Hairy Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Today I brewed an American Pale Ale with Columbus, Cascade and Amarillo. Then I kegged a beer, which was handy because another keg just blew. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naughty Corner Brewing Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Final FWK in the fermenter at the moment which should be drinkable for Christmas. Ordered a bag of Voyager Atlas on special from Hoppy Days and 5kg each of Munich and Caramunich and going to have a crack at this milling my own caper, and brew a Three C’s Pale Ale after Christmas. Got the sister-in-law and brother-in-law staying for a bit so we’re going to split the costs. Want to have a crack at a Kolsch after that one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitchBastard Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Another good brew day. Sharpening the pencil on this Aussie lager recipe I’ve been mucking around with. Spread out the hopping schedule during the boil to have a 60,30,15 &WP. Rather than a big 60min bad boy. Tinkered with the water profile too. POR @60 & 30 EKG @ 30, 15 and WP Barret burston pale malt 300g dextrose at 15 2ltr starter of saflager189 currently choofing at 16.5 deg. Was 2 points up on SG after temp adjustment. Should come in at 4.7% Abv and will have the arse filtered out of it before kegging 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maurice79 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Last brew day for 2020. As my fermenting freezer is being used for storage of hop flowers (around 2.5kg), I've been ambient fermenting since March. Mid 20's with lows of 9c this weeks means it good for steady 18c. Originally planned to brew an American pale in the style of the panhead supercharger but turned out to be a custom build supercharger/xpa hybrid. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dex is the main adjunct in Aussie lagers that extends brew house efficiency and wort fermentability at the lowest cost . Much like Asian brewers use rice and yanks use corn, we use good old Dex. I only used 3.8kg of grain and got an OG of 1.047. Dex will also help it dry out to the 1.005 mark 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Man Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Third All Grain today. An Ale using Gladfield malts and Amarillo/Cascade hop schedule. First time using my basket for 50 litre pot. Pushed it to the edge with 6 kilo of grain. OG was meant to come in at about 1050. Ended up 1060 for a 24 litre batch. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pale Man Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 4th AG today. No photos i was really focused on hitting my numbers. Which i did. A hybrid ale/wheat beer. 1052 in the FV. Used two packets of Lallemund Abbaye Belgian yeast to see if i lose that sulphur. Not traditional i know but i'm experimenting. Enjoyed today. 5 hours all up including cleaning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt sparge fella, i treated my basket as a brew in a bag no sparge. I didnt use hulls either. ( i did mash out for 15 minutes ) My basket is maxed out at about 6 kilo of grain, and i dial in Brewfather of 4 litres of boil off loss and 5 litres of trub. So i have to up my grain bill for now until i perfect things. But i was quite surprised i hit my numbers. I'm loving Brewfather otherwise i'd have no idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pale Man Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Im sending Cheeky Peak their baskets are not big enough for the kettle. The biggest beer i can make with their basket designed for my kettle is around 6.6 percent in a 50 litre kettle. I want to make some big Dubbles and Stouts for winter. So i'll have to revert back to the bag. Under engineered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
