Damn, just realised I picked up BE1 instead of dex. No worries I'll just put in some sugaz to adjust. Gotta have that 9% or it just don feel rite.

Toucan stout eh Bribie?
Is that all that goes into the mix or would you care to share with us about any hops additions. :excl:
Just luv a good stout at winter time, and even six months is enough to have a few bottles aged about right.

What day is winter this year in Townsville? :p :lol:
 
Cracked open the first bottle of the Weizguys RE Weizen recipe tonight :chug: with Neil's Centenarillo to be brewed on Tuesday night
 
Brewing a tweaked version of Yardy's schwarzbier atm... making it a double batch.
 
Just started to CC this one. Thought i would give the Briess malts a go from G&G.
Also for the first time i used some Calcium Chloride in my mash and adjusted the PH of my sparge water.
I use rain water and its fairly Alkaline with not much in the way of minerals.

This was also the maiden run for my STC1000, kept this brew within .5 of 18C

What a massive difference these adjustments have made, i have been happy with my 5 previous AG beers
but this has just changed the game completely, i just sat here and really enjoyed sipping away at my Hydro sample!
The clarity in the flavours is most noteworthy, more defined, where as in previous beers they are there but more muddled.
Clarity in regards to appearance is much better as well.

Pale Ale Malt 2-Row (Briess) (6.9 EBC) Grain 85.71 %
Mild Malt - Ashburne (Briess) (10.4 EBC) Grain 8.57 %
Caramel Malt - 60L (Briess) (118.2 EBC) Grain 5.71 %
B Sazz and Amarillo to 43 IBU (Tinseth)
Flameout @ 1.5g / L
Wyeast 1272

Had to tweak the recipe due to missing ingredients and since I was tweaking I figured I might as well change the hops too (the real hops and missing grain arrives later this week so will brew the original version then and compare the two.

BTW brewing with a busted wrist isn't as much fun as I was expecting it to be, damn Brisy floods..... <_<
 
just finsihed the boil on my new munich barley wine and a mild from the second running s. smelt lovely, might do this one without brett.

Ooooh, I do like the sound of those. If you've added brett to one of these in the past, how did it turn out?

Soft Perry, you should be aiming to hit up the Archive bar this evening for Nick and wet his head with a beer.

Brewing an Aussie Lite Lager today

Should be a nice easy drinker in the style of Cascade Premium Light


Cheers
 
Bugger, I was planning on going tonight for it.

Stupid crossed wires.
 
Brewing a version of Tony's LCBA with some left over hops atm.

So you weren't considering going to BABBs tonight and Archive tomorrow? :p
Far-k its hot, its been raining that long I'd forgotten about summer heat.
I'll have to start cycling cubes through the fermenting fridge - or just brew saisons.
