The pale malt in that was the Ale malt from coopers not the BB malt. FYI. However, there was a reason that it was Ale malt and not Maris Otter or Schooner. Look forward to your tasting notes. Can’t wait. I can’t wait either bloody auto correct gets me every time even auto corrects emojis 🤬🤬there was meant to be a thanks captain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, why not. I double dry hop single hopped beers. 70-90g, pull the first out and whack the second lot in of 70-90g then cold crash as I drop the second lot in. Gives a depth of aroma/flavour. Had a triple hopped Pale ale the other day that was on par with my double dry hopped beer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porschemad911 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 My wife wants the half-tin of Coopers hopped LME out of the fridge to make room for food. So brew day it is! Making 5l of something to ferment in a little jerry can I have lying around. Just going to boil the kit for a bit (yes I know you're not supposed to do this) to kill any bugs, then throw in 25g of something nice at flameout (leaning towards Motueka at the moment, but I do have quite a few different hops in the freezer). No-chill, then ferment with a spare kit yeast from the back of the fridge. Should fit in my Cool Brewing Bag next to my Craft fermenter no worries.

ozlizard Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 APA is at 1.024 after 3 days (started at 1.060). Ripping along, nice colour and aroma can't wait too taste it! Looks like it might get close to the target ABV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Did a rye pale ale yesterday. @The Captain!! Was nice enough to send me a recipe of his a couple of weeks back. Modified it a little after some googling and upped the rye content to 20%. Using rye I was amazed at how much crap was left after the boil. I left way more in the robobrew than I normally would. So ended up with 17.5 litres and also only got 68% efficiency with it. Anyway it's fermenting away with 1272 yeast at 18c. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the rye in my little recipe probably isn’t enough to call it a rye ipa but it’s still a really nice light spicy ipa. 20% is much more rye than in mine but that’ll give you that nice rye hit!!!! Thats a good yeast selection too mate I reckon you’ve hit the nail on the head with that one. I look forward to hearing how this one fairs.

Otto Von Blotto Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) Next batch for me is an English brown ale, but with Centennial and maybe some Cascade. I haven't got much else left..need to order more but got fn rego to pay this pay day so it'll have to wait another fortnight. Good thing there's a pilsner ready to ferment after this pale ale, that'll tie the fermenter up for a few weeks giving me time to order more hops in. Not sure which weekend I'll do this brew day yet, but I'll post the recipe when I do it. I made a couple of these beers last winter that went well.

joolbag Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Just the two chaps I wanted to chat to about flanders reds! I was going to start a thread about it. I'm def going to brew one. I need to buy my glass 23L demijohn first. I'm going to try and fine the Roeslaere blend from Wyeast and from what I read it will have to sit in the demijohn for 12 months until that pellicle drops. Set and forget. May even get an oak spiral to throw in there. Will also get a friend to turn down a piece of wood into a bung so there is just the right amount of oxygen ingress into the demijohn for this style of beer. I am going to get some more Rodenbach from one of my local bottleshops the next time stock comes in. I'm happy to buy beer - but usually new styles I haven't tried yet or beers like Rodenbach and Liefmans than I can't or haven't brewed myself yet, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example the De Struise Pannepot Gran Reserva spends 4 years in ex-Bordeaux barrels. No way I can make that, so I'm happy to pay a fair price to sample it, especially when it tastes so good! Unfortunately I'm not so willing to spend on locally brewed craft beer when in my experience it's fairly easy to brew something just as good at home for a much cheaper cost.
