Steve - how many fvs do you have on the go at any one time?! I've got room for one, you must have about 10

 

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

Wow! Thats amazing! 6 -8 FV's at anyone time. I'd love that. Having that many FV's on the go must give you liscence to do all kinds of weird and wacky beer experiments - it would me!

If it turns out anything like mine you will have one cracking pint !:smile:

Cracking indeed .

I did an accelerated brew process and took it from boil to carbonate in 12 days :-o

It's got a subtle taste of chocolate. I tried a commercial porter recently and it was too chocolatey for me.

It tastes lovely in it's young state so I'm looking forward to it in a few weeks.

I think my farming mate is going to be pleased.

Here's a possibility.

Reduce the amount of pale malt if you want less than 5.7% ABV.

You could use different hops, but if the alpha% is different you'll need to adjust quantities for bitterness. 45 IBUs is quite bitter but not very bitter. The 84g of Amarillo will make it very hoppy.

Batch Size (L): 19.0
Original Gravity (OG): 1.058
Alcohol by Volume (ABV): 5.70 %
Bitterness (IBU): 45.7

3.800 kg Pale Ale Malt (80.68%)
0.450 kg Wheat Malt (9.55%)
0.400 kg Crystal 60 (8.49%)
0.060 kg Roasted Barley (1.27%)

14.0 g Summit Leaf (17.5% Alpha) @ 60 Minutes (Boil)
28.0 g Amarillo Leaf (8.6% Alpha) @ 20 Minutes (Boil)
28.0 g Amarillo Leaf (8.6% Alpha) @ 0 Minutes (Aroma)
28.0 g Amarillo Leaf (8.6% Alpha) @ 0 Days (Dry Hop)

Safale US-05

Came across the last bottle of this today drinking it as i type OMG probs one of the best beers ive had in a long time

Or an English Pale ale, which I did with Northdown and First Gold and was great. EKG would be a good sub for First Gold:

Batch Size (L): 19.0
Original Gravity (OG): 1.049
Final Gravity (FG): 1.012
Alcohol by Volume (ABV): 4.81 %
Bitterness (IBU): 37.0

3.900 kg Pale Malt (92.11%)
0.340 kg Caramalt (7.89%)

20.0 g Northdown Leaf (8.1% Alpha) @ 60 Minutes
10.0 g East Kent Golding Leaf (6.5% Alpha) @ 20 Minutes
10.0 g Northdown Leaf (8.1% Alpha) @ 20 Minutes
10.0 g East Kent Golding Leaf (6.5% Alpha) @ 10 Minutes
10.0 g Northdown Leaf (8.1% Alpha) @ 10 Minutes
20.0 g East Kent Golding Leaf (6.5% Alpha) @ 0 Minutes (Steep)

5 g Irish Moss @ 15 Minutes (Boil)

This looks like a good session beer ,I shall be borrowing this one!!
Going to pick some grains and hops up for other projects so will include this in the shopping list.
Did you use 04 yeast for this chaps?

 

[stevej]

It was either 04 or 05 i cant remember but at a guess id say 05

[cajsparky]

Cheers Steve,
Will get this one on this week!

 

[clibit]

I used Mauribrew Ale yeast. And First Gold instead of EKG.

If you do brew this please let me no what you think i loved it
Regards Steve

 

[clibit]

I loved it too. Took me by surprise. Bit like the old Boddingtons.

 

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

Both these brews sound good. Frustrating!! Can't make enough at a time.

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

I think that may lead to requiring a new wife too.

I think Bungle needs a secret FV bunker.

 

[cajsparky]

Looks like the Lhbs don't have Northdown ,I won't know for sure until tomorrow.
Any substitutes?
