Just made my ESVA ROTM. 1.062 ... eep!

 

Knocked up mine aswell....although, as it was about 9.30pm by the time I finished it and put it in the brew fridge I forgot to take a SG reading - will go with yours KR, did you use the full 1kg of Dex?

I feel your pain Payno. I was cleaning bottles and kegs last night at about 2030, and didn't finish bottling til about 2130.

 

Bottled a dark (very dark) and hoppy American/English/Imperial IPA (its a bastardisation i don't even know what it is but hey it tasted good out of the fermenter so a few weeks in the bottle and it should be great). FG came out at 1018, OG was 1072. So looking at an ABV of about 7.5% in the bottle.

 

At the same time was able to try some of the Cascarillo Amber Ale (recipe from the coopers store) i bottled on the 28th. Already tasting amazing and looking forward to see how much it improves with a bit of extra time.

Im usually pretty good with bottling as I know how long it takes. But I am guilty of leaving my brews till later in the day - then they get delayed for one reason or another and before you know it, youre a nighttime brewer! .....its one of the reasons I haven't gone all grain yet, at least with Kits and bits you can get a brew together in an hour or so.

IPA sounds interesting - haven't tried many English ones yet, but saw one at Dan Murphys that I would like to try to see if I'd like to brew one.

I Bottled a "Freezer Cleaner APA" earlier yesterday - was just an extract pale ale to use up leftover hops in the freezer. - it has got Pacific Jade, Hallertau, Cascade & Galaxy in it, and dry hopped with some leftover Mosaic...will be interesting to see what its like once its carbed, tasted 'interesting' out of the FV sideways

I measured my ESVA at 1.060 OG using 500g dextrose. Looks like it has hit a FG of 1.011, so that would be a shade under 7% ABV after bottle carbonation.

 

Unfortunately it is going to stay in the fermenter a while longer. I tore some ligaments in my left shoulder at basketball on Monday night, so I won't be carrying my full-size fermenter to my bottling spot for a while. Now I see one advantage of fermenting in a cube - you can carry it easily with one hand if you have to.

If you've brewed a recipe like this before and it's to your taste then go for it, but personally I think a brew with 1kg of maltodextrin would be undrinkable.

 

If you're avoiding gluten, maybe add dextrose as the recipe suggested, maybe 500-750g, then only add about 250g maltodextrin.

Good times ahead. smile

I'm doing another brew day on Saturday since I have a spare day, the first one in about 5 weeks I think after my 3 brews in 3 days last month got the stocks up enough. I'll be brewing another of my Bo Pils since I've restocked on Saaz hops.

 

25L intended batch size, based on 75% brewhouse efficiency. Usual treated water. No chilled and not adjusted.

 

Grains

4.750 kg Bohemian Pilsner (Weyermann) (3.5 EBC) Grain 6 94.7 %

0.160 kg Melanoidin (Weyermann) (59.1 EBC) Grain 7 3.2 %

0.100 kg Acidulated (Weyermann) (4.5 EBC) Grain 8 2.0 %

0.007 kg Black Malt (Thomas Fawcett) (1300.2 EBC) Grain 9 0.1 %

Mashed at 63C for 40 mins, 71C for 30 mins, 78C mash out for 10 mins

 

 

Hops

100.00 g Saaz [1.30 %] - First Wort 90.0 min Hop 10 16.0 IBUs

45.00 g Saaz [3.40 %] - Boil 80.0 min Hop 11 16.9 IBUs

30.00 g Saaz [1.30 %] - Boil 80.0 min Hop 12 4.3 IBUs

100.00 g Saaz [1.30 %] - Boil 15.0 min Hop 13 6.8 IBUs

90 minute boil followed by 20 minute stand

 

Yeast

Wyeast 2001 Urquell lager, pitch and ferment at 10C, raise to 18C on day 5 or 6 depending on SG. This yeast is still going after 18 months of being re-used and still hasn't started throwing any funky flavours yet.

 

The Stats

Est Original Gravity: 1.0473 SG

Est Final Gravity: 1.0090 SG

Estimated Alcohol by Vol: 5.0 %

Bitterness: 44.0 IBUs

Est Color: 9.6 EBC

 

Yes, there are 275g of hops in this beer due to the crazy low AA% of the Saaz. But, I'm not going back to bittering this recipe with something of a higher AA% because the result is not as nice. Hopefully the next order they are a bit higher in AA though.

 

Currently drinking a glass of the previous batch which is now on tap, tasting good!

 

Cheers

 

Kelsey

Hey lusty I also saw that new briess malt extract. What was your go to briess for pale ales before this came out? The golden light?

 

When I use up my last couple of malt cans I am going to do a bulk order of briess malts extracts. I like that there are so many variations to choose from so should be able to get even closer to a particular style.

Hi joolbag. smile

Hey lusty I also saw that new briess malt extract. What was your go to briess for pale ales before this came out? The golden light?

Absolutely. The colour & flavour off that LME is superb (IMHO). Every brew I've used that LME in has turned out terrific for the Pale Ale style that I predominantly brew. Aim for an EBC around 14 using some light crystal malts in conjunction with this LME & tell me it ain't spectacular looking in the glass! cool

When I use up my last couple of malt cans I am going to do a bulk order of briess malts extracts. I like that there are so many variations to choose from so should be able to get even closer to a particular style.

I support Coopers wherever I can as an extract based brewer' date=' but Briess are now the market leader in liquid malt extracts due to producing lines that incorporate predominantly a wider variety of BASE MALT alternatives for extract based brewers.

 

If you like brewing certain styles of beer & have limited equipment, previously you would be very limited in how closely you could reproduce these styles if using malt extract for your base. Briess have taken the gamble & expanded their base malt range in both LME & somewhat in DME. I for one am grateful for this. [img']cool[/img] happy

 

I hope Coopers are monitoring the situation, & are perhaps tempted to produce a similar range. unsure

 

Cheers & good brewing,

 

Lusty.

Helpful as always lusty! I have only used the pilsner extract from Briess, and was rather impressed with it. Am definitely going to try other base malts in their range.

 

Like you I support Coopers, and will still buy extract and other bits from my LHBS and online here. But they cannot compete with the range that Briess have at the moment

Hi all. First time posting on this topic so here we go. I just put down my first all extract brew. Its based on Dr Smurtos golden ale recipe, but i got it from King Ruddagers youtube channel, fast homebrew. Awesome channel, i highly recommend you all check it out if you haven't yet. Anyway, the recipe is as follows,

 

1 Coopers light LME can

1 Coopers wheat LME can

250g caramalt 30 min steep

12g warrior at 60 mins (15.6% AA)

15g amarillo at 15 mins (7.0% AA)

15g amarillo at 5 mins (7.0% AA)

US-05 pitched at 20c fermenting at 18c

23 litres

 

OG - 1.044

FG -1.010 (expected)

IBU - 31 (approx)

ABV - 4.5% (depending on FG)

 

I plan to dry hop with 15 or 20g amarillo 4 days before bottle day. I cant wait to taste this! Thanks your majesty!
