What are you brewing?

[lonte]

Posted this in the wrong place earlier, sorry for the double post but will put it here as it's more correct ...

I was looking for a "What's Brewing?" thread but as I can't find one, I'll post a pic of my current ferments and include the recipes. Pale Ale on the left, Stout on the right ...

Are you open fermenting Lonte, or just lifted the lids for the pic?

cheers Ross

 

[lonte]

Just for show - the lids went back on straight after the photo. The stout airlock is bubbling well, the Pale Ale not a cracker so there's a leak in the lid seal of that fermenter anyway.

 

[Duff]

Morning all, Happy New Year :beer:

Been fishing all week, back home now so time today to mash. Cleaning out the grain cupboard and trying out another single hopped ale. This one is Centennial.

Cheers.

Mate, this is a family forum, can't mention stuff like that what you doin getting into that stuff while the mash is goin on anyway? :lol:

 

[Gerard_M]

Things are a bit busy around here, but I have put aside 15 minutes this arvo to put a Brewer's Selection India Pale Ale wort kit down. Using the White Labs WLP026 Premium Bitter Yeast.
Cheers & Beers for 2007
Gerard

Oopps I forgot that I put a Brewers Selection Lager in the fridge @ my Dad's place last week!

 

[Weizguy]

Not brewing as such, but in a way it is brewing. I started a no-chill Kolsch in November, and put it into a sanitised fermentor, and then fridged it since then at 15C (along with a jerry can of Dunkelweizen. I got far too much volume and a too little gravity from the Kolsch.

So, today, I pitched the Dunkelweizen with a litre of fresh W3068 culture, and shoved it back into the fridge.
Now there's no room for the 30 litres of Kolsch wort. Solution: boil the wort down to the correct volume and put it into the cleaned jerry can from the Dunkelweizen.
I intend to re-add the 10 min addition of Hersbrucker, to put back the flavour that I'm boiling out again. And maybe a Whirfloc, too, as I forgot it last time. The hop-based anti-foam (HBAF) is still working, as it didn't go close to a boilover.

Anyway, that's why I'm up this late when I have to go to work early tomorow.

Result: A dunkelweizen on the ferment (wort made on 11.11.2006), and a rejigged no-chill Kolsch. Does that make it a double no-chill?

Seth

Late edit: ran out of gas. Don't expect to get more this time of evening. Will have to settle for reduction by 5 litres to about 25-26 litres. Had to add the Hersbrucker at flameout, coz that's all I have (flame out!!).
Just whirlpooled, and will rack to the jerry in about 15 min. Leftovers to go into a saucepan to cool, then into PET bottles and into the freezer (speise or yeast starters)...Then bed, bed, bed. Aaaah

 

[devo]

Just snuck in an APA golden ale and had it in primary just before NYE.

 

[tangent]

did an unusual Belgian Wit NYE
might update the Wit thread later

 

[johnno]

Bottled an APA today. First brew at the new place.

Got another APA in the fermenter and an Aussie ale in a jerry waiting its turn, as I have been using the no chill method since moving.

Doing a wheat tomorrow. 40% BB ale and 60% Powells wheat with some 3333 and homegrown POR.


Need to brew more to fill all beer conatiners available at home


cheers
johnno

Yes, please. :super:

 

[Peter Wadey]

Morning All,
2007 is off to a good start. Yesterday I kegged a Schwarzbier and a Vienna....I think it was a Vienna....maybe it was an Octoberfest?.....I forget...anyway I have a 2 litre starter each of Premium Bitter & London Ale blooping away - hoping to get in a double brew day soon, ONCE the wet weather eases. Toying with the idea of a strong Pale Ale, a Bitter (perhaps single varietal using Brambling Cross & perhaps a Mild or a Brown though both these yeasts are very good attentuators, so Mild may not be the best choice.
That will leave me with 1 keg free for a Keighley Klone in the very near future. Then all the fun stops and I have to drink it all. Oh bother!

Gerard,
Still drinking somebody else's (Matt's) beer, eh?

Rgds,
Peter

Rgds,
Peter

Umm lets see.
The casks, grain & hops arrived at Matt's brewery in my ute.
My recipe. A recipe that was formulated without any brewing software, No Addatives, No chemicals & has previously been brewed in a commercial brewery by me.
Matt's water, gas, & electricity, mash tun & kettle.
The kits left Matt's brewery in my ute.
Fermented in my fermenter with my yeast.
Put in my keg in my fridge. No clearing agents or filtering as I prefer to enjoy real beer.
Consumed by me whilst watching cricket on my TV on my back deck. :beerbang:
I reckon that counts as my beer.
Wadey, you can come over and watch the cricket, but you had better bring your own beer!
Cheers
Gerard

Mmmmm, go the Bolter :beerbang:

What yeast Bobby? I made a cracker once with 029 Kolsch, much nicer than the 002 English.

Cheers.

 

[Bobby]

love this beer!
i was thinking of using the british ale although i have some 029 i could use. what temp did you ferment at with the 029?

 

[Duff]

Around the magic 20 mark. The higher attenuation made it a little drier and shone the hops through with its clean style :chug:

Dammit, going to have to make another now :lol:

Come in Spinner!
Thought you might be missing the time to make beer* yourself at home.
Given the response, I guess I was right.

However, the refusal to offer beer has been duly noted.
