Closed ferment. Open ferment. Expect a 21 day ferment. Depends on your taste Cap but blending 3724 with belle is my favourite. Mid way between extreme funk and mild funk. With no stall problems. A sub 7 day finish and a ~1002 ish end OG. Totally missed this one Greeny. Sounds like I’ll be blending this summer for sure. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can produce good results. I blended a couple of Coopers kit yeasts (possibly S-04 and BRY97) which worked really well. Nice subtle esters, plenty of body but a dry finish.

MitchBastard Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Prematurely Cracked open my first All Grain. Pale ale with centennial and citra, dry hopped with the same and mosaic. For only a week in the bottle it’s carbonation is passable. Should be perf in another week. Yummy 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly sure mate. 18+ most of the time I’d say. Being in QLD it’s rarely below 18 unless it’s the dead of winter at 2am. I just whack em in a plastic crate and put em in the cupboard and check back a week later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and am finally convinced I should try doing one) Have got some nice Cent n Citra in the fridge waiting to go... keen to do the dry-hopper. Interested when you added in the boil... and the sorts of weights for boil vs dry... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddyBrew2 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Cheers mate, im hooked . im brewing a Black IPA tomorrow, cant wait. My stock levels are growing and its only me drinking them but i just want to get onto the next brew 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Yeah that’s the thing mate, I’m like that too, that’s why I give away so much I think. Just so I have room to put another batch down and improve on the next. I look forward to hearing how your Black IPA goes, being Irish I think you’ll dig it. Me, not so much 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddyBrew2 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Ive had a few black IPA's . I really like them. But from what im reading ,its a fine balance as you wants the hops to shine without the astringency from the dark grains The missus encourages it, she got me into it cos i spent too much on craft. she got me the coopers kit almost 2 years and the rest is history . she cracked the shits after my first batch in the robobrew as the floor was all sticky. so i tell her now i brew outside, i even bought a good power lead. little does she know i still brew inside , i brew either on the days i work from home or the days shes out for the day . i now have the knowledge though to place towels under my unit and all over the floor before i brew 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 First brew accident and @PaddyBrew2 is on the deported plane back to Ireland. Ha ha ha Just hope she doesn’t come home early hey. I couldn’t brew inside I just find the smell lingers for way too long, even from my garage when I forget to close the inside door. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I hated brewing inside with the urn. I'm glad I can be outside again. Couldn't really stick a hook in plasterboard ceiling to hold the grain bag anyway I'm drinking a stout at the moment. Went to pour a dark ale and all I got was spluttering, so that keg will be cleaned tomorrow and refilled with the leftovers pale ale. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
