Hallertauer's yummy :thumb:
any pics coming dude?

 

[leedsbrew]

Aye, had the cam out this morning. I'll get em up this PM :thumb:

 

[leedsbrew]

Well it's all tucked up in the spare room. All went according to the plan/recipe so well happy!

Filth sir?

HLT coming up to temp

Grist + 1tsp gypsum

pH looks ok (ish)

Mash temp bang on. only lost a degree over the hour!

wlp300 starter fermented out. The tube was BBE 27th of Jan but seems to have rermented out ok! :?

My VERY basic fly sparge set up. Geems to be getting me in the mid 90%'s though!

Somewhere in there is my Hertsbrucker!

And that's just a s*%t load of fuggles!

I had 10g of Hertsbrucker left so decided to bung them in at 15 mins!

Clear as a bell coming out of the MT

I didn't take any pics of the boil as I was trying to tidy the garage.

Put some cool wort into the starter to try and wake the beasties up

1.051 @ 20deg to give me 5.0%ABV and 16IBU. BeerAlchemy, what would I do without you!

The irish moss seems to have worked better today. I usually sling it in dry with 15 mins to go but went for 20mins as I have had less than excellent results with it. I forgot to order more protofloc with Paul the other day but will definitely be going back to it next order!

Aerated and yeast pitched. 20L (1L of which is DME starter!)

All in all a wicked brewday and all finished before 13:30hrs Now to watch England thrash the Scotts!

Looks like a great brewday :thumb:

I found some White Labs yeast in the beer fridge thats 18 months out of date - the starters have grown on nicely and smell OK so i'm splitting them tomorrow and will be growing the Burton Ale Yeast on again for a starter for a brew soon.

Great pics :thumb:

Brilliant shot of the clear wort running out of the MT :thumb:

Nice set of photo's this is a beer I want to have a go at, I like a good wheat beer, and Schnieder Weisse was my first foray into wheat beer when I went on a holiday to fulda west germany, in 1998.

You lot make this AG brewing look so easy

Then I read all the technical stuff and get all confused (not hard to confuse me)

But im watching, looking at the brewporn and hopefuly learning. :thumb:

LB is the avatar you on guitar????. If so do you fancy forming a HBF super group and going round gigging at all the BEER festivals

Lovely pics, lovely brew. :clap:
Hope it goes better than the match. The Scots!

Just had a sample out of the FV to take a gravity reading. Down to 1.025 so only 5.% attenuation, I believe the yeast (wlp300) can be expected to get to 74% so still a little way to go, but it's only be going 2 1/2 - 3 days.

taste wise.........WOW definitley the best heffe I've done. The banana hit is so strong, which is good as it's my favourite flavour in a wiesse. I hope it stays. I'll be kegging this one and drinking it very early.

I plan to rack to secondary hopefully on Thursday/friday and get another brewed using the yeast from this one.
