RDWHAHB - What Are You Drinking in 2021?

EXAMPLE - this was my last brew

Coopers Australian Pale Ale 1.7kg

LME - Liquid Malt Extract, Light 1.7gm

Hops - POR  Pride of Ringwood x 25gm ( Infusion )

Safale Yeast US-05

SG 1.046

That would be 4.9% (after bottle priming), Phil.  Assuming it was a standard 23 litre brew, which I am based on your OG of 1.046

@Titans19 there is a difference.  Dextrose is 100% fermentable, so adds to ABV, but adds no flavour.  Maltodextrin is not fermentable, so adds to your Original Gravity, but not your ABV.  It gives beer some extra body due to its residual sweetness.  Light Dry Malt, LDM, is not as fermentable as Dextrose, but adds flavour to a beer and some body, but less than the same amount of Maltodextrin. 

Adding 1kg of the various BE's to say a standard Australian Pale Ale can, brewed to 23 litres gives:

• BE1 - 3.8% ABV
• BE2 - 4.0% ABV
• BE3 - 4.0% ABV
• LDM - 4.2% ABV
• Dextrose - 4.6% ABV

All after bottle-priming.

why soon why not now     

to be honest  i when i returned of a long break , instead of jumping to  all grain
That i should have started at doing a few extract brews and working my way back up to where i was when i decided to long break

I now love reading of the journeys like yours @Red devil 44 and working your way up to All grain  wether its biab or 3v or all in one system....

so welcome to the A.G club soon 

your beer did look very drinkable mate and was licking my chops


 

Cheers mate

Yes yes I can hear you all say WTF it is the same bllllaaardy beer... but this Theaksty-ish Old Ale is luverly and hey it is a different day and a different glass ; )

And the Southerly blew the dribble as I was turning the glass so it went wandering AWOL apologies ...  But it is a beaut drop and sorta texture some clever bar-person could draw a Shamrock in the top   Cheers Brewers One and All

Are you going to have another crack at this recipe, maybe with tweaks to refine it or no need you think?

Hey there Boozer ol' Cobber : )

Mate I am thinking yes - and make it darker - I added the dark grains very late to avoid astringency but think I will make it darker next time and pop them in at the start of the Mash w everything else ; )

I do like the Yeast too for this style of brew but it is a PITA for floccing - the old US05 and Dubbya in comparison are so well behaved.

However, this ESB fella does not ferment out maltotriose so there is a little more body and the brew taste is v good so I think I will persevere haha! 

Could also drop the total grains down a bit as at 7.6% is a fair old scrum forward walloping brew not to be taken lightly 

But Phhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarque it is a laaaaaaaaaaaaaarvely drop Yummmmmmmo!

I had a crack at doing a clone-ish version of this beer a while back.   There was very little info that I could find on the beer but I did see suggestions of using 500g molasses mentioned a few times on various forums.  So I did.  Not sure it was a good idea though....  it was just a bit too overpowering I thought.

Sometimes it’s nice to just have a beer where it feels like your at the pub, which is what this Pilsner is! Simple old fashioned beer really relaxing and tasty especially with some warmer weather coming on So happy with this beer

Here is my IPA. It is a cracker. I am also crackers. But hey, who is counting? Mindblowingly fruity and bitter. I love beer.

I think @Shamus O'Sean mentioned the IBU... doesn't taste any where near as bitter as the beersmiff prediction

 

[kmar92]

@disgruntled it certainly looks good.

Gee you get them to tap quick.  Do you ferment then in the microwave.

Definitely looks great.  I actually misread your recipe and thought all the hops were 60 minute boils.  Hence my curiosity about how it would turn out. 

Maybe the whirlpool additions add something that technically increases the IBU's.  However, we do not perceive these IBU's as we would the equivalent IBU's in a traditional boil.

no pic because i'm a little hazy tonight but cracked open a bottle of a saison that i made in january and damn it's potent. be134 yeast in a kit kilo and partial. good.

@Stickers yeah mate, I'm happy with my own, it's been a cuppla months in the bottle. I'm not sure how many on the trot I would drink cos it creeps up on you. It feels more than the 6.5° in the recipe (if it was a Coopers you made)

@Graubart Graubster mate, that looks mighty fine. Did you run nitro through it ? s I mentioned elsewhere I've just been delivered the stuff for my own extract version of Old Perc so I will be doing a run of it at the weekend. Or I might do my Tim Taylors Landlord first

Hi Seamus..

I remember stumbling across a spreadsheet a while ago where I could input different extracts, sugars, hops etc and it would pump out an approximate ABV, IBU, etc.

Is this what you use? Can you share it? I did a search but couldn't find anything..

Cheers
