Love this yeast

Mash effeciency went from 70% to 77% using 5.2 stabiliser for the first time, all previous brews ( 60+ ) has been 70% effeciency

Going to dump an Oatmeal stout onto the yeast cake

Looks nice Rooky !! You should have added keywords "bogan" or "boobs" or "goat" and I would have picked it quicker.

[barls]

Sounds good and interesting barls! I still haven't cracked the old ale from the first swap yet, maybe this weekend.

it should be im thinking of oaking it as well.
also made a smaller beer with the second runnings as i hit most of my volume in the first runnings.

My ingredients for my proposed Young's Special London Ale clone won't arrive till early next week so I'm aiming to brew an American Style Pale instead.
I'm not much of an American Pale kind of a guy so it's a s much a challenge for me as anything else. I've also been given a large amount of fresh chinook flowers and have tons of amarillo and some centennial so it makes sense.

Looking at hopbursting and would really appreciate feedback from more experienced brewers. Slightly darker so that it retains a malty backbone to balance the hoppiness.

Hey Mants, Nice to see you brewing outside your comfort zone. IMHO, be careful with the late kettle additions of Chinook. Although one of my absolute fav hops, any addition with less than 10min to go gives a strong bitterness perception (not directly bitterness, the mouth puckering bite kind) really like your schedule, less g's more often will give you a layering effect, perhaps even mix the hops up and hopburst low grams even more often.

Happy to consult, shoot me a pm if you want, I'll be out mashing in an ALT shortly.

[Bizier]

So what temp did you go with for the bulk of fermentation Bizier? I've got it set at 20 at the moment, but it's early days so I've got time to adjust before too much has gone on.

I'll want this beer to dry out a little but it isn't super important.

To be honest I didn't select this yeast for any really strong reason, just that the sour orange beer, I've made a version of this a few times now, works best with a good belgian yeast, and I couldn't decide what else I wanted to make, so I went for a yeast that looked like it had a few different beers in it.
I'll probably use this one again for the initial ferment of something sour, but I haven't decided for sure yet.

I fermented at about 20 as well, but I let it go to room temp for a few days to finish right out. I am not used to funkier yeasts, and this was another lesson chalked up. I am pretty happy overall, though I would suggest not overpitching, I overpitched one of my batches and it is not nearly as nice in the ester profile as my first.

Whew, what a day....just finished a Hefeweizen. Simple recipe, ******* of a mash schedule.

Went with 60/40 Wheat/Weyermann Pilsner (total 5kg). Normally go 50/50, but Beersom convinced me to go with the classic German 50/60/70 (or thereabouts) schedule. Worried about the affect the 50C rest has on protein, so compensated with extra Wheat.

Multiple infusion + double decoction schedule as follows (Eric @#$%ing Warner has a lot to answer for):

Dough in 37C
First infusion to 45C (Ferulic Acid)
Second infusion to 47C (Protein 1)
Third infusion to 50C (Protein 2)
Fourth infusion to 52C (Protein 3)
First Decoction to 64.4C (Sac 1)
Second Decoction to 71C (Sac 1)
Firth infusion to 76C (Mash Out)

Fermenting with Wyeast 3068.

Lesson's learnt:

When using new equipment (like a plate chiller instead of the normal immersion chiller), don't smack the yeast pack until you are confident you are going to make it down to pitching temp in time.

Went over a couple of points on SG due to new boil kettle as well, but that's no biggy!

Tasted this one out of the fermenter as it has reached terminal gravity now (1.012 for 3 days now). Will be racking it to secondary tomorrow to help clear it up a bit as I STILL can't find my whirlfloc. Tastes insanly good so far, well balanced hop juice, it really needs to clear up as it still has some hops floating around in it (well atleast coming out of the tap). Smells like dried apricots and stonefruit. Can't wait for this one to hit the keg.

Also had a taste of the 60min Clone...not tasting as good as the amarillo pale atm, but I haven't dry hopped it yet and haven't given it a fair go yet (as it isn't quite finished, isn't cool and isn't carbed) so still not to sure with this one, but will definitley be doing the 60IBU addition at 10 min style of beers again! Going to chuck this one in secondary with some hops on easter sunday. Will bottle condition this one as well, so as to keep some kegs free for some more easy drinkers.

Cheers
Phil

OK, remaking my (well received) Citra brew tomorrow so I can call it 'Fool's Gold'

7.30 kg Pale Malt, Maris Otter (3.0 SRM) Grain
0.70 kg Caramel/Crystal Malt - 20L (20.0 SRM) Grain

@90 min 36.00 gm Nelson Sauvin* [11.40 %]
@60 min 30 gm Citra [11.10 %]
@45 min 30 gm Citra
@30 min 30 gm Citra
@15 min 30 gm Citra
@10 min 5 gm Yeast Nutrient & Koppafloc
@1 min 30 gm Challenger [7.50 %] Hops
@1 min 30 gm Citra

1882.

Now see, 'Cause I'm transferring to Cube, this time I reckon I need to add some Aroma Hops - I've got some First Gold (it'll already smell of fruit salad - trust me)...

@6 days [estimated - when it's finishing the bubbly bit] 30gm First Gold [7% - i think!]

Notes:
The first one hit 1093 and finished 1018 (9.8%) - I mashed slightly low (~64C) and my efficiency dropped a couple of points to 68%, interesting...

Aha, I thought there was something missing when I tried it last week at BABBs
For the true 9% headbanging experience you really need a kilo of sugar as well
