#granted+brew Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Hi all, Bottling night and a double brew night here. Finished up the amber ale I've had going and harvested the yeast slurry (CCA) Put down PB2's Toucan Stout Coopers Stout 1.7kg Coopers Dark Ale 1.7kg Dextrose 1kg Made to 23 litres Pitched 360mls* CCA yeast slurry at 20°C and fermentation will be at 18°C for both batches. O.G. came in at 1.058 * I intended on only pitching 250mls but stuffed up.... hopefully all goes well. Second batch was an IPA Hop Slam 3 litre boil with 300g LDM 15g Cascade at 10 mins 25g Cascade at F/O 25g Galaxy at F/O T.C Brew A IPA 1.7kg LDM 1.2 kg Water to 23 litres O.G. was 1.045 240mls CCA yeast slurry Dry hop to follow 20g each of Galaxy and Cascade Going on a 12 day fishing trip in 7 weeks time and I'll be buggered if I'm forking out top dollar for shop bought beer so I'm upping production for the next few weeks! Double bottling and brew days Cheers, Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popo the Reprobate Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 That's a big night @#granted+brew! One of those three is enough for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Had a bit of left over cascade so going to throw something done “similar” to a SN Pale. Hope it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Looks nice mate. Going to have a little more hop presence than the SNPA. I use a 50gm keg hop in mine and it has more aroma compared to the original. I prefer it that way though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerlust Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 The Captain's recipe reminds me more of Dale's Pale Ale from the Oskar Blue Brewery that is reportedly all Cascade. Dale's Pale Ale is still the best commercial all Cascade beer I think I've ever drank. I must get around to making a batch this year. That should be a very nice beer Captain. Cheers, Lusty.

Beerlust Posted September 20, 2018 Author Share Posted September 20, 2018 Brew day today. Coopers DIY recipe: Fruit Salad Ale + 200gms Caramalt. I was 5gms short on Cascade & Amarillo, so added in 10gms of Citra that should work in with these flavours nicely. The reactivated CCA yeast was roaring to get at the wort prior to pitching too. A 30min steep of grain & hops, then mixed with the kit & LDM, yeast pitched & everything cleaned up all in under 45mins. I reckon that's a new record here at the Beerlust brewery! I'm really looking forward to reacquainting myself with this beer. Cheers & good brewing, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSands Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 A British Golden Ale on the go today using 'left-over' hops. My usual partial-mash approach i.e. 50/50 grain/extract where the extract is courtesy of a Coopers OS Lager can. First time using Gladfield's German Pilsner Malt. 1 x 1.7kg Coopers OS Lager 1.5kg Gladfield German Pilsner Malt 500g Gladfield Toffee Malt 200g Sugar 50g Bramling Cross @ 5 mins 50g Taiheke (30 min post-boil steep) Nottingham Yeast Mash 75mins@66ºC. | OG=1.044 | EBC=8 | IBU=30 | ABV= 4.6% | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have John & it is a very nice beer, but Dale's Pale Ale just tops it I reckon. I actually did a side by side of these two beers along with some others back in October last year. (Linky) Have you tried Dale's Pale Ale? Cheers, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerlust Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 It could well be mate, I honestly don't know as I've never brewed an attempt of the beer to know for sure. I've actually seen & read that post in the past. I've seen quite a few variations of supposed clones across a few different forums etc. BYO have one that has no Northern brewer at all. The 3 remaining hops in that clone recipe you linked to are all very similar & very citrusy so it would be easy to lose any of those hops in a blind tasting I reckon. I had a link to an HBT listed clone that was part of their top 100 a few years ago, but when I upgraded my comp last year, I lost a lot of web-based links that I had saved including this one. I did a solo FWH Cascade brew with only a further dry hop addition of the same a few years back that turned out terrific for the small amount of hops I used on it so when I do plan to make an all Cascade beer, this will be part of the angle I'll use to hopefully make a beer like Dale's Pale Ale. If you haven't already, try the commercial beer. You won't be disappointed. Cheers, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gullys Brewing Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 So finally putt my Citra/Centennial DIPA into the FV. Let's see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gullys Brewing Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I should mention it's not meant to be a DIPA just a IPA but someone added to much dark grain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 19L Belgian blond ale batch on the boil at the moment. 3.6kg JW pilsener 0.6kg BB pale malt 0.6kg dextrose added with 10 mins to go in the boil 27g Hallertau FWH 24g Hallertau @ 10 mins with the irish moss addition Mashed at 67c for 75 mins. Will be fermented using a 2L starter of Danstar Abbaye @ 18c for 2 days then raised 1c each day till 25c and held till done. Hoping for an OG of 1064 with a FG of 1012. Unlike all my other belgians this will be force carbed after a 2 week condition at 1c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowbrew Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Alright, so have any of you all grainers wondered what a kit and kilo beer would be like if you did one with the knowledge you have now? Well thats what im planning next. I picked up a Coopers Draught kit and a box of BE3 to see if i can make a decent quaffer for summer. The kit seems pretty fresh too, its best before date is 17-5-20. Ill post back here when i get around to brewing it up Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love a good sparkling and thought I could age it a bit as PB2 has spoken of that beer being good when aged a bit. Good luck with the brew Rowan. Hope it turns out well for ya.

Beerlust Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 I feel the pure extract beers tend to stay "green" for a little longer. That 6-8 week bottled mark & beyond always seems to be a nice point to be drinking them from my experiences, so PB2's comments on ageing this beer a little longer in a home-brewed scenario certainly have merit along with the fact it's a higher ABV beer. Just my 2 cents. Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
