There's more to producing banana aroma than yeast and fermentation temps, eh Bulp
I've done a rather extensive mash on my last two weizens and i don't know how different a single infusion would be and i don't think i'll try, i've been wrapped with the results. I totally trusted Zwickels brewing prowess on this mash schedule and i can't argue the finer points of this mash (being a newb) i just know how it tastes and i'm happy. With my system its very easy for me to do steps so why not .
Step Time Name Description Step Temp
0 min Step Add 16.50 L of water at 37.0 C 35.0 C
20 min Step Heat to 42.0 C over 10 min 42.0 C
20 min Step Heat to 52.0 C over 10 min 52.0 C
30 min Step Heat to 63.0 C over 10 min 63.0 C

Hey fellas,
i just tapped this last night.
It's my first CAP. Brew day didn't go quite as planned. I used pop corn and got a shocking efficieny. Ended up only making 15Lt, but for some reason kept the hops as is.
Don't you love it when your stuff ups end up tasting awesome.
it is more hoppy and bitter than i was originally intending, but still tastes awesome.
Also, used a filter for the first time, check out the clarity.
Cheers,
Al

If you want to get ahead, get a Classic American Pilsener.

Cheers,
I kinda thought i'd somehow stuff up the filter on my first go, but it worked okay. Slow, but okay. I think the lightness from the corn helps look clearer too.
CAP is a Classic American Pilsner. This one is pretty similar to a Czech Pilsner i did at about the same time but with corn added. Got the recipe from Jamils online recipeis.
You refering to the beers head? If so i was supprised by it. I assumed with the adjuncts the head would dissipate straight away, but i've never had a head last that long, not even with a wheat beer.
Could be the high carbonation helping too.
Cheers,
Al

A pic of my latest batch of czech pilsner in a recently acquired bitberger glass I got from a 6er promo pack the other day.

hehe, i assumed it was a play on words, but didn't want to jump to conclusions in case i was well off the mark.
Devo,
Beer looks good mate. How does it taste? I've got a Czech Pilsener lagering in the fridge that's ready to be kegged.
Nice looking beer Devo.... There not bad glasses either we got two with ours... maybe it was a 12 pack.
I always like the look of your'e beers.
My 1st use of Bramling X in a Ruddles inspired beer. Ross gave me some hints/tips a while back so not sure how close the recipe is to the one you gave me (i know Styrians are supposed to be in there?).
Anyway, tastes noice, looks awright. Cant be all bad!
Moi Aussi
Love those Bramling Cross. Took a few litres to Sully's brew day and they voted it a good session beer.
Made a big mistake and used B.C. in an American Amber for a minicomp (judged last night) I had mistakenly ordered Chinook from Ross instead of Cascade and needed another late hop in the mix so B.... (he whom we Men of Gondor no longer name) suggested the Bramling Cross, for the blackcurranty aroma. It got chucked out at the comp because when the panel tasted it, their buds being saturated with Amarillo, Galaxy, Cascade etc they got a very pronounced foreign note in mine that they put down to an infection FFS. Nothing at all wrong infection wise with the beer itself in isolation however when you crack a bottle you certainly get a whack of the B.C. Serves me right to:
- Get out of style when the beer is for a comp
- Follow the advice of a UK mild brewer re American Ales

I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I cannot mash that

cheers Katie and A3K. Pilsners are one of the styles of been focusing a lot of my attention to over the last 12 months and could say that I'm finally getting close to being happy with the out come.
OT but funny.
When Zwickel visited recently he gave some of us QLD brewers some stemmed Bitburger Glasses and some stickers with "Bitte ein Bit" on them. He explained that it means "a Bit please" or as he said "Give me a Bit".
One of the brewers decided he was going to put the sticker on a T shirt for his wife :lol:
