Smashed Crabs Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Pretty happy with the efficiency of that small batch had it at 75% brewhouse and at 1.050 expected ABV she came out 3 points higher. Pretty damn happy with the malt muncher so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside, you've got to make one of these with a 3:2 Enigma:Galaxy ratio one of these days ... just to tell me how it compares to a 2:1 ratio. Well I guess I could always brew using a 2:1 Enigma:Galaxy ratio to find out for myself ... but I am very lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark D Pirate Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Should be pouring by the time the red suited home invader arrives Easy Hefe 2 kg Wey pale malt 3 kg voyager winter wheat 128 g acidulated malt Fwh magnum to 7 ibu Perle @ 5 to 18 ibu total . Decoction mash including Ferulic rest Fermenting with Imperial GO1 Stefon. Carbing up yet another Smurtos golden ale and an all kiwi RRIPA I kegged last night. Sadly the keg I'm forcing myself to drink is still rubbish, ferment went wrong somewhere ( phenolic , harsh and warm) I'd got the recipe from current state champ ( nice guy, great brewer) and swapped the hop combos around and really glad I'm all out of Idaho 7 and will never use it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddyBrew2 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Wow. That’s next level $hit right there. I’m in Perth. My water tastes alright I suppose. How do you obtain your profile. Had a look at the watercorp website but it’s vague to say the least if chloramine is present in the suburb I live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Chloramine has nothing to do with the mineral profile of the water. It doesn't matter what water you have, it can always be removed with Campden tablets or similar. The mineral profile varies from location to location. You could try emailing your water supplier for a more detailed report. I did that, and they responded with the figures I was looking for. However, in the end I figured it was still pretty vague so I started making distilled water for every batch* and adding back mineral salts to achieve specific water profiles for whatever I'm brewing. It's more work but at least I know my water is the way I want it. *My red ale is an exception to this. I've found straight tap water works best for it (chloramines removed of course).

The Captain!! Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 @PaddyBrew2 I’m down south, I emailed the Water Corp and was phoned by them and got sent a link to the profile in my area. Said nothing related to minerals for brewing. Having said that most of your water comes from down south at the water plant near Myalup. Not much mineral content in it after it’s filtered from there.

Mark D Pirate Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Rain water, RO or distilled water if you can get it are blank canvas to dial in your water. It does make a difference to AG beer more than kitsbut getting rid of chlorine / chloramine is easy ( Campden / vit C tablets) There's some bloody handy spreadsheets or online calculators available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah I don’t, I think the water you have will be quite hard and a high ph. As far as the mineral content of that water is still unknown unless you get yours tested. The watercorp won’t give you all the info required for you to knowingly create or change your water profile for brewing water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
