Wayne (Captain Yobbo) Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Cheers mate' date=' must have generated a bit of interest, it's had 225 views in 6 hours [lol'] Hope folks have enjoyed viewing/watching it as much as I enjoyed brewing it. [w00t] I loved it coming up in the next few weeks will be my pictorial of making a stir plate these sorts of things are well received. I love watching people do AG's on youtube just wish I could be there to enjoy the nice aroma's as they always mention. Anyhow Cheers for a great pictorial [happy] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 Im pitching this cube now, decided to use a fresh Dry Yeast with it. Im going with Nottingham as its a quick fermenter and a great floccer.. Will dig this thread up and post tasting notes on it when its carbed and serving.

PhilboBaggins Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Way to go Yob! [cool] [cool] [cool] T'was you and Bill who sparked my interest in AG, and now you've made my BIAB setup seem like Sesame Street. Freakin' amazing thread mate, well done!

Guest Posted December 25, 2012 Author Share Posted December 25, 2012 Pleasure.. The aim, as always is to de-mystify the processes and encourage others to have a bash. Nothing wrong with BIAB either, BIAB brews have been taking out comps for years and are certainly on par with any 3V setup as far as the beer they produce. ...just not as s.e.x.y a setup [lol] Yob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Even Im a little surprised by this..

Canadian Eh!L Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Hey Yob, I've used Notto often with good results. Lately, I was finding that every brew was tasting... Well, like Notto. A bit sour or something. Do you know what I mean? I'm experimenting with W1450 "Denny's Fav.". Have you ever tried it? It's said to be a good all round yeast suitable for a variety of styles. I have my first brew in the FV pitching it. The brew is a AG "Muddy's Full Nelson PA". We'll see! I'd be interested to know what is your favorite yeast and how many different yeasts you use in your brewery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 My favorite yeast ATM is Greenbelt which you cannot gete here.. I was given a jar of slurry about 3-4 months ago and have been keeping it going, I need to be careful as I only have 1 or 2 samples left and will have to bust out the stirplate to get some fresh samples. Following that, US-05, and Notto, I find you really need to let Notto clean up, give it a few days at raised temps after or near FG.. I really only use Notto where Im using big alpha hops as it has a reputation of stripping bitterness/flavour a bit.. the flavour I end up combating with a decent dry hop, but I love the aggressive attitude with it. As Im predominantly an Ale brewer I can get away with only a few strains but am planning to get a few tubes of slants off a mate in the next week or 3 and expanding/experimenting a little bit further. That said I have used Liquid, but usually with a specialty beer, Heather Ale, Biere de Guarde etc. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put it down to using a bag of galaxy flowers that had been opened and resealed, but then I would've expected the flavour/aroma to be lacking, which it definitely isn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewtownClown Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 ...but then I would've expected the flavour/aroma to be lacking' date=' which it definitely isn't[/quote'] Alpha Acids (bittering component) are also lost when hops age, exposed to air, kept at warm temps. Beersmith has a great tool for calculating the AA's based on the maturity of the hops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 So here we are, 9 days from grains to Kegged beer [w00t] I kegged it and forced carbed it this morning and will have a taster tmoz I expect, once it's settled. Its the Keg at the back, taste from the sample I ran off was promising indeed. The carbonation will really bring out the hops though. Overall pretty happy with time and process so just have to confirm taste is a winner. [innocent] [smile] [wink] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Well.. belated it is as I ran out of gas just on kegging this and couldnt really get to it until yesterday to carb it propperly but Ive finally poured myself a glasss (and another sinse starting this post [lol] ) of the Apollo Amarillo IPA brewed. It still needs another week I reckon for the carb to be right and for the hops to really pop but Ive gotta say, im adding Apollo to my regular hop on hand... Im loving it... and the good thing about this one is that you dont need to use loads of them, it's pretty strong but not too bitter, I quite like it as a change from the Magnum I usually go for... Thoughts on the beer are I rekon it'd go right off if only I had a touch of Citra in that recipe late or even a dry hop. Cheers[ninja] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 lucky my brewery name is Slaughter House... coz after an arvo on the Apollo... munted.. sorry.. slaughtered [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hi Yob. I'd be really interested in seeing a breakdown of this IPA recipe of yours. Is it the one that you took a few screenie shots of & posted in a previous thread? I'm warming to the idea of using smaller additions of high alpha hops for my bittering addition for a larger number of future recipes. On the surface, your recipe sounds very appealing, & I for one, not having used Citra or Apollo hops in a brew yet, would really look forward to brewing it, or something very close to it. [cool] When you become un-slaughtered, I hope you'll give us a sniff... [lol] Edit: My apologies on asking for the recipe, I just re-read the thread. [innocent] Anthony.

AdamH1525226084 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Hey Yob. May I ask what size burner you use? Would this 3 ring burner be ok for my 40 L pot? [w00t] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 15, 2013 Author Share Posted January 15, 2013 Its not about the size of your rig, its more of an issue how you pump gas through it[lol] I use a 3 ring but with an upgraded high pressure regulator and easily boils 35lt, (50lt keggle) put it this way, I've never felt the need to upgrade the burner as yet, I find it very economical on the gas and simple to adjust, the hp reg makes things easier though. As with most things brewing, you need to do the numbers and make sure what you buy is right for you and your equipment. ed for mad bad spelling (damn phone and Hop Hog combo) it will easily boil a 40 lt pot, in fact I only normally use the 2 outer rings and still get a mad boil [rightful] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
