What Are You Brewing III

[NickB]

Well if it's any consellation I'm sinking BrewDog Punk IPAs ATM, brewing an Aussie Lager, and listening to the Hottest 100... I know the Archive were having a Hottest 100 party today... Wonder what te aftr party will be like... Keen if you are...

 

[Bribie G]

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.

Sorry haven't checked this thread for a few days. Yes the toucan is just those ingredients plus Nottingham although I'm out of it so I'll just use the two kit lid yeasts, they can take up to 10% AFAIK. Then on day four put in a handful of any aroma hop. Anything. After a couple of litres you won't G.A.F about the aroma anyway, you'll only be thinking of nookie or pizza . Not necessarily in that order.

B)

On topic I have just brewed today Manticle's db Young's London Special Ale, subbing Bairds Perle, and Progress instead of Target. I put the late additions pellets straight into the cube. Four hours five minutes from go to woah. I've blogged it on Jim's Beer kit BIAB forum if interested.

Spoken like somebody who has tomorrow off .
The cunning plan is for brewing a batch of Rootin' Saison on Friday arvo after sussing out an intermittant fault on the mashmaster. Then a possible foray on Saturday to the Brewhouse.
A variation on the standard Rootin' Saison with an additional 100gms Acidified malt and 100gms Vienna.

Brewed this morning and just finished the clean up before the sun hits the side of the house and I melt.

Looks good, smells good and tastes good going in to the cube. The smell when those Sapphire (Saphir?) hops hit the wort was like stepping in to a good sauna. A rich cedar/pine aroma. Lovely!

Hey kev just wondering what type of beer you are after. Looks like you are going for a english ale of sorts by the grain and hops, but you have american yeast. I'm new to making my own recipes aswell so proablly won't be much help though.

 

[KevS69]

I don't know what "Type" of beer I'm after either, I'm just after a beer that tastes good to me & I'm experimenting with the ingredient I have on hand, Cheers Kev
