Pezzza Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 So Day Three... Wort III... this time an "Aussie Lager"-ish thing now underway... milled up fresh some Weyermann Acidulated, a bit of Gladdy Wheat, and then in the main is Gladdy Lager Light (sic) that is what they the Kiwi Maltsters call it... and in probably the smallest grain bill I have ever done as some dirty old Dex comes later... a nice typical thin but hopefully refreshing beer that tastes better than Megaswill even tho it is a bit gutless itself Starting from the dirty SS Vessel from Brew II ; ) 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tone boy Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Hey @Itinerant Peasant my good man., lovely job. You have been busy these last few days, well done!! It will be sooooo much better than the mega swilllly stuff I’m sure. And don’t be afraid of the dexy’s midnight runners (dextrose) or even sucrose. It does have its place in Australian brewing. If you want that lighter body and a drier finish you need it I reckon. What hops we got for this one great man?? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved the DMR name for it Yeehaa... dirty old Dex... as Frank or @PB2 once told me years ago when I was starting to bring about some continuous improvement in my KnK... A good Beer Dex does not make haha! Mate I whacked in a few HTs for the 60 and then at FO some Styrian Goldings... I wanted EKG at the finish as had done a pseudo lager beer ages back with EKG similarly that some of the local punters thought was rather lush but had run out... I actually would like to use Cluster one day for an Aussie Thinboy... and I did have some SuperPride in the stores but it was still sealed up... so went with StyrGold and hope it works out ok... all in very low amounts so it is all very benign haha! Nothing anywhere near like the festive 8.2% ABV Black Death with 250+gm of great walloping hoppage from a while back : ) Am keen to try a few more of these Aussie Thinboys and play around with the ingredients to see what we can come up with Edited March 10, 2022 by Itinerant Peasant 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as my fellow Brewer @Aussiekraut Aussie K advises me - be careful young Brewer you might end up with too much body haha! Bit of a bizarre concept that I am still trying to come to grips with ; ) The below Atlas SMASH is probably the closest I have recently come to it... end of last year... but suspect that Brew had way too much body for the Aussie Thinboy Style but at least the ABV was 5.1% so that was not too far off ? All part of an interesting journey for me into the lighter styles 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing Toner, Aussie lagers need a bit of the Dex I reckon, I've done with and without and the Dex Aussie lagers are better for the addition IMHO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had some poor outcomes with my SP adds be interested for sure. No worries mate I posted the recipe above it was a full volume boil with 6.9 grams at 60 min and 12.4 grams at 5 mins. So not very much for 18 ibus. You could probably give it a bit more but I would be cautious as I think it would be harsh if you went over the top. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 My first AG Brew day is getting closer, originally my plan was to set up the laundry but the tap connector with the male hose thingy was too small to fit on the tap, no bigger ones available so Plan B, I discovered by accident there is on old but working power point under the table shown in the first pic, my neighbour is putting in a new outdoor double point for me & Mr BrewZilla can sit on it, to my left is a tap. The 2m hose (not shown) I bought will fit perfectly on the Immersion Chiller when the parts arrive from KL. So I will be just outside the kitchen undercover for my maiden voyage. Also there is a fridge with beer in it close by. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Raspberry Philly Sour Session Ale Based on a recipe from Aussie Brewmakers in Mansfield. Well it is their recipe upped to 27 litres instead of 23 litres. 4.68kg Pale Malt (mostly their Barret Burston and some of my Joe White) 300g Wheat Malt (Joe White, theirs and mine) 200g Medium Crystal Malt (Joe White, theirs and mine) 180g Acid Malt (their Gladfield Sour Grapes and my generic acidulated malt) 170g Quick Cooking Oats (mine, their recipe says Rolled Oats, and I had it but could not be bothered with a cereal mash, so I went with the Quick Oats) 25g Cashmere 30 minute boil 18.5g Cashmere 10 minute boil 18.5g Cashmere 5 minute boil 2 packets Lallemand Philly Sour yeast 4ml Raspberry extract once ferment is complete OG was 1.048 (predicted 1.046) FG predicted 1.012 ABV predicted 4.7% EBC predicted 12 IBU predicted 20 26.8 litres into Coopers FV How accurate are the Coopers volume markings on their FV's? Although 26.8 litres was the volume based on markings, based on my scales there should have been 28.4 litres in the FV. Both my scales and the FV markings could be out. I will have to check this the next time I fill the FV with water. This was another brew where I did a slightly concentrated batch, then added 5.2 litres of water. Took me from 1.060 to 1.048. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Classic, no they were the cheapest I could find. Around $50 at Kogan. Kegland have similar looking scales for about the same price. My BIL is in the weighing industry. I asked him about these scales and he just scoffed. His cheapest scales like these start around $500. But they are commercial grade. I think mine is reasonably accurate. Side by side with some cheap kitchen scales, 4.5kg weighed the same. Mine weighs in 5 gram steps. Go up to 40kg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
