Has an range of 18-20c. I think I fermented it at about 15 then let it free rise to 18 at the end to make sure there was no diacetyl. Turned out pretty good. Ill back off on the bitterness next time. Just a little. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure there’ll be lots of “learning” along the way mate but I’m sure they’ll be every bit as good and better once you get in the groove. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one of the strengths of the yeast and it is considered a true lager yeast. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much tastes like an ale though It is great that you do not get any reaction with this yeast. I have used the MJ54 Californian Lager a few times now. Usually in Aussie Lager type beers. I have been happy with their lager-y flavour and aroma. It seems like it goes well in a New Zealand Pilsner style too. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Result was a very clean, highly attenuated NZ Pils. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't much care for the "lager taste" however, the attenuation is something that is good. Drying out a fair bit. Ill do a commercial style lager soon, with a touch of dextrose and try to get it around the 1.004 mark and about 18-20 ibus. with only a bittering addition of hops. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you start nailing all grain you wont know yourself. There's a noticeable step up. Beer tastes fresher and not so home brewish. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly hope so @Pale ManI can see from all of the videos I have been watching that it really is a basic process as long as you get your volumes & temps right, I am looking forward to trying it.

BlackSands Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) Galaxy Pale Ale. Galaxy hops have always been hard to get hold of here so I was quite excited when I finally, for the first time after all these years actually manged to get my hands on some. It's THE most expensive hop I've ever purchased but for me galaxy is the best hop in the history of the hop universe that I've ever experienced! Just 50g added late to flavour up this beer and I gotta it's just great. Absolutely love it! Edited March 6, 2022 by BlackSands 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty_G Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 @BlackSands that is not far off what some pay here. Cost starts at about $10/100g and then goes up depending on the store. Citra is expensive over here. As a comparison we sell Galaxy for $10/100g or $75/kg and Citra $13.20/100g and $95/kg. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozdevil Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 well my hop slam ipa that i just tapped soon as i got back from tassie As an all grain brewer i dont try mant extract brews and i think this is the only 2nd extract i have done and both extracts was recipes of the month.. what i have found is this one lacks head but i only have had 2 pours from the keg. hope ever i found the bitterness very lacking in this ipa but heck for an extract brew i do like mind you this extract wasnt done with the same ingredients and was a replacement for 1 that went missing and used kveik yeast in this. i managed to squeeze 5.2% out of this then the target of 5.1% not that will make alot of difference kveik yeast was rather neutral in taste the hops was mosaic and sequoia which married up nice together give a nice juicy taste Clarity is not what i was expecting but rather hazy i thought it would clear up nicely but i only gave this 2 days cold crash normally i would do 5-7 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red devil 44 Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Not what I’m drinking but my brother, he’s on holiday in Adelaide and sent me this from the Glenelg Surf Club today. South Coast Pale Ale, he sent it to me to post on the forum so why not I say. @MUZZY@Classic Brewing Co, not sure of any other South Aussies on here, I’m sure there are, apologies. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
