stquinto Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Brew day with a Westvleteren 12 clone. Third brew with the GF40. The first two were well off with the OG or the volume. This one was much better. I ended up with an OG of 1.080 (recipe said 1.085), and I upped the candi sugar by 200g. Gunna be a long wait mind…. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSands Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Fuggles Bitter This recipe is loosley based on something I saw onlne, a super hoppy English Bitter. I used to enjoy drinking a local craft brew years ago simply called "Fuggles" - I'm hoping this will end up being along the same lines: 20 litre stove top AG: 2.8kg GF Ale Malt 200g GF Dark Crystal 200g GF Wheat Malt 100g GF Biscuit Malt 20g Pacific Jade @30mins 30g Fuggles @10mins 70g Fggles @FO Kveik Voss 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid much more attention to the volumes after each step. Generally more methodical. The brew day was only 4 hours or so, and I had time to go cut the grass and oil the garden furniture. And cook up a chook for dinner Thanks for your words of wisdom mate, all starting to fall into line Edited March 28, 2022 by stquinto Typo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Having another crack at the Modus Operandi Russian Imperial Stout. This time I reduced the Brew House Efficiency. I still used 8kg of grain, which is pretty much the Grainfather's (G30) limit. But the target volume was 20L. I ended up with 21.5 litres at the target OG of 1.082 5.25kg Gladfield Ale Malt 590g Joe White Roasted Barley 390g Gladfield Aurora Malt 390g Gladfield Red Back Malt 390g Gladfield Toffee Malt 390 Flaked Barley 350g Joe White Chocolate Malt 31g Magnum 65 minute boil 10g Columbus 65 minute boil 29g East Kent Goldings 15 minute boil 2 x 7g packets of Nottingham yeast FG predicted 1.021 ABV predicted 8.0% EBC predicted 123 IBU predicted 64 I added water salts to get me from Melbourne Water water to Imperial Stout water. Grain hopper, the night before. I made a carboard hopper extended ages ago. Fits 8kg comfortably. Starting to add grains All grain added. 8kg is pretty much the GF limit. During the mash, the overflow went out the holes in the side of the grain tube instead of the overflow tube. Mash almost underway (66°C) As noted above, overflow is sneaking out the holes at the side of the malt pipe. Almost at mash-out temperature About the start sparge. Coming to the boil. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming to the boil. huge grain bill but like it i might just pinch this recipe and brew it up in the gen4 as it can hold upto 11kg of grain so i have plenty of room but i think if i brewed it in the bz 3.1.1 it will be going close to maxing out the mash tun lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus O'Sean Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Thanks for the feedback @Classic Brewing Co and @ozdevil. Brew day did go very well. Had some interruptions: SWMBO and son came home from night away and Brother-in-law and neice popped around to collect their latest keg. The grammar in my post was a bit average. Note to self: Don't post when over 05. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know how it is I think it will finish a bit lower than 1.021. The last one I did was great, even though it fell short at 6.7% ABV. I am hoping this one will be better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am keen to try to clone a Westvleteren 12. What was your recipe @stquinto? I am having a few problems with trying to source candi syrup D-180, I have found a few other shades but not D-180 so far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only had two 180s and I needed a bit more so I threw in a 240. Black as the Devil’s doorknocker You could mix 99 with 240 perhaps?
