What are you brewing?

[pbrosnan]

Just running off another APA. Lots of Amarillo.

 

[Weizguy]

I'm running off, too, now.

First runnings are 1.067 SG, or 17.0 Brix.

Will batch sparge this brew.

Tastes quite nice already, if a little chocolatey, with a silky wheat/Pils/Vienna/Munich backbone.
Yep, I'm a taster, and I reckon it helps my brewing to taste my way along the process.

Seth update over

 

[Weizguy]

Running off the second, and last, batch sparge now.

SG is now 1.027 (7 Brix). 10 brix less than the first runnings. This is barely a mild ale. It has a lower SG than my Berlinisch sauer Weisse.

Hopping will be taken care of by 20g of Perle (6.8 % AA) @ 60 min and 1 plug of Tettnang at 30 min.

Is anyone reading this?

2 hour boil for a dark wheat ale.

I wanna drink it now!!!!

Seth out

 

[bconnery]

Just closed down the lid on my partial mash Wit.

Don't know how cloudy etc it will be but it had plenty of raw wheat, wheat malt etc etc.

Tasted pretty good in the hydrometer sample anyway...

Got loads of good info from this site to formulate the recipe so we'll see how we go!

 

[Stuster]

Decided on a whim to brew today. Just grinding up the coriander for a Belgian Pale Ale. No chill, and I'm going to pitch once the hot weather here in Sydney. Two cubes worth, so one will be fermented with WLP500 Trappist ale (apparently the Chimay yeast, Wyeast 1214) and the other with WLP530 Abbey ale (apparently the Westmalle yeast, Wyeast 3787). Any advice on those yeasts would be great.

Yes, we are listening, Seth. Sounds like a tasty number. You still testifying on the decoction train then. :lol:

Totally agree about the tasting. I used some Gula Aren (Indonesian palm sugar) on this one. Mighty tasty stuff, turned the litre of wort I used to dissolve it totally black. I really want to taste this one now too.

Sounds like there are some mighty fine brews being made across this fair land this weekend. :beer:

 

[ausdb]

Well the Perth lads just cranked out 120L of something along the lines of Timothy Taylor Landlord Pale Ale
beat that

 

[Barry]

Good Day
Waiting for the water to heat for a SB and OB with MO, Amber, CaraAroma, EKG, Fuggles and First Gold with WLP002.

 

[arsenewenger]

First attempt at a robust porter on Monday , nice birthday present from My LOVELY WIFE

 

[DJR]

WLP530 Abbey ale (apparently the Westmalle yeast, Wyeast 3787). Any advice on those yeasts would be great.

Fermenter headspace & a blowoff tube - that's all i'll say. h34r:

 

[Josh]

My NSW Xmas case sparkling ale is in the mash tun as I type.

3.58kg pale ale malt
335g wheat malt
160g dark crystal

600g sugar added to boil

12g Pride of Ringwood 20mins the rest at 60mins to 30 IBU.

Stolen yeast from a longneck of Cooper's Sparkling Ale.

 

[yardy]

First AG in a week or so when i get back from work.
#1.

4500 Pale Malt
.500 Caramalt
.250 Munich

90 gm each of Nrthn Brwr and Cascade on hand, not sure of Hop Schedule though.

A mate on another forum has helped me out with the Beersmith Brewsheet but i'd like to change the Hops around a bit.

I probably should've posted this elsewhere.

Cheers

 

[devo]

My no chill Irish Stout is boiling away nicely. Added the bittering hops about 35 mins ago.

 

[pokolbinguy]

Big day of starting brews today, still doing kits, maybe AG in the future but happy with my kit results so far.

1 x Squire Amber Ale Clone (20ltrs)

1 x Squire Golden Ale Clone (20 ltrs) (I have done this before and turned out tops)

1 x Coopers Bitter bulk batch (45 ltrs) for a party beer.... Willamette hops added for taste

All 4 fermenters sealed and now the wait begins

 

[hupnupnee]

UURGHH!! NOTHING

Moving house over the next few weeks and I've had to but brewing on hold and watch the stocks begin to deplete.

Good news however. :super: The new house has a darkroom that is going to be my NEW brewery. Can't wait to fit it out.
I'll put some photos up when I get going. First cab off the rank will be a wit.

 

[DJR]

Maybe an IIPA to use up some of the 3.4kg of hops in my inventory. That or a vienna lager :beerbang:

 

[Zwickel]

Im going to try out the "no brewing method" today, go to Pub.

 

[voota]

A Scandinavian Jull (chrismas brown ale), after finally finding some brewing gear in Sweden... and taking the agonising step back from AG to Kit/mini mash brewing.

 

[bindi]

Im going to try out the "no brewing method" today, go to Pub.

If I lived in Germany I would also but we don't [well I don't now] <_< so we brew to get away from our "Mega Swill", the choice there is ...We all know,is great. not here sad to say.

Looks good mike, that's that SNPA clone isn't it.

I think i might do a Boh pils, if i get the time this weekend.

72% JW Pils
11% Wey Vienna
10% Wey Carapils
5% JW Light Munich
2% Wey Melanoidin

Schedule: 68C single mash (no decoction..)

Hops:

45g Saphir 80'
25g Saphir 25'
28g Saaz Plug 25'
28g Saaz Plug 0'
15g Saphir 0'

Yeast: 2x W34/70 dry, ferment @ 4-8 C for 2 weeks, lager for 1-2 months.

Should be a closer version that the other Boh Pils i've done - more low-alpha hops and more caramel-type malt. Here's hoping. :beerbang:

 

[mikem108]

Yes SNPA is the idea, after downing a couple of nice examples this week I really want to make some

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

I shall be doing my Saaz Ale with galaxy malt...( now that i have some spare time and GAS ) B)

 

[peas_and_corn]

A Foreign Extra Stout... tasted good going into the fermenter!

 

[Voosher]

American Cream Ale and an APA.
2 AG batches. Same day. 1 hour more than a standard brew day.
This is one happy new member of the NASA club.
It made all the difference.

 

[hockadays]

I put down a amber ale with amarillo a few days ago and top cropped germn ale yeast to go in the kolsch that I brewed today with hersbrucker and tettnang.

xmas is now sorted...

 

[browndog]

I just racked 21L of Pumpy's Bitter onto 25g of Styrian Goldings. Looking forward to tasting this one.


cheers

[bconnery]

Putting down my Belgian Strong dark ale tomorrow.

I posted the recipe somewhere around here...

Bottling my Wit sometime this weekend as well...

 

[goatherder]

fate conspired to stop me brewing last weekend.

sunday is the aussie lager day.

it's a pretty slow old friday night...

 

[Weizguy]

Either a Southern Hemisphere Maibock, or a Czech-isch pilsener.

Hmmmm, the last pils I made was "da bomb"!
Or, I could reuse the yeast from racking my German-style pils and pitching that Maibock onto the yeastcake?

And a Kolscher style beer has also taken my fancy. Soon, soon, my pretty!

Kolsch first, I think.

Happybreweekend
