Tone boy Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 (edited) Cooler weather so it’s time for a stout.

Red devil 44 Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 I will throw this down this afternoon. My brother is currently in Japan on holidays so has been sending me pics of beers (I will post them on the Todays Tastings thread), so I thought why not, I’ll brew a Japanese Lager. Now it will be in my large fermenting fridge with another Pale Ale so I chose the Novalager Yeast as I will be fermenting at 19 degrees. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiekraut Posted June 1 Share Posted June 1 A Munich Dunkel I pushed out before heading off to a night shift the other day. I never brewed a Dunkel before, so let's see how it goes. Grainbill is Munich, Munich II, Pilsner, CaraPils, Carafa II and Caramunich II. Lots of Munich and Cara Hops are just Hallertauer mf and Tettnang and I'll use Diamond Lager to ferment in the FermZilla @15psi. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am low on pale/ale malt but have lots of munich so its on the cards for me too! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one contains 3kg of Munich and 1.5kg of Pilsner as base malts, so there is wiggle room 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 4 1/2 Lts, which is about right , with the gen 4 you can choose the heat output not the element, I had it set to 84 percent which was a nice boil, just have to bump up the boil off in beersmith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus O'Sean Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 English IPA today. This is about the biggest ABV brew I can do with my process of making 22 litres of concentrated wort plus 8 litres of top up water in the fermenter for a 30 litre batch. Unfortunately, due to my bad assumption about brewhouse efficiency (predicted 73%; actual 66%), it did not turn out as "big" as I hoped. I ended up only adding 5 litres of top-up water for a 27 litre batch at my intended Original Gravity of 1.062. The malt pipe was as full as it can get. To get all the grain in, I used an idea I got off the Flying Wombat YouTube channel. They run 1-2 litres of mash water from under the malt pipe. That makes the top of the grain bed drop in height. Then you can squeeze in a bit more grain. Once the grain is mixed in, you carefully put the run-off mash water back on top of the grain bed. Aiming for 6% ABV; OG 1.062; FG 1.016; 49 IBU; 26 EBC; BU:GU Ratio 0.80 4.8kg Coopers Ale Malt 2.5kg Coopers Pale Malt 400g Acidulated Malt (for pH control) 150g Chocolate Malt 150g Coopers Wheat Malt 150g Crystal Malt 50g Magnum 50 minute boil (41 IBU) 15g Fuggle 20 minute boil (3 IBU) 10g Fuggle 10 minute boil (2 IBU) 15g Fuggle 2 minute boil (2 IBU) 10g Fuggle 20 minute hopstand at 90°C (1 IBU) Fermenting with 2 x Pkt S-04 English Ale yeast at 19°C, will up to 21°C toward end of ferment Starting with 8.15kg of grain and 25.5 litres of mash water Here is where I pumped out 1-2 litres so the grain bed would drop and I could fit it the last of the grain And here is the malt pipe after the last lot of grain was stirred in and the mash water added back Part way through the mash. I restricted the recirculation flow rate or else the flow would sneak out the handle holes at the side of the malt pipe. Hop additions Starting transfer Transferred, topped up with water and yeast pitched 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
