Dry hopped with Citra/Columbus for 4days = 6g per litre

:bowdown:
 
Haven't brewed in a while, no beers on tap, family at my place for Xmas, time to pull the finger out.
My system is a double batch, normally my brother helps out and we do 2 brews on a brewday so 4 cubes so we get 2 kegs each. Didn't have time for a double today, so did a base beer with some different cube additions to the second for a bit of Xmas variety.

Yeast is to be the yeast cake from an English brown I kegged yesterday, Wyeast 1187

Edit: OG=1.096


So I bottled this today, about half into champagne bottles and half into some 640ml bottles- planning on dipping in wax and maybe even some half decent labels as I'll go to the trouble of cellaring them for a while.

Fermented at 20c for 5 days then rose to 22c, final gravity was 1.012 though which is a lot lower than I was expecting, a little worried that it won't have enough body and kind of regretting adding the glucose.. Hydrometer sample tasted good though, 1187 is a great yeast with a little TLC
 
7th iteration of Earle's Rogers clone. This one changes slightly every single brew. This iteration is dropping the OG a few points to get closer to a true midstrength (3.7% down from 4.2%) and changing to flowers instead of pellets with a big hop stand once the wort gets down to 85 degrees. Trying to get that big hop flavour from true Rogers. this will be a double batch.

Misso getting into the brewing game. Small batch raspberry wine.

Super stoked... This is barely a week or so after getting a cheese cave (bar fridge and temp controller) which is now maturing four rounds of (soon to be) brie. And follows various sourkraut and fermented chilli batches.

I'm looking to do a light but fruity pale (something in the 4.5% region).. something similar to, or a clone of, the Kaiju! Crush.. anyone have any recipe suggestions? Also a fan of the Two Birds Passion Victim..

I did a 'grapefruit' beer that was delicious, but not very grape-fruity. Next time I will add some juice as well as zest.

79% pale malt
10% munich
5% rye
4% Caraamber
2% Acid

15g Cita FWH (20ibu)
30g ea of Simcoe, Cascade, Citra in the cube (12, 5, 11 IBUs)
Dry hop with 45g ea of Simcoe and Citra

Soak the yellow bit of the peel from 4 grapefruit in vodka, leave in fridge for a few days. (Dont get any white)
2 days before cold crash, add the vodka/skin mix like a dry hop.
It's at this point I would add the juice from the grapefruit as well, but if you're not going for that then don't worry!
