Brew]

Had a spare cube of Australian Ale so converted it to an APA (turns out I'm not a fan of coopers yeast)

13B. Apollo APA
93% JW Ale
5% JW Wheat

FWH Australia Cluster to 30IBU
Apollo 18.9%AA at 10 and 5 to bring IBU total to 42.

What temp did you ferment the first cube at with the coopers yeast ?

 

[Midnight Brew]

Only 18C should have been 20C. In the first few weeks it was completely stripped of all flavour it was just completely muted, no character. Then after that period it started tasting more and more like a more gutsy version of a VB/CD. Which I was actually quiet impressed with as a clone beer. It's going to be my go to yeast for megaswill clones but not the flavour I'm after. I do appreciate it for what it is and I do understand I fermented too low but next time Id be fermenting at 20C. I would ferment this at 20C now and keg but I've got a few other things on my brewing 'to do list' first.

Took me four days last time with a fairly decent krausen. It was ahead at the last length, then BRY97 went boom, tried to climb out of the fermenter and it was a photo finish.

Dropped clear too.

Still prefer Windsor but we'll see how the end product works out.

that done on stovetop 2 pot with lauter method?

 

[Lord Raja Goomba I]

that done on stovetop 2 pot with lauter method?

Absolutely. Pretty easy with these smaller grain bills - when the grist is > 6kg it requires a little more juggling, but this was a pretty cruisey brew day.

I'm also finding (now you asked) that it works better when the lauter tun and esky are outside. No mess in the kitchen with all spillages being absorbed by the outside pavers/concrete/grass.

Finished over gravity and needed a wee dilute, but nothing major.

I only have a few gravity points to go and sitting at 17 degrees still so I might bump it up a bit just to clean the last few up then cold crash.
