Naughty Corner Brewing Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Nice brew day yesterday. Put down a single hop mosaic blonde ale. Pretty basic recipe. 3.9kg Voyager Compass pale 0.17 kg Gladfield Light Crystal 10g Mosaic 60 mins 20g Mosaic 10 mins 1/2 whirlfloc 10 mins 20g Mosaic 5 mins Dry hop of 40g Mosaic for 3 days. Probably chuck them in about Thursday. Got the base plate without the hole for the mash basket overflow so tried that out and seemed to go alright. I really think my next big purchase will be a grain mill though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised how easy it really was to make ok beer when I started. Making good beer takes some practise but gets there pretty quickly. Lots of help here on the forum for all brewers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then a torque-y power drill to rip through the milling in minutes. I got a Ozito 1050W Spade Handle Drill from Bunnings. Casually rips through the milling and says, if that's all you are going to use me for, we can be friends for a long time. Others use pretty good rechargeable drills, but still find them suffering after only two millings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris! Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Nice looking recipe there @The Captain!! I like the pale and pilsner malt combo, simple but nice. The hop combo has me drooling. I have never done a double batch on my set up but you have pushed me to run a double batch. I can always use the beer and I brew every 2 weeks at least and this could get me to once a month brewing. I have held back because I was new and didn't have any recipes I felt that were ready, now I have 3 ale recipes that I brew pretty consistently so why not. I also like the idea of same brew different cube hops, which allows for other experiments like yeast and such or even the same hop just different temps or whatever. Anyways, the brew looks great. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Brew day and bacon smoking today. Doing a pale ale with Cascade and Vic secret, including about 40g of my home grown Cascade flowers at 5 minutes. The bacon had been curing since two weeks ago, took it out last night and just put it in. Waiting for the FWH steep to finish and the boil will begin. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It mimics what they do in commercial/traditional brewing setups. Usually what happens is they throw the hops into the boiler then fill it up with the wort, which gives the hops time to steep at mash temps or thereabouts for a while before it actually boils. Since I already have all the wort in the boiler, I throw in the hops and steep them for half an hour before bringing it to the boil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s always mistakes but I know what they mean. If there’s any anyone want to recreate best hit me up cause yeah I’m lazy and people would definitely not get the right actual recipe. For instance the wheat in that recipe is not wheat malt. It’s raw wheat. Massive difference to the end result. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to not be a S-A, wheat malt compared to raw wheat: Difference: Raw - more haze? As unmalted, no fermentables?, so better body?, or does the starch get converted in the mash?

It’s a weird beast. That beer will definitely get below 1010. So dry AF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
