Also how do you like the warrior as a bittering hop. Hey marty. Hope your keeping well mate. Yeah a whole 12.6 IBU. Most wits are between 10 and 15. Its all really about the coriander and orange and the yeast. Wife loves it. I dont mind it as a refreshing drink. Warrior and magnum are my go to for pure bittering hops. I usually use magnum as i can get my hands on it easier but in my opinion they are extremely similar. Warrior is higher AA content so if i had a choice i would go warrior. Nugget is another that i used once but it wasn't as clean as the other two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been toying with the idea of just using a generic type of high AA hop for bittering and warrior was the one that was high on the list. Will have to get some and give a try.

Yeah i find using a generic for bittering suits me for most styles. Some i stick to the classics like pilsener etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris! Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 @Ben 10 Nice looking brew. I use M54 yeast a fair bit, it is clean. Should be a nice Aussie lager. I was going to try to make one of these this past weekend but chickened out and just did a lawnmower ale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchBastard Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 Brew day went well. I’ve been over shooting numbers by a few points which isn’t bad but kind of annoying. After few process jigs I got the numbers bang on. Pre and post boil. I brewed what’s is a German Pilsner at heart, 98% Pilsner malt 2% gladiator, 40 IBU coming from 100g of hallertau mittelfrueh At various stages. Now this is where some of you will call me a scoundrel, a shonkster and a scum bag. . I’m fermenting it with US-05 so it’s a errrr german ale? A faux lager, a Lagle? A fony balony kolsch? what ever it’s beer. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Supposedly my new grain bag will be arriving today, if so I'll be doing a brew day on Saturday. Not sure what yet, will look in the freezer and see what I can come up with from whatever hops are in there. Maybe some kind of red/amber ale. After that I'll have to get some more Saaz so I can get some more pilsners done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSands Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 1 minute ago, Titan said: Yep Ahhh... OK. Nope it's a full 23 litre batch. 36 IBU. It was supposed to be a 5.5%- 6% beer based on recent mash efficiencies (over 80%) but on this occasion it was ridiculously low 50% efficiency... no idea why? MY LHBS actually lost my order in the pre-lockdown rush so I ended up using Weyermann Pale malt instead of the usual Gladfield which they'd run out of. Shouldn't have made any real difference though. Anyway I've ended up with a 4.5% brew which is still within spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
