About to decoction mash out the cascade (home-grown) version of my house ale. I still think of it as a golden ale as the colour is similar and the grist % similar to the golden ale with rye instead of wheat and vienna instead of munich.

2.15 kg Pale Malt, Traditional Ale (Joe White) (5.9 EBC) Grain 48.97 %
1.00 kg Rye Malt (Weyermann) (5.9 EBC) Grain 22.78 %
1.00 kg Vienna Malt (Weyermann) (5.9 EBC) Grain 22.78 %
0.24 kg Crystal, Medium (Bairds) (170.0 EBC) Grain 5.47 %
10.00 gm Magnum [15.50 %] (60 min) Hops 20.2 IBU
30.00 gm Cascade - Mt Torrens [7.00 %] (15 min) Hops 12.3 IBU
40.00 gm Cascade - Mt Torrens [7.00 %] (0 min) Hops -

It's one of those recipes that has slowly evolved. I've been using rye instead of wheat in the golden ale recipe for a while now and am loving it. Noticed i had 1/2 a bag of vienna so swapped that in for the munich and 2 batches on I'm hooked. Looking forward to trying it out with a few more hops.

Carabohemian was a spec malt i bought after a few super positive reports of yours and i have used it a few times in this recipe. I ran out so went back to the bairds but will definitely be getting some more of it. Very useful spec in so many recipes so a big cheers to you for putting me onto it!

Im thinking Sothern Cross, B Saaz and Hallertau Aroma :)

pumpkin was half roast with honey, half boiled, pureed and added to the mash.

Colour was exaxtly what I was shooting for, and these smell fantastic at the moment. hope I've managed to get the spice levels correct - the hydrometer sample tasted spot on - nice backdround spike without making it sickly.


Over sparged a little, so wound up somethign around 1.067.
 
ok here is what im going to do.

I done like the idea of mixing Ale malt with vienna and rye......... noting wrong with it but im thinking a nice malty Pils!

@ Tony - Given that those who have tasted my beers using home-grown chinook have agreed it is closer to B Saaz than US chinook i am loving the look of that hop combination. Hallertau Aroma is a gorgeous hop as well.
 
I'm going to do this today for my fifth BIAB AG and the first one at full volume. I've done a couple of American Pale Ales and thought i'd try and do a English Beer for a bit of a change. Was going to use S04. But not sure.

Amarillo at 60 for 25 - 28 IBU (still haven't decided yet) - I think I might go 25 as it is for non-craft drinking folk - and I think having it that low will be more drinkable for them, like fat yak.
0.6 g/l each of amarillo and b saaz @ 20
0.7 g/l each of amarillo and b saaz @ 0

Pacman will be munching on this one
 
Brew number 2 just mashed in ontop of the Tripel Mash (dropped the base malt by 2kg accordingly).

Didn't put in a tax return for 4 years because I mistakenly thought I owed them a heap of money so went to ground. Manned up to the tax agent this year before they put out a warrant, and got showered with refund from those lovely people at the ATO :lol: So now instead of blowing it four years in a row I can blow it in one hit :beerbang: Pity I didn't make a move a month ago or I could have gone to ANHC. Bugger.
Anyway, bought a couple of wee upgrades and brewing a Yorkie tonight:

Hotplate and heavy bottomed stockpot for doing cereal mashes in the brewery without having to traipse back and forward to kitchen and......boom tish.... RO water system from Gryphon, yay total control over the liqour now. ve haf vays. Filter from Ross if he ever gets back from Melbourne and maybe a couple extra kegs......... nah make that four........... :)

I was going to do an Irish Red but only have 1469 so bugger it I've just invented Yorkshire Red :icon_cheers:

I've basically taken a SuperLandlord recipe, taken out the choc malt and put in 400g of Caraaroma. Also doing a cereal mash with some left over BB Galaxy and 500 of Polenta, to try out my new kit and to give more background 'grainyness' to the beer.
