The Captain!! Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 @Shamus O'Sean guess he calls out bullsh!t. Ha ha however style says 8% -12% Please..... discuss! Ha ha ha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 The original is supposed to be around 8.5%. I would be happy to call that RIS territory. My efficiency was down about 7 points. Probably because it was a big grain bill that pushed the Grainfather to its limits. My brew looks like being around 7%. More of a Foreign Extra Stout. The SG samples taste nice. I'll wear the WIMP badge with pride. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Man Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Partial mash courtesy of @James LaoLao I have a feeling of greatness for this one. For some reason I was so calm and enjoyed everything without stressing out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Man Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 I didn't have dry wheat malt so substituted a bit more Munich in the mash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filled my fermenter to 21 and 1/2 litres. Explains a bit. One eye on footy, the other brewing. Oh well. Should knock some socks off Grand Final day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltop hops Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Brew day done, another Kveik hoppy number. Backed off the ABV and hops a little from my last few brews. All went smoothly other than my brew assistant Bandit decided to eat my thongs! 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzza Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Back on Brew Day - another Ale of sorts.... exactly the same freshly milled Grain Bill as the IPA last week including Voyager Atlas Pale Barley Malt - but will use EKG and Fuggles for hopping.... same yeast US05 - will be interesting to see the difference... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSands Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) Call this one 'experimental'. Trying out MJ's M12 Kveik for the first time in this low-ish ABV, generously hopped, English bitter inspired brew. Recommended temp range for fermentation is 30-40º so I guess I'll aim for somewhere in the middle! 2.8kg GF Ale Malt 300g GF Redback Malt 100g Carafa I 15g Sticklebract @35mins 25g NZ Fuggles @15min 25g NZ Goldings @10min 25g NZ Fuggles @5min 25g NZ Goldings @FO 5g Gypsum M12 Yeast Edited October 5, 2020 by BlackSands 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_G Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Double double day today. An American Pale Ale followed by a Czech Pilsner. Both to be fermented under pressure in 50 litre Kegmenters. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 @MartyG1525230263, I am planning a similar lower ABV Pilsner Urquell clone for this weekend. Not using Vienna though. Plus I have not graduated to liquid yeasts yet. Using W-34/70. We might have to compare results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 200g of Vienna was only there as i did not have enough Pils or Pale and the Vienna was all i had. Don't think it will really have an impact. Usually it is 95% Pils and 5% Carapils. The Urquell 2001 is about gen 7 or 8 that i have harvested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Been crazy busy with work the last couple of months and have not made much beer at all. Public holiday yesterday and I got two partial mash keg fillers down. 4kg pilsener malt mashed at 67c. Boiled for 30 mins with a flameout of 70gm centennial steeped for 10 mins. Cooled down to 40c and dumped half in one fermenter with a real ale can and topped up to 20L. Pitched a 1L starter of imperial kvieking. Temp would have been around 30c I'm guessing. OG of 1046. Its sitting at ambient with a 3 inch krausen. Continued cooling down to 25 and put that in another fermenter with a real ale can and topped up with chilled down water. Pitch temperature of 19c with 2L new world strong and fermenting at 20c with an OG of 1047. Will dry hop with 40gm each of something. Next weekend will smash out another two fillers before I go back to full grain. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The higher FG is probably the dextrines in the honey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris! Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 (edited) I am getting a brew on, an overnight mash to cut the brew day in half. The 5 min addition is at flameout and the hopstands are cube hops at around 78c. I am doing a step mash of 40c 20min, 50c 20 min, 65c 80 min, 76c 540 min for 11 hours before the boil, so wake up before 6:30am. ignore the recipe mash steps. Have not decided on the yeast yet, thinking kveik for the esters or the east coast yeast for the biotransformation. Probably will go with the kveik. Good brewing Norris Edited October 9, 2020 by Norris! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris! Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Brew day went well. Was out there at 7:15am and 90% done cleaning with a cube filled by 8:40am. I am boiling up some water in the Guten to give it a good clean with sodium perc and I will be done. Very smooth and I don't feel tired with the whole day left instead of finishing at 12. I cut the boil short at 45 min, as I had hit my gravity. The samples tasted good, right bitter but good, I don't brew a lot of 45+ IBU brews but I expect fermentation to calm it down some while the big dry hop will bring you in for another drink. It should be juicy so we will see. Good brewing, Norris 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty Corner Brewing Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Brew day yesterday which was a bit all over the shop actually. Did the Captain Responsible recipe from Hoppy Days. Overshot my target efficiency and ended up with a 1.044 OG when I was aiming for 1.038. I usually enter their recipes into Beer Smith and dial it back to suit the 79% efficiency I usually get, but was too lazy and rushed last week. Its supposed to be a mid strength beer, and I suppose it still will be. I added an extra litre of water to the fermenter to drop it back a little, but didn’t want to go too rash for fear of diluting the flavours somewhat. Still looks and smells amazing, and with a Cashmere and Citra dry hop it should top it off nicely. Link to the recipe here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
