wazznotwazz Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Hi there, finally got my temp control and brew fridge semi-organised today with a fresh brew of All in brewery Session Ale. I’ve got the temp control on 18~19 degrees. Does that sound about right? It’s a harvested ale yeast. Can’t remember the name right now, does it matter? Thanks Heaps!

PaddyBrew2 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 18-19 is perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 +1 What @PaddyBrew2 said. Depending on what your ambient temperature is your fridge may not turn on a lot. Do not worry about that though. I found my beer is better fermenting at 18 rather than the 20-22 which was my room temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Gday Wazz, Nice work on ya brew fridge and temp control, like the other lads have said, looks good to me. One thing I would do for your next brews is try to remember/write down in a brew book what ingredients you have used. Including your yeast. There are many forms of ale yeast, some that like cooler temps and others warmer. Some throw esters at slightly warmer temps then 19 that are actually nice in certain styles of beer. Then when you have your beer on the pour, go back to your brew book, and write some tasting notes. Go over what your ingredients were in it and do this over a few brews and before too long you’ll start recognising your better beers, or ones that you prefer and what’s in them. Good luck with the brew Wazz, hope she turns out a ripper for ya. Looking forward to seeing this in the RDWHAHB thread. I’ve heard this one is a good one.

wazznotwazz Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 Thanks guys. It’s brewing along nicely. I usually do keep a good record of ingredients etc in the hand book. Was having a lazy moment yesterday after organising garage all day. This will be the first properly controlled temp brew in years of brewing. Looking forward to the improvement. Cheers Wazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonPolo Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I could put this in a different topic, but while I'm here, I just noticed a interesting 'artifact' on the krausen of the brew I laid down yesterday - see attached pic. It may not be that clear but is is a circle with a defined line, much like a ringworm mark on the skin (sorry for the comparison). Any ideas?

PaddyBrew2 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Just fermentation of the wort. I’ve had Krausen that resembled a lepers skin and the beer was perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonPolo Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 False alarm, sorry. I realised that it was the hop tea bag that I had added according to the Brigalow instructions. Doh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
