But not only the Brew... it's the smoked products, sausages and the Wurst that is just outstanding... something for us to work towards ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red devil 44 Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 I would love to smoke my meats etc, ( mate of mine works at a meatworks ) I’ve got my hands on some 2nd hand cold room material but my house at the moment doesn’t have the room, looking to buy another property later in the yr and rent our place out, the new place will have room for a decent man cave, games room, my cold room project etc. I make my own cheese currently 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted January 10, 2020 Author Share Posted January 10, 2020 Threw in 30g each of Vic secret and Amarillo, and 20g Centennial dry hop for the pale ale. Took the temp probe off and dropped the controller to zero, so I suppose the beer will probably settle around 1-2 degrees. I'll add biofine on Sunday as well, when I pitch the pilsner in the other FV. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RD has set us up for another rabbit hole?! Red - books - ideas - where to start - I am hoping to get cabinet with Temp and RH sorted for Wurst - is cheese just a temp control thing like beer FV or does it require Humidity control as well?

And mate I am a big supporter of US05... reckon it is the biz for Ales. Good luck with that one and please let us know what the final result is. Cheers. BB Cheers mate! I just got the BrewZilla for xmas and am just using up the last of my extract stocks so very keen to get into the AG! Will let everyone know how it goes when shes done Mitch. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddyBrew2 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 My Zombie Dust IPA clone is almost done. Took a reading and she’s at 1.012. Sample tasted great. All citra. No other hop i got too high efficiency on brew day. I set my efficiency to 67% when inputting the recipe. I came out at 80%. So instead of a 6.9% IPA I’m gonna be bordering closer to eight percent. I’m not too fussed but as long as it doesn’t have that alcoholey taste 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchellScott Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Just checked on the Clone & Wood, looks like the yeast starter and harvest worked as there is a nice healthy krausen and yeast activity Mitch. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddyBrew2 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 It’s strange mate. With my Belgians i come under 70. With my IPA’s I’m high 70s. I’m a very active brewer with the mash. Right or wrong, I am constantly stirring for the full hour. I think my efficiency is bad when I use wheat. Which after googling seems to be a common issue with that grain type 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozlizard Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 NEIPA number 4! Got the temp down to 22 and that's the best I could do (yeah I know, get a fridge!), may the beer gods be with me.... OG was 1.058, so happy days. Will dry hop at day 2 100gms and day 4 100gms. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on the yeast, I would dare say that temp would be nice and could bring some nice esters to the table that might not otherwise show up otherwise at 18c or a lower temp. Either way if it is like your past ones, which looked pretty awesome, I wouldn't worry too much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchBastard Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Just pitched the Kviek into my American Viking pale ale. Pitched at about 28 degrees. Will have a peep in a few hours to see if there is activity. tell ya what...white labs need a new pouch system. I’ve watched many a video where people snip the top off and yeast squirts in any direction but the fv......knowing this and being prepared for it I still copped a bit in the back of the hand. smells like fruit juice. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popo the Reprobate Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I got a voucher for my LHBS at Christmas. I've already got a couple of grain bills ready at home but not much time at present so I grabbed an All Inn NEIPA FWK. It's fermenting away happily in my FV. It's hopped with Azacca, Sabro and El Dorado. I'll dry hop with 50 grams of each. I've not brewed with any of these hops before so quite looking forward to it. It'll also be the first beer to go on tap in my new keg set-up. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popo the Reprobate Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Either did I. An experimental or limited release I think. There were a few new ones there that I haven't seen before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff S Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Put on a coopers recipe Abbey Dubble in the 8.5 craft fv, looked good, smelt good & after the sg at 1050 slurped down the hyd. tube & yummo, can't wait for this one to finish. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I found it a little problematic using their new pouches mainly extracting all of the yeast from it. That said, all 3 different strain pouches I have purchased from White Labs in this most recent format fermented beautifully without fault.

I have a 100gms of Azacca going into my NEIPA (along with Cascade and Citra) so it will be interesting to see what it brings to the party. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
