PB2 Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Yes, I thought you deserve a mention in the newsletter considering you sparked the idea for the recipe, thanks [biggrin] Bramling Cross is a very interesting hop.

Robbo Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Further to Martyn's question... ? b) boiling in LDM? What does boiling the hops in malt do? can the same result be achieved by simply boiling the hops in water for 15mins and then adding the LDME later??

PB2 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 You can try it that way Robbo. I suggested boiling in a mini-wort just so there is less bitterness exracted while still producing good flavour/aroma. Also suggested that 200g of crystal malt could be added - the runnings from these grains should be boiled. Ashes Ale Recipe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyn Posted December 4, 2010 Author Share Posted December 4, 2010 Had another taste of this last night (Friday) and it tasted really sweet, not sure if this is due to the recipe or if the cricket influenced my taste buds.[bandit] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty A Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Must say, if it goes by how well the teams are playing the only good flavours that will be in their will be the English ingredients. Lets hope Australia can pick up their game a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 1.7kg Australian Pale Ale beer kit 500g Light Dry Malt 3 x 20g Bramling Cross Hop pellets Bring the Light Dry Malt to the boil in 3 litres of water (use a good size pot, say 8 - 10 litres to prevent boil over as it comes to the boil). Make the 1st hop addition and boil for 15 mins. Take off the heat, make 2nd hop addition and steep for 30mins with the lid on. Strain into the FV and mix with the beer kit. Top up to 20 litres with cold water, stir well. Add yeast - sprinkle the dry Windsor (at least 11g) or stir in Coopers commercial ale yeast Ferment at 18C-20C Third hop addition (dry hop) 3 days into ferment. CraftBrewer online shop supplies Bramling Cross but there may be other suppliers. I think this is great as a mid-strength brew but you could add 250g Dextrose/Sugar if you want it closer to full strength. Hi Paul, I did the ashes ale a few weeks ago (a bit late for the Ashes Tests I know!!) And was just reading your post on the method and realised that I put the ale beer kit in with the LDM and brought it all to the boil and so on... Will this have ruined the brew??

PB2 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Not ruined, just different [biggrin] Boiling hops in a higher density wort reduces the amount of bitterness extracted and, to a lesser extent, flavour/aroma. How did it smell and taste out of the fermenting vessel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weggl Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Martyn, I got that 19 l pot muddy was talking about at BIG W on special just after XMas for under $12, may still be on sale. There were others that were around 10 L which I guess, on special would be around $9. Have a look. Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Waters Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 They are on special quite regularly - even at full price they are quite cheap and they do the job. I tend to use a smaller pot most of the time though as I haven't got a sink big enough to fit my big pot to cool it after the boil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
