What are you drinking tonight 2020.

[Banbeer]

At least one more, maybe more than one?

Yeah I might go for it as I love getting up at 3 in the morning to p1ss

Wysh....I like your bottle opener.. have thought about picking a few up..

Yes it's my favourite bottle opener. It makes every beer taste better.

Just checked my records. 16 days. This lockdown is killing me!

I brew a new batch most weekends because I like to share with family, friends, neighbours - only when I look around now there’s no one else here and I’m still brewing most weekends

Lovin’ all these pictures! All my activities done and now settled down with my first pint of Mosaic IPA. Cheers!

I have a feeling you'll still get through it

Silly me. Locked myself in the garage, purportedly "putting away tools" after another back-breaking and death-defying day repairing garage roof. Managed to accidentally spill 4 half halfs of "Stockpile APA" down my neck while in there. Luckily I survived.

Lucky boy, cush- good job you store your beer in there, not your car...!!!

yup, but what a way to go.... Death by beer

Yes, by all means...

4.5Kg Vienna malt
300g Carahell EBC 30
150g Torrified wheat
75 min mash at 150F

Bring the wort to boiling (212F)
20g Simcoe Leaf AA=13% (60 mins)

1/2 Protofloc tablet (15 mins)
30g Simcoe Leaf AA=13% (15 mins)
30g Mosaic Leaf AA=11.4% (15 mins)

Reduce temp to 165F
30g Simcoe Leaf AA=13%
30g Mosaic Leaf AA=11.4%
Hop stand for 30 mins at 165F

23.5 litres in FV, OG=1046
20g US West Coast yeast

Dry hop on day 7
50g Simcoe Leaf, added dry
50g Mosaic Leaf, added dry

Barrel on day 12, FG=1007, ABV=5.0%

Because there are a lot of hops, you will need to condition for a while for best results. Mine was conditioned 8 weeks.
(You can drink earlier!)

You will have brought the wort to the boil after mashing. I’ll edit the post.

Do you need more detailed instructions?

 

[eyuptm]

No, my apologies, I misunderstood the reply. Makes perfect sense now, thanks. Would you imagine that the substitution of Vienna for light MO would change the profile significantly? Cheers Tim.

The beer will be a little different but you’ll still get a nice beer. If you were trying to clone something it would matter but if you just want to make a nice beer don’t fret it.

Feel free to ask if you have more questions. Good luck!

I don't understand this mixture of units, degrees F , then grams not oz, and Arabic numbers not Roman numerals.

Could be worse, I could revert to “northern”

I lived through the change to metric so I can (and do) move seamlessly between them. There could be a rationale - grams are smaller units than ounces, degrees fahrenheit are smaller units than degrees celsius - helps to be more accurate

Why do people use F for high temperatures but C for low. I never see I lagered at 34 degrees but if it's hot then it's 80 degrees outside.

I only use F when referring to temperatures I set on my temperature controller - mashing, mash out, hopstand and pitching. Then back to C for fermenting etc, I have a beer lagering at 3C. Surely this all makes sense

Not drinking much tonight but just cracked this one open.
