What Are You Brewing III

[Mantis]

That wheat brew looks great 4*, but where did you get the pandan leaves?

That wheat brew looks great 4*, but where did you get the pandan leaves?

'Minh Phat' Asian mega grocer just off Victoria St in Richmond. On Nicholson St, you can see it form the corner. $1.50 for 5 of them.

Ive been hanging out for them so i could do this beer. Its been a while since ive seen them in stock there (i attend once a week). i have another 3 beers in line with 8/8 full kegs atm. it might be a while before i can ferment this bad boy! Maybe it can skip the queue!

Still some work to do on your BJCP studies Fourstar......

Calcium chloride is CaCl2.

Calcium in the +1 oxidation state is a rare find...... Noble Prizes have been won with less, just ask Obama.

Being a lazy ******* myself i cant really chastise you for that!

Its just the scientist in me cringing, stands out like a pair of the proverbials.

I'm about to do my first all grain this week. BIAB in an urn. An Alaskan Amber clone altbier, closely followed by Fourstar's american IPA. I'm then planning a delirium tremens - just found the grains of paradise for it (in Warrnambool of all places). I'm like a beginning swimmer who is planning the paddling pool, big pool and the southern ocean in the first day.

Target Apparent Attenuation:: 76.9 % Actual Apparent Attenuation: 100.0 %

Thats the best attenuation I've ever seen barls, would have been a bit dry though

Sorry couldn't help myself, just being a dick.

Wish I could keep good records of what happened on my brew day as opposed to what I had planned

I brewed an Aussie ale on the weekend and went through 3 bottles of nearly empty gas to boil my wort. What a pain in the ass, try recording that. Let alone if the beer is good, try replicating that brew day again :blink:

I wish i could get calamansi limes, had to go the old tahitian lime. chewing on pandan leaf is tannic and bitter, you spit out the leaf and all you end up with is a beautiful nutty rice/malty flavour on the palate! It's awesome! Hopefully its a show stopper and doesnt end up like lemon/lime dishwashing liquid!

cool! i love pandan! i will give something like this a go for sure...
have made pandan and gula melaka and coconut icecream, that was bloody good....


just put this down: (just for a change from the 100 line promash printouts) SMASH Saazon:
100% weyermann pils malt to 1048 OG, 80g saaz bittering, 20g saaz flameout, 3724.
currently off and away at 30 degrees outside under the bbq with yeast swimming everywhere like it's in a blender
