Hairy Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I hope I get an invite to your wake I am thinking your beer may end up a bit salty after all your sweat that will drip into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilboBaggins Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Wyeast 1968 @ 21-22c Absolutely love this yeast. I always do a forced ferment test with it though. It goes to sleep REAL easily. I wouldn't bother with it if it didn't make the best damn bitters I have ever made. And you should see it floc! If you shake up a pickle jar (full of 1968, not pickles), it'll only be a matter of seconds til it clumps and falls out of suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilboBaggins Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I am thinking your beer may end up a bit salty after all your sweat that will drip into it. Boil volumes have been adjusted accordingly. Only 24c in the brewery at the moment, and I've mashed in already, so fingers crossed I'll be inside before the worst hits.

PhilboBaggins Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 34 degrees in the brewery now, and the boil hasn't even started yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilboBaggins Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 Bam! Just hit 40 in the shed. I reckon I've proven my commitment with this brew day for sure. In 10 mins I'll be draining to cube. Phew, it's hot!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerlust Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Hi guys. I bottled my oaked vanilla Porter earlier today (page 11, post 217 of this thread). Nice vanilla influence over the solid oak presence in among those lovely dark malt flavours. The sample I tasted from the FV was very nice again. The reason I bothered to post, is that I bottled ALL of the brew in longneck bottles this time around. On reading thoughts from other co-forum members, half of the beer I used one carbonation drop, the other half, the usual 2 carb drops that I've always used for longneck bottled beer. I'll be interested to see the difference in this area between to two, come drinking time in 5-6 months time. Cheers, Anthony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Eh!L Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Hey Ben, Your recipe looks good to me. What is your choice of yeast? I just noticed your whirlfloc addition was at 15 mins. I think the products instructions say not to boil more than 10 mins. Just a heads up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben 10 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Hey Ben' date=' Your recipe looks good to me. What is your choice of yeast?[/quote'] WB-06 is all I could get my hands on.

ben 10 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 WB-06??? I've never heard of it. Is it a wheat beer style of an American PA? http://www.fermentis.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/SFBWB06.pdf Safbrew WB-06. American Wheat beers - after a google - use US hops. I am trying to use what I have, and as with anyhting anyone can think of, it has already been done, and a web search will validate this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I think you're right about the Whirlfloc tablets Chad, but for some reason Beersmith, which it looks like that recipe was generated with, always lists it at 15 mins. I only ever did it for somewhere between 8 and 10 mins myself. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattrox Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 English Bitter. 1.7kg Coopers English Bitter 1kg light dry malt. 150g Crystal malt steeped 23 L right now waiting for wort to cool to take OG and pitch rehydrated Windsor yeast. Will dry hop with variety TBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerlust Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Hi Mattrox. Have no fear of using any of the three hops you are contemplating. Fuggles, EKG & Styrian Golding will all go well with the EB kit. I've used each of these hops with the kit, & each brew has turned out very well. Personally I think the Slovenians have been pulling the wool over our eyes to some degree with their Styrian Golding naming as being something unique vs Fuggles. Check the parentage etc. Cheers, Anthony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] Ah Magnaman Straight to the TC IPA, played a part in educating my palette. For the next brew you should consider the Coopers English Bitter with LDM. If I was tasting beer like you do with wine then I'd do the EB first then the IPA. After that you probably ready for PB2's Moteuka Slam IPA Cheers & Beers Scottie Valley Boy Brewing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRISP Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Had some crystal left over from the Amber Wheat I bottled some days ago & LDM lying about plus EKG sooooo..... Canadian Blonde Can 1KG LDM 400G Crystal 15G EKG Started at 1.039 & is now sitting at 1.007. Going to give it another day as I have to clean up bottles etc, but gave it a taste test & is surprisingly good. Fruity ( somewhere between banana & pineapple) with a smokey malt aftertaste if that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't like the one I've been using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
