What Are You Brewing III

[Judanero]

Brewed today:

Cicada Lager

5.4 kg Premium pilsener (Weyermanns)

69g Saaz (3.2%AA) @ 60
1 tsp yeast nutrient and brew brite added @ flameout

Mashed @ 66 for 90 mins

~75 min boil

30 secs of 02 into wort before pitching 2L starter

Wyeast 2000 (Budvar)

OG-1.050 total of ~24L in fermenter ferment temp of 11oc


While this ^^^ was mashing I knocked out this:

Pressure Pale Ale (Adapted from Neils Centennarillo ale in db)

2x Cans of Morgans lager light malt extract
~400g Dextrose, ~ 100g LDME

20g Green Bullet (13%AA) @ 30
40g Amarillo (8.9% AA) @ 20
40g Amarillo (8.9%AA) @ 10

Yeast = rehydrated US-05
30 sec O2 added to wort before yeast pitched
NB-Forgot to take OG before pitching yeast
Total in fermenter ~ 25L, ferment @ 18oc


If this extract brew (is the first extract I've done) works out ok, I can see me doing extract brews while another beer is mashing quite regularly.
Two brews in the same time :super:

Did this one yesterday, I went into the LHBS requesting ingredients for a Little Creatures Pale ale....I think he was a little off the mark.

2kg Simpson Maris Otter
2kg JWM Traditional Ale
1kg JWM Munich 1
0.5kg Bries Victo
20g Chinook @ 60mins
27g Chinook @ 20mins
30g Chinook @ 5mins

No chill

Post boil OG - 1.044

Pitched US-05 and threw in another 23g of chinook.

25 litres into ferment fridge at 18 degrees.

So, to those with far more experience than I......what am I going to end up with? It looks far from a pale ale.

 

[tazman1967]

Hops are wrong... where's the Cascade ?

 

[CoopsOz]

I know it isn't going to be a LCPA. When I came home with my loot and checked out the recipe I have for LCPA, I saw that the hop bill was 30g of East Kent Goldings @ 60mins and a combo of Chinook and Cascade till flame out. Hence my question.

Am I gonna get something drinkable or have I done $40 worth of ingredients. I guess I'll find out in 3 weeks.

Some sort of an APA id say

 

[tazman1967]

You have 77g of Chinook in there.. i hope you like pine ?
Put a heap of Cascade into dry hop, might make it drinkable.

 

[CoopsOz]

Ha, there is more than 77g...I dry hopped with it as well. I guess it's fooked. Next time I'll take the recipe into the home brew shop.

 

[tazman1967]

***** mate... give it a couple of months.. the hop taste might die down..

 

[CoopsOz]

Anyone tried "Stone Arrogant *******" IPA? It seems they don't mind a bit of Chinook either. I grabbed this from another brewing forum....no direct link as I'm unsure of AHB policy.

Chinook is polarising... You might find you love it, I do!

I'm trying Ahtanum out, did a double batch with a Magnum @ 60 to 25 IBU and then cube hopped 2 cubes

50g mosaic to both
100g Amarillo to 1 (2011 crop pack discovered in freezer, smelled just fine)
120g Ahtanum to the other

Plan on fermenting at the same time to compare, some people have likened the 2 but I read conflicting reports so only one way to know for sure..

Do it myself as a side by side

Would be very keen to hear the results of this - am planning to buy some Ahtanum in my next hop order.

[manticle]

Just went to keg an aipa and wondered why it wasn't running out of the cube.

Temp probe fell out of the fermenting/conditioning fridge so the brew froze over. Hopefully not too long before it melts. No I won't be trying to make eisIPA.
