What Are You Brewing III

[Eater]

2nd attempt at a red ale, difference being addition of carapils and upping of base grain bill to suit (according to Beer Smith) seems to have arrived ata much less "red" lustre than first attempt with no carapils. FG was down a few points but if it turns out taste wise like the first, should be a nice ale

I am heating the water for a dortmunder and a rauchbier. Hope to mash in, in less than 30 mins. Having a nice cup of smoked tea to get into the right frame of mind.

My first kit in close to two years. I've been meaning to set myself the challenge of making a kit taste good for a long time. As I brewed more and started adding better ingredients, I was also learning more about better processes so it will be good to see if my processes can make a good kit. Being very short on time and having not brewed for 3 weeks I decided today was the day-

1 tin coopers real ale
100g choc malt
100g med crystal
50g carafa II
50g roast barley

20g EKG for 30 minutes
Ringwood slurry from my case swap batch (not the whole cake).

Nice i thought i would give the real ale a whirl in my kind of bastardised JS amber ale.

1 tin of real ale
1 tin of amber liquid malt
500g LME
1kg of sugar

Its getting there and turning a nice amber colour and about 7% alcohol. :icon_cheers:

Thanks mate, i thought it looked pretty cool, that's why i took the pic. A bitch to get the mash temp right, but hit the OG spot on, even though i over sparged a little.

Managed to fire up my kettle about an hour earlier than normal because my brew day is going so smoothly. In my eagerness to go flame on I didn't realise the taps at the burner were open. FIREBALL! Luckily I got most of myself out of the way, just singed my arm and scared the shit out of me...won't need that 2nd coffee. :unsure:

Chucked a sickie today, so I though an AG brew was in order. Just doing the mashout on Nick's Citra APA. Bit wobbly on the mash temps though, hit 65.6 at the start, great, went to check how well the tun held heat at mashout and got 67 :huh: Oh well, only 2nd AG so still got alot to sort out. Hopefully I get better than the mid 60's efficiency I got on AG number 1

What do you put in an american india black ale?

Would you mind posting a list of the ingredients?

I assume it's something like a US Porter only stronger?

Just half way through mash of this one. Bit on the high side for bitterness.
Was aiming for something similar to the SC Best Bitter

Basically the same as an IPA but using carafa special II at sparging time to get it to go as black as possible without getting the roast flavour coming through.

So it would have been pilsner/munich/crystal/carafa and a mixture of columbus and centennial in your favourite hop regime. Would also be using ringwood yeast as mashing about 67. Thoughts are that the ringwood is low attenuating and the mash should give it a bit of body, so that if there is any roast flavour it should be muted through the residual sugar (think adding sugar to your coffee).

Late start to what was going to be a double brew day.

1st up is the KLB Nut Brown challenge mashing now, and time permitting I'll brew another Smokin Porter.

rec for nut is in the sam smith thread with a few tweaks.
