Let's hope it turns out ok after all the "lead-up liquid malt hype" hey Pilot?! Ha ha. The young lads I helped do a 7.5% monster brew IPA with their first liquid malt (plus 2kg dry) and Coopers IPA Kit were very happy ha ha ; ) We also had a good wallop of late hop in theirs... anyway... looking forward to seeing how it all turns out.

pilotsh Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) Brew 005: Monday 15th June: 210 hours (8.75 days) since pitch. Brew Temp: 20.0C. steady. SG: 1014.25 (a smidge above 1014) Appearance: Muddy water, no longer cloudy "white". Like beef stock now. Nose: Malt, breakfast cereal, light vegemite, apricot. Palate: Vegemite, stone fruit. (Apricot, peach, nectarine). Comments: Mellowing together like brew Brew 4. SG still dropping, slowly. Brew 4 was bottled at 281/11.7 days, so I'll probably match that for consistency.

Comments: Mellowing together like brew Brew 4. SG appears steady at 1014. Brew 4 was bottled at 281/11.7 days, so I'll probably match that for consistency: bottling Thursday. So far, it looks like the Liquid Malt behaved differently with the SG. Liquid Malt started lower but finished higher! Weaker beer!? 4: 1047-1012 5: 1044-1014 Photo(s): Nil Edited June 16, 2020 by pilotsh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes mate quite likely "weaker" as in lower ABV but NOT "Weaker Beer"... think w 0.4% in bottle is 4.7% vs 5%... I think I suggested a while ago whacking in another kilo of LDME as well as the Liquid Malt ha ha! See far below - that is a snapshot from an XL Spready that has your name on it in my old records from ages ago ; ) It would not surprise me that the Liquid Malt has less fermentables - but because of that - you have body in your beer, head and head retention benefits. But those molecules in the Liq Malt which are less fermentable - those that remain AFTER ferment is complete - make good beer - but mean less carb-sugars being converted to Alc and CO2... so less ABV. But you can crank your ABV with additional LDME in the next one... or even dirty old Dex if you like the beer as it is and just want to increase the ABV tickle... I reckon give Brew005 a chance... and then tune the ABV later with additional dry stuff to get to exactly where you want it...

And, FINALLY some mild nuttiness! Comments: Finally mellowed together like brew Brew 4. SG steady at 1014.

pilotsh Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 Brew 005: Thursday 17th June: 288 hours (12.00 days) from pitching to bottling. Brew Temp: 20.2C. steady. SG: 1014 Appearance: Nice brown with hints of orange. Beef stock. Nose: Malt, porridge, light vegemite, apricot. Palate: Vegemite, stone fruit. Orange Rind. Light nuttiness. Comments: First 5 or so bottles REALLY fizzed up when adding the carbonation drops: never experienced that before. But then the rest of the bottles behaved normally: very weird, not sure why! Final ABV 4.4% (3.9 + 0.5): Strange that the liquid malt behaved differently to the dry malt. BB, it must be your ‘fault’ Experimentation with extra bottles was as normal, primed with Maple Syrup. My SO was keen to try Maggie Beer’s Burnt Fig Jam as a primer: so we did two bottles of that too- interested to see how the flavours transfer in the secondary ferment.
