Pezzza Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 Been a while since IP Brewing was at work, so since everything is set up am hoping to get a few underway if all goes to plan So -- SHOCK HORROR -- with long overdue advice from all of you sensible Brewers out there... am going to have a crack at a lower ABV Beer... projecting around 3.5% but hopefully full bodied plus some lip-smacking hoppage. Malts: Voyager Veloria + Rye + Wheat + a teeny bit of Choc for colour and Mashing a little warmer Now underway: [All going well might do a "LARGER" tomorrow] 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus O'Sean Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 On 2/14/2022 at 4:51 PM, Shamus O'Sean said: The speed of the ferment is about the fastest I have seen. Running at 18°C. Down to 1.012 24 hours after pitching. I increased the temperature to 20°C because I usually do that when a brew drops below 1.020. Now, 48 hours after pitching it is at 1.007. I will have to re-calibrate my iSpindel, which gave me the above readings. The ferment still went quickly and appears to have flat-lines. However, I just took a hydrometer reading and the brew is at 1.014. Trust your hydrometer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezzza Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) The "Glad to be not-so-large Larger" with a more moderate ABV forecast around 5%, using freshly milled "Gladfield Lager Light" 2 Row Barley Malt and a smidge of Gladdy Wheat (wheat top left corner)... Here's hoping it works out for a nice pale coloured clean refreshing drop : ) Edited February 16, 2022 by Itinerant Peasant 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty_G Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 Going to do something a bit different so brewing up a Kentucky Common. Will be milling it up today and brewing it either Sunday or Monday. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDT2 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Brewed this one finally last weekend haven’t had time to post it so here it is. Been waiting a long time to get super pride hops as they have been in shortage here. Brew day went well and its not far away from fg increased the temp to 18 yesterday. Will wait till it cools down here a bit till I cold crash. Looking forward to this as I haven’t had a Aussie lager for a while. My only mistake was I didn’t add any black malt for colour so will get a can of Emu Export to compare when my dad comes over and next time will add black malt if required. First time using the Diamond yeast will also make a KB lager with the cake. I also mashed with a larger volume than the recipe and had a smaller volume sparge. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be really interested to know how the SP hops went mate, I'm only doing K&k with additions or partials but I've had heaps of trouble with the SP hops and getting the times and temps right...Found no matter how or when I added them really bitter. I had different vaccum packs and all were well within their use by dates.... Beer looks beautiful mate, let us know how it tastes 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks beautiful mate. Are you sure about the assistant title Aussie seems to me like you've been demoted. Looks to me like the foreman/women has taken the Rock star park while overseeing your brewing work. Edited February 20, 2022 by Mickep 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer looks beautiful mate, let us know how it tastes Thanks mate I’ve only bittered the beer to 18ibus which is what emu export is and hence using only 19.3 grams of hops for the whole beer which isn’t much as it has quite a high alpha acid. I would imagine if used on top of a bittered extract you wouldn’t need much. What type of beer were you making as I think it would mainly used for Australian style lagers with a low ibu like emu export which I think it’s perceived bitterness (imo) seems higher but that also could be contributed to its watery megaswill body I am looking forward to it as my dad loves it and it’s a really cheap beer to make if it works out. Not entirely sure it’s the right hop but from what I tasted it’s promising. Edited February 20, 2022 by RDT2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate, yeah Aussie lager styles, I was using POR but found it hard to get at one time and got hold of a whole heap of the SP hops.....I'd have to go over my notes but you may be right possibly adding too much of the bitterness to the Coopers Lager IBU - not sure I do like POR in the Aussie styles 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stquinto Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Bad luck for my latest brew: after all the effort I was rewarded with an OG of 1.030 I suspect I hadn’t done an appropriate mill of the grains, was worried about a stuck sparge… In the end I chucked in 650g of LDM and 100g of Dextrose. Might get lucky but the recipe will be a bit off 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then do a 30 min boil with your partial mash wort and add the Super Pride hops to the boil. That way you can control IBU’s. The lager kit is pretty bitter to start with IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
