Beerlust Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Very interesting looking recipe there Ben. Solo FWH addition & some of the Gladfield (NZ) malted grains. I recently crunched some of the toffee malt whilst at my LHBS. Very interesting flavour. It got me thinking about what sort of beer I might use it in. Amber Ale/ESB/Red Ale sprung to mind. I'll be interested in your take on this beer once drinking. Good luck with the brew. Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Not quite a brew day today of course being at work... however I did take an SG sample of my Mosaic Pale Ale. What a fruity aroma! And then I hit it with a 35g dry hop of Mosaic, this time just went commando style since it'll be kegged anyway, after cold crashing of course. It tasted a little bit bitter, however, this seems to be normal for FG samples and they always mellow out by the time it's carbed and ready to drink, and exhibit as expected by then. Looking forward to this one being ready to tap soon! This was the recipe: 4.500 kg Pale Malt, Maris Otter (5.6 EBC) Grain 1 84.9 % 0.500 kg Munich Malt - 10L (23.0 EBC) Grain 2 9.4 % 0.300 kg Caramel/Crystal Malt - 80L (157.6 EBC) Grain 3 5.7 % (Mashed at 66-67C for 90 minutes) 10.00 g Mosaic (11.70 %) - First Wort 75.0 min Hop 4 12.9 IBUs 10.00 g Magnum (12.20 %) - Boil 60.0 min Hop 5 11.7 IBUs 20.00 g Mosaic (11.70 %) - Boil 10.0 min Hop 6 8.2 IBUs 20.00 g Mosaic (11.70 %) - Steep/Whirlpool 15.0 min Hop 7 5.6 IBUs 1.0 pkg Safale American (DCL/Fermentis #US-05) Yeast 8 - Est Original Gravity: 1.048 SG Est Final Gravity: 1.010 SG Estimated Alcohol by Vol: 4.9 % (5.3% in bottles) Bitterness: 38.4 IBUs Est Color: 16.7 EBC Didn't quite hit the OG (1046, not that I care) but the FG if it is the same tomorrow is spot on at 1010/11. Should be about 4.7% in the keg. It will be kegged next Saturday, while I have a friend over for the AFL grand final and a few pilsners off tap, then I'm headed out for my birthday party!

Beerlust Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Hi Kelsey. Yeah I get the same thing from hydrometer samples. Quite bitter, & I rarely take any notice of that aspect TBQH. When I sample them, I'm looking more at things like aromas/flavours & particularly if any off flavours have presented. That should be a very tasty drop indeed once on the pour. I do love Mosaic! Yum!

Xenon Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Currently (thanks to a rostered day off) am approaching the end of mash on my second BIAB. I have basically had another go at Kelseys well publicised Sierra Nevada PA recipe, albeit with some minor changes. My first batch has only been in the bottle a week, but a sneaky taste showed it has lots of the right flavour, but perhaps a little more bitter than expected (yes it will mellow i know but this is all about experimentation after all, isn't it?). So I am dropping the 60 min Magnum add to 15g , the 30 min Perle up to 20g, and the flame out/steep down to 40g. I plan to dry hop the last 30g of cascade as I noticed it was lacking a lot of aroma (which I love). Of course it wont be a "real" SNPA after this, but all I really want is a tasty easy to make APA and this fits the bill nicely. Cheers!

SMASH day today Marris Otter plus Citra' date=' with only a single FWH addition. Simples![/quote']Citra is a very smooth hop even when used as a standard bittering addition due to its lower co-humulone level. FWH'ing generally smooths out a hops normal bittering impact, so in some situations when using a low co-humulone hop for the FWH addition, it can sometimes be advantageous to also use a standard bittering addition in conjunction with it. It's a fairly sizable addition, so hopefully you attain an acceptable bitterness level at the glass. I'll be interested to hear how it turns out. Cheers, Lusty.

Beerlust Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Brewday. Bits & pieces clean-up brew, so something light for Dad. Pilsner malt 500gms Vienna malt 500gms Munich malt 300gms Aromatic malt 100gms Wheat malt 250gms Medium Crystal malt 300gms Centennial 25gms @ 30mins Nelson Sauvin 20gms @ flameout Nelson Sauvin 25gms dry hopped TC kit yeast Brewed to 21 litres. Ferment @ 18°C Other figures unknown. Aiming for 1.029 OG. With my low sparging capabilities though, who knows. If I don't get close to that OG, I'll throw in some LDM to top it up. Not really fussed about it, it'll still end up as beer. Cheers, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerlust Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 I ended up about 3 points shy of the 1.029 OG (roughly as expected), due to my inability to sparge larger volumes, so topped up with 150gms of LDM. A bit of a shame that I had to add it in, as that would have been my first full AG brew. Oh well, why ruin a perfect record of NO full AG brews yet! Cheers, Lusty.

Beeblebrox Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I put my latest batch down on Sunday. 1 can Coopers Australian Pale Ale 1kg LDM Boiled the LDM in approx 5 litres water 15g Amarillo boiled for 20 mins 15g Galaxy boiled for 10 mins. Filled to slightly over 23 litres (about 24 litres). OG 1040. Currently sitting at 22c, a little warmer than I prefer, but should still be ok, & the hops should have a bite more bite if anything for not being down in the usual 18 - 20c range. I keep thinking of doing an extract brew, but it's just too convenient doing kits & bits, so eventually I'll get to it, but maybe not until I've got a good stockpile of brew sitting around, so I can really let it mature, rather than drinking it as soon as it's carbed up, as I've been doing lately.

ICzed Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Hey everyone. I put down two quick brews on the weekend, one for myself & one for my in-laws. My Mother & Father in law have been brewing on and off for a while but they only ever use what is available at the supermarket. So I put a recipe together and showed them a few new tricks. I think they were impressed, they especially liked how their house smelled after our brew day. This was their brew: Mosaic Pale Ale 1.7kg Coopers Pale Ale tin 1kg LDM 250g Caramalt 200g Dextrose 15g Mosaic @ 10 minutes 15g Mosaic steep @ flameout US05 yeasties 23 lt batch And on Saturday I just chucked a fresh wort kit in the fermenter. All Inn Annie Rye IPA Pale 64% Wheat 18% Rye 12% Crystal 6% Mosaic to 70 IBU - OG 1048 after topping up to 20 litres. - Fermenting with Wyeast 1272 American Ale II. - 120g Centennial dry hop for four days when the time comes. Cheers + beers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antiphile Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 How could you, Ben? You heretic! You heathen! You pagan! Doing something to distract you from the TV on a holy day of obligation. I hope the Spanish Inquisition catch up with you. Blasphemer! Ooh! I forgot to mention I was about to do that IPA you corrected for me when I checked and found the citra and simcoe were getting towards 18 months old. Even though they've been kept in the freezer, I was a bit concerned about the freshness regarding late and dry hop additions. Received new supplies on Friday, so next Tue or Wed is brewday now. Thanks, blasphemer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
