Not sure if this thread is still current or if one of the no. 4s is active but:

Landlord attempt tomorrow

House infection strikes again. Offending fermenter now sits in the bin, awaiting pay check so I can re-order the grains and hopefully another 1469 pack before they run out. I had such high hopes and the brewday went so well.

Put down a version of my hopbursty type APA on Friday but subbed out chinook for cascade. Tipped half the grain in before I realised I'd forgotten to fit the manifold. No matter how many times you brew or how much you think you know the process, you can always find yourself doing dumb things.
 
Managed to sneak this short brew in tonight, after a 4 day sour mini-mash under CO2 in a keg.

In a NC Cube now, awaiting fridge space.

some tasty beers being brewed by the looks of the last couple of pages of this thread... i might get a landlord clone going very similar to that one next... and the KISS dubbel looks intriguing...

just bottled a saison

50% weyermann vienna, 50% weyermann pils
52 IBU, mixture of cz saaz and styrian plugs, plus plenty for aroma
3711 - took me down from 1052 - 1001 (so = 6.8%ABV), even with a 67C mash and no sugar in it.... fermented it cool at 18-19C to see what would happen - REALLY spicy/peppery/phenolic!

I might have to plug an extra saison in this week, since I've got the ingredients while waiting for a bulk buy to finalise. Love 3711.

well I noticed I am down a little on the full bottles.

so the other day did my first Specially grain brew. I have cheated a little and went and got the Coo - ee! Aust Pale Ale Brew Pack form the Brewmaster @ Holden Hill to give that a go

adding that with the Coopers Pale Ale Extract

then Thursday after a Nice day out at the Range I did a Sparkling ale brew that has a bit of Hops added in to it as well.

so now have 46l of amber goodness sitting there.
 
Just cubed a smoked chocolate porter.

Smoked malt, MO, Trad Ale, Munich I, Caramunich, Caraaroma, Carafa Spec II, Choc malt, Columbus@90, EKG@5, OG 1.053, 25 IBU.

Hit an efficiency a full 10 points higher than my usual. Hope it doesn't change the beer too much.

Looks like a very interesting grain bill Bum... Care to share the .bsm file??

Any thoughts as to why your efficiency was up so much??
 
Probably because the intended OG was about 20 points lower than my usual.

The recipe was extremely closely based on Lucas' recipe in this thread: http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum//ind...32817&st=40

My only changes were the bittering hop and boil time for that addition. Oh, I didn't cold steep the darker grains either. Not much (any) smoke present in it at this point but early days yet, I guess.

[EDIT: oh yeah, I think I've used MO where he didn't]
 
Now I've finally got proper temp control the urge to do a lager has become too much. SWMBO is unfortunately a Pure Blonde drinker and I'm trying to get something similar but not shite. Although she is enjoying the Brit Pale Ale at the moment.

This is bubbling along its merry way now.
