What are you brewing in 2017 ?

[Curly79]

Any reason why you wouldn't Mash out?

Any reason why you wouldn't Mash out?

From a home brew perspective, is a mash out even necessary for most beer styles? I can see it being useful for a mild or similar, but I tend to just start heating my boil kettle once the sweet wort covers the element during sparge. But that is more just to get /keep it up near boiling to save time later.

Heating the mash to over 70 makes it (at least for me) foamy and loose, which seems to negate the benefit of the recirculated mash.

I assume this has probably been covered numerous times before... I should just go and dafsffs and find out what I'm missing out on h34r:

Harvest ale tomorrow night hopefully. Using all 2017 home grown hops, might play around with the Vic additions to lower IBU's a bit but my WP IBU's usually come out lower than beersmith has been predicting.

Big brew day that one! **** a duck . Ended up with maybe 3/4 of a cube from a 35 Ltr pre boil volume. Looked chunky as hell before a decent whirlpool, cleared up pretty well by the time I cubed it. Ferment and stash for winter. Mmmm. Can't wait.

giving serious consideration to a harvest DIPA double batch.. if I can find a stainless scourer, it's on...

RIS if I cant...

 

[manticle]

Do you know how to make an RIS?

Try shifting your IBU estimations from Tinseth to Rager. In Beersmith Preferences, under Bitterness, change your bitterness formula to Rager. Tinseth is the default, and I find Rager lands closer to my expectations.

Yeah may 45ibu on that 60min addition though thats a guess.

Still learning

Fun lessons

Put down an Aussie Pale Ale from a Mangroves Jacks kit today. Currently sat in my laundry tub with 3 ice bricks. ETD: 5 weeks.

LC Bright Ale

68% Pilz
20% Vienna
6% Carapils
6% Wheat

Motueka/Cascade @ 45/20/DH

Mash @ 65. Boil for 90.

Double IPA

OG 1074
FG 1012
ABV 8%
IBU 140 (calculated)
EBC 14


93% BB Ale Malt
4% JW Crystal (100ebc)
3% Dextrose @ 10m

Mashed @ 65c for 90mins - target pH 5.3-5.5

90min boil

FWH - Warrior = 35ibu

90m - Columbus = 25bu
45m - Amarillo = 15ibu
30m - Simcoe = 40ibu

10m - Whirlfloc, Gypsum and Cal Chloride

Whirlpool @ 95c for 10mins = 21g each of Cascade, Centennial, Amarillo & Simcoe (84g) = 25ibu

Chilled to 18c, fermented with US05

Dry Hopping:

Round 1
Simcoe 21g, Cascade 21g, Columbus 14g

Round 2
Simcoe 21g, Cascade 14g, Amarillo 7g, Columbus 7g

Ran into an efficiency with the mash and was 14 points from target preboil gravity of 1.059 so............I removed the malt from the BM malt pipe, milled 2kg of pale malt and mashed that at 65c for 45mins with a 5min mash out at 78c. Preboil gravity was 1.065........woop's now Im over and probably wont require the DEX......SG = 1.085 after a 90min boil.

That gave me a 9.2% abv with a expected FG of 1.016. Its likely to ferment lower to around 1.013-1.014 which will make it a 9.5% DIPA :huh:

@ 140ibu...... it should be enough to balance the ABV.


question: do you find a much higher gains from a higher preboil gravity?

For example/s:

preboil gravity 1.040, 90m boil i get 1.049 - ~ 1 point of gravity per 10mins

preboil gravity 1.055, 90m boil i get 1.070 - ~ 1.6 points of gravity per 10mins

and for the recent beer 1.065, 90m boil i get 1.085 - ~ 2.2 points of gravity per 10mins

^^ party at your place!! my 100% gladfield american ale DIPA turned out really nice. 7.7%, easy drinking as you like, a hoppy stink and big flavour that lasts till the final mouthful. That was with 400grams of hops. I had OG 1.068 and it finished at 1.010. Funnily enough a beer for any occasion - could pass for a lawn mower beer but just really satisfying.
