Silmaril Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Atrocity Ale... can't see it hitting the Recipes page any time soon! My spongiest friend likes my worst brew best... the original Lager that came with the kit. Fine by me, take it!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I'm not very nice and slightly annoyed my goal here is passive aggressive with a stated goal of making really bad beer. This is not something I do as a rule, this is not something I'd suggest anyone else do as the results are depressing if you have to drink it. I'll get my satisfaction from watching freeloaders drink it, worst case if they learn the lesson I'll brew another abomination to blend it with 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to think about what yeasties you're prepared to sacrifice to the cause, there's not that many strains that will handle stupidly high gravity without off flavours. DO NOT FOLLOW MY LEAD HERE, this is a "test to destruction" scenario. I'm testing this yeast and my housemates so I can draw funding from 2 separate uni budgets.... Oh chit... No I'm not 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashed Crabs Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Yeah I just wanted to clear my stock since iv moved on from kits... but might just keep them and wait for the ROTMS to come out and do them if they marry up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elLachlano Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Just finished a Rad Abbot. InShot_20190109_121728681.mp4 A little extra coriander seed this time. All wrapped up by 11:30am. With 2 boys under 6, speed is probably the one thing keeping me from moving to all grain for the moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris! Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Hey all and happy new year. I just did my first revisit of a recipe, that wasnt a pimped out kit. Stepping to the AM II 1.5kg Pilsen lme briess added after the boil 250g dry wheat malt extract and 750g light dry malt extract added to a 10l boil, well 850g added to the boil with 250g of the carapils to get to around 1.040 for the boil, with the remainder added after the boil. 250g carapils steeped for 40 minutes 250g dextrose added after the boil, to help make it crisper. 15 min boil 10g Azacca and Mosaic 3 min boil 25g Azacca and Mosaic 1.050 OG with 26 IBUS 65g dry hop of both after fermentation ends Joystick Yeast 300ml of slurry, 1 month old from a 1.045 batch, washed. Might be an over pitch but wanted to ensure a good pitch rate since it was older than 2 weeks, so between 360 billion cells and maybe 270 billion cells so should be ok, I think, if I understand slurry density right, 1.2 billion cells per ml of slurry? I switched up the boil times for this batch, last one was all at flameout with another addition after the temp dropped to below 80c to get to around 28 ibus, but my notes said it was a little to bitter, so I wanted to control the bitterness better with boil times instead of flameout to see if I could taste a difference, hopefully I dont lose too much aroma and flavour but the big dry hop should help with that at 6.2g/l dry hop, we will see. I also switched the yeast from M44 to Joystick to use the slurry and save some dollars and added wheat malt to help add some body to it along with upping the alcohol content slightly, the dry hop almost tripled from the last batch of a modest 22g of each. So besides those slight changed...all the same recipe, haha. Good brewing, Norris 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tja1980 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 (edited) Put down a All Grain Australian Pale Ale - No Rules - No Chill This is the 2nd All Grain I have done while dialing in the new kettle and mash tun changes I've made. Recipe Specifications -------------------------- Boil Size: 25.85 L (*) Post Boil Volume: 23.96 L (**) Batch Size (fermenter): 23.00 L Bottling Volume: 23.00 L Estimated OG: 1.046 SG Estimated Color: 12.3 EBC Estimated IBU: 32.1 IBUs Brewhouse Efficiency: 72.60 % Est Mash Efficiency: 72.0 % Boil Time: 60 Minutes Ingredients: ------------ Amt Name Type # %/IBU Volume 4.50 kg (Briess) Pale Malt (2 Row) (7.0 EBC) Grain 1 92.8 % 2.93 L 0.25 kg (Briess) Carapils Malt (2.0 EBC) Grain 2 5.2 % 0.16 L 0.10 kg (Briess) Caramel Munich Malt 60L (120.0 EBC) Grain 3 2.1 % 0.07 L 14.00 g Super Alpha [13.00 %] - First Wort 75.0 min Hop 4 25.2 IBUs - 1.22 Items Whirlfloc Tablet (Boil 15.0 mins) Fining 5 - - 10.00 g Galaxy [14.00 %] - Steep/Whirlpool 20.0 min, 90 Hop 6 5.0 IBUs - 10.00 g Summer (Summer Saaz) [5.50 %] - Steep/Whirlpool Hop 7 2.0 IBUs - 1.0 pkg Safale American (DCL/Fermentis #US-05) [50.28 m Yeast 8 - - 35.00 g Summer (Summer Saaz) [5.50 %] - Dry Hop 7.0 Days Hop 9 0.0 IBUs - 20.00 g Galaxy [14.00 %] - Dry Hop 7.0 Days Hop 10 0.0 IBUs - Mash Schedule: Single Infusion, Medium Body, Batch Sparge Total Grain Weight: 4.85 kg ---------------------------- Name Description Step Temperature Step Time Mash In Add 14.65 L of water at 73.5 C 66.7 C 60 min Sparge: Batch sparge with 2 steps (Drain mash tun , 17.06L) of 75.6 C water So was just over my Brew House Efficiency 72% (72.60%), a couple of issues I found: *) I've only accounted for dead space under the false bottom that can't be recovered so I guess this is one part of my dead space loss i) My pre-boil volume came out at 29.50 liters, estimated in Beer Smith was 25.85 liters, I only put 31.5 liters in not 31.71, I'm at a loss as to why the estimate was 25.85, is this due how the grain was milled I'm still trying to work out what the recoverable value would be based on. **) Since modifying the kettle with the electric element this has changed my boil off, which originally based on gas, this is a easy one to resolve. ii) Take enough water to cover the element say 10 liters in my case, bring it to boil for 15 minutes, cut the power put the lid on the kettle and then measure what I have left out of the 10 liters then multiply that by 4. I was happy my mash strike temp was .3 off the estimate, and also my mash efficiency was 97%, with the 1.2 liter top up this hit my estimated OG of 1.046, so yesterday was a successful brew I noted four issues I had three have been resolved, notably the boil off rate still needs to be adjusted. I did have a stuck sparge this added 30 minutes to the mash schedule, purely this was trying to unclog the tube from the pick up on the false bottom to the drain port, I did end up adding an extra 3 liters from the 17 I had in the HLT, this made the mash less gluey but didn't resolve it, blowing up the drain pipe cleared it after a few attempts to where I had a nice flow. There is a little gap where the false bottom isn't quite flat, so I'll take about 10 mm of material off the screen this should fix that Hope these notes help some people out with starting all grain brews Tristan Edited January 9, 2019 by tja1980 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tja1980 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Point ii) should be take the total 10 liters and subtract the post boil which will give you the loss then multiply the loss by 4 for a 60 minute boil. Tristan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I don't think a 5 can would turn out very well at all. I'd just keep them as keg fillers or use them to make yeast starters. Anyway, I have the desktop computer here now, will set it up tomorrow (or later today) and make up a recipe or two to get done before I go back to work on Tuesday. Unfortunately I won't be able to post them yet because the internet isn't being connected until Monday, but once it is I'll put them up.

Smashed Crabs Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Stopped off at the hop and grain store and picked up a few random bits n pieces I hadn't used before. Looking forward to trying the acid malt and topaz / calypso hops instead of my goto Galaxy yes I know Ella is in there but that's for a ESVA ima put down. Just gotta make a recipe for 2morrow. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashed Crabs Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 @Beerlust I was dropping the missus off at the airport and she was wondering why I was happy to drive a hour thru Sydney peak hour traffic to do so.

Gullys Brewing Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) I did the same today. Brought some grain I haven't used. Carared, pale choc and chocolate malt. Now what to do with it. Got a hop spider at the same time. Edited January 10, 2019 by Gully85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
