Norris! Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Brew day went well. Just cubed 23l with a few to spare. I increased the sparge as my gravity was a little high. Cubed the flameout hops at 90c but it dropped temp fast going in. Smelled nice. I have about 30 min of clean up and brew day will be done.

Does it cut out when it gets material caked on it or ? How does that work.... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torrified wheat is a pre-gelatinized unmalted brewers wheat that can be used as a cereal grain/adjunct in the mash, and can replace malted wheat if you desire. Increases body and head retention, as well as adding a very slight toasted flavor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Cob. Yeah had a big trip yesterday... went down the coast to fetch me 70:30 Nitro Beer Mix a mate fetched from the Gasman at Brookie... 7 hours driving... but I went for a swim in the briny surf which is always a massive refresher and caught up with me mate... got home like at 2015 but still light ; ) Am really enjoying my AG Weizen... I had lost a bit of faith as I had been drinking them after Ales... a very bad idea... now been drinking them straight up first and a few together... and they are really very nice. And a cobber down there gave me a Bayreuth Weizen... Maisels... and I reckon mine is in that ball park... big time. Good old AG. Good old DIY Brew site... and with you sure fire legend brewers to help yer gotta be able to go on that journey ok... love it. With the W3068 Weihenstephaner yeast the freshness is just beautiful!

Yeah was a disgracefully long journey but I guess that it is all about Brewing Commitment?!?! And I got me gills wet ; ) Thing was that I had the black beer that needed to be gassed by the nitro mix if I was going to do it... so just copped it sweet and did the hours... phaaaaaaaaaaaarque... But doing a few body bash waves at the Roy made it all possible... And back home again jiggadeejig: Hopefully the Beer will be up to it after all that effort hey?! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't used it in awhile but when I opened the pack and smelled it versus the moutere, there was a stark difference in aroma with the Vic secret being very pungent and fruity. I get a ton of passionfruit, citrus and some pine from Vic secret from the aroma and in the flavour. It is a lot like galaxy but different enough also. It also depends on when you use it. With the high cohumelene, I always spell that wrong, it can give a strong bitterness to the beer and a lot of dank pine to it. I toss it in at flameout and dry hop only, but others have used it in the boil and gotten good results. When I started to notice galaxy in every beer and stopped using it, for a little bit but back into it now, I switched to Vic secret and loved it. I think it is a great hop that provide a a lot of fruity citrusy aromas that I am looking for. If you like galaxy, citra, mosaic and amarillo or hops like that, I say give it a go, you should like it as much as these. Nice little dip and great photos, @Bearded Burbler have a great long holiday. Norris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzza Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Cheers @Norris! thanks mate. Yeah I like Galaxy - I only experienced meself with my own brews - so was never overdosed with commercial stuff... and really like it. And got a great result with it long boil bittering with a SMASH pils... and it was just lovely. Mosaic - Mozzie as I call it - think it is really nice as well. Not done Amarillo. Reckon I just need to get some of the Vic Secret and give it a gallop! Cheers Cob. BB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris! Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I bag on galaxy sometimes, but that is only because I used it all the time for a while and drank a lot of brews with it. It is a great hop, hands down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know why @Beerlust Lusty does not like Magnum? Or maybe Lusty - can you explain? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is because he wants to maximise the hop usage and thinks using magnum to bitter is a missed opportunity to add complexity to the beer through that bittering addition. But I am sure he will explain it better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
