Otto Von Blotto Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I like Hobgoblin. If it turns out something like that I'll be happy. Realised halfway through the brew day that the previous batches had brown malt in them as well, forgot to add it this time 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porschemad911 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) I brewed up my Black DIPL based on the OS Dark Ale kit tonight. Man the whole house smells so good... I guess 12+g/l flameout hops is a decent dose... Time to do a hoppy beer right. Recipe was... 11l fermenter volume, 90 IBU, 1.080 OG, 100 EBC 1.7kg Coopers Dark Ale kit 750g Coopers LDM 250g dextrose 80g Simcoe at flameout 40g Motueka at flameout 20g Bravo at flameout I will do 2 dry hop doses of the following (1 in about a week and the second 3 days after that to replace it): 60g Simcoe 30g Motueka 10g Bravo I've pitched my Coopers IS ale / lager yeast slurry and it should be at about 10C by the morning to begin the ferment.

elLachlano Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Rainy days = 2 consecutive brew days = full FVs! Finally got a lager down due to the cold weather. Bring on that sulphur smell. FV1: (in the fridge) English bitter can with some magnum for extra punch and CCA yeast. FV2: (ambient shed) 1st Borough Lager that I'm gonna dry hop with Amarillo and Chinook. Totes tempted to try and get another lager down tomorrow. If only for more Hallertau Mittelfrueh... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Running low on beer so have just finished a 19L concentrate for two pale ales to ferment tomorrow in 2 fermenters. Used a lot of different hops on this one to clear my old hops 5kg pale malt 500gm light crystal 500gm munich 500gm LDME with 10 mins to go Mashed at 65c for 90 mins. 60 min boil. 28gm magnum, 11gm sticklebract, 13gm perle at 60 mins 40gm galaxy and 20gm mosaic at 10 mins with irish moss 40gm galaxy and 20gm mosaic at flameout. Will have to buy some more hops for the dry hop and keg hop. Both to be fermented with US05. One a 2L starter made from slurry and the other 300ml of 2 week old slurry. Was hoping for 1076 but only got 1072. Both fermenters will be a touch below 4% ABV. Ah well. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navigator Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Well I just put down 2 more brews yesterday in Fv1 I have done an Irish stout 23 Ltr with vinalla essence and ditched the coopers yeast for a safale s-04. And in Fv2 I have done my first tea hopped brew, its Australian pale ale with 25grm citra and 25 grm Galaxy, also switched the coopers yeast for saf us-05. Will be dry hopping on Wednesday probably 25 grms of each again. Does this sound right to anyone? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddyBrew2 Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Sounds spot on. You could up the dry hop a bit. 4 gms per litre will give you that excellent aroma 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worthog Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Red Ale, just mashed today and will go into the FV tomorrow. This is my first AG Red Ale so I am looking forward to it. My grain schedule is not exactly my prefered combo for Red but somewhat dictated by LHBS supply. To 23 litre 3.8kg Maris Otter 300g Dark Crystal 200g Red-X 200g Caramalt 70g Roasted Malt, all @66c/75min 10g Simcoe@FWH 15g Centennial / 15g Cascade@ 8m 30g Cascade@WP 11g Nottingham rehydrated ABV: 4.7% IBU/EBC 32/31 This brew will be clarified with Polyclar so I can post a photo which could be mistaken for an @Otto Von Blotto product. Results in 5 weeks. Cheers 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help please I have my fermenter 2 with saf us-05 yeast in a Australian pale ale with 25grm citra and 25 grm Galaxy, i pitch the yeast at 19 dec , problem i'm having is it has not started to bubble thru the air Lock ( yes I still us the airlock) my stout started bubbling yesterday that was pitched at 19 dec as well, does the hops make a diffrence in fermantation?? i put them both down about 2pm Saturday.

Popo the Reprobate Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I wouldn't be too worried. Bubbling from the airlock can be unreliable as a sign of fermentation. Are there any other signs of fermentation like krausen or condensation on the lid? Have you checked the gravity with a hydrometer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As popo said check the top of the brew. If you see foam then your sweet. Not surprised the S04 took off quicker either. It will beat US05 in fermentation speed any day of the week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popo the Reprobate Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 That's a good sign. Sometimes you get lots of visible and audible action, other times it can seem like not much is taking place. Check with your hydrometer if you'd like to. It's your only real way of knowing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Remember these three words and you will find brewing a lot less stressful: ignore the airlock. Condensation inside the lid is a good sign. Sometimes a brew won't produce a big krausen, but check the SG anyway. That is the best way to confirm what's going on in there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
