BlackSands Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) First sampling of my latest Brit Golden ale featuring HORT9909 hops paired with Southern Cross. Nice enough, certainly drinkable but unremarkable at the same time. Edited September 23, 2021 by BlackSands 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Brewing Co Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I suppose that's not a bad start for the day, went shopping at Coles & the Liquor Land next door had 6 packs of Furphy for $12.00 each instead of $20.00 each so I figure the saving is enough to get down to the LHBS & spend $16.00 towards the next brew. Happy Days. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezzza Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 That AG Stouty Boy that has been in the making in recent weeks... still needs a bit more time on the Nitro BeerGas but is already drinking pretty nicely... probs more Guinnessy than Beamishy this time in terms of general flavour regime... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice looking Stout Graubster, it would pass for a Guinness but then that's what you wanted us to think as it's in a Guinness glass, only joking, however your photo reveals what could be mature hop plants ( if you squint ) or is there something going on at the Ponderosa we don't know about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome job whatever it is Yeah my duvel clone does exactly the same thing. Two different yeasts though. This is WY3787 and the duvel is WY1388. In regards to head retention if you read the books it's proteins and dextrins and hops and staying away from sugars and dextrose etc. And that certainly has some merit but my best head retention beers have no dextrin malt, little hops and heaps of sugar. My duvel clone is 80% pilsener malt and 20% dextrose. They do have high carbonation though which for me in a glass with lots of nucleation points is key and the yeast has something to do with it to as well. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’ll suit BIAB I’ll give it a go Haha Sainter @stquinto it's pretty much whatever's on the go with base malts and specials available at the time... But proportions something like the below can be a basic starting model... adjust the total kg of malt to whatever ABV u r shooting at w your particular Brewery efficiency using whatever malts you normally use... I used Lally London Ale Yeast here... but have used US05 plenty as it is pretty tame and lets the malt do the talking... there are many different configurations... if you use Lally London Ale Yeast it leaves a remnant Maltotriose that can help w body and a bit of mild aley sweetness... not really 'sweet' to me... just nice. Hops - just your 'normal' ale type mild hopping regime... it's the Malt here that should be up and and out in front. Some would suggest Fuggles or EKG... something like 30g @60 and then 30 @ 10 (10 mins remaining) during the hop boil. So you could sub out Carafa III a dark malt for Choc or other dark malt you like... but I would throw in some Roasted Barley. Munich is not essential... just depends what you have in stock at the time ; ) Also sometimes a little smoked malt is not a bad addition but not to overpower it. You don't have to have the Rye and Wheat but Base Malt and then some dark malt/s and probably yes Roasted Barley... Anyway - here is the latest config ; ) % Grain 4 Roasted Barley 7 Carafa III 57 Pale Malt 21 Munich 3 Rye 8 Wheat 100 Total This one of Jamil's might be worth having a look... it's a LME-Grain combo... but useful frame of reference. https://byo.com/recipe/american-stout/ And here is one of @disgruntled Disg's recipes from the past - has been one of my references in my Stout journey... I probs would not use a wheat beer yeast meself... but it really just depends on what you are chasing hey... ; ) HTH Edited September 24, 2021 by Graubart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
