well it turns out my dunkelweizen had a 1:40 boil! dont ever expect to get to chapel st and back (16KM) within an hour on a saturday with roadworks, football and weekend drivers. <_<

nothing a 5L top-up of the kettle wont solve, unfortuantly it might be hard to replicate if its a winner! :icon_cheers:

Ohh it is safe as houses, i leave the boil rolling all the time. Can fit more work in that way.
 
I cubed up this guy yesterday afternoon:

Munich Helles

5.00 kg Pilsner (Weyermann) (1.7 SRM) Grain 89.77 %
0.45 kg Munich I (Weyermann) (7.1 SRM) Grain 8.08 %
0.12 kg Melanoidin (Weyermann) (30.0 SRM) Grain 2.15 %
14.00 gm Magnum [14.00 %] (60 min) Hops 20.1 IBU

90 mash at 67, 90 minute boil. It smelled AMAZING going in to the cube - so richly malty. I can't wait to throw some yeast in to this one.

Put this down today, using only ingredients which i had tons of at home anyway. Have been given 20kg of Mystery Grain which i used, see notes below.
It's gotten pretty out of style, first time FWH, looking forward to the bitter kick. Also first time i brewed during the day, usually start around 7pm and go all night.
Had to go with a 15L batch, as both fridges and all 20L cubes are full, and only had 15L cubes left. Will start ferment in a month or later, when fridge space becomes available.

Just pitched a jar of slurry of WY1968 from an IPA bottled yesterday.
This one's a Pommy Ale of some sort.

23.5 litres OG 1.048 About 40 IBU
454.00 gm Lyle's Golden Syrup [Boil for 10 min] Extract 10.08 %
3500.00 gm Pale Malt (2 Row) UK (5.9 EBC) Grain 77.71 %
200.00 gm Crystal Malt - 60L (Thomas Fawcett) (118.2Grain 4.44 %
200.00 gm Crystal Medium (145.0 EBC) Grain 4.44 %
100.00 gm Wheat Malt, Dark (Weyermann) (13.8 EBC) Grain 2.22 %
50.00 gm Carafa Special T2 (1150.0 EBC) Grain 1.11 %
40.00 gm Challenger '06 [7.90 %] (60 min) (First Wort) Hops 34.7 IBU
20.00 gm Styrian Goldings [2.30 %] (10 min) Hops 1.5 IBU
30.00 gm Fuggles [4.00 %] (10 min) Hops 4.3 IBU
1 Pkgs London ESB Ale (Wyeast Labs #1968) jar of yeastcake.

The Lyle's was to lighten the body of the beer somewhat after mrs warra complained that all my beers have too much body. I don't agree, but we need to humour our better halves for the sake of peace.
 
100g of chinook flowers soak up a lot of wort, i did allow for it this time.

The smell was amazing although i did spend most of the boil with my nose stuck in the packet which still had traces of yellow lupilin.

Addicted much? :icon_drool2:

Are you squeezing the left over (tasty) wort out of the hops DrS?
 
Knocking this out either before or just after the weekend, something easy for my mates to drink at my bday whilst at the same time cleaning out a few ingrediants - im really trying to get through all the old malt that I have lying around so I can get some fresh stuff cranking again!! Its actually quite a task but the good thing about it is it has me brewing different types of beers again!

1.6kg Global Pilsner
900g Global Munich
500g Golden Promise
300g Global Cara Dark
150g Cara Amber
60g Roast Barley
220g Cane Sugar

60 - 5g Southern Cross 13.2%, 10g Pacifica 4.5%
20 - 20g Pacifica

Bugger of a hop variety Smurts, really addictive!!!

Bottled this on the weekend SMASH n Citrash Ale, which is:

4.5 kg Weyermann Premium Pilsner
15 g Citra (Pellets, 11.1 AA%, 60 mins)
7.5 g Citra (Pellets, 11.1 AA%, 30 mins)
15 g Citra (Pellets, 11.1 AA%, 15 mins)
7.5 g Citra (Pellets, 11.1 AA%, 0 mins)
15 g Citra (Pellets, 11.1 AA%, 0 mins)
5 ml Danstar - Nottingham

Mash at 65 degrees for 90 minutes, boiled for 90 minutes with relevant hop additions.

Smells fantastic when bottled, similar to my Nelson Sauvignon Cerveza, though not quite as wine-y.

Addictive?

I didn't throw away the plastic bag the hops were in.

Had a good snort of the bag this morning and its still aromatic 2 days later :icon_drool2:

If i take it with me to work and occasionally have a good long snort is that the first signs of an addiction or am I way past the first sign? :blink:
