Beerlust Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 Brew day! I have quite a few hops in varying quantities that need to be used up, so a bits & pieces brew is required. Scraps Pale Ale: CB Light Liquid Malt extract 1.5kg Light Dry Malt extract 900gms Wheat Dry Malt extract 120gms Gladfield Supernova Malt grain 200gms CaraPils Malt grain 100gms Chinook 25gms @ 30mins Citra 10gms @ 5mins Columbus & Citra 15gms each @ flameout (post boil steeped for 30mins) Will dry hop with a variety of Citra, Columbus, Centennial, Cascade & Ella at varying weights to use them up. Rehydrated US-05 yeast Brewed to 21 litres Ferment @ 18°C OG = approx. 1.044 FG = approx. 1.011 EBC = 12.8 IBU = 28.7 Kegged ABV = approx. 4.4% It should drink OK. Cheers, Lusty.

TerryG1525230053 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I was looking around my local home brew store and found the Thomas Cooper's Devil Half Porter. Then came across the CBW Porter pure malt extract 1.5kg. The Lady shop owner suggested Windsor British Style Beer Yeast. I put it all together and have it safe in the fermenting fridge at 22C. I rehydrated the yeast as per the instructions. Specific gravity came in at 1042. A quick taste test was some bitter but a nice soft tone with deep rich flavours. I think the Porter style beer has a higher alcohol content around 7.5% but not sure. That is my question on this particular style. Also, would a partial grain mash add to the body and flavour of the Porter? Looking forward to tasting this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerlust Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 Hi TerryG. I think the Porter style beer has a higher alcohol content around 7.5% but not sure. That is my question on this particular style. Also' date=' would a partial grain mash add to the body and flavour of the Porter?[/quote']Traditionally Porters are a lighter lower ABV% version of a Stout, so 7.5% is not something I would accompany to a Porter brew at all. Anywhere between say 3.8% & 5.8% I would still call Porter territory, but above that & you are really looking at a Stout (IMHO). I have brewed a Porter using the Coopers Porter kit & Briess CBW Porter LME mix. They do work well together, but I would add in a small grain mix of probably some choc malt & maybe a small amount of black patent or roasted barley the next time I brew this kit based beer. Good luck with your batch. Cheers, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSands Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I like a good Scottish Ale. It's a shame that all my relatives in Scotland drink macro American lagers. They drink good whisky though. I was introduced to a few of the local pints while I was in Endinburgh. I like my APA's etc so it's a bit of a challenge for me to brew an ale where the hops very much take a back seat. I struggled to get through an English mild I brewed last year' date=' found it bland and uninteresting. HOPEFULLY this brew in contrast will have a bit more of a personality! Och aye!

Beerlust Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 Hi guys. I've been looking forward to making a brew with the new Thomas Coopers Golden Crown Lager kit since it's release. My father has been nudging me to make him another beer since he demolished my last brewing of PB2's Nelson's Light recipe in record time , so I thought this kit might make a nice midstrength lager beer my father might like. Thomas Coopers Golden Crown lager kit 1.7kg Coopers Light Dry Malt extract 500gms CaraPils grain 150gms steeped @ 65-70°C for 30mins Hallertau Aroma (now Wakatu) 20gms steeped @ 65-70°C for 30mins Mangrove Jacks M76 Bavarian Lager yeast (rehydrated) Brewed to 23 litres Ferment @ 13°C OG = approx. 1.033 FG = approx. 1.008 EBC = 5.7 IBU = 28.8 Bottled ABV = approx. 3.6% I've never used any of the Hallertau hop strains before, although I've always wanted to, so happy to be trying one here for the first time. The Wakatu (as I should now be calling it) smelled very nice with a noticeable herbal & citrus tone. Hopefully my hop tea/steep works well in this recipe. A good brew for Dad to be the Guinea pig for. Having never sampled the original commercial beer, I'll be interested to see what this kit throws. Cheers & good brewing, Lusty.

jeremy-o Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Not sure what I'm gonna call this one. Probably just "Amber Ale" Makes 10L Vienna 2kg RedBack 300g Med. Crystal 200g Rye Malt 150g 10g Topaz @ 60mins 15g Topaz @ 5mins Topaz & Simcoe for Dry Hop US-05@18.5C I haven't used a couple of these malts or either of the hops. I had to think on my feet because they were out of the base hop I was hoping to use, but Topaz looks good. Hopefully the combo works! Grains are steeping now.

Titan8 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Due to time constraints I've gone for my favorite kit. Coopers English bitter 500g LDM 500g head & body ( think a be1 equivalent) OG 1.040 2x 23l batches Kit yeast pitched a 23deg on it way down. Now at 18deg in controlled freezer. Back to Sydney tomorrow for 2 weeks so these 2 will be ready to keg when i get back. Next big brew will be 2 batches of Kelsey's Ace of Spades Porter planned for Easter weekend.

Otto Von Blotto Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 That's why I buy hops from overseas. Even with the exchange rate they still work out about that price or a bit less per 100g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Warning: Longish post! I'm finally doing another brew day on the weekend, first one since Australia Day. It's nice to be able to stockpile wort for times when I can't do a brew. I'm looking at you Lusty, bloody anti-no-chill scoundrel Anyway, I'm doing another Bohemian Pilsner, and this one will be the last use of 2001 Urquell yeast, maybe for quite some time since Wyeast are pulling it from their regular strains and moving it to the "private collection" that only comes out every now and then, along with 2000 and a few others. I'm gonna grab a pack of 2000 this week to try out and use for a while so at least I'll be able to do that before it disappears. The others on the list I'm not that worried about as they're used in styles I don't brew anyway. Onto the recipe, this lot of Saaz I have only has an AA of 1.3%, and so there is 390g of it in the recipe to achieve the bitterness. Partly for this reason, I'm still brewing it as a 25 litre batch but I'm only putting it into a 20L cube. I figure the hops will soak up a fair bit of wort and when I use 25L cubes I can't fill them fully even with letting some of the hot break in which I hate doing. Also a first for me with these beers is throwing in a flameout addition of Saaz, so it will be interesting to see what that brings. This change in batch size but not wort size created a few headaches in Beersmith with stupid numbers that won't actually change on the brew day but did in the software if I changed something so I've just left the bloody thing as is and will take the efficiency hit from the smaller batch size. Given the amount of hops this would have most likely happened anyway, so I may as well use a smaller cube and leave the hot break where it belongs - down the drain. 21-22L batch size, brewed as a 25L batch based on 75% efficiency like usual, but will get about 10% lower efficiency due to the reduced actual batch size.

Otto Von Blotto Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Brew day tomorrow! This batch is probably the biggest experimental batch I've brewed to date. The style/recipe isn't so much, but the ingredients are. For this batch, the grain being used is the 5kg that another member here, dadndave, malted at home and dropped off to me earlier this year, plus 250g of the darker crystal that he also made. Part of the hopping will also be with my home grown Cascade. I basically have no clue whether it will turn out great, good, just drinkable, or rubbish. But I'm looking forward to seeing how it does go. This is also the cheapest batch I've ever brewed coming in at about $5 for the whole batch. 25 litre batch based on my usual 75% brewhouse efficiency. Water & Treatment 36.00 l Brisbane Water (APA profile) Water 1 - 11.68 g Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate) (Mash 60.0 mins) Water Agent 2 - 1.94 g Epsom Salt (MgSO4) (Mash 60.0 mins) Water Agent 3 - Grains 5.000 kg Pale Malt (Barrett Burston)* (3.9 EBC) Grain 4 93.5 % 0.250 kg Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (118.2 EBC) Grain 5 4.7 % 0.100 kg Acidulated (Weyermann) (4.5 EBC) Grain 6 1.9 % 70 minute mash at 67C followed by a 20 minute rest at 72C; mash out at 78C.

Wobbly74 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Had my first crack at an AG BIAB brew last night - bit of a learning curve. Recipe was based on dr smurto's golden ale, but I wanted to see if I could do an approximation of the 2 birds golden ale. KK were sold out of Moteuka so I decided to try Wai-iti as an approximation. I realised after the fact that I missed the summer hops, so I've ordered some and intend to dry hop or hop tea with it just prior to kegging. Mashed in at 71C into 32L of strike water, but had trouble holding the mash temp (ended at about 63) with a thin yoga mat strapped to the kettle and a crumpled up sheet on top. Think I need to get a much thicker mat and get the fit better. My measured mash efficiency reflects this at about 67%. I totally forgot to measure the PH, but pre-boil SG was 1.038. The volumes on beersmith seemed a bit different to what I observed - seemed to lose a lot more from grain absorbtion, but maybe I needed to squeeze the bag more (ended up with 27L pre-boil volume from the 32L strike volume). I cubed it after letting it steep but haven't measured the post boil gravity yet, but will do so when it goes into the FV tonight.

Wobbly74 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Got it in to the fv this afternoon. OG 1.042 pretty much bang on the bs estimation along with the 22L fv volume, though maybe slightly coincidental given my efficiency estimate and the difference in volumes from mash to boil. Anyhow, the US-05 has been pitched so will be interesting to see how this one goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
