I am thinking of brewing a golden ale with harlequin hops. New hop I haven't used before. Maybe an Italian pils as well

Just read about them, they sound like an interesting hop I am curious to hear your experience with them.

218 - Citra Wheat
12l batch - 1.050/1.010 - Step Mash 50/66

Everything is prepped, will probably brew this on Monday, Thanks for the idea @Little Rock Brewing! Even though I probably bastardized your recipe. Brewed this up, 1.050 into the fermenter. Tastes great!

Yes I am quoting myself... just took a sample this one it is citrusy goodness and completely done fermenting. No dankness at all from the mosaic. I really like us-05 at 21c. It's much tastier and fastert than at colder temps.

Inverted sugar time, hopefully it will be enough for two batches.

220 - Italian Pils 2
12l batch - 1.048/1.012 - Mash 66c 60min

Brewday! I bought some HBlanc so I will try another italian pils. The fermentation freezer is currently holding my bitter at 10c so this one should be just fine sitting next to it for the next couple of weeks. I am increasing the magnum by 3g or 25%, the previous czech pils is not quite bitter enough. I am also dropping anything later than the 30 min addition as I think the <20min additions are adding too much fruitiness for my tastes.

The ******* braumeister spewed the wort all of the floor what a ******* mess. Thinking about selling this pile of ****. 3rd time it has happened.

221 - Oatmeal Brown Lager?
11l batch - 1.060/1.015 - Mash 66c 60min

Homebrew comp is coming up and its an oats challenge, and since my previous brew failure I have an empty keg to ferment in. So its a brown lager with some inspiration from baltic porter. The hope is to really showcase the malts with this one. My numbers were way off, I think the proximity malt is not very good anymore? I added 250g of invert to supplement.

An online hop seller was having a sale on 2021 leaf hops I saw on the sister site. I paid more for the shipping than for 6lbs. of hops! I have been wanting to try comet and liberty for a while.

I wonder how many more hops you could have ordered before the post cost went up again.

223 - Czech Pils 3
11l batch - 1.046/1.010 - Mash 66c 60min - boil 90 min

3rd attempt with a czech pils using the SMPH model for hop quantities. I settled with 80g for a 90 min boil to get 36ibus. The finished product definitely has more of that characteristic pilsner urquell spicy hop bitterness. Its also half of the reported tinseth model. Hopefully it carries through to the finished product. I also conditioned the grain with too much water. Used 400ml instead of 50 which caused the lower efficiency numbers.

probably at least 4 more, funny enough I was more concerned about space... whole hops take up so much room. Those small bags on the bottom left are 1lb pellet hops and the big ones are the whole leaf.

224 - Italian Pils #3
12l batch - 1.049/1.010 - Mash 66c 60min - boil 60 min

All pils lately hmmm... well next one will be a imperial stout or two for Christmas.

I conditioned the grain again with 100ml of water and that seemed to be the perfect amount. I also ran it through the mill twice to get a better crush. I am also using the SMPH model to get 35 ibus. I tried the czech pils today and 80g still seems a bit off pilsner urquells reported 39 so the model seems very accurate for my brewhouse. Grain pic below.

Gave this one a taste today, had quite a bit of sulfur initially but offgassed some after I poured. Still plenty green but quite good, the bitterness isnt quite where I was shooting more of a German pils level, which might be ok with this one.

What's your brew schedule, I am going on a run of English and Belgian style Beers. I have wlp530 and wlp023 to play with.

I think that sounds about similar, I do want to get a best bitter on tap, so I may steal @Hazelwood Brewery award winner recipe next.

Then I have a homebrew club competition coming up for stouts. I think I will brew a couple up for it the first was going to be a belgian imperial stout with T-58 similar to struise's black albert Black Albert and then another simpler one that I might brew like a baltic porter with lager yeast and vanilla and cacao nibs.

What are you thinking with those yeasts?

 

[samale]

The WLP530 Will be stepped up to brew a single, dubbel, tripel and maybe a quad. The Burton ale yeast will be for a bitter, porter and an English IPA
