The Captain!! Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Looks good Noris. Seems your progressing well mate. compliments on the brew mate hope all goes well Captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris! Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Thanks Cap! Yeah I have been progressing steadily. I just put down a K&K of the cerveza with BE2, as a quick brew and I can def tell the difference in what I have been doing and that K&K. The grains bring a freshness to the batch that I like. I do love how a kit can take 20 minutes or less but the extra time I put in, now, makes the beer SO much better. Opportunity cost is time spent brewing, an extra 2 hours but the payoff has been worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said Norris. 12 months time you’ll have a 3v system, brewing a 13% double Russian imperial stout with bourbon, juniper and blueberry. I look forward to that post!

Norris! Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Hahaha! I spit my beer out reading that! "Juniper and blueberry" hahaha! But on a side note my wife loves 2birds passion victim, they use mango juice, but not a ton, it came across as a sh@@load of galaxy to me, so who knows(evil laugh which fades to dreams of brewing on a 3v system).

I’ve been finding a few IPL’s around and have thoroughly enjoyed them. Whats this book you speak of?

Yep. Centennial is definitely one of my favourites. Cheers & good brewing, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris! Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Cheers Lusty! I have to say your example showed me anyone could do a partial mash brew. Just Kidding! Your recipes and processes, the ones I can pick up on here, has given me the confidence to try to use grain more in my brews. Norris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Hey Brew Dudes Firstly a weather update from the Valley, it's 4oC and like pea soup out there this morning.

Scottie Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Mashing for 90 minutes, will be sparging at Lunch. First time I have been so radical with a water profile and the water is almost as cloudy as the view out the back of the brewery. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris! Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Ben I def will keep everyone posted. I cannot wait for it. I almost went with Joystick which is citra and barbarian yeasts blended, which would of worked well on this centennial and galaxy batch, but I thought I should know what each one bring individually first.

Beerlust Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 Brew day! Time for another batch of my Mosaic Amber Ale. I've been pining for some of this lately. For a small twist (this time) I'm going to add a little honey late in the boil. Cheers & good brewing, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously apart from the honey, this time. It does seem like a cracking beer and I think the pairing of Mosaic with an amber is spot on Captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerlust Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 Hiya Captain. I did one major variation on the recipe listed in the first post...once. It was nowhere near as good. All other brews I have done of this recipe have been exactly as written in the O.P. It just works. I'm very proud of this beer. Cheers, Lusty.

I’ve always been impressed with this beer looking at it, but now I have more experience with different hops and styles I think it looks like a cracking beer. For all of you out there that like ambers and want to brew one with extract. Brew this and you’ll be on a winner. Captain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that this will be enough time to get benefit from a dry Hop at day 10. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
