Tried my hand at my first Marzen in the lead up to Oktoberfest... Brewed on US05 in July at 16*C

1.5kg LDME
500 sugar
1.0kg Munich II
500g Caramunich II
250g Carafoam
250g Melanoidin
32g Northern Brewer 9.5%AA @ 60 [24 IBU]
15g Hallertau 4.0%AA @ 15 [2 IBU]
25g Tettnanger 4.0%AA @ 0 [0 IBU]
US05
26L total

Hopefully it will come out a nice easy quaffer for Oktoberfest but I'm thinking it might be a bit too dark for my non beer enthusiast mates... The next batch will be a Kolsch to take care of those scared of a bit of colour in their beer

edit: all grains were milled on my new Crank and Stein mill that I finally built a base and hopper for, gap set to 0.8mm :beerbang:

Should be throwing down an english IPA...

92% Base
8% Medium Crystal

Target to bitter
Challanger for flavour and aroma.

1.055 OG
44 IBU

Does the OG:BU work out alright? Or do I need more bitterness?

Cheers
Phil

Less crystal, more IBU.

Personally I'd drop the crystal down to no more than 5% as with that OG you will get plenty of malt character. Bump up the IBU to 48-50.

Just as an FYI, my best IPA was/is 98% MO, 2% pale choc, challenger to 50 IBU. OG 1.058.

Wow, sounds interesting fella. Put me down for a couple if I sneak a win in SC this arvo! :lol:

i opened the cube yesterday to pitch onto some 1272 top crop. Hit with a biiig waft of honey in the face. a big woodsy homey aroma. I dont know what effect 5% cararye will have on this one but you can be assured it will have a definitive honey component to it.

Hey Reviled, welcome back! Thought you may have chucked it in or maybe you were building a 3V system.... r u still BIAB?
Man, you sure love your hops!

Hey Reviled, welcome back! Thought you may have chucked it in or maybe you were building a 3V system.... r u still BIAB?

Cheers buddy, would never chuck in this hobby, have still been posting regularly over here

Currently still BIAB, but if you can keep a secret, ill tell you that I recently acquired an 85litre kettle and a water pump B)

So the plan is, to convert my existing 30litre kettle into a mash tun, make an HLT out of a plastic bucket fermenter, and use the 85litre as my boiler... Still pondering whether to go electric or 4 ring gas burner tho, and im just getting the bits as they come up for cheap cos my budget is fairly minimal...

And yes, I do love my hops :icon_drool2: Specially the US varieties - I tried an IPA in the US with Summit and Nugget hops and it was like drinking hop resin, seriously awesome!

 

[bum]

That first beer looks magic, reviled.

What are Summit hops like? Never used them (or come across anyone else using them). Can you think of any commercial beers that use them that I might know?

 

[Bribie G]

I reckon a few of us should hop over to that NZ forum regularly, seeing as we would be well fckd without New Zealand hops here, I reckon it would be a great site to drop into. Welcome back, I was also wondering what had happened.

 

[reviled]

Warra regularly heads over, the NZ home brew scene is rapidly growing with lots of interesting things happening! Just not as much foot traffic on our forum...

Bum - Summit hops are an extremely rare dwarf variety of hop, which apparantly grows really short and requires hand picking, I was lucky to get 250gms as my mate got a few kilos for a commercial contract brew which is currently being drunk around NZ and tasting awesome!! If you come over to NZ in the next few weeks you may be lucky enough to try this - http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/liberty-brewi...mmt-ipa/125285/ For me it starts out sweet but the bitterness accumulates on the palate, really weird but so awesome!!

Commercial wise - Green Flash IIPA, hopped with Summit and Nugget all the way through and by crikey is it hoppy, seriously I had never had anything as hoppy as this in my life, resin's, oils, cheek cutting bitterness!!! :icon_drool2:

Other than that, probably only American brewed craft beers would use it i'd say??

 

[bum]

Recently had a big session in the States so I might have had one but who knows? Didn't get hold of a Green Flash IIPA, had a few of theirs but not that one, sadly.

Thanks for the info.

[Effect]

Neither look very english to me..... :huh: :lol:

Probably a good thing I didn't brew anything engrish - I would have definitly gone for the top crop before you sms!

Still working out that recipe...wasn't going to brew 2 beers - but when the organic pacific gem arrived, it looked at me and said 'hey phillip, did you know that I am exactly the right amount for a 10 minute addition? Brew with me, brew with me' So yeah - if you hops say that - you pretty much have to do what they say.

Cheers
Phil
