What are you brewing?

[devo]

It's been 2 months since I last brewed, supply is getting low. I wasn't overly impressed with my current stock so I'm going back to basics and brewing a Pale Ale. I'm in the last 50 minutes of the boiling stage and will cube it when done.
basic recipe for approx 40ltr batch.

8kg pale ale malt
600gms Caramunich 1
45gms Horizon hops for bittering
25gm Goldings for flavour.

I am brewing Nothing..

Nothing is tastless, has no aroma or bitterness, little or no ferment time and contains no alcohol...

Nothing also does not consume precious grains or hops...

 

[goatherder]

The no-beer method?

lo5z............



I'm brewing a Little Creatures Bright Ale (modelled on Tony's), and when that's done a Mac's Sassy Red.


It's pretty bloody hot out by the kettle, thermometer's reading 40 something. The pool's looking mighty tempting.

Have been in and out a few times, though I'm holding off on a beer til the second batch is chilling (as I will be). The Bright Ale came up very bright (woohoo!) and the Red's coming along nicely.

I buggered off that "pilsy-ale" and went with this instead:

5kg JWM Export Pilsener,
30g 9.8% Nugget flowers for 60 min,
20g 3% Saaz pellets for 60 min,
25g 8.9% Amarillo pellets for 15 min,

[bindi]

I want to brew another Saison and whenever I want ideas I keep coming back to Rays recipie on Beertools
Link link it's pretty close to this one but I have changed the sugar [now sugars and a secret for now] untill I "nail it" it's getting close now.

Edit: I also use a little more grain, can't help myself!

 

[Avit]

I spent a good portion of Sunday with a cracking hangover after a mates Wedding and manged to do the following brew. Its was my first boil of any sort :unsure: , hope it turns out ok.

Type: Extract
3kg Light Malt Extract (2 cans)
250g Crystal Malt (40-60L)
28g Perle Hops (60 min boil)
14g Cascade Hops (15 min)
20g Cascade Hops (5 min)
Wyeast American Ale Yeast 1056 of SAF US56


19 litres

 

[brendanos]

Looks like a pretty easy drinking pale ale, hope it comes out well!

Bindi - it might be worth waiting til April when Wyeast release their next very special strains which will include 3726 (Farmhouse Ale), def worth getting a hold of if your into the style.... unless you've tried it before.

Cheers
Brendan

Interesting <_< I want to try the new White Labs Saison.
From their site:* WLP566 Belgian Saison II Yeast
PLATINUM STRAIN March/April
Saison strain with more fruity ester production than with WLP565. Moderately phenolic, with a clove-like characteristic in finished beer flavor and aroma. Ferments faster than WLP565.
Attenuation: 78-85%
Flocculation: Medium
Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 68-78 F
Alcohol Tolerance: Medium

I use 565 at the moment, 3726 hey? I will look into that.

 

[Screwtop]

Alcohol Tolerance: Medium

Might not be the yeast for "You" Bindi
