Brew Day! happy

 

I went back over some notes from a few brews I did around this time last year, & plucked one out. I made a few alterations to it using some of the new ingredients I purchased recently.

 

Briess Golden Light LME 1.5kg

Perle Malt grain 1kg

Aromatic Malt grain 300gms

CaraMunich grain 300gms

CaraHell grain 200gms

Cascade (7.6 AA%) 20gms @ FWH

Warrior (15.1 AA%) 5gms @ 60mins

Riwaka (5.2 AA%) 20gms @ 30mins

Cascade 20gms @ 5mins

Amarillo (8.5 AA%) 20gms @ flameout

Amarillo & Cascade 25gms each dry hopped

Wyeast 1272 (American Ale II) yeast

Brewed to 21 litres

Ferment @ 18°C

OG = 1.049 (expected)

FG = approx. 1.011 - 1.014

 

I'm looking forward to some new flavours from this beer.

Mash is on, so I better get back to it.

 

Cheers,

 

Anthony.

Hi Ben. smile

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.

Had a lot going on today, and 2 little munchkins (3 and 5)to help me out!

Thinking of getting hold of a lightweight blonde this summer.

1.7 Kg can coopers Canadian blonde

500 g Dried wheat malt

150g Carapils (overnight steep)

30g citra @ 5 mins

20g citra flame out ( 30 min steep)

Us 05 pitched @ 20degrees.

Ferment @ 18 degrees

( think I got a little heavy handed with the hops with such a light malt backbone. Should settle with time)

Hope you don't mind Antiphile, drawing inspiration from you!

Cheers again.

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

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.

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.

One is a New Zealand hop Pale Ale using 3 different hops

Rakau

Motueka

Riwaka

Has about 250 gram hops in total

This one is in the bottle and the first one will be tried on the weekend (day 15 after bottling)

ABV is 5.5%

 

The other an IPA based on Lagunitas IPA (US) using

 

Horizon and Summit for Bittering

 

Willemette Cascade and Centenial for Aroma and flavour (30, 1 min and dry hopping)

Has about 300 grams hops in total

 

Used light malt extract and Light crystal for both

In addition also used munich Light malt and caramalt in the IPA

Bottling the IPA tonight

Gravity been stable for a few days now and already tasting and smelling beautiful

ABV 6.8%

 

Used US 05 for both of these.

 

Will post recipes if you guys are interested (have them on my home computer)

 

Looking forward to a warm and amber summer

 

Cheers,

 

Tonny

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. wink

 

Cheers,

 

Anthony.

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.

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!

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
