Today 42 litres of Belgian Blonde - TDA's Fly-Blown Belgian
Expected s.g. of 1.066 Actual o.g. was measured at 1.070. Wort was pumped to (cleaned and sanitised) SS ferment vessel
Method: Wort was allowed to cool with the lid slightly cracked open (not fully screwed on) and a clean towel stretched across the top and tucked in under the handles to deter dust being drawn in under cooling. My last wort sat for three weeks without a sign of wild ferment.

You really don't like that malt.

With some styles I do, like porter or stouts, malty ales, basically anything malt forward.

In Lagers it really stands out and for love of god, please not in an American IPA.

In lagers, it can have a place (there's a multitude of German lagers and even a couple of ales where its presence is almost demanded - munich lager, munich dunkel, altbier, etc). It is a German malt, historically made from pilsner malt and from a place with a long history of lager brewing.

In AIPAs my personal preference is either for pale + crystal OR pale plus munich/vienna. Never both together.

Conversely, I'll never add to a stout, porter or UK malt driven ale.
 
Funky Cider
16L of Aldi Apple juice
470g of white sugar
White Labs Funky Cider Blend- WLP616

Is this just the regular Aldi apple juice? Does it have the 220 preservative in it?

I've been wanting to make a sour cider but didn't think you could use juice with preservatives in them. If you can, I'm heading to Aldi tomorrow!!!
 
Yeh the Aldi juice works great for making cider.

on the weekend I pitched 10lts of the ALDI apple juice into a packet of rehydrated M02 Cider yeast.

There is no foam forming on the surface but there is pressure

each to their own. i love the taste of it and don't mind it coming through, even slightly in a lager. had some in a recent faux-lager and it gave it a depth i liked, without taking away the simplicity of the beer. this recipe really isn't based on any strict style per-se, more just a combo of stuff i like, so pfft to you and your malt-hating :p

my next beer will have 45% crystal...

just kidding haha
 
Put this one down yesterday, should be hoppy.

got some cones to get rid off?

Agreed. Bradsbrew obviously had too many cones today.



Personally, I managed to knock out 44l of a 1063og IPA. Magnum and chinook for bitterness and mosaic, citra and galaxy at whirlpool. Still having efficiency woes but will figure it out soon enough.
