Classic Brewing Co Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Kegging Day for the Miners Stout from Black Rock, I scored 6 x 660ml bottles as well. This has been in the FV at ambient since 4th March & has maintained the 20-22 temp the whole-time using S-04 yeast. All tucked up in the Keg fridge now, I have a little Bootmaker Pale to finish tonight & the IPA will go in the keg & I will raise the temp to 30-40psi for 24 hours & hopefully be drinking both in a few days. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Mick, funnily enough I managed to squeeze a glass out of the keg before it blew last night, it is an excellent Stout, don't get me wrong, I love Coopers Stout, but I got 2 of these a 1/2 price a while ago. I used S-04 in both. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cult Of One Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Doing my first Mangrove Jacks Simcoe IPA and its going like a champ. steady at 21 degrees for fermenting. I pitched it on Saturday and it was 39 degrees outside but cool change hit a few hours after but I think that the initial warmth of the ambient air kick started it well. Best Krausen I have had as per photo. Last kit of theirs I made came up too hoppy so I am going to put in half the hopps in a hop sock for just teh last 2 days tops. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cult Of One Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 supplementary question to all. What's the best way to store hops once I have opened a packet?. Ziplock? Glass jar? Freezer? OR do I just chuck them out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put the rest in a bag preferably vacuum sealed and pop it in the freezer. That way it will stay as fresh as it can be. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cult Of One Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 Hey Brains trust I have a lime tree that seems to make more limes that a normal lime loving family can use each year. Has anyone ever put the juice of limes in a K&K coopers Mexican (corona clone) beer? If so what sort of quantity in a 23 lt mix 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so what sort of quantity in a 23 lt mix Deuce Lager and Lime Milkshake IPA are 2 Coopers brews that use lime juice. Half a cup and 1 Lime worth respectively. Although the Deuce Lager uses the Canadian Blonde can, you could easily use the Mexican Cerveza can instead. I have not made either. But the Deuce sounds nice. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSands Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Last batch got contaminated with some phenol-producing intruder, so another batch went down today: Wakatu Gold. As the name suggests, a golden ale featuring Gladfield malts and Wakatu hops! A 20 litre BIAB effort, and a fresh pack of dry Voss, of which I'm just about to pitch... well actually, just 1/2 packet being a kveik yeast. Should be plenty. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so how are you treating it after the infection? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky Micky Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 (edited) Top shelf is the KL FWK Fresh3 cubed NEIPA base (+200 grams Lactose) fermenting with Verdant Yeast and will be dry hopped with 100grams of Eclipse - 20 litre volume. Bottom shelf is the Coopers Aussie Pale Ale extract with 1.5kg Wheat malt extract and 300 grams of dry light malt - Ferment with Nott yeast - thinking a 40 gram dry hop of Galaxy - volume 24 litres.

I used 60gms of Galaxy in my current IPA & that really gave it the hop presence I was after; I know some don't agree with me but IMO you need at least 50gms of hops to achieve that, I will be repeating my last procedure with just a late infusion 4 days before kegging, I don't bother to boil them, but I have. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
