King Ruddager Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Well' date=' the last beer brewed at my current place is fermenting (an amber ale) so let's see what will be on the list for when I upgrade to the new brewery ... 1. Hoppy fruit-salad-esque pale (promoted for simplicity as first brew in new environment) 2. Smashing Pumpkins Ale (it's brew that I adore) 3. Nutty dark ale (what specialty grains will achieve this incidentally?) 4. Oktoberfest (same awesome recipe as last time, but with proper lager yeast!!) Boy oh boy, I sure can't wait to get my hands on another fermenter (or two) for double-brew-days and bulk priming, not to mention a fridge for proper temperature control!![/quote'] Had a change of heart ... 1. Hoppy pale 2. Smashing Pumpkins 3. Oktoberfest 4. Robochoc Porter from recipe section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Eh!L Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Hey King, Congrats on the new brewery. I foresee a 3V system with HERMS in the future for you! That first AG Viking Ale will be awesome I'm sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porschemad911 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Well, I have a nice jar of WLP006 Bedford British yeast in the fridge, so I am thinking of brewing up a fairly simple but hopefully tasty recipe targeting the low end of the ESB style as follows: Grain 2kg Simpsons Golden Promise malt (3.5 EBC) 250g JWM Wheat malt (3.5 EBC) 200g Simpsons Medium Crystal malt (150 EBC) Hops 15g Fuggles @FWH (5.05% AA, 21.7 IBUs) 15g EKG @5mins (5.7% AA, 4.4 IBUs) 15g Styrian Goldings @cube (4.8% AA, 9.4 IBUs) Stats Batch size: 11 litres Efficiency: 70% OG = 1.048 Bitterness = 35.4 IBUs Colour = 18.5 EBC ABV = 5% How does this sound? I'm thinking it might end up something like a TT Landlord's Ale but a little sweeter with the crystal, plus I am adding the wheat malt for head retention. I calculate cube hops as a 60 minute whirlpool / steep in Beersmith hence the high IBU value for the Styrian Goldings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Ordered half a pound of Mosaic hops from Yakima Valley the other day, as well as 2 pounds of Czech Saaz and 1 pound of Magnum. The plan now is to brew a pale ale with the Mosaic hops to try them out, after I do my pilsner recipe. A couple of uncharted territories for me coming up on the next couple of brews.

Otto Von Blotto Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Mmmmmm' date=' Mosaic [img']love[/img] You will love it. I have only heard positive reviews on it from the folks on the forum here who have used it, so I am keen to check out what all the fuss is about. I haven't worked out which way I'll use it yet. I will be bittering the batch with Magnum as usual, and probably throw in a late addition around 10 mins plus a dry hop in the FV. Hopefully this schedule will give a good idea of what it brings to the beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I did a version of Dr Smurto's Golden Ale using Mosaic and it was superb. Very well received by those that tried it. I think it is a great hop in an easy drinking ale like a golden ale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Excellent! Yeah I'll just be doing my standard pale ale malt bill, I've found it's a pretty good base for trying hops out, but it also produces a nice easy drinking beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanman20 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Got an all Cascade full extract pale ale in bottles now. Just put last months ROTM Lightning Strike Summer Ale in the FV today. Next up will either be an IPA or maybe even fruit salad ale (again) as it is just fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 My hops arrived yesterday, which was the approx 900g Czech Saaz, 450g German Magnum, and 225g Mosaic. The AA% on the Saaz was rather exact at 3.03%, which has increased the amount of it in my Pils recipe to 150g. I might be ordering a fair bit more of it given how much I enjoy pilsners... Anyway, I now have a bit of a conundrum. With the weather starting to cool down, I'm more inclined to brew lagers until it warms up again, so I don't have to tie up the brew fridge to carbonate them like I would with ales. My distiller for the water hasn't arrived yet, and I'm planning a brew day next Saturday. I also have a water experiment planned for my pils recipe, involving one batch brewed with untreated tap water and the other brewed with distilled water with minerals replaced to mimic Pilsen water. I also want to try out the Mosaic hops in a pale ale. So I have a choice to either brew this Mosaic pale ale, or brew a pilsner with untreated tap water as the first part of this water experiment. In any case, this batch probably won't go into the FV until about June, as I have the pilsner from last Friday's brew day going in next. I think I might just do the pils after all, and make a start on this water experiment, and save the ales for August/September when it is warming up again. I guess I've solved my own dilemma then Pils, pils and more pils is on the to do list! Cheers Kelsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can do plenty of experimenting with that! I was listening to the latest Basic Brewing Radio podcast on a similar Pils / water experiment last night, will be interesting to see what the results of your experiment are. Will you filter the tap water or use it straight from the tap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Yeah for sure, gotta go to Craftbrewer one day next week and pick up the salts, the urquell yeast and a sack of Bohemian oils malt too. I won't be filtering the tap water no, we don't even own a filter. But yeah should be interesting to see any differences that may occur with different water profiles Edit: That would be Bohemian PILS malt, not OILS malt.

Canadian Eh!L Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Mosaic AA down ... Next up! My take on Timothy Taylor's Landlord. I'm going to split the batch with WLP028 and WLP005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ruddager Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 Well my plans certainly have changed now that I've got an urn, brewing fridge and multiple fermenters on the horizon!! At the same time though I really want (and ought) to do a RoboChoc porter, which doesn't need any of the fancy equipment - how annoying! So previously I had pumpkin ale, oktoberfest and porter on the list, but now I don't even know. Let's see ... 1. Robochoc porter, because I "need" to 1. Oktoberfest, because I can brew lagers in my fridge now 1. Extract based pumpkin ale, as an intro to "urnification" 1. A simple BIAB recipe 1. That mosaic golden ale that someone mentioned earlier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Eh!L Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Get a good book on how to brew All Grain. I recommend John Palmer How to Brew Hard copy. It's an awesome read!. I just bought it recently and it has help me a lot already. P.S. Once you move to all grain brewing, please don't stop posting here on this forum. I hate it when people do that. I will still value your advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
