What Are You Brewing III

[gregs]

Well over the Easter weekend I've brewed a double batch of English Northern Brown and a double of Galaxy APA also a double batch of E.S.B, put down 46L of Cascade A.P.A and 22L of Mild, and then washed 9 kegs. All in all it's been a great weekend and I thoroughly enjoy it.

Any ideas as to a yeast to use on the Northern Brown?

Might try to sneak this one past the keeper Tmorrow, if not it will be friday afternoon brewtime.

The general recommendation is to use a more attenuative British yeast, like London Ale W1028 or the WhiteLabs equivalent.
I hope the Northern Brown works well for you. Another style for me to attempt this year.

Tomorrow or Friday I'll have a second crack at a plain drinking Aussie bitter. I'm usually brewing malt heavy beers so I'm having a go at getting a decent recipe for a few different things that are different from my usual bent including some hoppier beers and this one. The first time I tried this I ran out of gas after a 50 minute boil, then panicked when it tasted bland while it was cold conditioning (of course a single bittering addition in cold just fermented beer will be bland) and dry hopped with tettnang. It was drinkable but odd and not what was intended. This time I'll have back up gas.

My calculator gave me 37. Anything under 40 is OK with me - not intending to push the levels with this one though. It's meant to be easy drinking, something friends will enjoy, a relief from dubbels and oatmeal stouts but still have something going for it that distinguishes it from the average cheap beer available at the shop.

Should I knock it back a touch - maybe 35@60?

For a basic ale I'd drop it back to around 25, nothing wrong with a single 60 minute hop addition considering the style. I'm not sure about the biscuit either, personally I'd be tempted to simplify it a bit and leave it out. My "Summer Ale" which has been a big hit with non-craftbrew drinkers is simply BB Galaxy + 5% BB wheat (62c mash) + 60 minute hop edition to about 22 IBU's) then 1056 yeast. A hint of malt flavour still there and it's still light years above XXXX or VB in terms of taste.

 

[manticle]

I tend to chuck biscuit in everything because I've yet to find a brew that doen't benefit from its qualities.

I ummed and aahed about going as high as mid 30s with this one as I know usually they err on the side of low IBU. I've just been very much enjoying a lingering, not over the top but distinct bitterness I've been getting from beers around the 35 - 40 mark. I'm also looking at making it an introductory beer for firends who want to know if I can make 'normal beer' so introducing a couple of extras (higher bittering and slightly more malty/biscuity being the beginning points) without freaking them out is the aim.

It's a recipe I want to nail and add to the regularly brewed list so I can always tweak up or down. I don't want to start at 45 IBU though so I'm wondering how my recipator and screwy's software come in at almost 10 IBU difference. My spreadsheet (as in the one I 'use', not 'designed') uses Tinseth.

Last version was purely ale, wheat, biscuit and dex but I made the stuff up of dry hopping. The bitterness was supposedly 35 but no lingering slightly bitter finish to speak of which is what I'm chasing.

Did you mean 25 IBU or 25g by the way?
