What Are You Brewing III

[mje1980]

Ooh any secrets for your saison??. I just kegged my first, will sneak in a half carbed taster in an hour or so

 

[Not For Horses]

Might have gone overboard with hops on this one but I will see how it goes, ended up mashing for 2 hours but only ended up with 59% efficiency, I did another the day before with the same grain bill but slightly different hop schedule to see how that goes.

Name inspired by my recent watching of Men In Black and the use of all Galaxy Hops.

1st and 2nd batch sparge go into IRIPA and 3rd batch sparge goes to gyle.

brew gods r punishing me. Stuck sparges 3 boil overs. Burnt more times than I care to admit

I think Im getting a brewday this weekend, thinking about doing my American Barleywine cross Imperial AIPA again... and taking bloody notes this time

A double batch, boiled 2.5 hours reduced to a single and aggressively hopped from Mash / FWH / Multiple Boil and a truckload at WP.

Incentive to come to the November meet

First time attempting to use Gypsum for a hoppy beer with some kind of conviction, based off EZ Water spreadsheet.
Fingers crossed, the last of a run of 'muddy, malty' Bitters and IPAs that has brought me to my knees (and to the bottleshop)

Just about to pitch some 1272 into a Dr Smurto's Golden Ale (my first) - I needed slightly more than the 80g of Amarillo I bought from G&G so I grabbed a small pack of mosaic, seeing as everyone is frothing over the stuff. I split the 10 and 5 minute additions 50/50 and I'll do the same with the dry hopping too.

That Rye IPA looks delicious, been looking to brew one for a bit, just one question on the malt bill, is the wheat malt just there for body/head retention?

pretty much. Esp with all that rye oil in there.

 

[Donske]

pretty much. Esp with all that rye oil in there.

Fair enough, might borrow your grain bill, probably go with a Chinook and Centennial combo though.

 

[brettprevans]

Its a cracker. Its the collaboration IRIPA brendo maple fourstar and I have made. Any good us hop combo will do. I was tempted to throw in simcoe but ill save it for a pliney elder clone

 

[Yob]

Managed to get a brewday under sufferance today, doing a double batch, Apollo to 25 IBU and then Cube hopping 2 different cubes.

The thing that strikes me is the eff. out of the new system, assuming my volumes are right, this **** is off the scale..

Brewmate estimated preboil at 1057 at 70% and im getting 1065 at boil (refractometer)

Booooyahhhhh!! The upgrade seems to be going just fine h34r:

OG = 1.047

EBC = 42.8
IBU = 27.5 [22.7 with HCF correction - when the bulk of hops added, Vol ~14L]

1kg JW Ale malt
1kg JW Munich malt
0.5kg JW Wheat malt
0.25kg Weyermann Vienna malt

½ Whirlfloc tablet @ 15min [Bugger - forgot the Whirlfloc!!]
10g CTZ @ 10min
10g Simcoe @ 10min
25gCTZ @ 5min
25g Simcoe @ 5 min

Mash
Mash Volume 20L at 69°C.
Aim for 66°C for 60min. Hit 66.2°C. Dropped to 65°C after 60min.
72°C for 10min. Took ~7-8min to hit 72°C
78°C Mash-out.


Sparge w 3L at 78°C. Used ~6L


Pre-boil vol = 22L
Est. post boil vol = 14L, add 9L cold tap water to bring to 23L
Add some of this (chilled) at Flameout to bring temp down below 80°C.

Ferment with BRY-97, hopefully at 18°C.

Possible names:
MMX Ale [MMX = 20 10 ... date of brewing]
20 10 Ale [the date, obviously, plus 20:10 vision is meant to be twice as good as nominal vision. I'm hoping this will be twice as good as a normal ale B) ]
The Monolith [reference to the Monoliths in 2010, the sequel to 2001: Space Odysssy]
I really like the name "Hop Odyssey", but the date is wrong, so it seems a bit fraudulent h34r:


Thoughts?

Thoughts?

Ezy being CTZ?
MMX sounds a bit dirt bikey and while I love the sci fi reference, I feel let down by 2010. Kubrick lends a special touch that was missing. If you named after 2010 I think you'd always be wondering 'what if Kubrick helped me brew this
?'
Recipe-wise, I'd say next time try NFH Viennese Waltz that I'm currently trialling. Might be a few months away yet.
