BlackSands Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I think I'll be brewing the Siason I was supposed to have brewed last week but instead accidentally brewed what is now an ale with over-cooked US-05 I'll MAKE SURE I use the correct yeast this time!

Titan8 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Nothing big planned. Keg up an English bitter that's been in fermenter for couple weeks. Give Kelsey's Ace of Spades Porter a test after 6 day ferment. And sanitise a couple of FV's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottie Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Kegging my very sessionable IPA, making room in the FV for something that resembles a PLPA. Mine will be lower in ABV but using the same malts and Mosaic and Cascade. Then I'll be back trying to get closer to the Throwback numbers, that is not finishing with such a high gravity.

Morrie Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Brewing an APA, Magnum/Citra/Amarillo and mowing my old aunt's lawn while mashing is in progress. Sunday another APA, Magnum/Citra/Mosiac. Using Maris Otter for the first time so saving what little I have left of Golden Promise for my next Timothy Taylors Landlord knock off.

Titan8 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Well finally got home from my weekly jaunt in Sidney. Had a quick check in the freezer and kelsey's Ace of Spades Porter looks like its done will give it a test tomorrow. Having some of my hopped ipa's. Both dry hoped with mosaic but different quantites. Both very hoppy. I feel they are a little over carbbed for the style however. Still very nice but no head retention.

Titan8 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Ok so the English bitter got kegged. And ran a test on Ace of Spades Porter, sitting at 1.012 and still active so will leave for another week before CC. Tasted fantastic, so much so that I drank the whole test jar. Can't wait to get this on tap. But it will be at least a month before I'm able to do so. My intention is to leave for another week to finish the ferment. Then I will CC to 4deg for another week before kegging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix76 Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Well the thread title asked what I am doing tomorrow. Up here in Qld, and I guess in NSW, the answer would be "trying to stay cool". Well maybe that should read "trying not to get too hot". Honestly, no point trying to put a brew down, too bloody hot. I've got Weissbier in the FV at the moment and I'm struggling to keep it no warmer than 30C. Yeah, I know, bloody terrible, but what can you do. Temp was fairly good for here when I put it down, but, well you know, s**t happens. So just gunna sit in the A/C and forget the rest of the world.

Gag Halfrunt Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Was intending to be at the Southern 80 but got called home on family business. Not too disappointed, been over 40 degrees in Echuca the last couple of days, a way milder 20 odd down here in Geelong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSands Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I think I'll be brewing the Siason I was supposed to have brewed last week but instead accidentally brewed what is now an ale with over-cooked US-05 I'll MAKE SURE I use the correct yeast this time! Well' date=' that didn't happen as planned. Unlike some parts of the world just a few hours flight west, it's actually cooled down here this week, too cool for saison brewing, so I put down another Amber instead. I wanted this Amber to be lighter than the last which was pretty damn dark. Instead it's ended up even darker! [img']pinched[/img] 50g roasted barley for colour adjustment - turns out Gladfield RB is 3 x the EBC of others! I recall when I was a kid my mates older brother was in a band called "Black Amber" - sounds like a good name for this beer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan8 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Cancelled flight out of Sydney again. Second time in 3 weeks. Will be a late start tomorrow but really only have my Kelsey's Ace of Spades Porter to keg up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titan8 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Well it is tomorrow for me. Finally arrived home just now after marathon trip from Sydney. Just had to have a couple of beers to calm the stresses before heading to bed. I kegged up last week one of my favorite coopers kits. English bitter, just a straight can and 1kg LDM. This IMHO is one of the best kits they do. Head retention is spot on, beer has that silky mouth feel and good cling. Will post couple shots of this in the what you drinking thread tomorrow.

Titan8 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 In fact this beer brings back memory's of sitting in an Lincolnshire pub sipping courage directors, John smiths bitter or tetley's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerlust Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 Hi guys. I went & purchased the ingredients for another batch of my Mosaic Amber Ale recipe earlier today. The shift in weather has brought upon a pining for drinking this beer again soon that I just couldn't wait any longer for despite a host of lovely hops in my fridge atm that I wish to play around with. I have the day off work tomorrow & if I rise early enough, will put it together & get it up & fermenting. At worst I'll put it down this coming Sunday on my next day off. It's arguably my best own devised beer. Love it! Cheers & good brewing over the weekend guys, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Plan for tomorrow is to throw some Polyclar into the currently CCing batch of Boh Pils, and that's about it. Probably soak my "foam at the start of a pour" pint glass in sodium perc as well to clean it up. I usually try to drink that excess beer once the foam settles down but half the time I forget about it and it just sits there and goes bad. Nothing a good soak in perc won't fix though.

RobW17 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Cleaning day for me tomorrow after my first ever kegged beer disappeared somehow after only a couple of weeks Oh, and I need to dry hop the two I have fermenting at the moment as well. They'll be done by next week, so if I don't pick up another keg by then I'll have to dust off some bottles again for one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
