Mmm, starting to think the 2 beers (esp a BIAB IIPA) may be a bit too much for a mostly unprepared brew day
Might dial it back to the rice lager and just an IPA
 
Hang on... people prepare for brew day? I was changing my recipe this morning as I was milling grain and decided cube hops after knock out...!! Do the IIPA; you know it'll be awesome ;-)
 
Alriiiiight
Not much on hand for colour (outside of choc, black and roast barley) other than Carared, Caraaroma or Victory
also have 3kg of munich, 2kg of wheat, some carapils and a few other random crystals
This is probably what I'd go with I guess

Brew it!!! (Maybe just not galaxy for bittering. some say it's harsh that early but I've never done it)
 
I'll second that, galaxy goes no earlier than 10 min... but bloody amazing at 10 and FO.
 
i'm pretty excited to be able to brew again. first brew in about 7 months! bloody hell. just a simple pale quaffer to get the ball rolling and to test the new water and set-up yadda yadda.

^bugger

had a rushed day yesterday ended up with 10% more wort and about the same less in abv - the triple is now a golden strong
 
10% less abv? How strong was the intended tripel?

Leftovers stout, first brew since April so missing a bunch if stuff I forgot to buy. Have grain, yeast and hops though so I can live.

Golden promise, whatever blend of remaining black, roast, choc and brown I had, will hop with target and fuggles (plus any remaining challenger or styrians if I find them).
 
Dortmunder Home Grown Hopped 40lt no chill cubed.

OG = 1.052
FG estimate 1.011
IBU = 26
EBC = 10
ABV = 5.5%

99% Weyermann Pale
1% Acidulated
Mashed Infusion 50c, Infusion 65c, Decoction 70c.

I plugged in Dortmund water profile in Beersmith for 40l and this is what it came up with.
4.6g Gypsum
21.2g Epsom Salt
6.9g Calcium Chloride
19g Chalk
14.1g Baking Soda - o_O (personal judgment I did not add this Baking Soda addition!) it could tastes like soap and throws the pH up too high in my understanding. Hope I'm right about that, ph probe is out of order.

90m + boil.

146g First Wort Hop- Vicoria wet hops calculated at 2% Alpha Acid = 20 IBU
140g Hallertauer dry in the cubes = 6.0 IBU

Saflager W-34/70
 
Don't add chalk either.
Forget the suggested profile, adjust additions to suit the beer. Dortmunder does not have or need loads of mineral character.
 
Brewing a cream ale tonight.

40% pils
40% ale
20% flaked maize

Hallertau @ 60 to 15 ibu

I was wondering what you would say at the time. Then again I'm curious to see what it brings to the beer, if anything much different to my standard water profile. The wort tastes good and balanced.

Probably covered in 16 million other spots but whatever... how do you find the difference between a rye malt and, say, any other malt?

What yeast? This looks like the sort of beer you could smash pints of relentlessly. Delicious.
