I'll add and remove toasted shredded coconut with the dry hops. So on day 4, for 4 days. I didn't want to boil it because of the oils. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple recipe. 3kg pilsener, 1kg woolies white rice. Started with rice in 15L with 100gm of pilsener at 70c. Held for 20 mins then rise to 98c to cook through. Water added to 25L and temp back to 64c. Added the 2.9kg pilsener and mashed for 60 mins. 10gm magnum and a 20gm centennial addition at whirlpool for 10 mins. Unfortunately no starter so cheated and decanted off 2.5L and cooled and added a half pack or M84 bohemian to the starter. Will pitch in the morning with the other half of the pack. Wort was super clear which is nice I am going to have a go at one of these Asian style lagers soon. Just interested in what your boil time was given the pilsner malt used @Greenyinthewestofsydney ? Also how long did you boil your 3 L starter wort for? I think I have been boiling my starter wort a little too long and it darkens up too much. Given this is a lighter coloured beer style I am thinking just enough to sanitise it so hence the question. TIA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I see it all the hop matter will just float out so a moot point using it pretty much. If you clamp the spiders handle up a bit to the edge of the kettle it will not be like going commando with your hop boils and keep any litter floaties in the spider. You could bend the handle to suit if you are always doing the same depth batches but a clamp will allow depth variations so that is probably the best option for you.

Congratulations @stquinto on your first crack at an AG brew. Hope it turns out superb for you come drinking time. Just an observation of your SG sample, it has a lot of hot break in there. What I find is after the boil put the lid on and wait until all the residual convection heat stops stirring it all up in the wort (which occurs until it gets down to about 90 C) Keep the lid on until the wort temp gets down to about the mid 80 C then I give it a whirlpool stir with my spoon and put the lid back on. This causes most of the break matter to drop and move into the middle of your kettle. After several minutes lift the lid off and check to see how clear it is and then transfer to you FV or cube before temp drops too much more. This technique results in a much clearer wort. Other more experienced BIAB brewers may like to add their comments to help you further. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers @iBooz2for the tip, I shall clamp it a bit further up as you said next brew. Still getting the hang of AG, but I am happy with my results so far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickers Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 got up early, started a 5 hour roast beef lunch and did a kit kilo and partial by the time to clock struck noon. 8 hours in and it's rocketing along. i've started using a second packet of kit r007 yeast because i have so many in the fridge and gone back to rehydrating the yeast to get the action kicking off a bit quicker. 5 hour roast beef was a winner, too. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA. I boil for 90 but put the bittering hops in at 60. I was having clarity issues with the rice and somebody here suggested a 90 min boil and it worked wonders. I also used to fast chill these but the last couple I have no chilled and added gelatine to the keg. Clarity has been pretty good but not super clear like the fast chilled ones. The starter was decanted off the main wort which had already been boiled into an already sanitised erlenmeyer. Just got it back to the boil and gave it a couple of mins to make sure it killed everything. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmar92 Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 OK time to fess up, sorry fellow (ex) kits and bits people. I have moved to the dark side and completed my 1st AG attempt today! A modest attempt at a pale ale with some Veloria Schooner, Munich, Caramunich and a dash of Carapils. Bittered with Centennial and some whirlpool additions of Centennial, Cascade and Citra. Went well with a few bumps along the way. I have a cube of AG goodness that will be ready for the fermenter tomorrow. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have a pump though or the electric heating element and assume you are using a basket not a bag. Well done on the first batch of AG it’s amazing to make it from scratch, especially if you enjoy the process. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made a few batches now and not nailed it. And at 6+ months each batch it becomes frustrating when they turn out a bit meh. All have been nice but none great.

I threw a Pacific Ale (all vienna) on Mangrove's Hophead dregs. Not sure if that was a good move as the yeast is packed full of enzymesz but needs must be met. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
