tja1980 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) One fridge not really doing much, what that fridge needs is a fermenter in it... Looks like this weekend is a good time to knock up another No Rules Pale I might use the S-04 I have in the fridge for this one, all 3 FVs will be in action though Tristan Edited February 5, 2019 by tja1980 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont plan on brewing after this one as i will have nearly 90 PET bottles to get through, before i think about brewing again You're in the prime spot to save for kegging. Cheers, Lusty.

Otto Von Blotto Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 You'd probably want to brew something before you get through all 90 bottles though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tja1980 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Argh! Bottles, kegs were invented for a reason, bottles just there to fit what cant be put into a keg Tristan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 The only thing that stopped me was space. Once that became available the system was set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark D Pirate Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 @Otto Von Blotto about time I did a proper Czech pils Otto, you got your current recipe on here somewhere ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 It's probably in last year's brew day thread mate, but I'm planning another one for my next brew day. Just gotta get some more Saaz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Hopefully a double brew day today. Doing another Nevermind, The Buzzcocks which is my take on the Punk IPA. Second one, I’m not sure yet. Probably a more cleaner, less hoppy pale. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We finally got some sensible brewing weather in Adelaide for the week, Capt. Not to mention what a relief it is to this middle aged, heat intolerant lardarse. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Decided on a classic American pale for the second one. Bittered with Warrior and equal parts Amarillo, Centennial and cascade for flavour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#granted+brew Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Nice easy brew night here tonight, enjoying this cooler Adelaide weather while it lasts. Coopers Czech Pils #2 1.7kg Thomas Coopers 86 Days Pilsner 1.2kg LDM(coopers) 37g Saaz hop tea 500mls made to 20 litres kit yeast and 1 × 11g saflager w-34/70 rehydrated for 1 hour. Pitched at 18°C and will hold for 12 hours then straight crash to 10°C Forgot to take the S.G but I presume it would be around 1.045 or so hopefully. Have a good weekend all!

The Captain!! Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 @Rowbrew Hopefully turns out as juicy looking as your steam ale 🤪 Personally I’m not convinced of the US05 in these style of beers. I’d be interested to see this done as a side by side with London ale 3/US05 All the best with it though mate. Hope she turns out for ya. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just gotta get some more Saaz. What??? The 5000 pounds of Saaz you had in storage finally ran out??... So if commercial breweries are quick they can get hold of some? ...oh that's right, you used a fair whack of it on one brew coz the alpha was soo low. 3% or something wasn't it?! LOL Just kidding around (except for the 3%AA comment). Cheers & good brewing, Lusty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elLachlano Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 FebFast continues but that doesn't mean the brewery action slows down Did a bastard Downhill White IPA today. Bastard in that I didn't order the ROTM pack and couldn't find any Pacific Jade hops online. Then went to brew today and my inventory tracking of Amarillo failed me. Being a Sunday, it was improv time. After some googling on hop substitutes I mixed together some Magnum / Saaz / Cascade @ 10min and Cascade / Centennial for flameout. Don't know how close to the original recipe this will taste but I know it will get me beer. Will be interesting beer - I've not done a wheat extract before and never used K97 yeast. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time is my main deterrent for moving to all grain for the moment. A 4hr brew time on a robo is promising. I've always thought it was on average closer to 6. Good to hear you've got it down to there. I would be going the urn biab option tho which is less automated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 If it’s taking 6 hours then you have to be doing a 2 hour mash and 2 hour boil or something. A standard 60 min mash and 60min boil and no chill should take no longer than 3.5 to 4 hours. 30 mins to get water up to mash temps. 60 mins mash 30 mins to get it up to the boil 60 min boil 30 min or so steep 30 min clean up 4 hours all up. If your not steeping even less. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 It depends on whether you start drinking during the mash or the boil. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
