What are you brewing?

[Ross]

That's weird, Black (patent) malt is only listed at 985.0 EBC Ross.

cheers

Browndog

Current Bairds Black patent is 1700 EBC.

full specs available on all the malt I supply, upon request.
When we get our new site up & running, all this info will be available online.

[RobW]

Just mashed in an Amarillo/Cascade APA.
About 1050 and 50 IBU with lots of late hop additions.
Came out great last time so we'll see if we can repeat the dose.

 

[Duff]

Cheers.

[Ross]

Very interesting beer Tony , I'd love to try a bottle, as been planning something similar myself & would love to know how the pommie hops come across at 100+IBU's

We'll have to arrange a swap if you're interested?

Cheers Ross

[Tony]

just got it all in the kettle!

Pre-boil specs say 40 liters @ 1.067

I got 24 liters @ 1.067

thats like 83% efficiency i think. I usually only get 75%

Mark told me i would get a couple of extra points with the IMC malt and he was right.

I had to throw in another 30g of EKG (thats what i had on hand) while it was comming up to the boil to get the 120 IBU i wanted.
I also found i had 20g of northdown left in the bad after all that so i just chucked it in for the flame out addition

Here are some pics. THe mash is in a 50 liter vessel....... not bad for a 30 liter batch

I am using 2 hop socks for this monster...... im going to need them.

the hops in the jars are from L to R a 45 min addition of target, and the 20, 10 and flame out additions of the hop mixes.

THe bramling cross smells great, like citris peel, even before it goes in the brew.

I will be using this again is a bitter to try it out for sure.

Ross....... im up for a swap with ya, as long as it aint bodily fluids

Maybe one of your big IBU numbers.

This will be bottles in champain bottles and corked and caged so it could be a month or 2 before its gassed up.

Will keep you posted.

cheers

 

[Tony]

cooling it now.

I hit my gravity @ 1.090

we had some people here and they took off cause they couldnt handle the fumes.

The wife and kids have been next door and the neighnours were saying..... whats that smell........ its strong!!

the house litterly stinks of hops.

I love it

cheers

Johhno, That brew might be a little dry with the the US56. I prob go the (dusty) Nottingham.

Depends if U like your beer dry or a little malty and fruity.

As for myself, I am brewing yeast cultures this weekend, using leftover wort (filtered trub) which I have bottled and stored in my freezer. I re-boil and cool before adding it to the PET bottle.
I have attempted to reclaim a WLP380 (Hefeweizen IV) from one of Berto's Xmas case beers, a WLP300 from a yeast culture of JS colonial Wheat (no date on my culture), and 2nd gen reculture form Duff's Kolsch (to go into my no-chill Kolsch).

Also started a YeastLabs A01 (American ale, similar to W1056 and WLP001), as well as a Bavarian lager culture for my Baltik Porter.

Later, I intend to start a London Ale yeast (W1028) from the sediment in one of my bottles of Classic English Pale Ale, and one from a Xmas case bottle that I will need assistance to identify. The bottle is a CUB crown seal jobbie, and it looks like it had a label on it...gone now. It was a very pale beer, low-hopped with notes of apricot and maybe banana. There is an identifying mark on the lid that will jog someone's memory. Was it Berp's Wit?

Thinking about doing up an aussie style ale (light in colour, lowly IBUs) so I have something to give to my less adventurous friends to make them realise how much better flavours your can get in beer. going to find out what these crystal hops are like in the process I figure the whole packet at 15 mins should get me masses of flavour, and a fair whack of aroma, while not being so bitter that I can't get others to try it.

well i finally got around to brewing this today, I ended up changing the grist to 5.5kg total, 50% split between pale and pilsner malt and shifted the hop additions to 20minutes. got up much, much later than planned and didnt get the mash started until after 3pm and finished up around 7. came out to 15 plato but I have no idea how much wort i ended up with yet so i dont know how my efficiency is. the boil off calculations in beersmith seem to underestimate for me most of the time. crystal hops smell great btw

Just mashed in my Red Bavarian Weizen.
Here is the rice just before it was added to the mash.

Wow, how does the red rice taste, Doc?
I work just a few doors away from that shop in Campbell st you got it from.
May try some when I eventually move to partials.
