I just ordered grain for this American amber ale. I'm not sure if I should bump up the IBUs a little to balance out all the crystal. Thoughts?

Curious to see how that one turns out Mark. Sounds quite nice indeed.. Have you brewed a roasty saison before?

No matter how hard I try, I just can't get the same amount of fruitiness in taste and aroma as the real S & W Ale. I get too much bitterness as well, even after reducing bittering hops to 30 minutes.

Does anyone know if they use hops other than Galaxy? Is US-05 the right yeast? Do you think S & W might use fruit essences?

Any advice welcome.

Cheers,

Rummy
 
Had a brewday with a fellow brewer yesterday, and a visit from another.

Started off really nicely with my dumping 25 litres of APA with an acetobacter infection. Gave the fermenter fridge a good clean and a solid spray of bleach to kill any remaining nasties.

Managed to put down an Amercian Amber Ale in the afternoon to make up for it.
 
Nah sponge, never brewed a saison let alone a roasty one. Dont brew many stouts either so who knows haha. Will let you know. Loving my mild brewed with beire de garde yeast though :)

Hi Rummy,
I made the "Sticks and stones" recipe by Daemon: http://aussiehomebrewer.com/recipe/877-sticks-and-stones/
and adapted it to my BIAB system to do a 21L partial. IMO it is not bitter enough, and very heavy on the passionfruit flavour/aroma.

That yeast is a fairly hungry bugger, I'd expect it to around 1.007 or lower too.

I guess a lot of people did election day ales, I've called mine Landslide IPA:

2 Kg Light DME
1.5 Kg Coopers Light LME
500g Simpson Crystal Pale
300g Joe White Caramalt

45g Mosaic 11% @ 15min
30g Mosaic 11% @ flame out

est EBC 25.8 est IBU 50.1 OG 1.056 batch size 23L

Yeast: Danstar Nottingham, rehydrated and pitched at a whopping 26 degrees, dropped to 20 degrees overnight and then it took off like a rocket, temperature went back up to 24 degrees even though it wasn't exposed to temperatures anything like that.
