King Ruddager Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 As per my other thread, I'm kinda stuck in lager mode at the moment. Might finish up with an Oktoberfest and a 15L pilsner, then move back on to the good stuff: Full-sized Galactipa Schooner/Ella Aussie Smash Pale, because I never make enough of these New BrewDog clones (probably "Slot Machine" and "Indie Pale Ale") A non-sucky stout, because my last stout sucked Looks like I have a lot of work to do!

King Ruddager Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 Oh yeah, I also want to try that parti-gyle technique thing too on a golden ale. Does that count as one batch or two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joolbag Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 One mash, two beers. So according to your list Ruddy that would be beer 6 and 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elLachlano Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) Laying out my game plan for the next month or so. A good mix of lager and ale to take advantage of the cooler weather. 1st borough lager @Beerlust's take on an Amber ale clone (just cos I got a Family Secret can for cheap at the supermarket - they had no price tags ) Caribbean Porter Black Pils Of course... the Island Toasted Coconut Porter and last on the list: @ChristinaS1's extract take on @Otto Von Blotto's Red Ale Maybe not in that order but, maybe... Got a plan for an $86 spend in the morning to have all ingredients for this sorted. Gonna be a busy few weeks! Pointers from anyone who's tried these are welcome! Gimme some tips! Especially on hops additions. I've got a few spare packs lying around. Cheers! EDIT: I'm mostly Kits and Bits at this stage Edited June 22, 2018 by elLachlano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the difference in taste? I have 5kg of gladfield Lager light malt I bought on special from Beerco and scratching my head in what to best use it in. I want to make use of the super light colour, so nothing with lots of crystal or other specialty malt additions. Was brainstorming last night, possibly a pilsner, or a Japanese rice Lager or even a cream ale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to make use of the super light colour, so nothing with lots of crystal or other specialty malt additions. Was brainstorming last night, possibly a pilsner, or a Japanese rice Lager or even a cream ale Hi Joolbag. I used 91% Floor Malted Bohemian Pilsner malt from Weyermann. It is my first time using it so I can’t really comment on the taste yet but this is what their description is on a website: Floor malting gives the malt a satisfying, earthy malt flavor and an intense aroma with notes of biscuit and honey. High proportions of floor-malted grain provide a smooth mouth feel. I have never used the Gladfields Light Lager malt either but I think using it for a pilsner or cream ale would be a great idea and using it for 90-100% with low IBU’s well let the malt shine. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts when you use it. Beer Baron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joolbag Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 My mistake, it was @Wobbly74 who brewed using Gladfield Lager Light. Not sure how I associated it with The Beer Baron! his post is here: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porschemad911 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I picked up 4.5kg local raw honey from a colleague's hives today. Time to make a mead! That should give a decent OG in an 11 litre batch, or maybe I'll save some for toast. Cheers, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobbly74 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 The lager light is...well, light. I bought it to brew a rice lager but never got around to it. Worked quite well in pacific ale style beers, where you want little malt presence and a crap load of late hops. Also used it in a couple of summer saisons that were light in gravity and a Pilsner which were all quite good. Appears quite similar to wey premium pils. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joolbag Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Thanks mate. I’m leaning towards a rice lager for something different. I’ll try the cereal mash that is mentioned on this thread: beersnobs seem to Pooh Pooh Japanese rice lagers as megaswill. I’ve always had a soft spot for them, I think the rice lends an interesting flavor, kind of sake like. So I like them and drink them and want to try brewing one. I definitely will, just not sure if it is with this 5kg bag of Gladfield Lager Light or something else. I buy the Gladfield Pilsner malt by the sack and have been pretty happy with it for my lagers. i hadn’t thought about using it in a summer saison! Will consider as well and post whatever I decide to brew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 That floor malted Bohemian Pilsner malt is awesome, I haven't been able to get it for a while but the "normal" Bohemian Pilsner malt is great as well. That said, I don't really brew light lager styles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot to mill the rice on the 2nd or 3rd time i did one and it made zero difference to the mash efficiency. So i dont mill anymore. http://beersmith.com/blog/2013/09/06/cereal-mash-steps-for-all-grain-beer-brewing/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Baron Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 My last list was surprisingly pretty much completed so it’s time to think about what’s next............ 1. Pirate Life IPA clone. 2. Black IPA. 3. Red ale. I want to make it night red like I am drinking blood. 4. Pale ale with Australian hops. 5. Another lager. I have 2 x 19L kegs and 1 x 9.5 keg. The plan is to always have a lager and pale ale/IPA in the big kegs and use the small keg for the experimental beers. Beer Baron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Ruddager Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Wasn't sure what to brew next, so I consulted this thread and apparently big, big stout is the answer! Hmmm ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
