Brew Day!! Watcha' got, eh!? 2017


Beerlust

Recommended Posts

Made a Strawbeery Saison. Hull Melon hops - very berry to me.

And today Pacific Ale. A touch of PoR early and then flameout Galaxy and dry hop. Melbourne Ale yeast. PoR at the start as I don't have enough Galaxy left to go purely late Galaxy.

 

How are you finding the Melbourne ale yeast? I just pitched my first ever starter (exciting) which was this into my Melbourne tea party neipa which is fermenting away in the kegmenter at 10psi now. I went with it because it was listed as a medium floc, but sounds like it might be higher...?

I like it. Finished dry and drops like a stone when done. My last pitch of it went to shit though. Some bandaid crap got in.

This Melbourne tea party NEIPA sounds fascinating. Last week was Sydney Beer Week and I got to try a heap of NEIPAs at a special event at The Noble Hops. Tried Mornington Squid Rising, Mornington Jiffy Squid, Sauce Bubble n Squeak, Old Wives Ale Lupulonimbus and Hop Nation Jedi Juice. All delicious and I am a big fan of the style and will brew one in the near future (after my 4lbs of 2017 American hops arrives from the States).

 

What's your malt bill and hop bill/schedule?

 

I have favourited a few recipes from online for inspiration but haven't yet devised my own take in Beersmith yet. Soon though

This is my first hit out at this style, so take with a grain of salt. In retrospect I think I could have gone heavier on the late boil hops at the expense of the bittering addition. Will see how this tastes in a couple of weeks.

Hi Wobbly,

 

Interested to hear how your NEIPA turns out. I've had a few commercial examples of the style and really like it, prefer it to the west coast style IPAs.

 

I don't know anything about the Melbourne Ale strain but most recipes I've seen for this style use The Yeast Bays Vermont Ale (Conan strain) or Wyeasts 1318 London Ale III. Any reason you went with the Melbourne Ale yeast?

Really because I was keen to try it, had it on hand and wl listed it as a medium flocculator. Time will tell - it's been fermenting under pressure for almost a week now, but I have to head out of town for a week so won't get cold crashed and kegged until I get back ...

Will be keen to compare tasting notes Ben10 and Rowbrew once we have all of ours bottled/kegged and carbed up.

 

Hey joolbag.

Mine has been in the bottle for a couple of weeks now and i have sampled a few. Its nice, but i was expecting a little more passionfruit flavour from the Galaxy. Its there, but its quite tame. Also Bennys beer looks a way nicer colour than mine, mine is very pale looking. Next time i think i will up the Galaxy by another 100g, or maybe use a mix of 100g Galaxy and 100g Cascade or Mosaic or something

Well my version is terrible and I ruined my entire brew down by using old Galaxy hops. I posted this on another thread (https://club.coopers.com.au/coopers-forum/topic/17667/) or two.

 

I was recently at Stone & Wood brewery and they had a glass full of Galaxy hops pellets to smell on the brewery tour. WOAH. Super punchy and aromatic, the passionfruit just came through so strongly.

 

I really need to get myself some 2017 Galaxy hops from my LHBS and re-create this recipe. I will stick to the 60/40 ratio of pale to wheat malt again, bed down this recipe and nail it for a summer quaffer and a giveaway to friends who aren't hop heads yet.

 

Rowbrew, I didn't have a problem with the colour of mine. Pale straw, light, fizzy and summery. Very much like a Pacific Ale which pairs well with a light meal following a swim at the beach.

 

Apparently S&W use 20% wheat malt in their Pacific Ale. I will play around with fresh hops and this recipe until I nail the Galaxy Pale Ale to my taste.

I did read about your failed Pacific Ale, im sorry to hear it. The colour of mine isnt too bad, its just i saw a pic of Bens in the "What are drinking" thread, and it looked so good. Mine is like a pale straw colour too.

Hey Rowbrew, I went looking for Ben10's pic after you mentioned it. That is a beautiful colour beer! I have an APA malt bill that includes a bit of crystal and munich and comes out about the same colour, but those malts wouldn't be appropriate for the summery Galaxy ale that we are brewing.

 

Good to know for future brews that I can achieve that colour with the tiniest adjustment, and not affect the flavour. Will try it too at some stage

First time brewing a Dubbel-style beer, though I did do a Belgian blonde a month ago. I'm not bothering with the candi-sugar, table sugar will suffice for now, and am using local malt & hops. Also, it's my 2nd time using Fermentis Abbaye yeast:

 

Belgie Brune

(Partial Mash)

 

1.20kg Gladfield Pilsner Malt 22.2 %

500g Gladfield Aurora Malt 9.3%

3kg LME 56.6%

200g sugar 3.8%

 

200g Gladfield Med Crystal Malt 3.7 %

100g Gladfield Shepherds Delight 1.9%

100g Gladfield Light Chocolate Malt 1.9%

 

 

10g Waimea - Boil 40 min

10g Sticklebract - Boil 10 min

Fermentis Abbaye BE-256 yeast

 

| OG=1.061 | ABV=6.8% | EBC=35 | IBU=21 |
