ben 10 Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Damn' date=' that's quicker than the Belle Saison yeast. I might give that yeast a go for a different flavour. Don't like the one I've been using.[/quote'] 36 hours, no rehydration, pitch into fermenter. So far the two Mangrove Jack's yeasts I have used and drunk are winners. I will post back and let you know when I drink it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJ13 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Just pitched the yeast into this bad boy, I loved it the first time around so had to give it another whirl. Plus the Mrs keeps asking for it and its pretty hilarious watching her after a few 7%ers.

I have just bottled a beer using this yeast. It went from 1055 to 1000 but I fermented warmer and let it rise to 28 degrees towards the end.

LeCoq/Rooster Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Just put this one down, again, with revised (ridiculous) Hop schedule. Namesake Aus/Euro Larger 1.3kg Light DME 125g Dextrose 75g JWM Crystal Malt (150EBC) 45min PoR (10%) - 15g/Galaxy (13%) - 5g 30min PoR - 15g 20min Hallertau (4%) - 5g 15min Galaxy - 5g 10min Hallertau - 5g 5min Hallertau - 10g Yeast: S189 @ 12C Not sure whether to dry hop this with some Galaxy.

Beerlust Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Hi Rooster. Not sure whether to dry hop this with some Galaxy. What yeast are you planning to ferment the brew with' date=' & also what temperature do you plan to primary ferment the beer at? If you are planning to ferment the beer at a lower temperature using a lager type yeast, I personally wouldn't bother with the dry hop. If however you plan to ferment it with an ale type yeast that you are aiming to promote hop like aromas/flavours, then due to the fact that your current hop schedule includes no post boil steeping hop amounts, then in this instance I would dry hop with some Galaxy. Cheers & good luck with the brew. [img']wink[/img] Anthony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brew day tomorrow: Lightweight APA: 2.35kg Wey Pils 1.00kg Wey Munich I 0.60kg JW Wheat 0.25kg Wey Caramunich I Mash @ 68-69c aiming for OG 1.040 on the noggin. 90 min boil (because of the pils) 8g Magnum @ 60 (yeah, I finally got some Magnum) 15g Galaxy @ Whirlpool 15g Mosaic @ Whirlpool 15g Pacific Gem @ Whirlpool 5g BrewBrite @ Whirlpool ~31IBU Ferment @ 20-22c with Wy1272 Dry hop with 15g each of Citra, Galaxy & Mosaic Hoping for a FG ~1.015 for full body with low ABV. Apologies for not posting much lately lads (and Christina), work/life balance is less than optimum, and the last thing I'm wanting to do after a day of being in front of a screen is to come home and sit in front of one. Still keen. Love beer. Boobs are great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeCoq/Rooster Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 This one hit the FV yesterday. I forgot to brew it in January. Anyway, all went well. That Bellini machine is excellent.

I've discovered I'm not partial to the Golden Ale. Six Strings Brewery on NSW Central Coast do one i like. I do have a quiet desire to develop a Golden Ale i like.

LeCoq/Rooster Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Feeling like it's LeCoq's weekend in here. Put this one into the 2nd FV this morning : Ben10 & Roo's colab Special U.S. of Pale Bitters 11L ½ (800g) APA tin 200g Amber Malt ½ (500g) BE2 box 10min. Galaxy 15g 5min. Galaxy 20g Dry Hop Cascade 15g Yeast: 6g Nottingham Predicted OG 1043 / Actual OG 1032 Lost about 100g of APA goo and probably should of made it to a 10L batch. I'm using brewers friend to calculate the recipes but I'm pretty sure I'm not using it well. Any ideas on how to up the sugars? I was thinking i could stir 150g of Molasses and 50g of Light DME in 500ml of boiled water and add that to the FV.That would bring up the colour and Fermentables to hit the lower end of ABV for style. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
