Hairy Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 2 minutes ago, The Captain!! said: How did that go today Hairy? all to plan? What was ya gravity in the end? It was easy. Took about 3 litres of first runnings and reduced it on the stove to about a litre and added it back to the boil. A two hour boil tests the patience, though. I haven’t checked the gravity yet, I usually do that when I pitch it, but I’m expecting around 1080. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Starting a long run of lagers tomorrow with a KB lager. This was a bit of a hit at my dads 75th back in late august. For a megaswill clone its pretty darn tasty. Probably the lack of sugar in it. Will be mashed at 65c and fermented at 10c from a 3L starter with a free rise d rest starting probably around day 4 or 5. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty_G Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Brewing my first non pressure ferment yeast driven beer in about 8 months. Just a old school Aussie Sparkling Ale using harvested Coopers Sparkling Ale yeast. Will ferment at a stable 22c so will have to use the fermentation fridge for the 1st time since February. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 months lagering helped a lot with it. The southern German lager yeast promotes malt flavours heavily. In my opinion probably a little too heavily for a clean lager but the punters at my dads party loved it. I'm going to make a couple of batches and lager for the Xmas party. I'm also going to make a schwarzbier with this yeast. I haven't made one in a couple of years but I think this will make a very special schwarzbier. And the good thing about this lager yeast is its done in under a week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergy1987 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Just got my next two grain bills delivered - Gotta love Craftbrewer and their next day delivery. First will be a Dr Smurto Golden Ale - although since discovered this recipe has evolved somewhat so I'm brewing the old one. 3kg Pilsner 1kg Munich I 1kg Wheat Malt 300g Carmunich I 15.5g Magnum @ 60 - 20IBU 52g Amarillo @ Flameout for something like 13 IBU - Since I am no chilling I figured best to put all at flameout rather than some late in the boil Next brew will be a clone of Brewdog's Dead Pony Pale Ale which is a smaller grain bill, but wont be brewing that for a while. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Captain!! Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) Hoppy pale again. Not sure of the name I gave this beer to a few people round for comment and some of the feedback was. This beer is ridiculous. I think this is the best beer I’ve ever had I am obsessed If that was for sale, every time we wanted beer we would buy this every single time. I was a bit stoked with that feedback. Also I did not know these people. I gave to friends to give to there friends so it could be more honest feedback Edited October 30, 2020 by The Captain!! 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why, that brew looks bloody lovely! I am just imaging the aromas and flavours coming through. The double whirlpool, is good stuff, takes some patience but by the feedback it is worth it, you cube hopping that or chilling, guessing cubing from your comments but hey I am like a broken clock only right twice a day, so... I have enough of these hops to brew this and have been tossing up doing the "holy trinity" as James Lao calls it but really want to do a southern tropic, citra and Amarillo next, hmmm, I am going to have a think. When I do heavy flameout and cube additions with a dry hop, I notice that the flavour and aroma really sticks versus a light one and a big dry hop of the same amounts. As the beer ages it just matures into awesomeness and if I keep it for a while becomes a nice balanced beer to the last drop, not that they last to long. What have you noticed around these additions?

Otto Von Blotto Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Finally doing another brew day tomorrow, this one will be a pilsner, just my usual recipe although I may sub in some early magnum if I don't quite have enough saaz, but I'll check the weight in the morning. Should be a good way to spend a likely rainy day 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was confused after reading the recipe. I went through it several times and still didn’t know when to add the wee. I settled on adding it when fermentation has finished.

No. I thought about it but what I go for is intense aroma and flavour and I like the how dry hopping accentuates that. What about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lettucegrove Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 @Norris! I tend to go with heavy flame out and cube, no dry hop. This gives me what I am after. I stopped dry hopping because I felt the aroma expected from this process wasn't really happening for me. I still kinda flirt with the idea of going all out and throwing a tonne in as a dry hop with minimal at flameout just to see how it compares. I probably should, I might be missing out haha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titan Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Not a good day. All went well right up to boil. Never got over 75c. Hop cals are buggered due to this temp. OG 7 points higher than expected wtf. Now hoping this is not going pear shaped in the ferment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiekraut Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Time for another Queensland Sunburn. A little less RedX and a tad more Galaxy for the 60 min addition. Let's see where this takes us. I just can't stop messing with the recipe 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
