There is too much love around here rightful

 

Anyway, I bottled the amber ale inspired by Lusty's Mosaic Amber Ale and, out of the FV, it tasted really, really, really nice. I am looking forward to this one.

 

PS. Chad, this thread does seem to be getting a little slow. Perhaps we should start a new one each year. Brew Day!! Watcha' got, eh! 2015.

It's probably good to follow Ben the Stufu master. kissing

 

I need to replace the infectious 80/- I lost a week or so back. And it's just a coincidence I'm expecting the OG to be similar to B10s new brew - so I imagine they'll be almost identical! bandit

+1 That's a good idea Hairy.

 

Looking at a specific page doesn't lag, but when you post a reply it has to load up ALL the posts from EVERY page in the thread as part of the scroll, & that does lag with all that information/content.

Hi Ben. A typical hop beast of an IPA recipe you have there!

 

Having never used or heard of Azacca hops' date=' I looked for some info on it.

 

Azacca properties: One source describes as "Intense and tropical. Sustained impressions of citrus and very ripe mango, with notes of orchard fruit (pears, apples) and pine needles throughout". Another source describes as "tangerine, grapefruit, pineapple, pear, stone fruit, tropical fruit, light pine, and light spice".

 

Could this be the perfect all-round hop? [img']unsure[/img]

 

Cheers,

 

Lusty.

Nice one, Phil! Way to go big with the water profiling!cool What city's water are you trying to duplicate?

 

I'd be curious to see a picture of your brewing set-up. If you would, on your brew day.

Okay, I get it boys. I guess it's time to move on. I just don't like the fact that the previous two Brew day!! threads have been banished to Siberia along with Wegglannoyed. There's a lot of good info lost forever.

G'day Chad.

 

Geez I'm glad you asked that question, because when I was looking I noticed I posted one of the profiles I used in testing (which was a PA/IPA water target profile). I've changed it now to the proper one, and the recipe is now:

 

Ingredients:

------------

Amt Name Type # %/IBU

60.00 l Scotch Wee Heavy Water 1 -

3.34 g Chalk (Mash 60.0 mins) Water Agent 2 -

3.50 kg Golden Promise (6.0 EBC) Grain 6 26.9 %

I'm not using water profiles for a particular town, instead I got style profiles from the Bru'n Water Spreadsheet (top left corner of the Water Adjustment tab) and aimed for the Dark Malty Profile. I figured the easiest way to do it is to fill an empty FV with all the water I'll need (60 litres), adjust that to the correct concentrations, and then draw all water for brewday from there.

 

I'll certainly take some pics, and I just need to remember to get Brunhilda to show me where she's hidden the camera so I can charge it up!

 

All the best mate, and hope your recovery is now all continuing nicely without any setbacks. Cheers.

 

Edit added: Gotta love the Water Profile Tool!

That's a really low IBU number for that amount of hops and boil time. Must be all that malt you've got in the recipe there.

 

You are absolutely right, OtBlot. I went through my garage rubbish bin and found the empty bottle of Cascade I finished over the weekend: it was rated at 5.5% alpha (or very close). I ordered another 250g yesterday along with lots of other stuff, and the new one is 7.6%. This will add nearly 22 IBUs instead of 15. Thanks for the heads up, mate.
