Beerlust Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 19 hours ago, beerdeluxe said: i placed this in the FV yesterday: 10.5 lt Total Batch #8 - Canadian Clubb Coopers Canadian Blonde Can 200g crystal malt (Steeped for 30 Mins) 30g Galaxy Hops 14.8% @ 25 Mins in boiling water will Dry Hop Galaxy 30g on day 5 US 05 Yeast rehydrated Original Gravity - 1.045 My gut feeling is this will likely end up extremely bitter. Boiling that much Galaxy hops for 25mins on top of the reduced volume using the Canadian Blonde kit has the IBU count off the charts. I'll be amazed if you can drink it once it's fermented out. I gain no pleasure being the bringer of bad news. I hope by some miracle I'm wrong. Best of luck. Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey when we say "day 4", is the first 24 hours day 1 or day zero?; Therefore day 1 is the second 24 hours? Cheers Shamus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry Lusty i meant to say that the below: "30g Galaxy Hops 14.8% @ 25 Mins in boiling water" Was actually a steep in water that was just boiling, i was going to boil it for 10-15 in the wort but the local brew store advised me that it would be a IBU disaster, much like your advice Had a bit of a taste of the sugars before pitching and it tasted great, fingers crossed it only gets better! so far the ferment is lookin good, its making that dense Krausen the US05 seems to love to do & have kept it in 18-20 range cheers!

Cheers Shamus Day 1 is the first day, the first 24 hours. There is no such thing as day zero. Zero days have passed but there is no "zeroeth day". When it goes into the second 24 hours, that's the second day as one day has passed. I usually don't refer to the time in those terms because people take them in different ways. I usually just say "after 5 days" or something. e.g. talking about timing of temperature rises. I usually say I raise the temp on lagers after they've been in the fermenter for 6 days. This would occur on the 7th day. It's a bit like your age. If you're 32 years old, you're living through your 33rd year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Lao Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Put this one down the other day and is fermenting away nicely, but forgot to add the Whirlfloc as per other thread: CCCM IPA, 59 IBUs 1.059 4.75kg Maris Otter 0.5kg Munich 0.3kg Cararye 0.2kg sugar HOPS Chinook 15g 50min Cascade 30g 15min Citra & Mosaic 30g 10min Cascade 20g 5min Citra and Mosaic 10g 5min This is my first time doing my own malt bill and not buying the recipe packs straight from Brewmart. Have enjoyed all beers with Maris Otter, Munich and Cararye so far All these hops are in my top 5 as well, so hopefully it turns out well..

Smashed Crabs Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 RIS is coming along nicely topped it up to 20L and took the reading, as you can tell I'm surprised how much it's dropped in less then a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 Bumped the temp up on the Motueka pale ale to 21 on the controller tonight when we got home. Nice inch or so of krausen on the brew so it obviously got going at some point Thursday after we left. I'll have to clean out the hydrometer test jar so I can take a sample tomorrow, or maybe I'll just leave it alone and check it Thursday and Saturday.

I can't believe how much steeping grains changes the depth of flavour! i am convinced, never will make a batch of only can soup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guvna Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Currently fermenting 2 brews which I have tried tweaking a bit from previous attempts. I've made 8 batches since July and kept notes and recipes in beersmith so I picked what I thought were the better ones to try again. Nothing really special compared to the AG and BIAB efforts I read about here but if they are as good as, if not better than the first effort I'll be cheering. first up - pimped pale ale version 2; 15g Centennial @ 15mins 10 g each of Cascade and Amarillo @ 5 mins 18 g Amarillo & 12 Cascade @ FO 1.0 kg LDME 1.7kg Coopers APA 1kg x BE2 1.5 pkts US-05 @ 19c - started after approx 12hrs 26 ltrs, OG - 1.047 - Currently sitting at 1.013 after 8 days, been dry hopped on day 5 with 30g Amarillo, Crashing in next day or 2. second up - toned down session ale of sorts ( I gotta make up decent some names for these brews one day) 200 gm crystal malt steeped 20 mins 15gm Centenial @ 60 mins 15gm Amarillo @ 15mins 20gm Galaxy @ 1 min 20 gm Galaxy @ FO 1kg LDME 1.5kg Coopers LME 400gm dex 1.5 pkts MJ - M44 @ 20.5 - took approx 24 hours to get going, which I'm happy with given many comments about m44 being a lazy starter 24 ltrs OG - 1.041 Hoping they're easy drinking , Cheers Guvna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Lao Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Put this one down today: Easy Amarillo Pale Ale 4.75kg Pale Ale malt 0.5kg White wheat malt 0.3kg Caramunich HOPS 15g Magnum 45 mins 20g Amarillo 10mins 20g Amarillo 5 mins 24 litres in fermenter 28 IBUs SG: 1.052 Really been enjoying the smoothness of Amarillo lately, nice and breezy......

porschemad911 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 I bottled up my English IPA last night, filled a 6l Tap-a-draft bottle for drinking soon and 10 stubbies for aging. It's a fairly full on beer, will be around 8% ABV once carbonated, has a nice bracing bitterness and then you're hit by a wall of EKG goodness. The body feels about right to balance things once it's carbonated. It's certainly a big contrast to the Dark Mild I was drinking while bottling. I'm looking forward to getting stuck into pints of this in a month or so! Don't think a 6 month sea voyage is needed for this to become enjoyable, but it will be interesting to see how the bottles age. Now onto the saisons!

Beer Baron Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Day 8 of my Pirate Life IPA clone today so I went to take a sample from my conical fermenter and the BIG dry hop has gone all the way up above the tap so my sample was thick and green. I’ll just use the expected final gravity number then Beer Baron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
