What are you brewing?

[browndog]

Jeez, I should have posted this yesterday but was too buggered to get on the computer. I got home from work at 12:50pm filled the HLT and fired it up. Then had a quick bite to eat and got stuck in. I brewed a Duvel Clone (that may or may not go to the Bat Cave). While the mash was going on I had to clean a couple of kegs and then keg two brews from 2 weeks back and then wash out the fermenters so I could rack two brews from the previous week. 1/2 way through this I had to start sparging and getting the boil going. Once the boil was under way it was back to the racking including cleaning the fermenters from the previous week so I could use one for the Duvel NC. Got all that done and managed to start cleaning the tun and other sundries before the boil had finished and managed to be packed up by 5:30 for a relaxing swim with the missus and young bloke to finish the day. Not a bad effort I reckon, lucky I don't have to work that hard at work hehe..


cheers

I over sparged and came in a little thin at 1.071 even after a long boil I had 27L when I wanted 24L, Inlaws turned up and lost my focus, well that's my excuse <_< still should be around 7%

Put a Hefe on tap tody and from the first glass it is "pure neck oil"

Good Day
Bottling a "Dortmunder Ale" today (dortmunder with US56) and brewing an IRA and English Northern Brown tomorrow. Can't get any better.

Barry,
I set the timer on the HLT to mash in at 6am this morning, expecting the odd scattered shower. Got woken up by rain on the face! Forecast now 'showers increasing'. Currently bucketing down here. Just my luck. Was going to do a Dark Mild with Wy1469 West Yorkshire.
Perhaps the yeast jinxed me? HLT is off for the meantime. :-(

Love dark milds. :super:

Another batch of Aidans Irish Red being brewed this arvo. Will be my third No Chill in three weeks.
Next weekend, I should resume my normal brewing method for Abbeys Dubbel.

Doc

 

[Brewer_010]

ESB 3Kg Kit (traditional english bitter) with some extra crystal grain and fuggles flavour hops (15g 20 mins) along with some EKG for aroma. Using irish ale yeast wlp004...might be an interesting choice of yeast

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

Racked a belgian bender strong ale variant. Basically Doc's recipe but slightly twisted due to a few complications. Need the fermenter to try and put make a chocolate stout this afternoon.

 

[SpillsMostOfIt]

Batch #2 of the Collingwood Real American Pale went into fermenter last night (*lots* of amarillo, some Willamette, a tiny, tiny bit of Hallertau!).

Batch #1 of the same is currently in secondary (heaps different hops and slightly different grain).

The Carringbush Australia Day Stout is now fizzing away in secondary. It might just finish in time for winter...

 

[johnno]

Just crushed the grain and am heating srike water for an amarillo APA.

Bit dissapointed as it took 40 seconds to crush the 6 odd kg of grain as opposed to 25 seconds


cheers
johnno

 

[winkle]

Just put a double batch of Bitter into a 60 lt fermenter.

3.5kg JW Ale malt
1 kg Munich

200gm dark crystal
26gm Northern Brewer (full boil)
16 gm E.K.Goldings (15min)

[Ducatiboy stu]

Mmm US 56

Never used it before, but will be using today in my Caraaoma Bitter.

Have been using Nottingham for about 10 brews, and recycling the trub each brew , but smelt a faint bact infect, so I went for a new yeast.

Damn, I didn't realise!

Certainly does sound like things are looking good for the Perth HB market soon.

Brewed the leftovers IPA today, mixed results (volumes out again!). Haven't checked the OG yet, brew is cooling down just a bit more in the fridge. Will check it before I pitch late tonight.

Smelt pretty good anyway.

Tasted the Amarillo Amber from Australia Day whilst racking it to kegs today. Pretty damn happy with it!

 

[Slurpdog]

Gave one of those TCB whetpacks a go today. Grabbed the Summer Wheat.
Bloody dark for a wheat beer! Looked more like a big IPA in the sample tube!
