Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Doing a quick saison today. Usually i put in a small amount of crystal but didn't have any so its just pilsner malt and wheat this one. 19L batch using heaven sent H20 5gm gypsum 3.5kg pilsener 0.5kg wheat 15gm magnum @60 20gm cascade @10 Irish moss at 10 5gm coriander at 10 20gm cascade at FO for 20 mins Was a bit worried about ph with this one even using the rain water. As it turned out it has come out at 5.6 in the mash. Close enough. This will be fermented with a blend of 50% BE134 and the other 50% being a blend of belle and 3724. See how she turns out 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty Corner Brewing Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Mashed in and cube chilled a sweet stout this morning which will go in the fermenter tomorrow for my vanilla stout. Horrible brew day. Temps were all over the place but looks I hit my numbers ok. See how it goes once fermented I suppose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerlust Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Easy brew day today. Coopers DIY recipe: Enterprise Lager I've never used Pacific Jade hops before & was part of what attracted me to the recipe. They smelled nice with a medium intensity citrus aroma & peppery note. Mixed with the herbaceous characters of the Euro kit & a dry hop of Enigma, should make for a very interesting & enjoyable beer once on the pour. Cheers & good brewing, Lusty. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DIY ESVA recipe base only uses 500gms of dextrose to hit approx. 7.5% ABV. This caught a few home brewers out a few years ago & a number of them ended up with beers over 8.5% ABV! I hope you've pitched enough yeast. Best of luck with the brew(s), Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashed Crabs Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Yeah I don't mind a strong ABV beer. These will have 5 months to mellow. Pitched 2 us05 slurrys so hopefully be ok. Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brew House Efficiency: 71.6% Mash Efficiency: 81.6% Way off on the IPA, still trying to work out what went wrong here, was out 600ml on water, I was slightly hotter on mash temps around 2-2.5 degrees, I was even thinking I stuffed up my grain weight, not sure oh well see what happens when I repeat it 70 Liters brewed for the year Tristan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait for it to be bottled and carbonated Descriptor is the following Sabro brand HBC 438 is a US aroma hop that is notable for its complexity of fruity and citrus flavors. It imparts distinct tangerine, coconut, tropical fruit, and stone fruit aromas, with hints of cedar, mint, and cream. With a robust brewing performance, Sabro proves to be a strongly expressive hop that translates its flavor incredibly well into beer.

Smashed Crabs Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Was last brew day for that period. I've given myself some time to square everything away bottling wise before I leave on that trip. Shoulda mentioned in my previous post I'm currently at sea but will be home in time to bottle it before I leave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
