[_HOME_BREW_WALLACE_]

Picked up the ingredients from craftbrewer on wednesday.
Manticles Strong Cream Stout

Got 2 Batches of beer to bottle first, and 3 to ferment. Then i have 3 empty cubes to play with

 

[raven19]

Keen to know how it comes out. Is it the recipe from the radieuse thread?

Sorry, delayed response CM2. But yes mate, very similar to Jacub's posted recipe. We dropped the sugar as I managed to get a 10% improvement in efficiency! Also added some Magnum to get to the correct IBU's as the Hersbrucker was low on a AA%.

Mine wont be fermented for a few weeks/months due to other NC cubes needing fermenting first. But Maltyhops will be fermenting his soon I believe.

Recipe as follows:

1 RIMS - Single Infusion temp
Step Time Name Description Step Temp
90 min Mash In Add 56.61 L of water at 70.3 C 65.0 C
10 min Mash Out Heat to 78.0 C over 5 min 78.0 C


Notes:
------
27.04.11 Brewed with MaltyHops. Maxed out mash tun, then mashed remaining portion in medium esky. Initial mash in temp was high,drained some wort, added cold back in. RIMS settled down to around 65 after 30mins of up and down with such a large mash. Fly sparged, fnie crush (by others) and slow sparge technique resulted in massive efficiency boost. 80%. Sugar removed from the recipe as such to keep close to OG aim.
3x NC Cubes filled. Good brew arvo.

Manticle,

Are those pilsner malts so different that you couldn't use just one?

My brew shop guy had none of the Dingemans for my order yesterday (brewing tomorrow) so he gave me Weyermann instead so I am interested to know.

[manticle]

I based my original recipe on the suggested duvel grist from brew like a monk which suggests they use 3 different Belgian pilsner malts. I'm aiming to give dimension which belies the idea that it's just one pale malt.

I love both Weyermans and Dingemans so the character they both give is welcome. They are not incredibly different but subtle character differences are notable. That said - I've yet to brew this recipe with just the one malt and see how it compares.

Hard to go wrong with either malt in my opinion.

Rye IPA

Batch Size (L): 23

Original Gravity (OG): 1.072
Bitterness (IBU): Not quite sure.
Mash Time: 90
Boil Time : 90


Grain Bill:

BB ALE 60%
RYE 20%
Crystal 120 7.5%
Wheat 5%
Biscuit 5%

Hop Bill:

Magnum to 15 IBU @40min
Chinook to 25 IBU @40min
Cascade 20 grams into the cube
Centennial 20 Grams into the cube

I will draw three litres before I pitch and boil 30 grams each of Cascade and Centennial for 10min and a crap load of cascade at flame-out.

Misc:

Yeast Nutrient @ 10min
Wirfloc @ 10min


This is my first go at recipe formulation.... Well, at least the rye smelt good while mashing. Stuffed up whirlpool a little bit of hotbreak/trub got in the cube, but all should be good. Missed my volumes and had to top up cube with 2l of boiling water.

I will throw it on a 1272 yeast cake during the week.


Im making a randal tomorrow, so i may just test it out on this brew.

Decoction step mash
55 for 10
62 for 10
69 for 50
72 for 20
Mash out

My handy immersion element just decided to stop working so step mash schedule is more like

55 for unknown, add extra hot water after stirring with ineffective element wondering why temp isn't increasing.
Swear at element, pull off housing in frustration, spike self in chest with bits of metal and rip favourite t-shirt.
Get to 59, remove decoction, get to 62 for longer than anticipated.
Boil decoction, get main mash to 69. Leave until next decoction has boiled for a bit.

Hopefully there's still a point to mashing out. Water volumes in tun currently unknown.

Supposed to be my case swap beer. If it turns out OK, I'll never be able to repeat it. If it turns out shit, then I won't force anyone else to drink it.

Least enjoyable brewday I've had in a while.

Hope your day gets better and you wernt tempted to use that super dooper watch my eyes light up chinese immersion heater.

You have to have one of those days every so often, just to remind you how good a hassle free day is :icon_cheers:

 

[manticle]

super dooper watch my eyes light up chinese immersion heater.

Learnt my lesson on that one a long time ago.

Cheers guys.

Kitchen smells like decoction mashing so it can't be all bad. Just means I need to adjust a few things next few brewdays till I can either replace my immersion or work out something else.

Can I recommend a RIMS upgrade fella? :icon_cheers:

Bugger about the element though.
