Whats Brewing For Easter 2006?

[Tony]

ahh yes, a good quote

I was a bit like that with the roggenbier.... I did it cause i didnt know it was a bitch to do hehe

I would use a really malty german lager yeast for it mate.

2206....... WLP833........ ooooooooo i love the 833

Was thinking of a cool ferment with German Ale...but I also have Bohemian lager, Munich lager, Danish II, YeastLabs pilsner, Bavarian lager, lambic blend and Czech pils, as well as a wild-infected Budejovice pilz yeast.

Bavarian, maybe?

Just joking about the lambic blend. I got it, but don't plan to use it here. Same goes for my other ale yeasts, except maybe YeastLab American Ale?

I have this kitchen sink American Amber bubbling away atm:

Coopers Australian Pale Ale kit as a base and a mini mash with much of my leftover grains:

1Kg Light Munich
250g Dark Munich
90g Light Crystal
120g Dark Crystal
30g Chocolate Malt

I mashed this with about 15g of Styrian Goldings flowers (should probably have used my willamette pellets, but I wanted whole hops in the mashtun). In the kettle I hopped generously with Amarillo pellets at 20mins and flameout and first wort hopped with another handful of Styrian Goldings. Added the kit and some dextrose to the fermenter. Pitched US-56

It's a little dark for an amber, but smells nice

[Thommo]

Racking a Californian Steam tonight and bottling a APA, but probably won't get the chance to brew a SNPA clone tonight as well (Away over Easter)

 

[n00ch]

I have been brewing quite a bit lately but i can't waste the time off so i'll be brewing a milk stout.
This is the first time i have ventured into the dark side. I can't believe i haven't brewed a dark beer before!

seth

the bavarian would be great

just my opinion

here is a bit from the BJCP guideline on the subject

Ingredients: German Rauchmalz (beechwood-smoked Vienna-type malt) typically makes up 20-100% of the grain bill, with the remainder being German malts typically used in a Mrzen. Some breweries adjust the color slightly with a bit of roasted malt. German lager yeast. German or Czech hops.
Vital Statistics: OG: 1.050 1.056
IBUs: 20 30 FG: 1.012 1.016
SRM: 14 22+ ABV: 4.8 6%

berazafi,

Good luck from me on the APA. Should be easy enough... :beer:

Tony, I'll get the Bavarian yeast started soon, and commence building it up. I have 100g of choc malt in there, too. It is the Schlenkerla recipe from Wheeler and Protz "Classic Euro Beers" book. Actually a smoked Marzen.

Thanks for the tip.

I wish you luck but you make your luck like a good AG, you won't look back and when you do you think 'why didn't I do this ages ago'. Too easy.

Brewed an altered version of a skunk fart pale ale yesterday, after a bit of a lag it has just started to krausen this morning. Fermentation fridge is full, so I just finnished a no chiller method of my experimental amarillo honey blonde.

I have also got a Porter and a Pilsner planned... they'll have to wait a while.

 

[Ducatiboy stu]

So many beers, so few weekends....

Might do a pale, and another mild...

 

[berazafi]
