PhilboBaggins Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 That is the calculated 'no-chill' IBU in Brewmate but I think it is overstated. In a big friggin' way. I moved to a 10 min adjustment a while ago and am thinking of changing it to 5 min soon. [annoyed] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Eh!L Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 Brew Day today![joyful] [cool] [innocent] So, today I put down the Irish Stout I've been pondering. Irish Stout 3.5Kg ESB malt .2Kg Roasted Barley .152Kg Black Pat malt .101Kg Choc malt .05Kg Crystal 80L 30g Fuggles 4.1% FWH 20g Magnum 12.5% 60mins 21L 2l starter W 1084 Irish Ale pitched @ 17.6C Mashed @ 68C for 60mins With this one I blew my mash effiency and ended up with 71% instead of the intended 75%. This gave my an OG of 1.040 instead of 1.044 after collecting 21.5 L of wort in the FV. Oh well! I think I ran my sparge too fast and maybe I should have mashed at a slightly lower temp.[unsure] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilboBaggins Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Looks great Chad, but I hope you like your stout sweet. 68C mash and all that crystal! [w00t] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Eh!L Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 Looks great Chad' date=' but I hope you like your stout [i']sweet[/i]. 68C mash and all that crystal! [w00t] No![annoyed] Do you think this will turn out sweet?[surprised] I didn't think it was too much. I am yusing W 1084 which is a very dry yeast. I am now wondering about the temp though. too warm[pinched] . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 The roasted malt should help counter the sweetness a little so I don't think it will be overly sweet. Perhaps you could have mashed a little lower if you wanted it a little drier. You could always add some dex during the fermentation to bring it up to your planned OG without raising the FG.

PhilboBaggins Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 All 50 grams [unsure] Oops. Yep, I misread that one as 500g. You'll be right Chad. [happy] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben 10 Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Dr Smurto's Golden Ale. Close, but I didn't have any of the stuff. No wheat cans here so light malt instead, no Amarillo so Perle then Cascade for dry hop. Umm, actually nothing like it. Oh well. Sierra Nevada clone a week ago. Black Rocks cider with 2kg sugar and wine yeast is on the go too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Welcome to the forum Ben 10. It may not be Dr Smurto's Golden Ale but it still looks like a nice beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerlust Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Hi guys. I've got quite a few "bits & pieces" that I need to do something with to move them on. The grain cupboard is starting to look like the storeroom for a bakery, & if I don't start to move through some of the hop varieties that have piled up, I'll have to start integrating them into main meals as they are taking up a good space of room in my fridge/freezer! [pinched] [lol] Here's what I came up with for brew day today... Briess Golden LME 1.5kg (Sorry couldn't get Coopers where I was at the time) Light DME 530gms Barret Burston Ale Malt grain 670gms CaraMalt 200gms Aromatic Malt grain 100gms Light Crystal grain 100gms Barret Burston Wheat Malt grain 200gms CaraPils 100gms 6 Litre Hop Boil: Cascade 20gms FWH Mt. Hood 20gms @ 60mins Cluster 15gms @ 15mins Cascade 25gms @ 5mins Falconer's Flight 25gms dry hopped US-05 yeast Brewed to 23 litres OG = approx. 1.047 FG = approx. 1.012 IBU = approx. 32-36 (Estimated due to FWH) EBC = 14.4 Bottled ABV = approx. 5.0% All thoughts welcomed. I'm looking forward to using some new ingredients (for me) in the next few weeks including Munich Malt, CaraMunich, & CaraHell. [joyful] Cheers, Anthony.

Canadian Eh!L Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Hey Lusty, Nice looking brew. I love APA's. I can't speak much about your ingredients, though. There's a lot of them that I have never used. Falcon's Flight![unsure]. What's it like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerlust Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Hi Skookum. There's a bit of a story behind the "Falconer's Flight" hops that can be found here... Origin of Falconer's Flight Hops I did a single hop APA with it back in April, & let's just say it didn't last long! [biggrin] Being that it is an American based product, it's probably easier for you to get hold of Chad, than for us down here in AUS! It seems to be somewhat seasonal, & has limited availability from what I've noticed through the amount of home brew retailers I use. Being a mix of very nice Northwest American hop varieties, I'd certainly recommend giving it a go if you can get your hands on some. [wink] My recipe is actually meant to be a variant on a SNPA. I subbed the Perle for Cluster & dry hopped with the Falconer's Flight. Fingers crossed anyways. [tongue] Cheers, Anthony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 After being reprimanded by Chad I thought I would post a beer I made a few weeks ago. It tastes pretty good out of the FV. It is a smoked IPA: 2.75kg Perle ale malt 2.0kg Weyermann smoked malt 700g Carared 700g medium crystal 35g Target (11.4%) @ 50 minutes 15g Styrian Goldings (3.4%) @ 5 minutes 25g Challenger (8.4%) @ 0 minutes 25g Target @ 0 minutes 20g Challenger - dry hop 20g Target - dry hop No chill Burton Union Ale yeast 23 litres OG - 1.058 FG - 1.015 IBU - 62.7 Hey Hairy, Thanks for the post. Sorry I had to get rough with you![ninja] [biggrin] That looks like a hell of an IPA. Those gravity reading are interesting. 5.8%avb reasonably low. It finished nice and sweet with bitterness in the 60's to balance things out. I'm always a fan of smoked malt to make things rich and complex. 2Kg of smoked malt seems like a ton to me[unsure]. I've maxed out at 500g in any recipe I've created. Maybe more is even better! What's perle Malt? Bottled it today and it tastes [love] Looking forward to tasting it in a few weeks. You should give it a go Chad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I mentioned this in another thread but I thought I would add it to the brew day thread. 15 minutes and it was all done and dusted [cool] 1.7kg Coopers Wheat Beer kit 1.5kg Cooper liquid wheat malt Wyeast 3068 - Weihenstephan Weizen (ferment at 21 degrees) 21 litres I was contemplating throwing mangos (or nectar) in at some stage but decided against it. I quite like a standard hefeweizen and didn't want to stuff up a whole batch. I did buy some mango nectar so if the urge takes hold I can add a slug of it to a glass.

Canadian Eh!L Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 Bottled it today and it tastes [love] Looking forward to tasting it in a few weeks. You should give it a go Chad. Thanks Hairy. I'll keep it in mind! I'd have to make another order for some bits and pieces before I can even think about that one. I think I'll smoke some 2-row today in preperation. I'm lighting up the smoker today to smoke a couple of slabs of bacon so why not, eh!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 So you smoke your own [cool] That might account for the quantities you use. The Weyermann smoked malt isn't the smokiest going around. It isn't like peat smoked malt. Perhaps your malt is very smokey and hence the need to use less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Eh!L Posted October 28, 2013 Author Share Posted October 28, 2013 I've got 250g of 2-row smoking right now over Hickory along with two slabs of bacon! It's been smoking for around an hour or so. I'll keep it going for a couple of hours more i'm sure. So, how knows how smokey it is. I'll tell you about it when I taste it in a brew someday[joyful] !

Hairy Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I'm glad I used the krausen collar and the clips for my wheat beer. The krausen reached the top but it was well contained. Nice design Paul [cool] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 put down a Thomas Coopers IPA kit with 250grm of crystal steeped and added with 30gram of citra for 5 minutes of the boil. Going to dry hop on day 30 with some more citra ( all i got on hand or should i buy some cascade or another C to dry hop with?? )) also put down an " Unreal Ale" using the coopers recipe site. added in 250gm of crystal and also 50 grams of chocolate steeped and on the boil i added in 25 grams of styrian gouldings. both have been pitched with Danstarr Nottingham yeast for a fast ferment on a time poor schedule. both are blooping[roll] away af 4-5hrs from pitching yeast.
