Rowbrew Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Looks awesome Rowbrew.. Cheers mate! That English IPA looks pretty good too. I have yet to brew one of those beers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Yeah but missed the mark a little on my OG. The maris otter was precrushed from the brew store rather than me doing it myself. Not sure if that buggered me up but I only got 1.055 which will give me a 5.5% ABV beer. Ah well sh*t happens I guess.. Putting down another this afternoon. This will get rid of a lot of ingredients as I will be out of brew action for 3 or 4 months.

Otto Von Blotto Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Your efficiency will drop the bigger the grain bill gets, so that probably explains why the OG fell a bit short on the IPA brew, although the grain crush could have a bit to do with it as well. The same thing happened/happens to me when I brew beers with bigger grain bills than I normally use, but I've worked out how far to adjust the efficiency to account for it when designing such beers and manage to hit my targets that way, or even go over a little.

Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Yeah true Kelsey. Its about the 5kg mark where the robobrew starts to struggle. Think the grain crush was also another factor. I usually do a medium crush when I mill myself but this seemed very coarse. Anyway 4 points out is no big deal. The Pale ale I did yesterday finished spot on OG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I usually find a coarser crush gets me a better efficiency than a finer crush because it's easier for the wort to drain out of the grains. But I suppose every system is different too and has its best suited arrangements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Just an update from a few batches I did here and the crazy attentuations Post 39 - Tale of two saisons. Saaz saison finished at 1.003 so a 94% attentuation which is normal for me for Belle Saison. Cascade finished below 1.000. 0.999 for a 102% attentuation. Never had it go that low. Actually prefer the saaz one. The cascade is dryer and a little tart. Interesting how for the same ingredients only a couple of days apart gave a different result. Post 33 - Belgian Golden ale finished @ 1.008 for 88% attenuation after a stall around 1.035. First time this has happened for me but apparently prone to it. A stir of the batch got it going again and it finished off nicely. From a sample taste it was a better 2nd attempt at duvel and should be really nice come 3 months in the bottle.

The Captain!! Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Benny's Big Red Rye IPA today. Hopefully it gets that big red colour I've been chasing. Let me know how you go! Yeah will do Ben. I’ll cold crash when I get home from work and bottle 6 days after. Hoping that’ll clean up enough to give it that nice clear red hue. Anyone used Wyeast 1450? My first liquid yeast try out' date=' so will try to save and repitch this bad boy.[/quote'] Ben, Just cracked the Benny’s Big Red Rye. That is a cracking beer mate. Nice red hues. Bold flavour and nice hop presence. And with a little age it’ll meld that black malt out a little. I’ll try post a photo a bit later.

porschemad911 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Last night I brewed up a kit-based India Brown Saison. Using a 4kg ice brick to cool the 5 litrs of hot wort then topping up to 11 litres resulted in a wort temperature of 18° in the fermenter. The beer is currently fermenting nicely with a big krausen at 19° C in my Cool Brewing bag and I'll just let it free-rise from here. Once the krausen drops a little in a few days I will add the dry hop in my stainless mesh canister. Stats: 11 litres, 1.046 OG and 60 IBUs pre-fermentation Recipe 1.7kg Coopers OS Lager kit 250g Joe White Chocolate malt (500 - 800 EBC) steeped 50g Centennial at flameout 50g Centennial dry hop to come Danstar Belle Saison slurry I expect the FG to drop down to about 1.005 or 1.006 for a nice dry, hoppy beer with a bit of roast. I started the ferment temps fairly low to keep the yeast character subtle. I'm also expecting this yeast strain and pitch rate to lower the IBUs in the finished beer a fair bit down to the lower 40s. Will it be any good? I guess I'll find out ... the Joe White Chocolate malt is fairly tame so I doubt that element will overpower the rest. It it ends up being all about the Centennial then from past batches that is in no way a bad thing! Cheers, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Brewing up another APA on Saturday, this one is also using up leftover hops. Chinook and Centennial in this batch. I've done a batch with these two hops before that turned out well, however this one features a slightly different hopping schedule. Tomorrow I'm going to order some Saaz along with some NZ hops, start making more distilled water so I can get back into the pilsners, and do some pale ales with the NZ hops to see what they're like. 25L batch, based on 75% brewhouse efficiency Water and Treatment 36.00 l Brisbane Water (APA) Water 1 - 10.00 g Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate) (Mash 60.0 mins) Water Agent 2 - 3.50 g Calcium Chloride (Mash 60.0 mins) Water Agent 3 - 2.00 g Epsom Salt (MgSO4) (Mash 60.0 mins) Water Agent 4 - Grains 4.000 kg Pale Malt, Maris Otter (Thomas Fawcett) (5.6 EBC) Grain 5 81.6 % 0.500 kg Munich II (Weyermann) (16.7 EBC) Grain 6 10.2 % 0.300 kg Crystal Malt - Medium (Thomas Fawcett) (150.0 EBC) Grain 7 6.1 % 0.100 kg Acidulated (Weyermann) (4.5 EBC) Grain 8 2.0 % Mash at 67C for 70 minutes, 72C for 15 minutes, and 78C mash out.
