Otto Von Blotto Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) Dry hopped the pale ale just now with random amounts of Amarillo, Citra and Cascade in a large tea strainer ball. All up it's probably about 60g. It'll be cold crashed tomorrow and kegged next Saturday along with the pilsner. This Saturday I have to go over to Hoppy days and pick up an order I put in this morning. I grabbed a sack of Voyager veloria ale malt since it was on special at $72, small amounts of acid and crystal malt and a 25kg bag of sodium percarbonate. I have the first Friday of the next 3 months off to play in the black markers challenge at my home course, so I'll be doing the next brew day on the following Sunday in June which will be another pilsner, and follow that up 2-3 weeks later with probably a red ale. After that brew I'll have to get another sack of pilsner malt, and hops I'd imagine. It's good to have things slowly getting back going properly again, will certainly help the finances!

Kegory Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 003, Mr Beer Bewitched Amber Ale Nothing much to it, can + water + yeast. But 005 will be the Autumn Amber Ale, same recipe plus steeped oats and a dry Hop. Should provide a good basis for comparison. Snug as a couple of bugs in rugs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmar92 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) Hefe Weissbier, see Hefe Weisbier. Krausen collar on as it has Lallemand Munich Classic as the yeast and that is a beast for big Krausen's. Ordinary photo, but anyway it is the fridge for a ferment.

Back Brewing Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 (edited) Just brewd the Abbey Blonde omitting the DME and hops in the boil, used Nottingham yeast at 20c will dry hop with 20g of Amarillo hops on day 4. OG was 1.042 After about 50 minutes activity started in the fermenter, does this seem a bit quick? I sprinkled it in dry.

Red devil 44 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 (edited) West Coast IPA FWK Diluted up to 26L, to lower the ABV. Last time I did this I filled 1x19L keg, and got 7.5L in my other 9L keg, so works out good. Re-harvested US-05.

I notice you have a freezer section on your fridge does it affect the temperature controller or compressor at all? The reason I ask is I have only been looking at full fridges as I read somewhere that you have to disconnect the freezer section to stop it kicking in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question, I must admit the answer is, I don't know. In fact, I wouldn't even know how to do it, interesting thought though, maybe somebody would know. I hadn't thought about it either so it would be good to know if you can disconnect the freezer, I also have a freezer on the bottom of my keg fridge. The next S/H fridge I get will be definitely a fridge only model. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have a fermenting fridge but I do have a lagering fridge. The temperature controller is external, an Inkbird with the probe inside the fridge. The freezer does kick in when the IB switches the fridge on. It's not much of an issue apart from the extra power consumption. That fridge thinks it's a freezer anyway so overall it should be using less power than it was before. I'm using the freezer section to store yeast and hops. Even though it's cycling on and off it's staying below zero. I've got my eyes on a mate's old fridge. It'll be perfect for fermenting in and bottling from. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that the freezer section can be disconnected so it put less strain on the compressor and less power. I will keep looking for a full fridge which will suit my needs better. Because there is no freezer not many people will want them so should be able to pick up a bargain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
