Productive brewing weekend.

Yesterday bottled latest Saison, this version I used the Omega Lithuanian Farmhouse yeast. Finished at 1.006.
Small dry hop with Wakatu & Celeia. Bottled conditioning to around 3vols

Today brewed another American Pale, hop choice is based on Durations Turtles all the way down. Columbus in the boil, Mosaic and H Blanc Whirlpool & will have H Blanc, Mosaic & Columbus dry hop.
Hit all the numbers so hopefully should be around 5.4%

For the American pale I built up a frozen sample of Kolsch 2, it is strong. We are off and running

This week prepping another build up of Kolsch yeast in preparation for a new style for me brewing this weekend - American Stout . This one I'm planning to hop with Chinook , Idaho 7 & Centennial

 

[dave_77]

Just kegged pale inspired by Turtles (Duration) finished at 1.012 for 5.5% so pretty much spot on to the real thing. Alot of wastage from the dry hop, only managed to get 17.5l in the keg. Tasting a smelling good though

Ahh nice I was going to say in my last post that chinook goes well in a stout/porter. That sounds great!

Cheers..fingers crossed..hoping the Idaho 7 & centennial being high on the survivables list will come through nicely from the whirlpool with a small top up from the dry hop. Do like a bit of citrus spice from Chinook.

Yeah absolutely, it's a lovely hop in a dark beer but funnily enough not used it at all in a light beer yet. Also not used idaho at all, but centennial is always decent.

I love Chinook in West coast IPA and American Ambers

I made a chinook smash with vienna malt. Took a few weeks to come good but a firm favourite now. Chinook is nice.
