What are you brewing?

[Batz]

To all those people that mention double, triple brew days....how the hell do you do it? Do you not drink whilst brewing? :chug:
Cheers
Steve

Only way to go

Using the N.C. method I easily fit in a double brew,even a double batch then a single.
This all only takes me around 6 hours.
Grain is crushed the night before and water is at mash in temperture when I start.

I can't believe the time it takes some brewers to complete a brew :huh:

Steve, I find i am usually too busy to have a beer if I am brewing, kegging beer from two weeks back and racking the beer from the week before.

What's with all the Qld'ers brewing today? Is it a public holiday?

Duff, friday is a 1/2 day for me, I'm home by 12:45, brewing by 13:00

Brewed a Flanders Red Ale today, splitting the batch three ways with ausdb and Asher.

Flanders Red Ale



Volume: 73.0 L (Post Boil in kettle)

Predicted OG: 1.052

Predicted IBU: 10

Boil Time: 75 min



4.5kg Pilsner Malt (Weyermann, GER)

4.5kg Vienna Malt (Weyermann, GER)

2.25kg Munich I (Weyermann, GER)

2.1kg Rolled Wheat (AUS)

0.9kg Caraaroma (Weyermann, GER)

0.75kg Caraamber (Weyermann, GER)

40g East Kent Goldings (5.2%AA) @ 75 min

1.5 Whirlfloc tablet (10 min)



3 packs Wyeast Roselare Blend

Mash temp was kind of weird, it didn't seem even, some spots were 66, some 68, some 70 even after a good stir. The main thing was that at recirc, it was stable at 68. I ended up fly sparging due to the large volume of grain in the mash tun. Result was the clearest runoff i've had yet.

I'm going to re-measure the OG when I pitch later tonight, as I measured some wort from the kettle which was a bit warm (about 45-50 degrees). Came in at 1.044, which I hope after temperature compensation is about right. Will find out later anyway

Unfortunately my mash tun has developed a very slight leak which will require repair. I think we only lost about 50ml though

Ross,

Cheers.

Duff,

The NZ cascade are awesome, really loving this ale - Having never used 100% US Cascade I can't really give you a comparison, but i'd guess it's very similar. I'll make sure there's some left for your visit later this month & you can give me your opinion...

Edit: i dropped the flameout & upped the dry hop to 60gms
