I ran out of ingredients, competition

Recommended Posts

I ran out of cubed beer and wort ingredients.

For my next beer I want to make an all grain brew but I have no idea what I want to make.

 

Post a recipe with the following critera:

1. Has to be an all grain recipe including brewing steps

2. You can only choose from the following hops I have in stock: Colombus, Cascade, Saaz, Northern brewer, Willamette, Target

3. Must be standard 20-23L brew

4. Try to make it your own and not just a copy/paste

 

Everything else I will follow to the T as far as my system/expertise will allow.

Ingredients may be substituted with what I can get from Craftbrewer grains

Decision will be made during the coming weekend.

Brew day will be the weekend of the 6th July.

More experienced AG brewers will have a handicap [bandit]

One recipe per person, edited posts will not be considered.

 

Winner should they wish to accept it will receive a stubby of the brewed beer postage paid by myself complete with unique label.(after I have QC'd the brew of course)....If the beer is 5h14 then it was your fault....[lol]

 

Why? Because I thought it would be fun [cool]

Lets wrap this up, given the amount of reply's I guess it was a bad idea, the intention was more to get would be AG brewers to research an AG brew.

 

I will make Bill's recipe but will send you both a bottle, not just from the results of this post but because of your contribution to both this forum and my own knowledge of brewing.

(drop me a pm if you wish one to be sent)

 

Cheers guys

Nah the PMs and Email link on the forum doesn't work.

 

I'd love to try the recipe. It was just something I threw up with the ingredients you gave and I wouldn't mind giving it a go myself actually.

Made this on Monday night to 20L

1.05 OG

2L starter Wyeast 2278 / 2 days @ 10\xb0c. Used the grain wort which is uncharted territory for me but made sence to do it this way whilst waiting for the wort to chill in the cube, comments?

 

Im making a Helles tonight so they can both share the space and temps in my chest freezer 5kg Pils, 500g Munich 125g crystal, 125g Melanoidin

Graham, do you put the cube in the fridge to chill or do you let it cool down slowly at room temp?

 

Also, do you adjust your hop schedule for no-chill?

 

I left the cube to naturally cool overnight then it went in my chest freezer at 10\xb0c

 

My hop additions were:

30g @ 60

25g @ 1

15g in cube

Graham... maybe I should have mentioned but I had already adjusted for no-chill when I did the recipe. That's why I asked above if you chilled or no-chill..... oh well... it should still turn out a great drop. I have been meaning to do this now myself but just haven't had the time as yet. [annoyed]

lol, she'll still be ok mate. Just not as high IBU's and for this type of beer you really don't want it bitter anyway.

 

No fail just a misunderstanding. All will be good I'm sure [biggrin]
