;)

Just cubed Andrew QLD's cooper's pale clone. First and last brew for January (will have to do a few FWKs between now and Feb for stocks)
 
Didn't get around to brewing the american brown that I recently posted...haven't had enough time. Luckily I got the day off today (still have 2 jobs to do though <_< ) and have brewed a batch for the latest Stammtisch Challange.

As it is a secret squirrel brew, I will only give a description...

Pale, Crystal and Wheat
Early and late additions of Pacific Gem, with late additions of B Saaz and Nelson Sauvin.
1.050 and 40 IBU

All the gear's on its way for Tony's LCBA..

2x26 for 52lt batch..

I've got windburn from licking my lips so much thinking bout it- and I've ruined my good pants...


Choice!!!
 
Sounds awesome Smurto - WLP833 is a great versatile yeast, will be interesting in a Czech pils. It's always one of the styles that eludes most homebrewers

Simple seems to work best for me so far in a bo pils. Love, LOVE WLP833. Ever since The Drunk Arab passed on a sample of this strain i dont use any other lager yeast.

Loving the look of the rye ESB Nick. I find rye goes well in a lot of beers and tops in a ESB. But then i put rye in everything.

Thinking about a beer for the stammtisch challenge for the next brew. Is homegrown Victoria too new world? Are they used in any commercial beer?
 
An Australian Sparkling of sorts:

88.6% Ale

Yeast from Coopers Sprakling dregs @ 17C.
 
Good effort, Raven! :icon_chickcheers:

Bet you lost a few kilos too.

Possibly! But Butters and I sank some beers during which balanced things out I reckon! :icon_cheers:

Would love to try this one mate (mainly because of the victoria). When you have it ready, come down to my place for a double batch brew day (half yours half mine). Would be good to chat about RO water, rain water and water chemistry.

Due to a misinterpreted order from a LHBS, I now have 5kg of this:

45% Flaked Wheat
50% Pilsner Malt
5% Caramalt

Any suggestions on yeast & hops to turn this into a tasty wheat/wit?

For a nice wit go for a single bittering addition of EKG to 15IBU, Wyeast 3944, some Coriander late in the boil. Yum. (not so sure about the carmalt? maybe up the IBU to 20 if the grain is already mixed and you can't remove it)

cheers
 
Cheers! Yeah, it's already mixed. It was supposed to be 5% oats, and then two additions of Hallertauer hersbrucker + corriander, orange peel & 3944.


I have no idea what the caramalt will bring to the party however.. other than a slight caramel taste.
