What Are You Brewing III

[Spiesy]

I believe the original has Pride of Ringwood for bittering and Cascade late, and as far as the grain bill goes - I have heard Jane (former head brewer of MG) interviewed on The Brewing Network, and she stated: "Australia Ale Malt, UK Crystal and Roast Malt".

She also said 1045OG, 1012FG and 22IBU. I believe it's a 4.5% beer.
Exact colour I'm unsure of, although I'm sure it could be worked out quite easily.

Mountain Goat use US05 as yeast, and perform single-step infusion mashes.

I ended up mashing at 67 to try and get a slightly higher FG and a tad more body.

On thurs I hope to brew a Christmas saison.

82.4% dingemans pils
7.4% raw wheat
7.4% flaked barley
2.9% biscuit malt.

Hallertau 60 mins
Calypso 10mins

Wyeast 3725 beire de garde.

1.035
17 IBU

At this gravity, normally my bitters and milds will end up around 3.5%, but this yeast will take it right down to around 1.005, quite possibly less, so I should have an interesting, yet session strength ale for Christmas Day. I'll put a beire de garde brune on the yeast cake.

1.2kg....woah!

This must be for a 40-50lt batch ?

and no dry hopping h34r:

 

[contrarian]

Knocked out a batch yesterday that was thrown together with very little research or calculation so am hoping it turns out ok. Was mainly wanting to learn a bit about JW pilsner malt and calypso hops.

40L into cubes

8kg JW pilsner
0.5kg JW crystal

20g calypso at 20, 10, 5 and 0

Plan to use S-05 at 18C

Depending on calculator and no chill factors IBU should be 25-30.

OG 1.045 (estimate)

Hoping for a nice light refreshing beer or at least something drinkable!

 

[black_labb]

been doing a few english ales to get the handpump running again and have a big bag of JW vienna amongst some bits and pieces.

All are 23L batches, all are fermented on ringwood (at least that's the plan...)
bitter
1.5kg JW vienna
2kg golden promise
250g brown
250g crystal

bittered with 20g summer saaz and 15g saaz (save them plugs for late hopping)
cubed with a styrians plug and a willamette plug (14g each, couldn't decide)

near smash english ipa
5.5kg jw vienna
bittered with 15g saaz
50g pacific gem in the cube
may dry hop or hop tea into the "cask" with more pacific gem, but might do some with some little casks with some challenger or styrians


Northern Brownish

2kg golden promise
1.5kg vienna
1kg galaxy pale
250g brown
250g jw light crystal
300g caramunich III

40g saaz@60
3x14g styrian goldings plugs @ cube
10g summer saaz @ cube

Probably dry hop this one, but I'm not sure what I will hop it with at this stage anyway (still have 30 minutes to change my mind anyway)

 

[Thefatdoghead]

1.2kg....woah!

and no dry hopping h34r:

It is indeed a 40 liter batch and plenty of dry hopping. Used 100g of Citra pellets in the new Blichmann hop rocket too, yum!

no worries using the pellets through the rocket?

I put them in a hop bag. I transferred from kettle through pump then rocket then chiller. It was good flow by gravity and pump. No worries at all. Really clear wort all the way too. Thought I'd have problems with all the hops in the boil. I used a hop sock though.

Edit: spelling/iPhone fat fingers

 

[DJR]

hmmm, should try the hop bag in the rocket trick. Plenty of pellets to use and not so much choice of flowers here I'd probably pack it so the mesh had flowers all over it then put pellets in.

 

[brettprevans]

Double batch of mt goat high tale ale however it a 6% version
tgen run a gyle off and hit it with loads of saaz and tett.

fk I hate it when u cant figure out why the mash isnt heating up... herms on. Check. Power point on. Check. Temp controller working check. Play with flow to see if any change in temp. Check.....20min it takes me to see that the herms power cord isnt plugged into the herms. DOH!!!

This will be in the bag on Saturday.

Should be yummy!

25 litre American Blonde Ale

4.5kg Barrett Burston pale malt
0.23kg Weyermann Carahell

27.5g Glacier Hops (~20 IBU)

Mash at 67°C, for 60 minutes. Mash out and sparge with about 20 litres of water at 76°C.

Whirlpool and drain to fermentor.
After whirlpool, I can see all the way to the bottom of the kettle. Sooo clear!

Pitch a 1.3 litre culture of American Ale yeast (may be YeastLabs yeast - revived from a culture left under water in the fridge since May 2008) and ferment at 19°C. Pitched today.

Simple enough?

yup nice and simple. Ive got a bag of glacier. Could be a goer. Nice simple summer quencher.

 

[Weizguy]

My thoughts too. Easy, quick, guzzle-able.
I've made this before and the hop flavour makes it through the 60 min boil and really enhances the beer.
Was hoping to get a bit less yeast character this time, with a bigger pitch and lower ferment temp.
We'll see.... The wort tastes great already. O.G. is about 1.051

Partial-Mash Kolsch

Brewing my first ever Kolsch for a German Beer night. Not alot of time to brew it and the f*%kin yeast took a week to get here (express post my arse). Hopefully the yeast will chew through it under two weeks to give me a vague chance of clarifying, bottling, carbing and at least a few days in the fridge before the night. Bugger all chance really but it should be the first Kolsch most of the people attending will have tasted so I will tell em its meant to taste like arse.

Recipe is a Frankenstein of various BYO articles, Brewing Classic Styles, online info etc.
