Hi Captain, I cool the cube in a half 200lt plastic drum, the reason is so I can pitch 2-3 hours later rather than next morning before work, the water temp in drum is 14 deg this time of the year in the shed, cheers

Hi everyone,

Just pitched the yeast in my first try at a Toucan.

Dry Hop Cascade 20g post ferment

Two packs of the Coopers O.S kit yeast rehydrated and pitched at 18'C

O.G. was 1.045

 

Fingers crossed for another successful brew.

Cheers, Lee

Back experimenting... Brewed up 11l of a kits and bits DIPL tonight. Hopefully it is strong, well-attenuated and bitter with a big hit of delicious Centennial. A bit over 1.070 OG and 100+ IBU pre-fermentation. 

1.7kg Coopers Mexican Cerveza kit

500g LDM

100g Dextrose 

150g Light Crystal Malt steeped

25g Centennial @15mins

50g Centennial @5mins 

75g Centennial @flameout 

75g Centennial dry hop to come

Fermented with Coopers kit Ale/lager yeast blend (slurry). It is currently getting very cold in my Cool Brewing Bag with a big ice block in the wort and another few ice bricks around the fermenter. See what temp it is in the morning, then I'll let it come up to where I want it to ferment at. 

Cheers, 

John

Cheers guys, I did an all grain version a while back which was really tasty, Centennial is probably my favourite hop. Thought I'd try and concoct a kits and bits version... And of course up the late and dry hops a bit as I felt it needed just a little more oomph. Not a cheap brew, more than $40 for a case-worth. I guess a case of commercial DIPx is going to set you back $120+ though, so I'm still OK with the numbers! And they're hard to find fresh enough to taste at their peak. 

It had a nice krausen at 10C this morning, still at 10C and going strong tonight, so fingers crossed for a good strong fermentation. 

Cheers, 

John

Yum John. Might be time for me to brew another IPL. I saw a good recipe online recently for an India Helles Lager. I'll add it to my "to brew" list

What's the recipe Jools? Helles being low bitterness and anything IPA having (should have) a solid bitterness, I'm curious about how that would work. 

Cheers, 

John

Hey John, it's a play on words.  I don't think it is a Helles in style at all.  The commercial beer is Camden Town India Hells Lager, I should have typed it like that.

 

The recipe is below, 20L batch:

 

Weyermann pilsner malt, 4kg/8lbs 13oz (75%)
Munich malt, 1.07kg/2lbs 5.75oz (20%)
Carapils, 270g/9.5oz (5%)


MASH
For single-stage, mash in at 66C/150F for 70 mins. For multi-rest, mash in at 50C/122F, raise to 62C/143F and hold for 60 mins, heat to 72C/161F and hold for 10 minutes. Mash out at 78C/172F


HOPS
Magnum 12.7% AA, 17g/0.6oz, 60 mins (to 25 IBU)
Simcoe 13.9% AA, 9g/0.3oz, 10 mins
Chinook 13.9% AA, 9g/0.3oz, 10 mins
Mosaic 11.2% AA, 11g/0.4oz, 10 mins
Simcoe 13.9% AA, 7g/0.2oz, 0 mins
Chinook 13.9% AA, 17g/0.6oz, 0 mins
Mosaic, 11.2% AA, 9g/0.3oz, 0 mins
Chinook, Simcoe, Mosaic, 80g/2.8oz of each, dry hop


YEAST
Fermentis Saflager W-34/70


FERMENT
10-12C/50-54F until halfway through fermentation, then 14C/57F till the end. When active fermentation is complete leave at 14C/57F for another 72 hours to reduce the diacetyl. After the diacetyl rest is complete, rack on to the dry hops in a separate vessel. Beef up with up to another 2g per litre (0.3oz per gallon) of more of the dry hops if you want to boost

 

This recipe is from the brewery itself!  It's actually taken from a book that I borrowed form the library called Craft Brew.  Breweries from all over the world (a few Aussie ones in there) submitted their recipes for publication.

Hey everyone! Been awhile since I posted but have still been brewing.  This weekend I am going to do an ale up to 21 liters with,

1.5kg of Maris Otter Malt 60 min mash at 65ish then 60min boil in 11 liters

200g rolled oats 

250g Caramalt

7g Warrior at 60 min

30g of Centennial and Galaxy  5 min boil ( I usually would just steep these right at flameout but since I am doing a steep at the end I just wanted to cut 20 minutes out of the day by not waiting for these to steep then cool down and then steep for another 15 minutes)

35g of each steeped for 15 minutes below 80C

1.7kg of Black Rock Light after boil

250g of wheat dry malt extract 

35g of each dry hopped for 3 days 

It should be around 28 IBUS and 1.050 OG.  

1 packet of M42 yeast

I am almost thinking about dropping the galaxy for amarillo or citra but I already have the galaxy so...but the centennial is staying, it is one of my favourite hops, but judging from some other posts it seems everyone likes some Centennial!?
