Something different to brew

[meirion658]

I love a witbier. The last one I did was probably my favourite brew to date, although that’s probably because it was the first beer I kegged.

Been drinking a few of these of late, did one last Christmas which I bottled and soon devoured

@An Ankoù Would you be willing to share? Mild is on my mental 'to do' list and I was going to do one of Greg Hughes' recipes, but you've piqued my interest

I'd be happy to here it is. Don't use London ESB yeast it stinks and taints the beer. I made my second batch with S-04 and it's lovely. I'll be using Ringwood in my next brew, because I've got some Ringwood cultured up.

Lovely. Thanks for that. I've got some Wyeast 1469 West Yorkshire in the fridge so I will give that a spin on this I think

I know exactly what you mean. Me too when it comes to American IPAs, but what about nice hoppy English beers. It's a shame you don't like dark beers as I've developed a recipe for an amazing mild that runs out below 4% abv and is full of flavour. I'm looking forward to getting the lager on.

Maybe a pale mild?

My last brew was an English bitter to mix things up a bit and I’m really enjoying it.

I just brewed a bitter on Monday.

It’s moving into winter with cooler temperatures. How about a Belgian blonde.

Only kidding
I’m looking forward to this Kolsch and will let you know How it goes if you are interested

Yes please do where did you get that from?

Dark rock brewing
Not the cheapest but reviews look ok so worth a try

An autumnal red ale?

I like the idea of a Vienna style

Belgian blond or a wit

I'm a recent convert to brewing hefeweissbier, cheap as chips for ingredients, grain to glass in 3 weeks and the closest I've got the the beer I was trying to clone. As long as you can control temperature...

My best kolsch was my first one and a dead simple recipe:

92% Pilsner malt
8% Vienna malt
Mash at 65°c
Aim for around 1.048 OG

Hallertau Mittelfrueh first wort for 25 IBU

Fermented with Wy2565 - Kolsch at 16°c

That's very similar to what I am brewing at the moment, just finished mashing.
87.5% Pilsner Malt
12.5% Pale Wheat Malt
Mash at 65°c

Tettnang and some Hallertau Mittelfrueh for 22.4 IBU. That is to use up the Tettnang and then make up the IBU with the HM

Same yeast as you and planning to ferment at 16°c

I came up with the recipe after reading about Kolsch in Designing Great Beers by Ray Daniels.

Have you tried doing a dunkelweizen? That‘s been my first experiment with wheat beer and it’s gone pleasingly well - I’ll probably try a hefeweizen next :-)

There's too many beers to brew, on my list for this year is a black lager, fruity saisons and Belgian beers
