Boot Straps Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) In my haste to laydown my first brew in a while, I used 200g of cara malt instead of Dark Crystal. Any idea what change if any it will make. If anything I think it will be sweeter than it should is my guess, but I'm not sure if that is the case. 1.7kg Thomas Coopers Devil's Half Ruby Porter 1.5kg × Light Dry Malt 200g × Dark Crystal Malt 300g Chocolate Malt 25g Styrian Goldings Hops 11g Lallemand Nottingham Ale Yeast 250g Desiccated Coconut OG 1.056 EBC 52 IBU 45 Edited April 20, 2021 by Boot Straps added extra comment 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiek86 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 @Boot Straps if it was carra instead of dark crystal my assumption would be that the dark would be sweeter as colour grades should be getting sweeter as go up in strength and colour. Only a guess of course I only use light special malts. I'm sure if that's style you like it will still come out good. Boil hops or flavour addition? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red devil 44 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 150 Lashes Clone, 3 hrs after pitching re-harvested yeast, sitting at 20PSI, happy happy. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchBastard Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 Looks the latest kolsch has run its course and is ready to chill. Maybe 2 points shy of the expected FG but I don’t think it’s noticeable. Really keen to get this chilled and carbed. I’ve got the time so will do a slow ramp down, rather than a straight slog to 1.5. I really hope the 6 weeks of conditioning will be noticeable prior to competition. It’s great from the test tube, so I’ve got hopes it will be a pearler by the time it goes to judging. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got a reputation to uphold now, Mitch, as an award winning brewer. Good luck with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malter White Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 This is just the Toucan Dark Lager I put together yesterday. Main reason for posting the photo is to display the krausen. I've never had one get this high before. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stquinto Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) Boiling this as I post: Old Speckled Hen clone (hopefully). As per @Shamus O'Sean suggested, the crysal grain part of the recipe was steeped overnight, now boiling up with the pro rata amount of malt powder and the hops. After cooling overnight I’ll top it up to 23l and pitch some Notty in it. Impressed with the Notty from last week Edited May 2, 2021 by stquinto 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmar92 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I put this brew together on Saturday. T/C's Preacher's Hefe Wheat x 1.7 Cooper's wheat malt extract x 1.5 Rice malt syrup x 0.5 a dash of LDME, 200g. I had some Lallemand Munich Classic yeast that was a month or so out of date so I did a yeast starter and added it. Went off like fireworks, you can see the extent of the krausen remaining on the side of the FV. I haven't checked the SG as yet but it wouldn't surprise me if it is well on the way to it's FG. Amazing fruity and banana aromas in the fermentation fridge! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stickers Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 i would have bottled this yesterday but long story short, a family member is downsizing and i'm going to be the proud recipient of a 2 keg setup and converted fridge on sunday.. so this will be my first ever beer on tap 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmar92 Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I forgot Burbler that your frothover was with Munich Classic! My concern was that the Munich Classic may have been slow to fire, due to it's age, hence the starter. Well @Graubart I didn't need to worry about that, massive action and very quickly. I must keep it in mind in the future with Munich Classic, definitely a case for the collar! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
