Smashed Crabs Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Yeah I give em a quick rinse out to remove any debris and recycle em. But they are usually re purposed for other means in the garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with the brew, and if you survive i would love to hear how it tastes Dont think 3 would be unmanageable, up the volume and balance with hops.

Rowbrew Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 The 3 kits to a volume 23 litres will give you an OG of around 1.050ish and 72 IBU before fermentation. If it strips say 20% of IBUs that leaves 57 IBU. You would need to really watch your extra hop additions and maybe up the OG a little bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashed Crabs Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Yeah if I go for it will be at least a 25L batch any hop additions will be -80° in a small Carapils steep/boil then the rest dry. I just found 1.5kg of frozen mango in my freezer .. so might make the mango Cerveza I been planning instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowbrew Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 That sounds really nice @Smashed Crabs I have thought about doing a Mango IPA before too. How would you use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashed Crabs Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Puree it and add after primary fermentation is complete maybe in a BIA Bag .. unsure on what's the best method so far but read it's a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 3 kits in 23 litres would be about 1.066 OG. Each kit provides about 22 SG points. Where are you getting 1.050 from @Rowbrew? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashed Crabs Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Wouldn't happen to know the IBU would ya otto? Btw hope the move went well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Well it depends on the kits used. 3 cerveza kits would probably be about 60 IBUs. I'm only guessing that though. Move went smoothly, now just grabbing the smaller stuff over the week and probably the weekend as well. But enjoying living here far more than the old place. The house was ok, just the location sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made up a rough recipe in the brewing app i use, and it gave a reading of 1.055. Not sure whats happened there actually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowbrew Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 Ok, so my batch size was set on 27 litres, not 23. That is probably why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted December 19, 2018 Share Posted December 19, 2018 I'd say so. My manual calc comes in at 1.057 OG with 3 kits in 27 litres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grogdog Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 The citra mexican toucan turned out alright, not a skerrick of phenol/yeast/ester.. Only kegged for a couple days and good for the hot weather. Yesterday was orangey, today more mango. Keg hopped with another 50g of citra. Cheers and merry xmas wonderful ppl.

grogdog Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 edit; should say being a single hop its one dimensional in that regard without the layering of other hops. This could/should be my last kit brew but famous last words because kits are just so damn fun,, however the goal is great beer, by any means necessary, so we'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Never underestimate a kk brew. Single hop are good. Always make one when time shy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
