[Effect]

Anzac IPA (was planned on being an APA - better efficiency made it an IPA)

95% Vienna
5% Caramunich

Mashed highish around the 66-68 area.

Was aiming for 1.050 - more likely in the 1.060 area though.

35 grams of both galaxy and pacific gem added throughout the boil (have no idea on the IBU, but it is probably going to be in the 60-80 range) (this is for a 21 litre batch)
40 grams of both galaxy and pacific gem at flameout. (works out to be 3.8 g/l of hops)

using a yeast cake of us-05 to ferment this one out. Wasn't planning on brewing today - got the day off because of some nasty shit that happened at work at 3am this morning that I got called in to help out with.

[white.grant]

Ssshhh...

 

[mje1980]

10 min hops only, hence, a 10 min US brown. Works ridiculously well, although it uses a lot of hops hehe

 

[mje1980]

Ssshhh...

I know, but they don't know the secret handshake!

Still got to brew the Duvel clone mentioned above (ingredients ordered and arriving in time for weekend hopefully) but if I can push out two batches over the weekend, I'm aiming to do my first India Pale Ale.

It's not being done till Friday or Saturday so any critiques is more than welcome:

You like your english hops then manticle
(haven't read start of thread)

It looks very good, I'd drop mash temp a bit, but that's just me.

Cheers

 

[manticle]

I do like English hops (and german noble and US and some AU. Never tried NZ in my own brewing). Combination of high temp and long mash seems to do the trick with UK styles for me. Add to that that the temp inside my tun is hard to measure accurately so I'm going with an estimated average depending on various values. Actual temp might be 67, might be 70.

loving your work Man...

Other business;

12kg pale
dash carared
pinch burnt wheat
I found loads Amarillo, Cascade, Aurora, Citra and Simcoe, so I might do a 90min IPA (10g mix every 5 minutes...). 1882.

So far, 1.060, preboil, which should leave me with 35l 1.084 - 78% eff...

oh, and don't ever ...ever buy cotton Swiss voile - it holds liquid better than tarpaulin, and don't rely on the flimsy string you've used on your last 12 brews - 12kg grain would normally weigh around 18kg wet. On this occasion, it weighed exactly 33kg (i weighed it after the slight mishap). It took 3 hours to 'drain'...

Boiling tomorrow. Can't be arsed tonight.

 

[mje1980]

Heating the HLT as i type. Stuff the reno's, they can wait!!. At a stage where i can't do too much with the floor, so im brewing today.
