Shamus O'Sean Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 9 hours ago, ozlizard said: This is my dry hopping schedule but I am not sure how long I should leave the hops in. I saw somewhere that it was 48 hours for each one, is that correct? Just seems like a long steep. Hi OzLizard I use clean Chux cloths (actually a generic brand) taken straight from the packet. I only put about 50g in each so that they have plenty of space to expand. I fish the cloths and hops out after three days. If I put the hops in on a Friday night I will pull them out on the Monday night. I use powder-free food-handling gloves sprayed with sanitiser. That way I can give the cloths a squeeze to get bonus hoppy goodness into my brews. Cheers Shamus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So sounds like 48 hours is not too long. I am careful to sanitise the bag and my hands before touching anything and yeah squeezing out that goodness is compulsory! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer Baron Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I think I am going to try something like this for my ginger beer. I might use lime instead of lemon and might drop the crystal 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSands Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 The first version of this amber ale was a bit of a hit so I thought I'd revisit the recipe today. I've tweaked the original recipe a bit and unfortunately the LHBS was out of GF Aurora malt so I've had to sub in Weyermann's Abbey malt... seemed to be the closest match as far as I can tell. Amberillo (MkII) 50/50 Partial Mash 1.7kg Coopers OS Lager 1.4kg GF Ale Malt 400g Abbey Malt 250g GF Shepherds Delight Malt 250g GF Redback Malt 20g Carafa III 200g Sugar 20g Amarillo @ 10min 30g Amarillo @ 5min 50g Amarillo (Dry hop) M42 Yeast | OG=1.046 | EBC =28.5 | IBU=33.5 | ABV=5.2% | 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSands Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Brew day went pretty smoothly apart from a late start and consequently running out of daylight.... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewbert Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Attempting cider again, as im mad and been referred to as some one who would "swing their hand through a swarm of bee, just to get honey on my table" Scaling back to get it right before upscaling the volume. 3L Golden Circle Apple Juice 2L Golden Circle Apple / Pear / Raspberry Juice 310g of brown sugar 5g Mangrove Jacks M02 Cider yeast 1/4 tsp yeast nutrient So this time, starting with the yeast nutrient in (instead of trying to cram it in via raisins mid ferment), also the effective 900ml of pear juice works out to be 17-18% of overall wort, so should hold a bit more sugar percentage than the first go around. Hoping the cider yeast, and the nutrients plus the increased remaining sugars should make this one go nicely. Some head maths which are probably taking terrible assumptions and deserve to be berated, OG is 1063 Approx 18% of the sugars are from pear, which has about 50% conversion rate. so effectively 90% of the sugars are ferment-able. So not expecting a FG below 1.005. Well thats where i get lost. but hey, going with a target of 1.005. Im expecting about 7.6% ABV and 8% after bottling. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Big day tomorrow so probably won’t wanna post this but this’ll be in the urn from first light. Reiterated mash. Vanilla might be more than two pods. At kegging time I’ll add a 375ml of Black bourbon. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Hope the reiterated mash is going well. I used it on my big stout with good effect. Efficiency was only 6-7% lower than my usual 75%, and the grain bill was close to double my usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDT2 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Good evening I had a brew day today and put down a American Pale Ale as below all good no issues other than the weather I finished two points lower than calculated but no big deal. The orange zest created a nice aroma and the only change I made was the first hop addition I substituted Magnum for the Cascade. It's now in the fermenter with re-harvested US05 yeast at 19 degrees Cheers HOX Style: American Pale Ale OG: 1.054 Type: All Grain FG: 1.015 Rating: 0.0 ABV: 5.14 % Calories: 178.92 IBU's: 30.75 Efficiency: 78.00 % Boil Size: 30.00 L Color: 10.2 SRM Batch Size: 23.00 L Preboil OG: 1.042 Boil Time: 60 minutes Carbs: 14 Grains & Adjuncts Amount Percentage Name Time Gravity 3.80 kg 73.64 % Coopers Schooner Malt 60 mins 1.038 935.00 g 18.12 % Briess Vienna Malt 60 mins 1.036 425.00 g 8.24 % Joe White Crystal 60 mins 1.034 Hops Amount IBU's Name Time AA % 28.00 g 16.63 Cascade 60 mins 5.50 28.00 g 10.08 Cascade 20 mins 5.50 28.00 g 3.32 Cascade 5 mins 5.50 28.00 g 0.72 Cascade 1 mins 5.50 0.00 g 0.00 Cascade 5 days 5.50 Yeasts Amount Name Laboratory / ID 1 dry pkgs Ale Yeast Coopers 0 Additions Amount Name Time Stage 28.00 g Coriander Seed 10 mins Boil 56.00 g Orange Peel, Sweet 10 mins Boil 0.50 each Whirlfloc Tablet 10 mins Boil 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDT2 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I am so at one with computers I thought if I use the computer it would be easier to add the recipe not realising it would go outside the margins 🤬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
