[mje1980]

[bindi]

I'm going through a minor Bindi period just now having done The Dreaming AAA last friday and tomorrow I am doing his Dicky Beach Red. Can't wait to try them both out knowing how good his AAAs are.

cheers

Doing Bindi's AG Hefeweizen tomorrow, hope the smackpack of 3333 will wait till then, Cap'tn she's about te blow!

:unsure: -_- I am blushing stop it.
Did the Hefe again this week also with 3333 and it's going strong. Ran out of The Drunk Arabs AAA last night, now that's a good AAA and it's in the recipes above [I just increased the aroma hops a little] yum.

SWMBO is in Hawaii until next week so I think it will be a big brew weekend.

Want to knock a couple out for the NSW Championships, so will do a Kolsch, an English Pale and another Dunkelweizen. All it will leave is a Rye IPA which I'll do with the 10lbs of Columbus and Mt. Hood pellets she is carrying back for me :beerbang:

She's a great girl, she even deliberately packed light in anticipation for the added weight coming back

Got an AG pilsner in the middle of a diacetyl rest. Cant brew anything for the next couple of weeks because of a bloody holiday to Perth for two weeks! :angry:
Cheers
Steve

 

[big d]

A holiday in Perth is a bad thing?
Think of all the great micros that you can visit Steve.Im sure these should put your mind at ease for 2 weeks.

Cheers

Brown Ale this weekend

The kegs have taken a bit of a hit lately with the celebrations watching the Tri-Nations :lol:

May even have to fit in a brew mid week

 

[Steve]

I know Big D.....looking forward to it really - especially Sail and Anchor and Little Creatures.
Cheers

Good Day
Hope to do a double batch of Munich Dunkel on Saturday. Will use one batch for the NSW Christmas Case if it turns out well and assuming the case is still on (and I get in on time).

 

[Stuster]

I live on a street called Alt. Not wishing to be stereotyped ( tongue.gif ) I've never brewed an Altbier but this weekend I'm finally doing a Dusseldorf Altbier.

Anybody else brewing this weekend?

 

[Weizguy]

I s'pose that was a No, Stuster.

I'm due for another brew soon, but still need to rack 2 beers and save the yeast slurry for the next breed of bierspawn.

No-one has advised yet if the yeast slurry from my rauchbier will be too smoky to pitch a doppelbock onto. Or should I wash the yeast first?

Kolsch for me this weekend.
Looks like my German Ale WLP029 yeast isn't happy to get started so maybe using the WLP001/WLP051 combo I used on the RyeIPA last week.

[Whistlingjack]

Pale ale tomorrow.

If the local brewpub doesn't want to sell me some malt, then it will be a pilsner malt base.

Coopers pale yeast, recultured. Its jumping out of its skin as I type.

 

[Stuster]

So it seems, Seth.

I'm brewing as we speak (?), a tweaked DC Rye IPA. Tweaked as no Columbus, but that will soon change. Have to brew it again then. :chug:

 

[Weizguy]

Stu,

It seems that posters prefer to use the "No-Chill users" thread, rather than this one.

I mentioned something about one of my beers there tonight.

Seth

Nice beer; very unique.

 

[Stuster]

Yes, saw that one, Weizenboy. I'd heard that your technique was good. Trouble is that even though I am drinking a no-chill beer at present (perhaps I lied a tad about drinking when brewing ), I am chilling tonight. h34r:

 

[jimmy01]

Have an extract wheat in secondary, using K97 yeast. Never used this recipe or yeast before, so looking forward to tasting.

Also have an AG American Amber Ale in secondary. Have done this before and turned out quite nice. Last time used a Burtons Ale Yeast but have used dry US56 American Ale Yeast.

Next challenge is a proper Hefe Weisen - provided I can source a good yeast.


:beer:
Have a great week-end everyone

Popular choice that Kolsch eh doc?

What's your grainbill? Mine was

92% JW Pils
5% JW Wheat
2% JW Light Munich
1% Wey Carapils

Mashed at 63C for 30', raised to 71C for 60' (nice and highly fermentable)

10g Hallertauer Taurus 14.8% 45' (20 IBU)
20g Saphir 4.5% 5' (3IBU)

OG 1047, IBU 23

Yeast: WLP036 Dusseldorf Alt (5 years old, still fired fine, told white labs and they are sending me a gift pack for using such old yeast!). Would have used 029 if i had been able to get it.

If this turns out well then a clone batch will be the Xmas case entry, if not it will probably be the All Simcoe APA i'm thinking of.

Hey DJR,
Have brewed this many many times. An old fav. Sometimes I use Vienna instead of the Munich, but don't have any at the moment.

OG 1.046 31.4 IBU 40 litres

85.8% JW Trad Ale
7.1% JW Light Munich
7.1% JW Wheat

25.9 IBU Spalt @ 60
5.5 IBU Perle @ 25

WLP 029 German Ale (phew the starter is good this morning).

Beers,
Doc

Nothing this w/end.

Damn cats ruined my brewing budget this w/end with her vet bill.

But will bottle a Chocolate Porter.

And rack a golden Ale.

Got no time for brewing ATM, but will have a few hours in the next fortnight to brew a (kit) chocolate porter based on a coopers stout (choc grain and some extra hops with an english yeast) as well as a pilsner. Just as well I have over 2 full kegs to keep me going for a month or so...
