What Are You Brewing III

[manticle]

I'd like to say I'll save you a bottle Screwy, and I'll try, but this one is going to the keg for the first time ever...

I have bucketloads of sour oranges this year so there will be more.
The munich wort experiment version really didn't work so I need to get some more down...

Any more info about sour oranges? Are they seville oranges? I have a funked beer which uses sour citrus but it's a mixture of grapefruit and blood orange. Wouldn't mind getting my hands on some different fruits and trying out Ross' sour orange choc porter and a few other ideas.

They are called a Rangpur Lime, or Mandarin Lime, but it's easier to just say Sour Orange, as they look orange but are sour like a lime, but with a hint of mandarin flavour.
They are a really intense fruit. Great for 'lemonade', cooking and beer.

Cheers. Going to go looking in the markets.

Cheers. Going to go looking in the markets.

Being based in Melbourne your markets will be a lot better than mine but you'd have to be lucky to find them there I think.
I don't know of course...
We had to search out a specialist grower to identify the tree in the first place.

Just finished the clean up. House lager 4.25kg Pils, 1kg rice, 250g Carapils, 23ibu (Tinseth 29rager) hallertau 60min.
This time I'm giving wlp830 another run instead of the regular wy2308. Got a bit lazy with my infusion volumes and ended up with too much wort, nearly overflowed my 40L pot! SG was good so I discarded 2 litres and still ended up with 25 litres in the fermenter, aiming for 24.

Brewday/Beerday here tomorow. Shed101 and I will be turning this out 50/50

Well I feel I should correct this ... Screwy did the brewing, I just stood around gasbagging, distracting him and drinking all his beer

It was a top day thanks Mr Screwtop!

All up we 'sampled' 16 types of beer ... some more than once :wacko: :blink:

Hehe, didn't drink anywhere near enough to provide more space for another brew

HERMS brewing is all pretty much "hurry up and, wait" eh! not very hands on. Next time you drive the rig!!

Yeast still hasn't fired, 5pm is decision time.


Top day, thanks!

 

[RdeVjun]

A Munich Helles:
95% Bohemian Pilsner
5% Carapils
Single decoction from protein rest to mash temp (64C)
15IBU Saaz bittering (low AA%)
8IBU Hallertau Mittelfreuh flavour
Generous starter of 2247PC @ 10C

Didn't like the Polenta version much so dropped it out this time.

 

[Rodolphe01]

Presently christening* my new urn with 'Nutcastle' from brewing classic styles. It will be beer, but probably got the grain subs all wrong etc.

* Jebus came with the house

Cheese us! Have you noticed any change in your beers or process? More cheesy? Levitation...that kind of thing?

 

[Rodolphe01]

well the change i hope will be for the better, my first 'full size' all-grain... thus far i have an hours extra boil to do because the grain held onto half as much wort as expected... or i might just drop out the extra volume into schott's and use for starters and correct gravity with LDME. I think I will do that actually...

 

[Screwtop]

Yeast still hasn't fired, 5pm is decision time.

Yeast fired by 5pm, going mongrel by 8pm, it's an and sitting at 19.6C
