And it turned out like this.

And the gratuitous hop shot.

I am still dialing in Beersmith. I mashed in the wrong volume so ended up short and topped up to 28L preboil. I should end up with 23L at 6.5% bottled.

 

I used Coopers Commercial Yeast, all Aussie hops and mostly Downunder malt. (We claim all the good NZ stuff as Aussie, don't we)

 

I named it Sunburnt Country IPA.

 

Next time I'm aiming for >7% ABV.

Looks great - I saw this on that other website...

 

 

Changed my gose for a kettle soured pale, 30g of Bitter Gold and 30g of Calypso late...

50/50 pils to wheat, soured over night. Will ferment with MJ's French Saison....

Nice Mattrox, if you've ever tried Hopdog's Redhopulous or Redhopulous Maximus, they also use the Gladfield Shepherd's Delight malt to get a nice red colour (and a touch of roasted barley to darken the shade).

 

Sounds like you followed Gladfield's advice combining it with some Vienna malt too. Hope it turns out a nice beer! I bet it will, I have had nothing but good results with Gladfield malts.

 

Cheers,

 

John

I'll have to keep an eye out for those. I actually have stolen ideas from different red recipes I have seen. But liked Gladfields as a "downunder" malt in spirit with an Aussie version of an IPA.

Hey Brewers!

 

This weekend I am brewing up a tweaked version of a beer that 6 buddies and I (see user GibboQLD) brewed at Bacchus Brewing in Queensland for an amateur brewer's competition earlier this year - our beer scored a respectable 3rd place.

 

The original High Noon is a sessionable New World Pale Ale with the following grist:

40% Maris Otter

40% Vienna

20% Wheat

 

My BIAB version won't be too much different. Just some extra hops and some spec malt to push it towards an XPA.

 

2.2kg Maris Otter

2.2kg Vienna

0.35kg CaraWheat

0.5kg Dry Wheat Malt

6g Pacific Jade @ 60 min

30g Vic Secret @ 10 min

35g Azacca @ 5 min

20g Riwaka - cube hop

40g Riwaka dry hop

Gigayeast Norcal #1 yeast

 

I'll let you know how it goes :)

 

Cheers + beers,

Mark

Terrific hops in that brew, & well used late in the boil etc. In particular the Riwaka. I've beaked off in the past about this hop without too much interest in trying it from other brewers.

 

I haven't spoken about it much in the last 12-18 months as it has been in short supply from NZ. Currently all I can get hold of is flowers. pouty

 

A lot of late hopping with hops that give big flavour & aroma. I'm not surprised it's a winner. wink

 

Let us know how it turns out Mark. cool

 

Cheers,

 

Lusty.

Just put down a dark ale, as per the recipe, which is ...

 

1.7kg Coopers Australian Pale Ale

750g Coopers dark LME

200g sugar (dextrose)

Reactivated Coopers commercial yeast

 

So yeah, fir ... no, wait, second go at reactivating yeast. This one seems more promising but I've got other yeast on hand in case nothing happens

a while back i did a side by side with Smurtos as the recipe

was a kit / extract /PM from memory and used wheat

Both the Notty and the kit yeast both made a bloody tasty beer !

 

seems to be a very good base to mess with now i'm doing AG brew, the ratio is still the same for the bill for my new house beer (cRye Baby XPA )

i dial up the late hops to add extra bitterness and aroma ...tempted to send you a bottle

Just put down a Real Ale, kilo of light powdered malt, saf us 05 for yeasty beasty. Might dry hop with some cascade.

Should be good to go for the festive season along with my hefe thats fermenting. Next up is the Coopers yorkshire square ale. Looking forward to that.

 

Then im going partial mash. Just bought a 20 litre round esky from super cheap auto and a brew in bag, bag on ebay. Plans are a practise mission. Can of Coopers lager with 2 kilos of mashed joe white grains. Lots of nice flame out hops. Im thinking along the lines of German hops. I might even try a good lager yeast with it.
