What are you drinking tonight 2021?

The head on that looks like the exact opposite of my Porter!

Stout tap. Plus I poured a pint and drank/refilled which always gives a bigger head

Really savouring it whilst I wait for these boys to cook - inspired by the which bbq thread.

One is stuffed with garlic butter the other injected with peri peri.

Ohh that looks good. A late purchase of last year was a rotisserie bbq from b and q for £5. Electric spit on it that spins away over charcoal and after seeing your post I might get it out for tomorrow.

Is the recipie for this on your brew day posts

 

[Horners]

Dead pony - this is probably my favourite brew dog. Might have a crack at doing this from DIY dog. Just lobbed a handful of hickory on the coals - smell is tantalising.

looking at that thinking it looks good and I would give it a go as I have everything here lol

First beer of the long weekend, a sipper whilst I unpack my malt miller order that arrived an hour or two ago. Too many options for what to brew on Sunday now!

 

[Donegal john]

Sticking with the citra ipa and I’m even watching coronation street because SWMBO is sitting in the bar drinking southern comfort so I won’t push the crap tv issue.

 

[Leon103]

A couple of hours was enough lifting slabs. Finished what was left of the DIPA was putting away the tools. Quick wash and back on it.

The bitter is nice so by all means give it a go!

I just looked on the computer for my recipe sheet and there isn’t one because I haven’t brewed the pale ale since I created the recipe sheets. I do have a basic recipe though...

Mash water and sparge water is RO water. Mash water is treated, sparge water is not. For a 23 litre batch I use 20 litres mash, 10 litres sparge.

Water treatment (for the mash water only) uses just 2g calcium chloride and 2g calcium sulphate for a water profile of SO4:56, Cl:48, Ca:50. If you don’t do water treatment just do what you normally do.

When I made this I was getting 65% efficiency so you might have to make some small changes in the grain bill to suit your own efficiency.

20 litres treated RO water

4Kg Pale malt
200g Crystal malt EBC 30
150g Torrified wheat
75 min mash at 150F

Sparge with 10 litres untreated RO water

15g Magnum AA=15.3% 60 mins 30 IBU

1/2 protofloc tablet at 15 mins

40g EKG AA=4.8% 10 mins 4 IBU

23 litres in FV, OG=1042
1 pack Liberty Bell yeast

Keg on day 12, FG=1006, ABV=4.7%

That looks good but might adjust to crystal 60 as that’s what I have to hand and Nottingham yeast

 

[Tanglefoot]

Osu !

Edit. @StoutWolf am also unpacking Malt Miller order for weekend brewing !

That will be fine but you’ll have more of an amber than a pale unless you also reduce the quantity.

I just saw another of your posts saying you’re low on stock - that’s actually a good reason for brewing the bitter because it conditions very quickly. Mine is one week conditioned today but I didn’t wait this long

 

[Leon103]

This dipa will be the last of the night. Just dawned on me that I have a early start and long day tomorrow. Got to drive 2.5hrs pick up swmbo's new car, wait for the tow bar to be exchanged between cars. Then drive home, via picking the kids up from my parents.

The DIPA is a lovely colour. NZ hops and kviek yeast. Happy days.

]Because of work I have limited time for brewing and as I’m normally brewing stouts or ipa’s I never start drinking when they are at their best. I tend to be content when I have 3 kegs in the fridge and forget/not bother brewing until I’m nearly out so begin the cycle all over again. A few quick conditioning brews would be fantastic to get ahead of the game as I recently got a new conditioning fridge. Cheers.

 

[Donegal john]

Swapped to an American stout dark bitter roasty and bloody lovely. Gets better every day but will likely be done by the time it’s ready lol

Started with my Czech amber . Fancied a Proper Job today
