stquinto Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Big day in the brewery today a Westmalle Dubbel clone to use up a yeast starter I made a week ago, and an old recipe of the month - Summer Berry Sour The 5 minute screenshot is the time it took me to mill 6.75kg of grain with the machine sent from your neck of the woods, absolutely awesome! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Yesterday's brew day was another batch of the Bent's Poke Cranking Shaft IPA I did a while ago. Requested by my brother-in-law. Upsized the batch to 27 litres to give him a keg, with half a keg for me. I need to review my numbers because my OG keeps coming in too low. This was another brew where I brew a slightly concentrated version and then dilute up to my desired volume with extra water before pitching the yeast. However, in this case, I took a pre-dilution reading for a SG of 1.066. I had two choices: Add 3 litres to get to my desired OG of 1.058 or Add 5 litres to get to my desired volume, but with an OG of 1.053 I went with option 1, so my volume fell a bit short (25 litres) I did a 45 minute boil for this one. The first bittering addition is at 30 minutes. So, I could have followed the recent trend in brewing of boiling for only 30 minutes. Others have spoken about it on this forum. I have done it a couple of times. However, I find that my brew day is rushed and I do not get to clean the malt pipe and a few other things until after the brew is finished. Therefore, it ends up taking me just as long (if not longer) for the sake of adding a bit more water and boiling for a bit longer. The 45 minutes gave me a bit of breathing space to get those jobs done while the boil was underway. ABV 5.6%; OG 1.058; FG 1.015; IBU 35; EBC 14; Boil 45min Batch 27L (actual 25L); FV Top-up 5L (actual 3L) 6.12kg Pale Malt 330g Caramel Hell 290g Caramel Munich 1 27g Simcoe 30 minute boil 47g Centennial; 47g Citra; 47g Ekuanot; 29g Simcoe 15 minute hopstand at 77°C 53g Centennial; 53g Citra; 53g Ekuanot; 44g Simcoe Dry hop Mineral additions to my water to get a "Hoppy" profile US-05 yeast Fermenting in the good old Coopers plazzi fermenter. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezzza Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Talking Malts after being back in the Brewery : ) Have been happy with Euro and Aussie Malts... would use Coopers Malt if I could get it closer (no freight) and reasonably priced... like the Voyager Malts from NSW Riverina.. and Gladdy Malts from NZ are good too and easier to obtain for me currently... Had a bit of a Malt Workshop with BrewDog and was wondering what he thought of the comparison of using Gladfield Wheat in brews for Creamy Mouthfeel, Head and Head Retention -- or whether I should be changing my focus to the newly won bag of Weyermann Carapils. Reaction follows: Wheat Malt? < yeah yeah man we been using wheat for ages meh meh > < Mmm now yer talkin' and this could provide some very interesting opportunities for product development... good man > So after that important input and clarification - looking forward for IP Brewing to try out some Carapils in upcoming Brews.

Pints Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Quick question for the experienced brewers. I noticed the Golden crown lager kit on special at my LHBS. Now being in South Africa, cooper's ain't cheap. I was wondering, could I use an ale yeast and some hops etc and make it into an ale of some type? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now being in South Africa, cooper's ain't cheap. I was wondering, could I use an ale yeast and some hops etc and make it into an ale of some type? You sure could. I would call it a Blonde Ale. If you use a Kolsch yeast, then a Kolsch. Maybe mix with a can of Liquid Wheat Malt and call a wheat yeast for a wheat beer. A lager is a lager because of the yeast you use, not just because they are mostly pilsner malt. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering, could I use an ale yeast and some hops etc and make it into an ale of some type? @PintsMeLocal Pints I can only echo all of the above... the world is your oyster... all I would say is that if you do a Lager then better to brew a bit cooler like 15 deg or below and the yeast in the Can Kit is pretty good. But otherwise - all sorts of opportunities. I will roll out the old favourite - use that GC Kit with a further tin of Liquid Malt maybe Light Liquid Malt and then half a kilo of dry malt or BE.... and then do maybe a late hop... use an Ale yeast... magic Sparkling Ale say with EKG Late or an IPA maybe with a good wallop of Mosaic, Citra, Centennial... resultant brew type depending upon hops and yeast pretty much... and I sorta reckon you canna beat 18 deg for your Ales... but only add the Hops later on once the Hubble n Bubble has subsided (so you don't lose all of your aromas - volatiles - as the CO2 generated during the ferment on leaving tends to 'scrub' the volatiles out with it when things are cranking and your brew room or fridge will smell great but the beer is losing all the tasty aromas). But I am no expert on aligning outcomes with BJCP Guidelines... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
