ben 10 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Do you find much flavour from a 30 minute addition? I did 20s for a while and stopped since I started no chilling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerlust Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Hi Ben. Do you find much flavour from a 30 minute addition?I did 20s for a while and stopped since I started no chilling. Not as much as you will late boil' date=' but yes you will. Any hop addition I use @ 20+ minutes I consider a bittering addition. As you well know, some hops you get a harsher bitterness from a longer boil. In this case I want some bitterness from the Riwaka addition, but I don't want it overly harsh. At this point in the boil you'll also retain some flavour from the hop, as it won't be completely boiled off like it would @ 60+ minutes. I'm just not certain of the bitterness I'll get from the combined FWH & 60min addition, so I've safeguarded myself by throwing another addition in @ 30mins. I'd rather the beer end up slightly on the bitter side, rather than not bitter enough. [img']wink[/img] Cheers & good luck with the Saison. Anthony.

ben 10 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Cheers. And thanks, I love a good saison, looking forward to attempting to perfect a new world saison. The Bridge Road brewers India Saison is the best beer I have had in a long long time. Superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antiphile Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I'm extremely honoured to have such a tribute. Yet, I would have thought such a name should have been reserved for one that looks good but has very little substance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Eh!L Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 Brewday!!! Today's brew is an Ordinary bitter. It's a PM using the Cooper's E. bitter kit as the base. This brew came about because of a few factors. 1. The temperature of my brewery. -15C 2. The fact that I burned the shit out of my last attempt. Viking beer V.3 3. Scottie's post about sitting on the fence between AG and K&B. I thought I might sit on the fence for a while. Not So ordinary bitter 1.7 kg E. Bitter cam .5 light DME .27 Victory .2 Crystal 60 25 L 10g Styrian Goldings 15 minutes 4.8% 15g willamette 5 minutes 5.2% S-04 Fermented @21c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antiphile Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Whoa. That's a big beer. And a lotta ibu's. Yet it looks as though the big malt backbone should carry it well. As you always do, keep us posted how it turns out. I, for one, will be very interested. Cheers mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben 10 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Slight change. Magnum is now FWH for 90 minutes so I can go out for lunch. IBU now 80 as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben 10 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 23 litres @ 1074. Ouch. I learnt today that the Crown Urn does not like a 90 minute boil at such a high gravity. I had to drain the urn and clean the element. Cube hopping smells insane and makes for minimal kettle losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonny's Brewing Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Ok Guys, Been a bit slack (+busy at work) and haven't posted for a while. Have done 2 brews in the last 4 weeks or so.

Will post recipes if you guys are interested (have them on my home computer) Looking forward to a warm and amber summer Cheers, Tonny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerlust Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Hi Tonny. I for one will be very interested in how both of these brews turn out. I've been wanting to try Rakau for sometime, but haven't got around to ordering any yet. I remember taking an interest in your Lagunita IPA clone recipe back a few months ago, so nice to see you got this one going & into a fermenter. I'll look forward to reading your tasting notes down the track. Cheers, Anthony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeblebrox Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Just put down a modified "Unreal Ale" 1 can Coopers Real Ale 250g Dex, 250g Maltodex, 1kg LDM yeast from the can filled to 23 litres. Pitched at 24c. Currently sitting at 22c. Plan is to let it sit for 2 weeks (longer if needed), then bottle (the usual 2 carb drops per 740ml bottle). The next batch may be my first Wheat beer, but I'll see how the mood takes me when I get the current batch bottled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben 10 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Apple and raspberry cider with SN9 yeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiphile Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Apple and raspberry cider with SN9 yeast. So I thinks to myself' date=' that's odd for B10 not using a specialised saison yeast. Then I looks it up and sees SN9 is very handy and alcohol tolerant to 18% ABV. Query solved! [img']innocent[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben 10 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 hahaha, I once made a 12% cider that dropped the ladies left right and centre. 5% is the go now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnaman Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 G'day Brewers, put a brew on today for the cooler months. English Stout (Sweet) TC Coopers Irish Stout 1.7 Kg Briess Liquid Dark Malt Extract 1.5 Kg LME 200g Choc Malt grain 300g Fuggles hops 25g MJ British Ale yeast & Kit yeast brew at 21°C Based very close to this English Stout, gave the hops a 10 minute boil. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antiphile Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 That, Magnaman, will not only be a lovely brew, but also a very healthy and nutritious breakfast. Very very yummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porschemad911 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Magnaman, your stout should be delicious! I did a similar recipe, using the TC Irish Stout + 1.5kg Coopers Dark LME + 300g choc malt + 200g dark crystal + 25g Fuggles 15min boil. Took a while for the choc malt bitterness to mellow but it's drinking superbly now after 4 months in the bottle. Good luck with the fermentation!

Brownsworthy Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 G'day all, Just put down an Australian Pale Ale can, boiled up 500g LDM in a few litres of water 15g Saaz for 10 min then 15g Citra for another 10 min cooled and add to fv with another 1kg of LDM with Nottingham Yeast. I've got around 25-30g Galaxy I was thinking about dry hopping it with as well. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
