Caravan beers for next year

Caravan beers for next year

Certain beers taste better in bottle. Porters, stouts and definitely Saison

 

[samale]

I am completely bored of My scone. Two children of school sick. So I am starting a brew, I don't have enough grain but I will throw something together that will resemble a Saison.

 

[samale]

So this is basically all I had, and it's guesstimate.
2kg Minch malt
400g wheat
200g Cara Munich 2
150g biscuit malt
500g white sugar added with 15 mins left on the boil

15g magnum @ FWH
15g cascade + 15g talus @15mins
40g talus@flameout

Yeast is Saisonstein monster
OG 1.040

 

[samale]

Robust porter
6kg Minch malt
500g chocolate
500g dark crystal
500g brown malt

All brambling cross hops
20g@30mins
20g@10mins
20g@flameout

OG 1.070
Yeast west Yorkshire ale yeast

Kegged this today. It finished at 1.020, tastes really good. Hopefully I can keep this for the winter month's. I am considering buying more kegs. So I can rotate beers, I was thinking about bottling beer again. The bottle's have been in the garage gathering dust the last 2 or 3 years. So would require a major clean

I haven't brewed in ages so I got a delivery last week of grain. I don't have any dry yeast so I did a mini mash to get some wort for a starter. 1 kg Minch malt in 2 litres of water. My yeast out of the fridge is a bit lively, this is Yorkshire 1469

I see you've used some WHC yeasts in the past, what did you make of them?

So I haven't brewed since the start of July. Picked up yeast today and hops from the malt miller to try. The plan is a Saison, bitter and IPA. Just checked my grain, hopefully I will get brewing next week

How did this come out?

Sorry Dave I haven't been on the ball. This has been sitting at 3 degrees for weeks in the all rounder. Just poured a glass to try, it's nice but the yeast gives slightly too much bubble gum for me. Nice but maybe not true to style. I will transfer it to the keg tomorrow

 

[samale]

If Santa is looking a pint I need to get the finger out. One more brew planned with English hops. I have first gold, challenger and EKG to use up

 

[samale]

I was meant to run a 10k race this morning but because of the poor weather it was cancelled. So I eventually got My English pale ale on, inspired by @pilgrimhudd recipe. Hops are first gold and challenger

 

[samale]

English pale ale

4.5 kg Minch malt
250g Cara amber
120g Aromatic malt
80g dark crystal

10 challenger@60mins
25g first gold@20mins
25g first gold@10mins

Undecided on a 50g hopstand or do a keg hop. It's leaf hops

Cml Atlantic

 

[samale]

Was a bit worried about the colour being too dark. It is what it is, I could rename it as a bitter

 

[Donegal john]

Or a sherry

 

[samale]

The youngest is under the weather so I am stuck at home. So I have a brew on the go, I wanted to try out the new hop Pacific sunrise. I am pairing it with Chinook in a pale ale

 

[samale]

This is My wine for Christmas, I have other wine for visitors. This stuff is just for Me
